that this forum has really digressed. just recently, too. I mean, I actually can't remember the last time I took part in a conversation that was on-topic AOE. for that matter, i can't remember the last time i even read a thread that was AOE and stayed on-topic.

hmm, now that that's said, i'm not quite sure where I want to go with this thread...

ok. i've decided what should be next.

*ahem*

I read everything, but I can't comment on 6 pages of "lol" "you nubs" and whatever 1 sentence responses there are.

Ah well, SC2 will save us.

Yeah it's a problem for more than half a year now.

There isn't so much to discuss about aoe3 anymore. The game is 5 years old and everything has been discussed. On HG there's a discussion sometimes but that's because a nub says stuff that's stupid (bestieros FF FTW) or it's about otto vs spain on nilla.

One problem that we have here (for quite some time now) is that a few people spam a lot. They react on almost every topic and their posts do not contain more than 3 words or don't add anything to the topic. Other people don't like to read through enormous amount of posts that don't contain anything interesting. That's why I didn't read a topic about the fan patch launcher problems of bpds, I just didn't feel like reading his K. posts and decided to ignore his topic.

The only active forums are /b/ and the Funpatch forum (with more than 45.000 views!) and that's why I do my best to keep the FunPatch forum clean (especially the discussion topic). That's why Kapow is on very thin ice now, because he thinks it's necessary to spam in a topic with more than 1400 replies.

Some people have better things to do than spam here all day =)

I think there could be many things to discuss. But it's a fact that everythings been more or less discussed. If it's about strategies for a certain civ, the discussion often ends up very one-sided and meaningless. Like on hg, a nub wants to learn to play china, one says "lol" and gives him a link to a china guide -.-. It's like studying: yes you can read theory and learn some that way, but having a conversation about the theory with someone makes you learn stuff more efficiently. It is shown by some research that when comparing 2 person, 1 who only reads theory, and other who reads and discusses it, the results are following: The one who discusses about it remembers 30% more than the one who didn't discuss it. Don't know about you, but i like to have good constructive conversations in general. In some way i'm saying that you should too. It's not like i'm writing some social guide here, but please act natural :D Arguing, especially about some aoe3 stuff is just lame.

+ when people introduce "new" strats, they are always shot down and said "do this BO, much better" Build orders are sad imo, people just copy what others do and never develop the skill to react properly in a situation ;D If you wanna become good (this is a real life tip too), don't only learn stuff , but become an expert of it. A happy little preaching session I'm writing here, maybe a bit off-topic. But the main thing is that there's a message within these words :D

I have to say i like the more mature behaviour on the forums. (luke, bart, me :wub: ) It makes much more sense to read the stuff here if everyone talks about real matters. So stop going "no u", "+1" , "+331" Et Cetera all the time, happy to read forums if it's all like that.

If we keep this forum more proper it will stay alive longer ^^ But right now our priority should be the funpatch. It's the top priority here right now.

Yes i was a bit bored, but no flaem men :P

Nice post sami. A quality post (about low quality posting lol), unfortunately quite rare nowadays :(
Everyone should think quality instead of quantity IMO. Unfortunately some people, like nitro retard, enjoy getting high post counts a little too much... :/

Well Im at negative posts, so dont think I go for post count. However I do understand what you guys mean. While I have been posting short posts, that doesnt neccessarily mean their useless. Tbh, some of my posts have been humorous, while being short. Bpds goes, "K", "Lolk", and "be naice men". And easy way to solve this is forcing all posts to be >7 words or so. Any less and there really is going to be no quality in the post. Lets give an example. I.E. in response to making Sioux bison units

"That was cool, make the bison fly perhaps?" (8 words)

rather than

"GJ", or "K" (1 word)

Obviously the second post lacked any imput, and the first one, while being short, served a purpose. Imposing a 7 word minimum will clean up the crap of prawny and bpds (and sometimes me :D ), while still being able to say things like "NICKNUB, IM A FAUKING PWN YOU MEN" When the thread applies.

Just my opinion, take what you want from it

Mario, a post cannot be considered "quality" once it passes the magic mark of 7 words...



That just stupid.



Here, I'll show you an example of a bad post over 7 words.

I think you should heighten the warning count to like 10 and give warning to people who post unnecessary posts. Pretty simple.

just ban them from forums not clan, or once you hit 10 warning exile them to a forums section where spamming is legal. like you can allow spams is /b/ only or something but put a cap on topic creations to create a fair ratio as the ones to AoE3/SC2

Damn i think i missed this topic when i was away :(

I agree with all of the above, me mario and prawny are ruining the forums but there isnt actually anything to ruin atm, besides the fun patch and i dont think ive spammed anything in there for that very reason

I promise i wont do anymore pointless posts from now on, ie no one/short answer posts such as: K or LOL! to name a few and no more plugging of rank etc

And just out of curiosity how many WPs am i on atm?

Also when the clan moves to maily SC2 clan i promise to behave properly on these forums, beside the off topic forum ofc :D

Maybe we'd have less spam if we had more topics dedicated to AOE3 and other specific topics? Luke pretty much hit the nail on the head.

We just need to be more creative now. BUT HOW

Not true. Some of the warnings are indeed for posting negative things about Ducks.

The others are for spam.

@bpds, you don't have any warning points yet. I guess you don't derail too many topics and listen to mods when they say it's enough. Mario and kapow however always post one (or more) spam post when the mods say they should stop. That's why they have so many warning points.

mario if you wish, I can remove all your WP from ducks, but in that case all the regular warnings will be made to increase warning levels (a lot of your warnings did not increase WP) in which case I think you would be banned.
