AshMat Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 It was serious, the typical pot smoking troubled black teen living in London.
conzer16 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 We were told the MPoTD thread was coming back. Were we lied to?
Tellyn Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Most of the new threads have branched out to cover most of the MPOTD aspects. It'd still be nice to get it back.

I'm not disputing that at all, it's just the moderating team told us when they were asked that it was coming back. My question is - were we lied to?
Eddage Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Maybe they originally planned to bring it back but since all these new threads starting appearing they realised it may not be in the best interests of the forum? No need to presume they do everything for shits and giggles at our expense!
AshMat Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 They said they would, but i think they decided now that the forum's better without it (i don't disagree anyway, we get much more threads, and more interesting threads popping up).
Supergrunch Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Maybe they originally planned to bring it back but since all these new threads starting appearing they realised it may not be in the best interests of the forum? No need to presume they do everything for shits and giggles at our expense! Yeah, that's the reason why. When we said it was coming back, we were sure that it would be - it was only once it had been gone for a while that some staff changed their minds. So we're not lying to you, quite the opposite - you were only told it was coming back because we were being honest. There's still been no final decision, but it's looking less and less like it'll be coming back, and I can see why many staff members like the forum the way it is now. I'd still like it to return, but the current state of general chit-chat suggests that it's not nearly as important to the forum as I thought it was.
Emasher Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I think the problem with it was the Name translates to new members who ignore the rules "Post your spam here". The new threads that take its place are slightly more descriptive in their titles as to what should be posted in them.
James_banned Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 I have a couple of questions: 1) Whats with GLA and stuff like that in peoples sigs? and 2) Is this forum always as crazy as it seems from my first few days here?
Marshmellow Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 MPT is (probably) gone forever.I mean, look at gen chit chat now. Its far more vibrant, alot more discussion going on and alot more threads with specific topics. It would be nice if you could bring it back. Since you did say it would be back... At least bring it back with a lock on it. The MPT was like the backbone of N-E for the active members, you can't just take it away and keep it for yourselves. For James: 1. Just people's clans/groups stuff. 2. No, its been a bad week(s).
The fish Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 *sigh* another one bites the dust. UK this time, seems hes THE GANONDORF, who would have thought it? Under my nose the whole time too. That is awesome, and is one hell of a plot twist. I have had my suspicions (identical reaction to my views on religion, ironically), but was never quite sure... I have a couple of questions: 1) Whats with GLA and stuff like that in peoples sigs? and 2) Is this forum always as crazy as it seems from my first few days here? 1)If you are either gay, or just a pro-gay equality liberal (like myself), PM me and you can join. 2)It *should* settle down, 4 people got banned today.
Supergrunch Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 That is awesome, and is one hell of a plot twist.I have had my suspicions (identical reaction to my views on religion, ironically), but was never quite sure... Have a look at the meat thread if you want to catch up on more drama...
Daft Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 2)It *should* settle down, 4 people got banned today. 4? Today??
Ashley Posted October 25, 2007 Author Posted October 25, 2007 I'm not disputing that at all, it's just the moderating team told us when they were asked that it was coming back. My question is - were we lied to? No. That was initially the plan but the forum is blossoming without it. Personally I'd say we'll give it a bit longer, and review the situation and then put it to the vote. But if it were to come back it would be more heavily moderated (ie the no spam policy would be more enforced)

mcj metroid Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 did you disable to abilty to resgister? A friend of mine wants to join but sayd it's disabled is this true?
Emasher Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Yes its true at the moment. Same problem here.
ShadowV7 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 What's happening with the N-Europe quiz? Will it ever get finished
Emasher Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 And what about Wifi nights, are they still being worked on?
Guest Stefkov Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 What's happening with the N-Europe quiz? Will it ever get finished Good thinking Sherlock. I also wonder about this.
Shorty Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 What's wifi nights? Hmm the quiz, well it was my little baby. Perhaps I shall ressurect it from the graveyard soon watch this space. Well not this space. General Chit-chat. as long as Mr_Odwin doesn't infract me for bumping it
Tellyn Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Wi-Fi Nights was staff member Markcullinane's idea, it's on hold at the moment.
Ashley Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 as long as Mr_Odwin doesn't infract me for bumping it Just delete lots of threads so the quiz is on the first page again.
