[Cobra]

[Unknown Target]

Yay?

[Cobra]

hey, at least you can post as guests from the start.

[Primus]

You went and did it...
Will you delete the Invision board or save it for comeback?


[EDIT] Hooray for the timewarp...

ACK! MORE TIMEWARP!

yeah, i'll just save it just in case something happens to the PHPBB one.

you guys can still post in the other 2 (invisionfree or proboards)

[StratComm]

Why?

What makes this board any different from the 5 we have now?  And I'm not counting Nodewars or the SCP forum.  We don't need another forum with the exact same topics and members as the rest.

[BlackDove]

He needs it because he wants to admin us.

Probably doesn't get that will NEVER happen.

[Night Hammer]

[Cobra]

no, i just want to want to provide to the friggin' community.

[Night Hammer]

thats what Pathways is for no?

timewarp

[BlackDove]

Nah, you have that n00bar desire every n00bar I have ever seen has, when he steps on to the forums where only valid contribution or sometimes hefty "old-skoolism" insight counts.

The n00bar wants to be important in the place he's at, and because he understands it will never happen since he has neither of the above, he goes and creates his own crap under the guise of something else, waiting impatiently for someone to step on his shoes in his own turf, so he can play god with them.

Never. Going. To. Happen.

I gotta get me some of that!

Why haven't I done this yet? Darn it all, the other n00bars are doing it...

[BlackDove]

Well some "newbies" are smart, actually in this community I'd say most of them are.

N00bars on the other hand... they are special.

[Fury]

Come on BlackDove, chill. Cobra is just excited over something new he has found and learned to do. Not that either are difficult, it's just the excitement similar to getting a new toy.

I'm sure the knowledge Cobra gained while setting those forums up (even though the installation is very much automated process) will be of use later on. It's the first step on learning further about hosting.

Granted, it will probably never be a FS community because we already have so many (and most people can't be bothered about more than HLP, even less more than two forums) alternatives to HLP. But it could be something else than FS related.

I like how people gripe about how many forums there are.

Go and do a search for counter-strike some time, and count the number of forums that pop up.

[Japong]

Cobra, man - why not stick to one thing and get good at it? Since I've joined I've seen you attempt making models, making missions, making campaigns, trying to join every campagin under the sun, going (and trolling - why act like that to Ghost?) on the SCP forums, signing up for voice acting, making websites and now starting your own forum.

Now, how much of this stuff have you actually gotten good at? How much have you actually finished? You'd 'provide' a lot more for 'the friggin' community' if you gave us something that was good enough that nobody else was skilled or committed enough to do- and that's something that takes dedication, and investment, not just a dilletante's monomaniacal obsession-of-the-week.

[karajorma]

Japong's right. For better or worse most of us consider you a member of the community so you don't need to work hard to be considered a member of the usual crowd here. You've done that much.

If you want respect it's a good idea to do something well rather than trying to do everything. If you point to the most respected people on the board they tend to do something very well rather than trying to do everything and failing. Even those of use who are jacks-of-all-trades like myself have a field that we are best at.

As for the forum I won't be joining. Nothing personal. I'm not joining GTD Bastion either. I simply don't have the time. As things stand I can spend more than 2-3 hours a day on the forums. No wonder I never find any time for work

You know what, you're totally right.

Time to go and turn myself into a CS community member.

Don't happen to have a shot of rabies I can inject myself with, do ya?

See?

n00bar!

hop, sig'ified.
