The shout box is good, but needs to make it longer so that we can eaily see the last few messages. We need some pics too. And some games intro and latest development so more people are attracted to them.
Hell, make me a moderator ;D

you come back from being inactive and suddenly you're ready to go? Where were you when TEA was failing and no one was around this board? How did you get members to come back and be interested again. Where were you when I asked for help coding and redesigning this forum? How many countless thousands of threads have you moderated and tried to make interesting on this forum? I don't think redesigning the shoutbox is going to do a hell of a lot for TEA. Why don't we redesign the reason we visit this forum.
/Kaiser finishes...

geez, kaiser, easy man i know you're frustrated, but no reason to have a go at ploor for that, at least he's taking the time to visit it's nowhere his fault that a forum grows silent, it's a number of factors outside anyone's doing you can't just 'decide' to have an active forum, people have to start seeing this as home again it takes time, be patient

side note: i probably don't have to tell you this but: you know i really appreciate the great job you did renovating this place, it's a magnificent work and i perfectly understand it irritates you enormously if someone drives by shooting random comments about it i'm just saying... ploor was maybe inconsiderate, but he never meant wrong, so please don't shoot him on the spot

oh kaiser you silly goose you like i just messaged you over AIM kaiser, I suggest a spot for The Last Nights and I suggest that people join the game and check it out, its very addicting. Ploor and I both have ref links in another thread, or message either of us so you can join China and conquor the world! ;D

Kaiser, perhaps I'll throw in my 2 cents comment: A forum like this is like a house in the virtual world, the host (you) decide whether you want a open garden style buffet where lots of people can gather and talk about anything under the moon. Your wage is the no. of hits in the counter, the higher it is, the more important your site is. I've been to a few blog sites and the busy sites usually have girls and guys mixing together - well this is natural as our instinct is to find opposite sex or like-minded lads (online gaming, etc) to talk and joke. I am sure you are doing a good job, however it is also the responsibilities of the community to contribute their ideas and bring friends here. Patience is also an active ingredient we need. If Hyperiums section was included, I'm sure you'll see lots of posting cos that game is (or was) really active and pumping

There once was a hyperiums section Ploor, but KW deleted it because nothing ever happened there. I was thinking the same, but then again, what would we post there in stead of in the hyperiums forums? or what would we need to post that can't be done in the hyperiums forums? The only I can think of right now is a little intro and a link to hyperiums to possibly interest new people, and to rant at Pollux without creating more fuzz in the hyperiums forums

lol yea i told kaiser this yesterday; i think the board needs to take a different direction altogether... a different aim from being just a one-game/one-clan forum to a wide-spread group of friends, playing many different games, but joining up here as the home base, discussing al sorts of stuff game-wise, but perhaps even as much casual things (although kaiser hates it if there's only spam so we should have some content as well ) so there's my random thoughts.. any input is appreciated

i feel pretty much the same way smoking does, as i have said in some other threads. what i like here is the suggestion for a Last Knights board...I just started playing the game and I can't see if it's got any depth at all to survive long time playing but for the moment i have to say i'm rather...pleased with it;)...just an honest recommendation...

In my opinion it's quite easy. Me and Revoltie created this board, with the help of Luthien. I got basically all its member, by PMing the people I knew in game @ KoC. Getting a board like this one up and running was actuallly quite easy. That was only because KoC was flourishing (start of Age2, totally new concept, close to no clicking involved, or at least, manageable) and there was a need for a forum. I'm 100% certain that we can create a similar board quite easily. We have the people-potential, we have the knowledge and experience, we're just lacking the right game. IF Olymp (hyperiums alliance), would be controlled by an ex-TEA member, I'm 100% certain we could bring everyone here and make this forum as active as ever. There are ingame forums at hyperiums, but they are insufficient for having a decent chat. I don't know about the lastknights, is there a need for a forum outside of the game? If yes, there's an option.

There's a ingame forum for LK but very sucky. I'd rather post here all the tips, tactics and stories. I'm sure Puffie has a lot more to say cos we're noobs to this game

TLK has an ingame forum, but i never visit it since it's full with bragging and other crap . Your friends-section is some kind of forum as well, where people from your country post different tactics and training guides and such, but also a lot of crap, certainly when an age is almost over In OAA we have a seperate TLk section which is rather active.. but then again that forum is always active lol But with all the will in the world... i can't see spicy play TLK ;D
