new sub-forum: Old MP stuff

cuz there to much old mp versions & some other MP stuff

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=2

Anyone, reply!

Old topics are locked and used for reference... no point in moving them to another new place.

Yeah thats a good idea I'd make it an Admin Mod forum so only they can announce things as well coz ya shouldnt have to sift through to get to the news

Uhmm... when the board first opened it was decided members could post replies, i dunno if thats a good idea or not.

And they already is an forum staff forum, so moving them old threads to there wouldnt be a problem.

I agree with Johnny, it would be useless to move old threads to a subforum as old threads are in the last pages... and members SHOULD be able to reply, just as it is now.

BTW can only admins post there or mods too?

Would it be possible to have a forum for only higher members where we can discuss things without silly messing up our convos

At the end of old topics it has stuff like "find the new version here!" which where mostly posted by patchou... Be sure of it, the only active topics are the relevant ones.

It would never last,

actually, alot of modding would be done in there, which is not a bad thing


So I say try it, maybe you have to have a certain amount of posts to get there??

as a reward for logn time users, but then pure spammers can get there

I've thought about that... an "intellegent discussion" forum where there wouldn't be threads like "hi pplz i'm new here" and "ne hot gurlz wanna chat?"

What do other people think?

---

What about a cut off of 1000 posts?

and super mods and admin


.me has done way over 1000, probably closer to 2000 posts, but I have been effected quite badly from old threads being deleted



And

Isn't it


Don't try and bend the spoon, but simply realise the spoon isn't there??


* Muss can't remember it exactly word for word

I aint a post whore I just have nothing better to do

I like these boards but it gets frustrating sometimes but I think if people had a better understanding of had a private forum something good would come out of it pretty quickly

I was thinking just add a new usergroup that has access to the "secret" forum, then the admin () and maybe other members decide who should be allowed in...

Adding something that checks post counts wouldn't be worth the effort, IMO...

So really it's just a feature built into the board then isnt it?

I also think it would be a cool idea not to keep it secret coz good things could come out of the threads.  As members that will beb using it will have a greater understanding of

A secret one that only certain peopel decide who can get in


I like it


As long as forum staff are garunteed enterance

Of course... admins and mods would get in...

LOL why would that be

As I'm in, I like the idea ( I know what I said on the the other forum )

everyone should be able to read it. but only *good* people should be able to post in it.. and spamming would cause you not to be able of posting in it, which would say: "thick finger" to spammers.

I think Admin's & mods would have to select the people, and trow m out again..

I agree, it should be public, but only those "better" () members could post in it.

But better in what sense technically like Dane, user friendly like Koola Blue, general helpers and discussionists (me gfd and raddie)  Or a entire range accross the spectrum of users

yeah... admins/mods should decide

YAY

* Chrono decides

Well, I think that we all know who will be in... we know each other very well, dont we ?

It would be a select group

People would want Dane in


* Muss thinks DZ should just hurry up and make the board, then decide on how to pick members of that board


exclude patchou?

maybe the url could be hidden real deep in the msgplus documentation, so -happy newbies have no hope of finding it
mods/admins/whateva would still have to moderate the membeship though.  Maybe a user rating limit?  I know people could rate themselves but its an extra element to stop flooding mods with membership requests

I'm not really sure about this special forum... I might not make it... blah

* Guido thinks we need a poll

Muss/Chrono would edit the poll...

I would add extra bits in the poll, not change the results though


that's if I was to edit the poll



Keeping the URl a secret wouldn't be a problem, cos users would have to be 'allowed' in there, so only their specific usernames can get in

Well if you can't trust the mods who can you trust

I'm still quite keen on the idea and ensuring it's publically readable is a really good idea.  That way people like myself can read the intelligent discussion coz I wouldnt get in anyways

Sorry about the intrusion here... a new subforum readable by all guests and posteable only by select people... hmmm... what would be that Forum's goal? Intelligent discussion? About what? Why?

Who will be able to post there? Shurely the top spammers will

THe top spammers wouldn't be allowed in there


that is what it is trying to cut down on


So we ain't bothered by spam


Who said guests could see in there


I thought it would be the people who post, could see, everyone else didn't knwo abotu it

It's ment for intelligent, real discussion between 'top-members' then, guest and members who aint (yet) a 'top-member' could look at it (if they want) and follow these interesting discussions..

Intelligent discussions deserve to be watched.

IMHO it should be viewable by other members (not by guests, though)

Top spammer, ME?, my ass!

Whooops, I did it again

Nah, but even if the forum is here and I'm excluded (prolly probably yes) then I'm in favor of the idea. Sounds good.

Guests dont come into here to see if there is a secret forum...

Hee hee I still aint found it anyone mind sharing it with me

Anyone know what Kiddie Corral is?

On "General Mayhem" if you've been pissing the admins or mods off, your "banned" from the original forum, and when you go to the forums you're in Kiddie Corral [Note: you don't see the colours unless your IP is banned to there]..theres crappy baby music playing and everythign is kiddie colour, people are usually sent to there for a week, until they grow up, highly amusing.

Hee hee sounds cool WDZ make me one
