One thing I'm concerned about is the koko+BR+ginku+luck core (lol FWG) and how they will treat other users + newcomers. I wanted a community where anyone is welcome (barring idiots etc) and I don't want people excluded because koko/br/ginku/luck don't like them. This PM with pnerd sums it up the best: Quote: (21:18) zeroality: i've been thinking about this new community (21:18) zeroality: i dont want it to be indigo v2, or pnu v2 (21:18) zeroality: i'm worried about koko, ginku, BR, luck>skill, CBB (21:18) zeroality: i dont want them trolling new users, or creating an exclusive community (21:18) zeroality: thoughts? (21:19) pokemonnerd: Oh (21:20) pokemonnerd: You mean Project Mayhem? (21:20) zeroality: well no, i was meaning like (21:20) zeroality: whenever we get koko+br+ginku+luck together (21:20) zeroality: they tend to turn whatever channel/server into their own community (21:20) zeroality: kinda trolly, and very exclusive (21:20) zeroality: like PNU (21:20) pokemonnerd: Right. (21:20) zeroality: koko would ban people that he didnt like (21:20) zeroality: thats not what i had in mind (21:21) zeroality: i wanted a server where we could have competitive tournaments and an enjoyable community (21:21) pokemonnerd: I think if we could seriously get a good base, like a good amount of regulars, they would take a set of rules seriously. (21:21) zeroality: alright (21:22) zeroality: should i start a thread on project mayhem about it? (21:22) pokemonnerd: I mean PNU was literally me and 5 other people when they started coming in lol (21:22) pokemonnerd: Sounds good. Thoughts?

Junior Member Posts: 44 Group: Moderators Member #41 Joined: Apr 4, 2012	I only troll people who deserve to be trolled and I only threat idiots like shit, e.g: Annoying Orange. I never banned people from PNU, unless they were being retarded. Also (23:09) Elements: Would you join zero's new community? (23:09) Katherine: idk (23:09) Katherine: starting a community (23:09) Katherine: is hard (23:10) Elements: I'll be active in that community and PO (23:10) Katherine: same (23:10) Elements: but if it seems that the new community is more fun (23:10) Elements: then I'll switch (23:10) Katherine: I won't quit PO at this point

If we want a community that isn't a constant mutual masturbation session we'll have to accept more people and try to avoid banning people unless they actually do something wrong.[edit_reason]nothing[/edit_reason] Edited by Key, May 28 2012, 04:47 AM.

Poop Spreader Posts: 20 Group: Members Member #4 Joined: Mar 26, 2012	oh i agree with this very much. I would be very happy to contribute. I would still be active on PO though, but whichever is more enjoyable i will spend more time on.[edit_reason]~[/edit_reason] Edited by Vintage Books, May 28 2012, 06:49 AM.

I HAVE FURY! Posts: 91 Group: Administrators Member #10 Joined: Mar 26, 2012	I don't know about the new server zero wants to make, but I am suddenly very interested. Put simply: If the right people are in charge, shit will be done properly. An excellent example are the varying degrees of control people have had at PO. Anyway, I'm off work for the next couple of days. I'll be sleeping soon-ish, but if you want to talk to me about this, go ahead and do so. I will respond when I can. Also, if you wanna go ahead and prove that it is you, zero, that'd be great. Send me a message on Facebook if you want - you should be able to find me easily. EDIT: spoke to zero, he proved it's him, LET'S DO THIS Edited by Professor Oak, May 28 2012, 07:02 AM.

Posts: 9 Group: Members Member #54 Joined: May 28, 2012	Alright. I just finished a project and am going to bed now, but will have the new forum set up tomorrow. We can continue this discussion there, as well as come up with ideas for the site name. We'll need to cover a few other things, so I'll make a list and we can tackle it one by one. I was going to go with myBB forums but I checked around and the latest version of SMF seems much more appealing. http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php - if you wanna take a look. I'll post with the link when it's up - should be around evening.[edit_reason]added evening estimate for forums[/edit_reason] Edited by zeroality, May 28 2012, 09:57 AM.

etc Posts: 28 Group: Moderators Member #7 Joined: Mar 26, 2012	Tbh I'm not really interested in a new community since I'm fine with our IRC channel, so w/e. I'll probably show up once in a while but that's it. I'd say I will restrain myself when it comes to trolling but lol we all know that's not happening. I also don't think this will have a lot of success but hey, you never know ALSO you mentioned that you want everyone barring idiots to be welcome BUT I only discriminate against idiots your logic is FLAWED ALSO I can abide by rules just fine, as shown by me not having a rightful infraction (the one I got was a load of bullshit) or losing my auth or anything else until coyotte started bullshitting on a ridiculous scale, it's just that I do whaetever I want as long as I'm not restricted by anything tl;dr I'm the best Edited by Ginku, May 28 2012, 12:41 PM.

Posts: 9 Group: Members Member #54 Joined: May 28, 2012	Well, that's a shame Ginku. Hopefully you'll come around. I meant to post this before, but yea I'm not dumping PO either. I'll still be webmaster there. Anyway, I couldn't sleep so I got up and have installed the forums but I'd like to get them configured before I give out the link. SMF apparently has a shitload of options available out of the box. I'm honestly amazed by some of the stuff I'm seeing here. Almost makes $200 for vBulletin seem like a waste. Anyway, so it might not be tonight since my sleep schedule is now fucked. I'll probably end up going to sleep at noon and waking up at 8pm now, but I'll get it ready as quickly as I can.[edit_reason]grammar[/edit_reason] Edited by zeroality, May 28 2012, 01:22 PM.

If they are being a bit too trolly/unwelcoming for your tastes, give them a simple nipple nip. I'm fine with just being on the IRC channel, but a new server would be nice. I rarely ever go on the PO server anymore. [edit_reason]![/edit_reason] Edited by DTC, May 28 2012, 01:23 PM.

I'm in anyway, but I won't leave PO[edit_reason]fuck this field[/edit_reason] Edited by Infernal Poetry, May 28 2012, 01:41 PM.

Poop Spreader Posts: 20 Group: Members Member #4 Joined: Mar 26, 2012	oh i had this thought while at work, and zero probably already knows this, but for this to work, this community needs something to attract users. I mean a to get an active community, there needs to be an incentive.

Slow pants: on Posts: 78 Group: Project Manager Member #2 Joined: Mar 26, 2012	Why exactly would this mean abandoning #etc? I'm back on PO(mainly for the wiki now) but I still go on IRC. That's like saying "Hey I'm gonna be active on smogon so I'm not gonna go to the IRC channel anymore." Just noticed the little thing in the topic is all.

Posts: 5 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Mar 27, 2012	Yeah, I don't plan to leave #etc just because there will be a server. That's a little stupid lol.
