Where should NESs be? (the real poll)

[civman2000]

see http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=68607 for details.

hello civman, Ive voted for a sub forum on civ3 stories. I think you should announce this poll on the stories forum with a link to it so that all the people who use the stories forum can take part in the voting process.

Hope you get a satisfactory conclusion to this issue.

I'd like a new fourm, but there just arnt enough players to warrent one. A sub fourm would most likely be the best option.

[Ming]

No... there isn't enough activity to warrent a NES only forum. So you can vote all you want, they are staying right here.

In the future, I will not be moving NES stories from the Civ III forum to here... I will just delete them since they no longer belong in the Civ III Stories Forums.

Apolyton is not a Democracy

So vote away if you really want to...

[civman2000]

WHat's wrong with having tehm in the civ3-stories forum then? If they belong here then about a fifth (baseless estimation) of the stories there would also belong here.

[Ming]

Because future stories will be deleted there... the new home is here

They were moved here because "somebody" wanted them out of the Civ III forum. And frankly, they don't belong there. So it was agreed to move them here since a seperate forum doesn't make sense.

I see no need to move them back, or allow them in two different places.

Ming, do you mean MarkG?

Well, anyway, could you please post and top a thread in Civ3 stories boards claiming that NESes were moved, so people who weren't here for longer could see that and don't search/post new NESes in Civ3 stories boards?

[Ming]

No... there was request made by some NES players to have a seperate forum... As can be seen from the low level of activity (civ III stories forum or this one), that wasn't warrented. It was also determinded that NES stories didn't belong in the Civ III forum... true enough.

So some representatives didn't seem to mind having them moved here.

*hint... hint... talk to ras... *

As you can see, this forum is just waiting for you guys to take charge. There aren't even enough threads going back 10 days or so to fill up the front page. It should make it easier to find the threads...

Since you can't have your own forum... and since it seems like you can take over this one... go for it.

*because the threads aren't moving back*

A reasonable and excellent suggestion. It has been done. I've topped the thread and closed it. All NES discussions should now be in this forum. I will leave it topped for awhile until people are aware of the change.

However, I also deleted the old poll thread that provided a link to this forum since it is no longer needed

Thanks for toping the thread Ming. I know that there is a lot of people who want to play NES, but a lot of things happened to kill the ones that were going on. I was thinking about starting my own. BUt I dont know.

[orange]

honestly i don't like them here because posts in S+D generally mean results for a dip game...but whenever I see a new post I come in and it's another NES post. That bugs me I guess...

...but it's not my call. Up to Ming and co.

[Ming]

Hey orange... this is the "STORIES" and Diplomacy forum Deal with it

[orange]

Diplomacy is far superior to these "stories" of which you speak

[Ming]

Only time will tell on that one orange... Considering that the diplo games can't even keep a full first page when it's set to show only threads from the last ten days, they may prove you aren't so superior at all

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Ming Im one of those who does not wish to see these nes's on the stories forum but have you considered a sub forum similar to the one at civfanatics attached to the civ3 stories section.

Although you say Apolyton is not a democracy would it not make sense to consider an option that would please all involved.

The one thing I see yourself and other mods on these forums get annoyed about is the mindless ranting that goes on in some places, but you will not see any of that here. This has so far been a reasonable debate and as a mod you shaould be prepared to take on board these opinions.

Is it not possible to have a sub forum ? or is this site not as sofisticated as fanatics. I know you go there I see your name on their members active quite often are you checking out the nes's ?
