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.


Couldnt have said it better....

Again, stick with one thing and finish it. You have yet to finish a campaign. Besides, why on earth are you doing this if you haven't even gotten a decent start on your own campaign?

Even I finished a campaign, many years ago. It sucked, but I learned how to FRED. And soon, very soon, I shall strike back with a brand new cam-

I'm monologing again. :wtf:

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


Yeah but the counterstrike community is huge too.  I can't name a half-dozen people who frequent any of the HLP alternatives that aren't also regulars here.  I don't know that I can name any besides friends of the moderator(s) or people who have been banned from here.  Spreading things out doesn't contribute anything when the size of the community is so (relatively) small.  So the point isn't that we have to many forums in general, it's that we have too many forums for our userbase.  HLP by itself has proven to be unreliable at times, but at the most we only need a couple of other sites for the community to interact through.  We already have 5 established, plus a couple of support forums, so I can't see how another one, especially one run by someone as unproven as Cobra (no offense of course) can possibly be of any use.  I give him credit for hosting something, but it probably isn't the best way to go about things as a new member of this or any community.
who needs a signature? ;)
It's not much of an excuse for a website, but my stuff can be found here

My point is that more forums don't hurt. People obviously aren't going to start deserting HLP in droves, and if a couple people find his forums instead of HLP or post there instead of HLP then at least they're still part of the FS 'community'. And if Cobra wants to use them for campaign work instead of trying to get hosted on GW or HLP, that just alleviates the bandwidth on their servers.

I mean, at least he went to the trouble to actually set up the board rather than getting an ezBoard, like most of the n00bs do. :p And then they wonder why no one posts on their ad-infested forums that pop up a dating service offer every 60 seconds.
