True.

In that case, I think allowing mature content on here may bring a lot more. Not sick stuff...ah I dunno, I'm out of ideas

Hey guys sorry about my tardiness.

The site is here for all of you, BS passed it on to me or I asked BS to pass it on so I could keep it alive for all of you.

No ones going to hurt my feelings if they want the site gone, everything will be backed up and saved. Everyone knows where and or how to get in touch with me.

As for the site, other then the vB license and theme (one or two I forgot) it does not cost me anything to host.- and some of you donated to help cover part of that cost.
It's on the same server as my personal site and FPSadmin, so as long as FPSadmin is around and the sponsors help cover that cost these forums will be here.

Just for the facts, other then news I don't post much in the forums over there (FPSadmin) either. - just don't have the time.

I had high hopes for the site but like Gerv mentioned EA helped drive that idea into the ground rather quickly.

BS still has not transfered the AA.com domain to me, even after I paid for an additional year for him but I know he had some issues with the domain company.

Other then Porn, sorry guys. it's your call.

Then there is the archive idea, close the site but keep it open for anyone to search it.

By all means if anyone needs me or there is a site emergency, the mods have my contact info

or PM me here or at FPSadmin.com

You can also email me and my IM contact info should be in my profile (granted I'm not on IM that much).

Email is rudedog -=at=- gmail doott com jim -=at=- landi ddoott net

sorry but I get enough spam LOL.

Starting up a TF2 site back in June would have been successful, but there's too many huge boards for that game now.

Battlefield Heroes could very well evolve into a successful board. I see that videos for that game are getting a lot of hits on gametrailers.com. More view than any other PC game right now.

you all love the c0k

revamp the forum. more of a casual message board rather than a game forum. game sections, music sections, cinema sections, female section (not for women stupid, for us to objectify women), etc. that would be kind of neat.

I like that idea, but one concern I would have with it is it would divide the members up between forums. We don't have the regular membership to sustain multiple sections. We can hardly sustain one offtopic section as it is.

I think we obviously all know we need to draw in new members or bring back old members. If we think a general forum will do that then i'm all for that. I think anti's idea is the best suggested so far.

Has the site been moved to a different server or host or something, feels pretty sluggish loading sometimes.

Coleman · 03-08-2008, 03:30 PM

loool

rudedog · 03-08-2008, 05:45 PM

For the site feeling sluggish, it's because we have about 176 people downloading the latest CoD4 patch and map editor.

I was also backing things up and cleaning old files off the server.

Well to the notion that people won't join because many of the people here have high post counts...me being the champ and all that...

All we need to is reset everyones post count to 0...and make all of our join dates to be the opening of the site...and then people won't even know we were a community before and shit

Id like the idea of a general forum...but aren't those harder to attract members due to the fact many of them exist?

it will be easier for them if the interest are more broad and general, instead of just specific games. i know a lot of us would appreciate a music forum, or a cinema forum. a sports forum i'm sure would get it's fair share of attention, etc. if you can't relate to any of those then you're not a human being.

i would also like to take this time to thank rudedog for all that's he's done and doing.

Yeah, gotta give props to Rude for picking up this site from the dumpster.

Nyck hit the nail on the head. We lost a lot of members due to a thing called "Life". (TGB, Milla, Judas, Maple, Art,....etc) **i know Milla posted today** but you get the idea.
If we never lost members like that, this place wouldn't seem so dead. We just need a kick in the nuts to get it going again. I really don't care what you guys think but....it's like watching family/friends grow. I remember when some of you peanuts were dreaming of pussy. Now some of you are actually getting some!!

Soon, you'll watch guys like me, Nyck, and JohnJ walking with fucking canes. Think we're nasty now?......lol

Coleman · 03-09-2008, 01:38 PM

yep a bunch of the college guys were busy with midterms right before spring break. Life is a bitch.

elstatec · 03-09-2008, 01:50 PM

we lost maple to w.o.w not real life.
