Re: Questions!

Ah! Well, I could make the forum password protected. That might work, indeed! I'd love to post some stuff I've got, and get critiques. And it could always get deleted, should someone get to publishing.

And I will see if I can fix the link thing. Silly, indeed.

by Elfie Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:43 am

I was hoping you could! Excellent. And thanks for looking into the link thing. Smile

by Lycanthrope Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:50 am

Nah, I think the link thing is fine. Prevents annoying spammers from entering our lovely home.

As for the short stories thing, lovely idea. As I soon enter my Sci-fi/Fantasy class, I wanna have a chance to bounce off some ideas around with you creative minds.

For copyrighting issues, I guess a password protected forum would be okay. But how would new members join? :O

by **Areada** Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:51 am

Link thing is fixed, I believe (but I will only leave it for a week, and then put it back up because of the spammers, as Lycan pointed out). And I will put the new forum up tomorrow. It will just be a section of this forum, not the whole thing. I believe that ought to be alright.

How would new members find us? Shall we send spambots around with recruitment adverts?

I jest, I jest!

by Elfie Tue Jan 24, 2012 1:59 am

Are we actually wanting/expecting new members? I wouldn't mind, just curious since I know that the my friend made our forum so no one else could sign up after everyone we wanted joined, which stopped spammers. We could do that, if we don't want any more members?

by Lycanthrope Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:01 am

Maybe we can gain other MG players? I'm sure out of those THOUSANDS of people, a few must be role-players. TS hardly started and we had a great community of role-players, and that was only out of a couple hundred people.

by Elfie Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:08 am

I thought about that, but you know, TS was just something RPers would be drawn to, wasn't it? Or any writer, for that matter. Or anyone with imagination. The FB games aren't like that, though, so I'm not sure it would attract those people.
Oi, that sounds wrong. I'm sure you're right, there must be at least ONE creative person amongst them. How would we/they find them/us, though? I guess we could make a topic on the IP forums, but it's pretty much deserted there now...

I have a suggestion that when the board for posting things we've written goes up, a matching discussion board is also added for people to comment in.

I'm all for inviting some people from the Meteor Games forums to join if you want. There are some people who've been around since the Twin Skies days! I have to be honest though: I hardly even looked at threads not on the Roleplaying or Off-Topic Boards since VPN went down, so I'm quite out of touch with any non-RPers. I may not even be remembered.

Speaking of other RP-ers, has anyone heard from Draco, Red, or any of the others?

They haven't been on the forum recently... Red and Draco are my FB friends, though, so I could always message them and ask if they want to come. I could do that tonight, though Draco hasn't been on FB in a while, either, I don't think...

EDIT: Alrighty, messages and link sent. I don't know how to contact the others... Well, actually, I have Morick on dA so I could try letting him know there..

EDIT 2: Well, Morick hasn't been on dA in forver either, but maybe he'll log in one of these days so I sent a message anyway.

You remember me! Very Happy

But anyway, thanks for contacting me. I can't help much with the forum organization tonight because it's past 11 PM where I am and it's a school night, but I will try to help a lot tomorrow.

Of course! Though, I had trouble remembering your FB name, and wasn't sure if the person I was messaging really was you (until I saw your e-mail - then I sighed in relief that I hadn't just sent a very strange message to someone else who would have no idea what I was talking about. :p

Well thank you again, because that takes courage.

I'm not sure I am comfortable with people on the internet knowing my name and age and stuff...

Then again, I don't really care about that, what I care about is getting my inbox spammed with friend requests from relatives of people I know from the internet...

But yeah, it's getting really late, so, goodnight, see you all tommorow after school. Sleep

by Harry685 Wed Jan 25, 2012 6:45 pm

Of course we remember you, Red! ^_^

Of the potential pool of recruits, she seems promising. Very Happy

In our Meteor Games roleplaying group, she asked if there was a "Treasure Keepers" roleplaying topic. Unfortunately there wasn't even a "roleplaying" roleplaying topic going on at the time, so yeah...

However, if we can contact her...

by **Areada** Thu Jan 26, 2012 12:31 am

Hrm.

I don't know. I'll leave all that up to you guys, recruiting-wise.

by Lycanthrope Thu Jan 26, 2012 1:52 am

Looking at the old "Player of the Roles" group we had, which included pretty much all the veterans of the old MG forums, we're missing a few people.

Lupia
Acronym
Draco (obviously)
Lentle
leanandslippered
Leah
And people I don't know/remember
Girlie
hardxcorps

Seeing as there's an Off Topic board, I would like to put forward a suggestion to rename this one. It contains such threads as Questions, Rank Requests, as well as the announcement for the writing board.

I would recommend calling it "Announcements and Suggestions" or some such.

by Zip Sat May 26, 2012 6:38 pm

...I found Lupia on Kingdom of Loathing.

I put up Aequus' links from the Web Archive, and she asked if the roleplayers were still kicking around.

*deep breath*

And now we wait.

by **Areada** Sat May 26, 2012 6:50 pm

We're pretty good at kicking, if I do say so myself.

by Zip Sat May 26, 2012 7:14 pm

Pretty superb.

In fact, I'm almost tempted to sign us all up for a swim meet next month.
Top prize is $200.
