Besides, they are only post counts? Who cares?

WW threads were moved due to multiple complaints by people that WW were unfairly elevating their post counts.

So one of the main reasons why they were moved was due to post counts. I'm fine with either making ALL posts count, or NO posts count, but making WW no count but "Penis" thread do is just really dumb.

GoldenEagle · 09-27-2006, 08:37 PM

Is anyone interested in moving to another sever? We would have more customization with important sutff like titles, home page, etc.

Barkeep49 · 09-27-2006, 08:58 PM

I like FOFC, frankly. I like the kind of people who are attracted to play the game. I like that we are exposed to a broad base of people regularly and as such are able to attract new players. I've played WW on other fourms (2 to be exact) and like it here best of all.

Abe Sargent · 09-27-2006, 09:08 PM

We should have the main WW thread here but individual dynasty threads by each player where they document thoughts, ideas and reactions, but return to the main thread here to post votes.

I am glad you people got moved to the fringes where you belong.

Didn't discover this thread until now.

Hey don't hate the drunk guy thread. That's my biggest contribution to FOFC!

I would be willing to bet you a pretty dollar we would have more sportsdigs in a week.

Ragone · 09-28-2006, 02:21 AM

well in that regard.. we also need a georgia football forum.. cause god knows i don't wanna see that topic in the general forum either

Bee · 09-28-2006, 10:17 AM

If someone starts a Vampire game or one of the other variants, does it go here or in the General Forum?

Thomkal · 09-28-2006, 11:12 AM

Guys,

I think you are missing what an opportunity this is for Werewolf players. When back in the General forum, we restricted ourselves to one game at a time, in part to appease those who didn't want to see Werewolf dominate the forum, much like Hattrick once did.

This gives us the opportunity to play more than one game at a time, clear up the mod backlist, experiment with different formats easier, etc. This move despite the post count loss should be seen as a blessing for the Werewolf community here.

hoopsguy · 09-28-2006, 11:28 AM

Thomkal, I think people have talked about doing exactly this in another thread.

There is a certain amount of angst that people want to get out about the post loss, and the associated indignity over every other post on every other topic counting but not these. But when that subsides I think/hope there will be a lot more energy going into figuring out how to make this new forum really work for us.

Thomkal · 09-28-2006, 11:37 AM

Yeah Hoops saw the other thread after posting here.

But felt I needed to make that point. Yeah for those who care about post counts, it sucks because that's really the only reason Werewolf was moved according to SkyDog. But the potential benefits far outweigh the negative at least in my opinion, and people should be excited about that and get over their anger to a decision that won't be changed.

Grammaticus · 09-28-2006, 11:45 AM

Well, I guess contribution can be valued in different ways by different people.

If Gamespy hosts for free based on the hit traffic which is good for their ad revenue, as SD indicated. And WW posts account for 1/7th or roughly 14.3% of all posts on FOFC as someone else stated. That would mean WW posters are probably hitting the board at a comparable rate, thus contributing to the board and maintaining free hosting.

Also, this is a board that evolved based on interest in a game, a text sim game. WW is a game that, not a text sim game, but a social interaction game. It is no surprise that people who hit a game related site are interested in playing a game. In many ways, playing a game such as WW is more in the spirit of a game related site than about 99% of the post topics out there.

Even for those who care little for WW, you should be able to understand the game and its participants are contributing to the site and FOFC community. Not only is it short sighted and rude to insult them, but those who use non-contribution as an argument are simply wrong.

I think this sums it up well.

Chubby · 09-28-2006, 12:06 PM

You guys have short memories.

Anything SD doesn't play is irrelevant and gets moved (hatrrick, WW).
Anything SD does play can stay in GD (georgia sports, polls)

Barkeep49 · 05-22-2008, 04:49 PM

A year and three quarters later, I'm proud of the fact that we're the only thing that wasn't killed by moving it to its own forum. I really think that on the whole it's been a net positive having our own forum, though being second class citizens does suck.

st.cronin · 05-22-2008, 04:52 PM

I agree, although I don't feel like a second class citizen.

