still waiting for that constructive earl post. i mean it's only been 4 days. if drule has to wait 4 days for each constructive post to take the site into the direction which will satisfy you more, maybe the site will be done in 3 years with luck. this is what i meant that drule should just make the site and try to not even pay too much attention to everyone here because that gets us absolutely nowhere.

christ man. he is not waiting for me or marge or any of us. we are not the entire forum. he doesn't need our permission, and if we don't get our point across before they start coding then too bad. and yeah, it's tough getting motivated to go through the effort of making a concrete post out of some abstract ideas when I already know what the response is going to be.

I just wanted to say that SRY DRULE i'll leave it at that and let people give their suggestions! you are right, you can't please everyone and it's just best to do it how you want to and if good suggestions come up then implement 'em!! i am sorry again i will stop now.

please do. since you have no suggestions concerning the site, all you've been doing all thread is posting reactionary clutter.

This is a good post and something I can mostly agree with.

actually this is what we've been saying, just worded differently. how frustrating. if shakespook had only arrived earlier.... by the way, I haven't seen an admin response to Shakespook's post, and I'm wondering if he managed to get through or not

REq: custpom rpg fight system

I'm writing it now but first I will answer these questions to dispel any misconceptions you might have

I don't want this topic to sidetrack more than it already has, so what is the problem exactly? Do you want us to completely scrap the idea and let GW be the way it is because it is "perfect"?

no. no one thinks it's perfect as it is, and we all agree that it's good to see something being done. we disagree about what's being done, which I'll address in my next post shortly.

Or do you WANT a new site but you want someone else to make it?

only if it comes to that, but I think it would be better for all of us if it doesn't.

Or is it that you want us to shut down GW because it is lost anyway?

not me, not marge or ramci or any of us guys who have been trying to make suggestions instead of saying LET IT DIE

1. It's a completely separate site. It's not going to be a new version of GW in more than that it is a successor in spirit and run by GWers, so it's obviously going to be different in a lot of ways, but probably not different enough to stop GWers from enjoying their stay there.

this is exactly what we're trying to make sure this happens. we don't think you've paid enough attention to things like "probably not different enough" and we're trying to provide some insight into how you can get this transition to work out much more smoothly

3. If you don't want the site to be focused on game development, you're free to make a site of your own that isn't. Nobody is stopping you. You could also visit Tomatoland and whatever other sites there are that originally spawned from GW. Nobody is stopping you.

It can be about game development, since that's what you personally want to do with the site because that's what you personally are interested in. but I don't see why it can't be more than that, and I'll address this in my next post when I get back. also, tomatoland was never meant to be a replacement for GW and in its current state I doubt it could.

It's amazing how much earlchip has thrown his feces all over this topic. I'm sure there were some interesting points at some point before you started arguing with absolutely everyone for little reason. Arguing with everyone on the forum isn't really helping anything bar kill off this topic.

i got ya back earl. fuck the haters

B) a section for board-based role play, with subsections for "light" (Freeform) and "Heavy" (GM, fixed rules) RPs, either held on there or elsewhere. Possibly also an adult rp section if applicable.

Oh man, let's not revive that horrible rping sub-forums from back in the days. That shit was pretty fucking embarrassing when you look back on it.

Woah woah WOAH.

I just woke up and thought I read "Diff'rent Strokes RP".

That's the forum I want.  I get to be Dana Plato, I call dibs right now.

What'choo talkin' 'bout, Vellfare?

*canned laughter*

no you're doing it wrong:
