So, uh, about the new forums …

@djensen:

@Gargantua:

David - I will come down for a game if you are going to play at Karls!

We can make it the first live feed at aa.org?!?’

Let’s pick a weekend to do this. Maybe we can evolve this, over time, into an A&A.org convention. :wink:

We could play Anniversary edition on my friend’s giant map using A&A minis pieces.

Yes, let’s!

@Imperious:

I sent a PM to Djensen a looog time ago for that.

It is really no big deal. Anybody who looks into more than a few threads in GCNL and BOTB and still needs to see a badge to show that I know what I’m talking about… well… I don’t think the badge will convince them either.

It may be more important in the global game threads though since those are typically more active than the battle games.

…
I can change the subject name at will, again and again.
I can modify and erase, again and again, almost all of the message body, except I cannot left it empty.

@Imperious:

That’s why in these cases the Moderator can simply move this to where it belongs. I have no idea why that hasn’t been done already. The solution is NOT to allow the OP to just delete a thread which contains others people’s posts.

Here is above, another alternative solution (while waiting a Moderator) that an Opening Poster can do on its own Opening post.

It is possible to left almost everything blank, except for 1 single character (a dot is enough) in this two:
No subject was filled in.
The message body was left empty.

So if someone is starting a new thread in the wrong forum, just let him know that he have just to start a new one in the good forum and just copy the message body from his older one.
Then, once it is done he can erase everything and left a single dot “.” in both subject and message body section.

The OP is not powerless about is own post and starting thread.
He can also left a message like this: “To mod: Erase this thread, please.”

All the others replies can be easily erase by each author.

I seriously want to play 30 games of global but I do not want to crash the server lol.

I noticed that if I edit… then the dice will all reroll!

HMMM.

I was thinking maybe have moderators delete games long after they are completed.

Just delete everything inactive for more than 6 months. That is super quick. If you want to spend many hours you can save the last file of every single game and put the “title, date, and players”  and post an entire thread with just the last file and the result of who was who and who won.

If that does not clear enough space. Have mods delete games that are completed and recorded. That is it.

I win 3/4th of my games and I will never look at them again. There is no point to them.

Thanks. Yes, the forums will get a change too but that comes later.

@otahere34:

Looks amazing! Is the forum layout going to be the same as is or changed in someway? Looking great, can’t wait!

Yes i suggest they need to contact a moderator first before the first post…just to make sure these are humans and not spamming machines, then we access their account and toggle “enable” so they can post.

To really feel bad … wait until you hit the 5000th post :) …

i think there should be the “get a life” rank from there on, trumping the moderator rank ;)

It’s completely free.

Just visit: http://www.phpbb.com, and all the information is there. Good luck! :P