RendeR · 05-22-2008, 05:25 PM

I just want our posts to count. I mean we're here, on FOFC, most of the time we're interating in much more than JUST the werewolf forum so why the hell do our posts NOT count?

Whose got the granny square up their butt that we shouldn't have our posts counted?? Damnit I DEMAND satisfaction.

How are you second class? Just because your "werewolf" posts don't count?

I view it more as SkyDog seems to tolerate us rather than appreciate us as part of the community. But I'm entirely willing to admit I'm wrong her.

Barkeep49 · 05-22-2008, 06:44 PM

How appropriate that the post I quoted had a blatantly obvious typo and so does the post itself.

they are the second class citicens not us!

vote fofc!

hoopsguy · 06-11-2008, 11:42 PM

So do people feel vindicated that WW posts count again with the move to Operation Sports?

Also, it is weird reading this again with new names and many posts from folks who aren't WW regulars these days.

Lathum · 06-11-2008, 11:47 PM

I'll read it again and tell you.

And I will only feel vindicated after my posts count retro activley

Neon_Chaos · 06-12-2008, 06:02 AM

*checks posts*

Neon_Chaos · 06-12-2008, 06:02 AM

Not bad. Around 500 or so posts.

claphamsa · 06-12-2008, 07:13 AM

bah, i liked haveing 0 posts! maybeill have t go to another part of the forum now

Alan T · 06-12-2008, 07:51 AM

Posts counting was never a huge deal to me, so still not a big deal to me that they count again. Looking back, my only concern was that we'd have problems bringing in new players and eventually the games would die due to lack of new blood.

In retrospect, I think the seperate forum has been pretty good for us in alot of cases, and we have been able to continue to bring in new blood still.

claphamsa · 06-12-2008, 08:05 AM

BLOOD BLOOD BLaaaaa

DaddyTorgo · 06-12-2008, 09:29 AM

bawhhahahaha

blood for me to eat!!!

Racer · 06-12-2008, 09:37 AM

I think I started this past game with under 300 posts.

claphamsa · 06-12-2008, 09:40 AM

uve made 92 posts

SnDvls · 06-16-2008, 08:53 AM

so did they retroactive the posts? not that it really matters

hoopsguy · 06-16-2008, 09:00 AM

Nah, otherwise you would have seen a spike of thousands of posts for a bunch of people.

I think I was above 4K when the posts were moved to the separate forum.

Barkeep49 · 06-16-2008, 09:04 AM

Yeah Hoopsguy has over 7k worth of posts that haven't retroactively counted.

hoopsguy · 06-16-2008, 09:09 AM

Who has the most? Me? Lathum? Alan? I didn't realize that you were able to see the specifics on that stuff.

Grammaticus · 06-16-2008, 09:09 AM

Sweet posts count again. WW Power!

Of the people I checked you had the most, followed by Blade.

Alan T · 06-16-2008, 07:54 PM

You can check fairly easily by doing an advanced search for posts from a user from a week ago and earlier probably.

Alan T · 06-16-2008, 07:59 PM

For me I ended up with 7642 posts in this forum that didn't count. Blade 6837, Lathum 6224, Hoopsguy 8216, Barkeep 6719

hoopsguy · 06-16-2008, 08:14 PM

Junkies, all of us.

path12 · 06-16-2008, 08:17 PM

Wow. 5,484. Wouldn't have guessed it.

claphamsa · 06-16-2008, 08:19 PM

how many for me

500?

I'd like to jump into a game, it is just difficult to get online for this at work. So hard to catch up at night. As much as I want to play, it is just a time thing. I just got a laptop, so that might help some.

Have you guys gotten any new players on the new site?

hoopsguy · 06-16-2008, 09:08 PM

New players, but I don't think they are from Operation Sports.
