Very good - i think many pilots will appriciate that they don't need to register somewhere else to have a corp forum. Good move - let's see how you implement it.

Looks like to morrow now so they spread out the number of web pages in transition at one time. CEO of the corp activates it per the devblog. Option is visable at the bottom of the forum.

While I love the idea of corp forums as a valuable tool to organize multi branched business , i do disagree on certain things , such as no alliance forums ability?

It is allready hard for alliances to manage and maintain when members leave the corporations in their alliance. As alliance management does have direct access to member lists of its members.
So i hope this will automaticly restrict members leaving the corporation to avoid further access? As well as provide Alliance forums to have this function.

Voting options are MUST HAVE!

And a last but not least concern...

Is there a way we could get roles ingame to control access? So for example I may not want to give someone full director roles, but want them to see and reply to stuff in the announcements and board room catagories.


I agree on that one, security wise this is not adequate at all , a seperate access layer option should be provided, independant of the director role.

The Director role allows full access to all assets in every office and all it's starbases belonging to that corporation, it is a role that can potentially lead towards ruthless abuse due to the allready inadequate ingame corporation member roles and title system.

The roles system ingame is allready pretty tough to customize and make secure with severe problems in its three layered system, Based on location , HQ and Other. And let's not even start on the alliance roles that never even worked!

Why not simply add a second Communications Officer option called Board Room Communications Officer or something.
But director role as only option to allow secure access to a certain group does not suffice at all.

Ideally provide a real forum administration management control panel with options to appoint members in a number of self chosen security layers like any good forum provides.

Roll I will keep my own forums until you provide a real forum management console with custom security group layer access settings inlcuding alliance support and certainly custom banner support ;-)

Get your priorities straight

- GIVE US OPTION TO BROWSE THE FORUM WITHOUT JAVA LIKE IN OLD FORUMS.


I don't have a problem with this. Running Firefox with NoScript running at max-paranoia, has 27 scripts blocked between googleapis.com and eveonline.com and it works flawlessly.

Of course, I can't post with that, but then again I only use Firefox for paranoia browsing (which is pretty much all the time).

And I don't believe it requires of Java. It is JavaScript (or so says the big nasty exclamation point), which is not the same thing.

The current expected launch date is February 8th, which constitutes as "soon" in every sense of the word I believe.

I published this news item about the delayed launch yesterday but forgot to add a link to the news in this thread. The date I mentioned was apparently an optimistic one Smile

We'll keep you guys in the loop about the progress as soon as we know more!

Someones already said it, long thread. I ll say it again just to tick someone off ...

... and when patch- or hick-up day comes all corp forums go down. Just as with eve voice.

Coms severed = bad idea.

Unless they are hosted somehow separate from everything that goes down during times when server has it s tities in the air.

Thats why external rocks.

Access will be determined by in-game roles.


So basically people will need starbase config to post and they can also unanchor all our towers?

People should really read the hole blog before making comments about roles that never ever got mentioned in the blog.

Binding the "inner" forum to the role director will work for some but director is a role where only 100% trusted friends can get. I would like to see something like the wallet devision handling specially for the forums to who can talk / view in which part.

Not every body needs to know how much material (for war or what ever) is ordered but it surely exceeds the director part.

Still corp forum is a good thing. Looking forward to it.

As great as this whole corp forum is, its kind of worthless without it being able to be used by the alliance......just saying.

Yeah for really small or new corps who don't want to buy a forum this is really nice. Also no more handing out API keys to random dudes to get on the forums.

I'd also be nice if there was an alliance version.

Also would you mind posting a devblog when this goes up. We went looking for it and couldn't find it today.

I honestly think PoCo based sov is a good idea https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1417544
