How would you rate the new forums?

[Corribus]

As far as my "Karma" is concerned, I'm fine with mine. I feel that my attempts to warn unsuspecting people about the dangers of SF gives me really good Karma … and speaking up about the prohibition of images in signatures also falls into the realm of Good Karma. It takes a lot of courage to stand up against a deluge of people who are against your ideas and beliefs.

Well maybe some day you will be memorialized with an eponymous highway somewhere for your tireless efforts on the behalf of humanity.

Why do we have to visit two forums for topics on HV? (I didn't even know there was such a forum - I thought the comments on the news items were just comments placed on the actual CH pages, and not on the Round Table...)

I agree that it's a little cumbersome. I think I know a way to fix this, but it would take a while to implement. Please don't be offended by the fact that I close the thread. I'm just trying to give priority to the threads that are visible from Celestial Heavens.

I'd prefer that the signature discussion moved somewhere else please!

I also noticed that other topics on HV forums have their duplicates on the News Forum, but these are not closed...

The "News Forum" is basically stuff that is posted on the CH website. I.e. news articles there automatically get posted at the News Forum here. If I'm not mistaken.

I understand that, I just don't think it's a good idea to keep topics which are game-specific on the News Forum. I don't have a problem with the News Forum as such, but I don't think it's the right place to discuss such things as creature stats in Heroes V or Hero abilities and skills. That should belong to the H5 Forum even though there is a news item on the main page which contains news on such a subject.
I dont't know, but perhaps Angelspit closed the topic because I linked to the site the news item links to, and so maybe he thought I made the topic as a news item? Think I'm going to send him a message...

Edit: To Angelspit: Well, you've seen my post, so I won't PM you. I'm not offended, I just don't quite understand the reasoning behind the division between the forums. I do, however, think that my argument about a difference in the quality of the comments in the News Forum and the other forums is valid. Meaning that the same topic in the News Forum and the HV Forum might get quite different replies content-wise and quality-wise.

@Symeon Star-Eyes
I don't know about the other threads, but I think yours was closed because a similar one had been posted as news earlier.

My guess is that if it's in the news, it has priority over those in the separate forums (mods, correct me if I'wrong).

[edit: oops, posted a bit too late. the above might or might not be still helpful.]

Symeon, creating a thread in the Heroes 5 forum for each news item would result in too many threads, I reckon.

[Symeon Star-Eyes]

I completely agree with you that a new topic in H5 Forum for each news item on HV would be too much. My point is that discussing creature stats, hero abilities and skills and such things on the News Forum is the wrong place. Discussing the news item as such on the News Forum is fine.

So a news item on an article in a magazine for instance, which says, among other things, that the battlefield will be 12x12 belongs to the News Forum as such. But if one wants to discuss the issue of the 12x12 battlefield that should belong to the HV Forum imo.

And that says DaemianLucifer, our best spammer, what's an irony.

Well I may be spamming,but I am not bashing everyone that disagrees with me.

[Pol]

Yes, you are already my horned favourite.

[DaemianLucifer]

I didnt know where else to ask for this(ok,I admit,I was to lazy to search for the questions thread):Can we have go to page option like on the previous forum(in a form of a list)?

[DaemianLucifer]

I officially apologize to HodgePodge for taking the side of the moderators,since I saw that pictures indeed are alowed in the signatures.Will you ever forgive me?

[Gaidal Cain]

For that matter, you might wish to think on making your own sig a bit smaller There's obviously no problem with the data size, but if you could decrease its height, by making the text some smaller size or cutting down on the spaces, it would be nice. Thanks.

It has been done!

Thanks.

Natten är dagens mor
Kaos är granne med Gud
-E.J. Stagnelius

While we're on the subject, what does that mean?

[theLuckyDragon]

I asked him before... the answer's somewhere on the forum...

[Gaidal Cain]

Something along the lines of
"Night is the mother of day
Chaos is next to God"

It's the end of a poem by the Swedish Romantic poet Stagnelius.

Apparently he's not above posting it again.

I really hate the fact that I don't know every language that exists everywhere!

[Gaidal Cain]

Hey, it probably took me less time to write it again than it would take for someone to search for it.

And I'd much rather see that everyone was forced to communicate in a language I know- less hassle for me that way

[LordHoborgXVII]

Of course it's now more steamlined and more elegant, but I still iss the old forums. The fact that they were uncomfortable and old only made them quaint. And the fac that I can't find my old account and have to start a new one is inconvenient. But on the whole the new forums are reasonably nice.

Including ranks we should be able to create own TITLES after reaching 500.
