Who else is sad about the closure of the forums?

[Amentep]

Is this X-Rated pictures or X-Rated Roleplaying [cybersex] crap?   

 

Its supposed to be for "mature topics". The forums description is "Over 18's only. Warning: Adult topics - approach with caution."

 

That said, it doesn't get much traffic, the ocassional picture posts, or topic that revolves around sex/sexuality.

 

AFAIK, there's never been a thread for cybersex there (although I believe there was one about the phenomena of cybersex when the forums opened).

[Volourn]

Geez, people. Please don't over dramatize this. If the baords close; it will suck; but as the closing of the Interplay baords shown it's not the end of the world.

 

We are human (most of us anyways). We will survive. And, if someone decides to kill themselves over this; they weren't worthwhile anyways. "

As I have posted over at Winterwind, this is sad indeed.

 

I wonder how many new splinter-forums this will cause...

[taks]

Do they have foul language? politics? imbedded images?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

if you wanna bash the US, you'll have good company over there. most of the "politics" are focused primarily on that. there are a few crusaders defending against such talk, but they are in the minority. foul language is not really the norm, however, at least it is not nearly as acceptable as at the codex.

The human part or the not worthwhile part? :D

When the Interplay boards went down, was that a sign that the company was going to fold? I mean, is that the general red flag for developing companies?

Um, yeah, and an X-Rated forum for people over 18 who are into that kind of stuff.

Perhaps I should clarify, as taks and Amentep have. Yes, you may use profanity on the boards, although no one uses it like the people at the Codex. It is most often used as one would use it in casual conversation (in other words, not every other word), or to provide emphasis to a thought, and is more "PG-13" than "R". The X-Rated forum is used primarily as a forum for discussing mature topics of a romantic nature, than sibering or hard-core stuff. Personally, my favorite X-Rated threads have revolved around pictures of beautiful women. Fully half of the women in these threads were, in fact, clothed, and the other half were tasteful nudes (personally, I despise porn, although I do like tasteful nudes). It was more a celebration of the beauty of women than porn. Politics tends to be touchier, and I'll leave that bit alone (better for my blood pressure). All-in-all, it is a much friendlier and much more mature board than the Codex. Also, though it was founded as a refuge for the BIS posters displaced after the cancelling of Jefferson and the YOP at the Interplay boards, most topics deal with things other than gaming (though there is plenty of that, as well). I enjoy the boards, and would recommend that you at least look at them before making up your mind.

I totally forgot I already had an account there

Where would we go with our completely legit complaints about the game (Kotor2) then ?!?

 

I mean, just look at the backside of the box! It clearly shows an old woman with two hands, yet what happens in the game ? As soon as she gets the chance, she gets one of her hands chopped unavoidably off and you have to run through most of the game with a one handed old woman, despite the box clearly showing that she is supposed to have two hands. OMFG we was cheated by false advertising and I have this deep seated need to complain where nobody looks me in the eyes when I fling my righteous wrath at somebody!

The thing with the interplay boards though, is that most people left after most of BIS was fired, so no one was really there to miss it.

A vulture? Now I have never!

 

Just because I mentioned WINTERWIND(GO THERE NOW!), it doesn't mean I'm trying to pick up any of the fallen pieces that these forums sad fate has provided.

 

I'm just saying it's sad, that's all, and that I think the same over at WINTERWIND(GO THERE NOW!).

The worsest thing that can happen to a forum is when it is closed.

So, how you doing Panda? Tink still there? Josan still ruling with an iron fist?

 

 

on a serious note, I'd hope he still doesn't read his members PMs

Mistress's Lair looks promising and anything is better than Codex. I'll try my luck there. Winterwind I'm already aware of, but it looks too niche for me.

 

(What?! I'm bashing Codex? What makes you think so?)

don't ever let a feminist hear you say that :cool:

 

seriously, it will be sad if the forums go because of a few disappointed customers--everyone in marketing will tell ya that when people are happy with a product they generally don't bother to write the company and tell them so--but when they are disappointed they raise hell, often in the hope of getting something for free.

 

i don't post a lot here. but i have enjoyed the RPG discussion forum since day one--it rarely needs any major moderation and the patrons thereof are generally well-behaved, so why not just can the particular users who are creating the distrurbance and let everyone else keep the OE flame burning.

Without wishing to turn this into an advertising thread, If the forums do close, and anybody's looking for a place to go AC has recently expanded it's content to include KotOR & NwN. It's a growing, friendly community and anybody from here is more than welcome.
