Thread: How do WE make these forums into a COMMUNITY?

    Text How do WE make these forums into a COMMUNITY?

    Anyone who pays attention for more than 5 minutes can see these forums do not match up with other forums. There is a sincere lack of community here.

    Every forum I have ever participated in has had its share of negative posters but the community was always strong and colorful. Here, we have plenty of negative posters and an obvious divide between mods and posters.

    I have a few million ideas on how to make these forums better, but I'd like for those of you who have been more involved to either tell me my views are wrong or suggest ways to improve these forums.

    Remember, forums are about community and are not just a place to rant about a miserable gaming experience.

    Go for it.

    I'd be interested to follow this. As I keep repeating, this is a first experience for me. So I can't compare.

    Shouldn't this be in the "Forum Suggestion Box" Turk? Mind you, it wouldn't get much attention there...

    Community foundation requires community involvement.

    Edit - Let me put it another way. At this point, I don't believe the Evony team people want a community. These forums are proof enough for me. That stated, I'd like to believe the people behind the usernames might think differently.

    we mods try our best... we just get pounced on alot... i was a member of this community a long time for i even considered applying to be a mod. as soon as i got mod status , felt like a shiny target had been painted on my head...

    the thing alot of people also dont realise is that forums mods realllllly cant do anything about anything to do with in-game issues, such as medal drops etc.

    once people learn to chill out and stop the complaining and flaming of each other we will be fine

    Sorry, mate. But with all the new players that Evony gets here, some will discover the forum. And the first people they go for are moderators.

    You're a hypocrite, Turk. You go spamming and/or flaming then you make a thread complaining about the state of the forums when things don't go how you want them in a certain thread. Sinn Fein is not a terrorist organization, by the way.

    I agree, for someone who is trying to make the forums a community, you spam and troll quite a bit.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    That is the life of a mod. I don't have many expectations for mods. I think you all should join in on some healthy fun instead of beating down on posters who do (not you personally, Bickyz). Maybe that is asking too much.
