View Full Version : Hey Guys!



Mr President

I'm creating an acct for some of you before we let the others in. I'm still working
on things, but i wanted you guys (mainly mods) to get in and get
a feel for this new forum.

This one is just like the old WoW one. The forum offers so much more as
in features and it's more user friendly. Mods will have a much easier time
taking care of business. All your actions are logged so it's easy to keep
track of things.

We are going to be more strict in this one. I spent good money for this
forum and i'm not going to have it wasted on crap. Now with that said,
let's not get to carried away. We need people who stir the pot in this
forum. We don't want the ones who curse like mad, but we do want the
ones who seem to get under everyones skin and make some wild posts.

anyway, there is still much to be set up. I'm still putting mods in the area's
they need to be and will be bringing some of the posts over from the other
forum. 99% of it won't be coming over here. We will pretty much be starting
fresh.. I'm really looking forward to all the changes.

Many of the old WoW members didn't really like the new forum. I think they
will feel more "at home" with this one. I have set up a section for history
and i am encouraging people to bring up the WoW nations in there too.

If you have any questions please post them here. Right before we open this
up i will delete all this. But please if i have missed something then post it
here and i will try to get it done..

Thanks..

Looks very nice so far (although we do need some more color schemes and smilies) but I know those will come later.

Also, will we be carrying over old post counts/rep/etc?

Mr President
08-27-2007, 19:08
no.. we will be starting fresh. Bugged the crap out of me how all the bad reps were being given for no reason..

i don't know how it was on the other board but these are very very easy to mod and to keep things clean

i like this forum but man i was shooting for the top over there... and i was at the top with rep

Nation Wars Times?

is that what NWTS is?

Mr President
08-27-2007, 20:24
No nation wars times has it's own section.. NWTS is something different
that will come into play down the line.

Mr President
08-27-2007, 20:53
I'm trying to remember what the old WoW forums had in there. I know there
were a couple good sections that were busy..

If you guys can remember what some of them were or think of a section
that would be good, please post it here.

for some reason the quick post isn't working again
next time i talk to svenn i will see if he has a pic of the forums before he took them down

Mr President
08-27-2007, 21:16
quick reply is working for me

Mr President
08-27-2007, 21:32
you have to click on the quick reply button before you can post. It's the last button on the bottom right.. next to edit and quote and multi quote..

Calvin74
08-27-2007, 21:38
ahhhhh
ok i see it
is there a way to make it so you don't have to do that?
yeah i am lazy and know this should be the last thing to worry about:P

Mr President
08-27-2007, 21:41
Yea there is, but If you choose not to require a click, the system won't know which post a user is replying, making both the threaded and hybrid display modes non-sensical.

So clicking is better :)

Calvin74
08-27-2007, 21:45
ok
didn't know it messed up the adminstrative side:P

Crimson Shadow
08-27-2007, 21:49
Did anyone else get a warning from Mr P...or was it just me? lol

Calvin74
08-27-2007, 21:55
his test bot got one
you can see them at the bottom in the mods section:P
right above the admin section we don't have access to:P

Mr President
08-27-2007, 21:56
Did anyone else get a warning from Mr P...or was it just me? lol

lol i took it back.. I had to test it a few times to make sure i have the
rt mapped out for the logs.. It's all good! :rolleyes:

Crimson Shadow
08-27-2007, 22:00
I know it was just a test...I was just curious if I was the only one who got picked on :p

Mahdi
08-27-2007, 22:33
ha ha the forum isnt even public yet and brett has got a warning thats classic

Crimson Shadow
08-27-2007, 22:37
:confused:

And Mr P, I can think of a couple forums that we don't have that we had/have in WoW/NW

1. News (Admin Announcements)
2. Language Translation - Doubt we will be needing this
3. Link to Offsite Forums

Crimson Shadow
08-27-2007, 22:38
Wow these forums seem to have alot of lag.....anyone else have load times of 30 secs to 1 minute?

Mr President
08-27-2007, 22:46
The server is upgrading and doing it's nightly business..

I will add a news section in, but i'm not going to put in the other forum
links and the translation pack. I don't want to advertise for anyone's forums.

I can't remember what was in between the general section and the wars
and relations section in the old WoW forums.. I know there was the history thread but i can't think of the others..

i think you got most of the sections, few sugestions tho, move Server Links to the very top, add a link to the myspace, and face book group, then add a thread with all the voting sites, i dont know if u have all of them listed, if not they are all on the myspace page www.myspace.com/nation_wars


also can u make a sub forum off the nationwar times so we can post questions, polls ect, call it like editor hot spot or something like that

pcgluva
08-27-2007, 23:42

If you see any of the old WoW ppl on please let them know these forums
are here.. Tell them they don't have to play the game, we would just like
them to visit here often and post along with us.. Perhaps in the future
they will want to play.. when things have improved some..
