DEBATE

not THAT simple.....lol, but simpler than it is now especially when someone keeps adding more and more discussions when most people aren't even on here yet.....hehehe

but how many topics are you looking at? I'm a simple kind of guy, and I know I'd try to view all of the topics, but realistically, I know I'd just stay in one all the time!

I think that dl did this because we were spamming up the regular board with chatting since most people couldn't even get on in the official guild chatroom. Now, I don't know that for sure, it's just a guess.

I don't think that's what it was for. I think he likes the organizing of it, and well it's dl, he likes his new stuff, we all know that. I don't think anyone is spamming, since we put some new rules in a little while ago, it's been quite nice on the boards!!

I agree kris. I think this will be so much better. I keep getting neopets is down for maintenance or my neomail isn't working right. We won't have that problem here. Also, we get our active members to sign up on here and we can keep better track of it all. We've got plenty of spam monitors to take care of specific areas here, and we've got everything all rolled into one.

Yea that's another thing... when Neo is down this should still be up but more importantly this will come in most handy for chit chat and getting to know other members.

[glow=black,2,300] I've been on boards like these before, so it's not really all that confusing, to me at least. It does help with all out organization, but it is going to be easy for certain posts to be overlooked...and i'm sure there will still be posts ending up in the wrong ones from confusion on topics. The only real problem i can think of though is that eventually this will cause the neopets guild board to go dead, and the new members will end up with no one on it to welcome them and tell them to come here. Unless of course you have someone relay posting on a regular basis, so that there is always a post at the top of the other board to tell the new members to come here. [/glow]

The point is to get everyone over here so that the other boards WILL die. There will be a single post telling members to join these boards so that they know where to come to chat. The goal is to get everyone to come over to these boards.

One more thing, is that it's going to be hard to read all of the messages, because we'll have to jump back and forth between subjects, and it's hard to have a convo, in 5 different subjects at once!

Trust me its TREMENDOUSLY easier to carry five conversations in five separate threads than to try and sort them out in one huge guild message board...

[dlfreak]

Another advantage... you can see if anyone is actually here! Just go to the HOME page of the message boards and at the bottom of the page it'll tell you who is here at the moment and you can just PM (Personal Message) that person!

[cherry1217]

it looks like this will be fun!! mc...no worries about the quests, etc. remember there's the guild contact page and i know i'm always on or someone is to help you! the more and more you get used to it, the more you'll love it!!

[dlfreak]

Yea I added game help and avatar boards here to make things easier to find and less likely to be overlooked:)

Hey guys
so I'm still not totally sure that I like this but I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Like I can see it's advantages but I also agree with some of the stuff mcalnan is saying. I will however give it time and maybe once I figure everything out here I will like it so more

Like what? What has he said that I haven't addressed?

[wuzzzzzzup88]

ahh... not that you haven't addressed them dl but I still have my doubts.. starting to figure this out more and I am starting to like it

[mcalnan]

dlfreak said:

Yeah, trust me guys! I frequent a Disneyland and a few Neopets boards just like this one and its super convenient!

well, I will give credit to you guys, I am starting to like it more, as I use it more, it's just, well knew I guess, so It'll take a lot of convincing!

[dlfreak]

Yeah... I think that was everyone's fear with it... it's NEW. Oh no not something new! But it's a good new, I think you guys will like it and in a few weeks you'll wonder how we ever got by without these boards... I hope!

[kalilza]

I used to go onto a riddle forum just like this one, was addicted to it for a couple of years, in fact, one of the girls in the forum was the person who showd me neopets, and got me started! hehe, I loved it.
it may take a little time getting used to it all, but after a while you will all come to love it. it may seem a little werid now, it even does for me, but that will change

I agree! I think this board is better, you've got everything all at one spot! Neomail messes up all the time and you can't neomail someone about something you want from their discount shop, ect. With this you can just send a privat message

[glow=brown,2,300] in a way i agree with you but i think that it will be a lot of trouble to go back and forth because as u know if someone wants to join a guild in the faerie clouds and they see this one then its going to cause a lot of confusion to the newbies because they might think we are using both boards and to the people with the jobs such as welcomers like me might not know which board to welcome on because a lot of people still use the other board and when they first join they are most likely going to post on that board so therefore that part is confusing also. Another reason is that it might take a while before all 1500 members come to this message board .... well thats my opinion [/glow]

[mcalnan]

well dl, I think that I must admit, I have started to taking a liking to this!

[mcalnan]

oh, but just a question, uh can we still have like the message board on the guild, just to keep tradition!

[dlfreak]

The old guild message boards should be used only to talk to newbies and tell them about the guild. Everythign else should post here. I suppose a message from time to time isn't bad but please keep conversations here:)

[LieveLassie]

Well I'm a newby and the message to come here came trough loud and clears.
I joined just before that message apeared, but if it had been there I would have checked this page out instead of the other board, and I would have joined even more willing. This set-up is less confusing for me

[dlfreak]

Welcome to our guild and our new message boards!

[kalilza]

but dl, what about random giveaways, this makes it really hard for those of us who used the guild message board to decide who to give our prize to.........
