EVE General Discussion

I knew i wasnt posting as much as i used to, but never knew I had this big of a impact

Removed a post discussing moderation. Keep it civil. Thanks.

No one is trolling or flaming you. Actually, you're being given advice.

Yes it is, the advice being don't lock so many threads.

The number of locked threads has gone down because the total number of threads has gone down.......

.................................

Also now you're discussing forum moderation. Tsk tsk.

My work here is done.

-exits stage left-

on the plus side we don't have 2-3 new how do I fit CNR threads every day

In a free society, moderators are accountable for their actions.

In New Eden, you can't even discuss moderation.

The man is keeping you down.


$*%& THE SYSTEM!!!

Adding my very own opinion as I still have 3k clicks to do to create my deep safespot, and finding this thread quite entertaining, from my total outsider to the "inner circle" posting I have seen over the years, the only glaring bump I have seen in the forums Is MUCH less "Alien Language" posting/posters here.

I still remember when browsing the forums that I hated the annoying circlecongratulatory slap in the back most threads eventually became and then on top of that People discussing the merits/flaws of X system/alliance/corp and how Y Ceo/FC/Roamer/Group "sucked"/"won" to levels of absolute mindnumbing drivel that any outsider (which I honestly am as I enjoy the game for many things except that) find totally undecipherable, alienating and reflective of People in lost towns discussing local elections and the merits flaws of the Mc Samathrupis versus the MaccMoneghelians and how their great grandfather used to date Lady Chelomeres of the Map ap Ughana Clan in the Village 3 days to the west, the one that had the small farmlet of the Vann Thorestelis, the ones that used to sell the weird smelling sheepskins and how the chieftains of the Pamawanti Tribe was so bad he led the Pamawanti and kin, the Otolomé to extinction and then guess what, the Otolomés intermarried the Samathrupis but the MaccMongeghelians have Okowuari Blood, their ancient enemies and some still say they hold a grudge....

Ugh.

These days when I go to outside sources I still see the same confined circle of self-congratulatory posting i find so obtuse, and funny when I see people tracing their "lineage" and "merits". It really makes me happy that is so hardly seen these days here to be honest.

People practically speak eve-creoles and patois only a very specific portion of the userbase understands, then on top of that cry foul to "tourists" for not understanding how to eat blue glazed doughnuts.

If anything, what I see is the total crystallization of these outsider groups as their own weight has fallen off the main crust and migrating elsewhere.

The Forums are different now, whatever metrics are used to define points as to WHY are in the end "assumptions", backing them on whatever metrics you can find out only makes them that still.

What I now theorize, since in the end that´s all we can do here is that further trimming of the forums shows the user-base has changed (which is gooooooooood) and the old guard is now Talking their Eve Patois elsewhere.

I also find highly interesting the reference to forums being an "old" form of communication to most youngsters, it could imply a lot of things.

Interesting changes for EVE ahead if what I believe will happen is true, and that is simply we are slowly gaining YOUNGER converts, fresher minds, unpolluted, that will make the game veer differently in the years to come, a change I actually welcome to be honest.

Minds that are more focused on micro blogging , that from my very 2 cents worth of an opinion is the real game changer here.

People complaining are just slower to adapt in this theory I am formulating

Forums by their very nature are too old, an older form of communication that is not instantaneous enough.

The question here to OP should be , if you perceive a problem in the virtual realm, perhaps its you not adapting faster enough to it? (using my theory that we simply have different people, not a straw man of any sorts haha, need to clarify that, and giving you an alternative to your conundrum)

Moments like these is when i wish I could work in this field of research, so many questions

As usual , a simple mind morsel for me, much love to OP/ISD/Players, not trolling nor attacking, just my habit of trying to deepen a topic in different venues.

Cheers!

Just gonna say that ISD Ezwal is my Hero =)

Part of this would be the fact that this is an old game. Virtually every question has been answered somewhere on the forum already and, despite Help Channel queries indicating the contrary, Google does exist.
