[QUOTE=maxumym;48094273]I remember Altimor who straight up numbered his alts Altimor1,2,and I remember they went up to at least 13[/QUOTE]
Holy shit, I forgot about Altimor. We used to be friends on steam and talked often, mostly because he would say the most outlandish stuff sometimes. Like he truly believed that he was being wronged by most of the people in his life because they were 'Ageist' against him.
[editline]fake edit, thread too fast[/editline]
I hope he's doing alright. I remember talking to him for quite a while about how he learned the language from Avatar for absolutely no reason.
I have to agree with what Rusty said.
No intake of new gold members, you're just going to have the same people flocking into GMF. It's not like there's a requirement for gold members to post in GMF either, so it'll revert right back into what it was. If gold members already found places they prefer to frequent, then why would they want to post in GMF of all places?
TBH "cleaning up" GMF will only continue to remove activity from it while it only averages like 10-20 users viewing at a given time? From what I've read GMF is still the same shithole clique area that it's always been. There's only two ways to fix GMf from the circlejerk it is:
1. Outright remove it. The only people posting there will continue to be the same people who have always frequently posted there, and it will continue to remain hostile to the people who don't "fit right in."
2. Revive the ability to become a gold member through some type of requirement. As has been said, many people posting in the GMF have become inactive, banned, or just started posting elsewhere. At this rate it'll become just as inactive as Gold's Gaming and Gold's Workshop was.
I honestly haven't noticed a change at all. The only semi-active thread there has practically turned into a slightly more enforced, regulated, OIFY with sarcastic "boy we sure are cleaning up", etc. comments.
[QUOTE=Orkel;48094006]I believe it would keep the GMF as a special gold-only forum but it would have an effect on the posting quality as they'd know anyone can see what they're cooking in there. Less witch hunting and talking behind backs.[/QUOTE]
Or you could just deal with the people being dicks instead of changing the entire way the forum is?? When did we become powerless against assholes lmao. I like the gmf being a private forum, it's cool having projects going in there that only a select few can see. Sort out the posters, not the forum.
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;48093788]I think people should figure out what type of threads will get some activity going on there[/QUOTE]
!!
I've been here since '06 and have missed like everything FP related.
But the one thing I wouldn't miss, is the GMF.
[editline]1st July 2015[/editline]
Nothing worth reading in the GMF IMO.
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;48094489]!![/QUOTE]
The problem is, outside of the projects Postal mentioned, there's not really anything unique to GMF.
[QUOTE=WitheredGryphon;48094520]The problem is, outside of the projects Postal mentioned, there's not really anything unique to GMF.[/QUOTE]
then make it unique, it's in gold's hands, how's that hard to understand people
[QUOTE=WitheredGryphon;48094520]The problem is, outside of the projects Postal mentioned, there's not really anything unique to GMF.[/QUOTE]
other than the things that make it different it's no different than the things that would be the same if they weren't different
Deleting GMF is cowards way out, and would be an unacceptable loss to anyone taking advantage of it that had nothing to do with shitting it up. It's great, don't fuck it.
All attempts to clean it up previously were half measures undermined by the same group from forever ago.
Since that specific group is effectively dead, no more half measures.
[QUOTE=Gwoodman;48094524]then make it unique, it's in gold's hands, how's that hard to understand people[/QUOTE]
"I don't know how you should do it, but you should do it anyway." It's hard to understand because, as I said below, the threads in there would receive no activity outside of the one single thread in there that maintains some semblance of activity.
There'd have to be something big to draw back activity into GMF and tbh there's not any incentive for me to go post in an inactive subforum and wait days for a response when I can post elsewhere and get a response in less than an hour.
[QUOTE=teh pirate;48094530]other than the things that make it different it's no different than the things that would be the same if they weren't different[/QUOTE]
Then what's the point in being active in the GMF as opposed to other threads with far more activity than the GMF?
[QUOTE=Sgt. Khorn;48094492]Nothing worth reading in the GMF IMO.[/QUOTE]
I post in the GMF i take offense to this
[QUOTE=TrafficMan;48094600]I post in the GMF i take offense to this[/QUOTE]
I thought the GMF wasn't meant to be taken seriously.
It's why I don't bother with it.
[QUOTE=Sgt. Khorn;48094619]I thought the GMF wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

the gmf is what you make of it. most people that post there just post to hang out/chat or discuss things. it's supposed to be a more laidback experience for the most part but some of the rules became a little too lax and mods have started to fix that in some ways recently
[QUOTE=Sgt. Khorn;48094619]I thought the GMF wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

Exactly. Since it's not taken seriously, I don't take it seriously. I can get my fill of ironic shitposting on other sites.

why go to a country club to play golf when putt putt has more people
GMF is a forum where there is meant to be some kind of standard for posters (gold members), if that standard is brought back into force it'll be worth posting there again because you know there will be a smaller percentage of retards shitting on everything
unfortunately for a while it's been the other way around, hence this effort to change it

so what's the plan actually
[QUOTE=teh pirate;48094680]why go to a country club to play golf when putt putt has more people
[/QUOTE]
Because GMF isn't comparable in quality to a country club :v:. The only reason GMF was (and still is) moderately active, imo, was because of the less than serious standards
We could always turn on smartness and auto ban back in the GMF, along with ways to get gold so more can join.
It'd clean itself out every few years.

yeah i agree. how the fuck does dave chappelle dare say "nigga" and generalize blacks, native americans and white people?

I don't understand how you can't tell that it's an obvious joke and clearly not him declaring that he's racist.
Speaking of bullying leaking out from the GMF, what the fuck happened to this thread and why did no one else deal with it?

BDA literally makes it okay for a mod to stir up shit and then waves of golds follow after him.
i didnt compare myself to him at all. im drawing an analogy. you seem to be so fucking dense you cant comprehend a joke.
its from a fucking blaxploitation movie. a movie where there are black people working in that police station, and the fat white guy is a bumbling retard. but hey no im apparently racist because i liked that specific moment in the movie. it was absurd and came outta nowhere.
[QUOTE=Winner;48094790]wow did you seriously just compare yourself to dave chapelle lmao
here's a handly list
- [I]big[/I] difference between using that as a pronoun and how it's presented in your avatar
- dave chappelle is a comedian, you're some guy on an internet forum - it's possible to make it funny and not be black (hello louis ck??) but you're def not doing it
- [I]dave chappelle is black[/I] (take notes)[/QUOTE]
what are you doing tbh
