There players can post News, Reviews etc.

Hope to see some life there asap

bef · #2 11-13-2004, 12:28 AM

oops, spoke too soon.. still isn't working 100%. Not even I, the Mod, can post

xAndrewx · #3 11-13-2004, 12:38 AM

I really don't like this idea, I mean it's nothing interesting. If we want information on the server we goto there website... No offence man, But this is how I see it..

bef · #4 11-13-2004, 01:05 AM

news not only on servers, provided by the staff.. news on the servers, provided by the players.

Kaimetsu · #5 11-13-2004, 01:14 AM

Feel free to make liberal use of my gigantic rolleyes smilies here.

Slash-P2P · #8 11-13-2004, 01:41 AM

Isnt this the same thing?

Crono · #9 11-13-2004, 02:30 AM

News can be things like events that are happening on different playerworlds, underdawg player rumors, etc I guess

bef · #10 11-13-2004, 02:33 AM

Gerami is right, any news that you feel is important.

I'm the moderator for two reasons.
1) I run Graal News
2) I asked?

Slash-P2P · #11 11-13-2004, 03:31 AM

People already post this kind of stuff in the Classic/Playerworlds Main Forum. Another one is just plain stupid.

bef · #12 11-13-2004, 09:54 AM

Why? it gives a specific place for news to be posted... Whats to say that all news is Classic/Playerworld related?

xAndrewx · #13 11-13-2004, 10:01 AM

i ask to be moderator of g3d than.

godluck

Well, this will link to the website I believe

bef · #16 11-13-2004, 12:47 PM

Yes that is the likely concept Spark

Crono · #17 11-13-2004, 01:12 PM

I like the idea of having a new section. Graal's official one is horrible and the playerworld based ones are full of bs propaganda from each playerworld staff and nothing more. It's good to have a news thing going on, it could have different things like a real news paper.

For example

A section for the normal big playerworld news, a section for players to tell bef what they have up for trade/sale/buying on different servers (in America I think it's called hte classified?), clothing trends for servers, fun polls, homemade reviews for random playerworlds, interviews, etc.

I like the idea.

bef · #18 11-14-2004, 05:13 AM

Yeah we had the news paper idea, unfortunately people tend to idle on projects and yeah Im not a great dev. myself

zell12 · #19 11-14-2004, 05:52 AM

This is a nice thing I think. I don't know why you are all upset. Mabey you envy Bef for getting some kinda modship?

xAndrewx · #20 11-14-2004, 10:17 AM

If a server has a website or Forum, Isn't that where you post updates? Or in the npc server when you log on? How many people averagly use the graal2k1 forums daily? max 50-75?

Lance · #21 11-14-2004, 11:53 AM

Sigh.

Yeah, think about my history a little and you might realise how stupid an assertion that is.

This whole thing is going to be another colossal failure. The writers don't know how to write, and they don't have anything interesting to write about. Who the heck would bother reading it?

Crono · #24 11-14-2004, 03:24 PM

I would be reading it, and Bef you just gotta find some pretty gats and release a weeky newspaper XD

Darlene159 · #25 11-14-2004, 03:48 PM

I think this might be a good idea...would be nice to see input about the playerworlds from the players as long as it isn't all "so and so sucks" or whatever. Hopefully, if people dislike a playerworld, they will state why in a legible manner.

Those of you who are saying it will fail, how about you wait until it has been up for awhile before you say that? Maybe you will be suprised...

Same thing goes for when you say "so and so rocks"

Look, I don't have anything against an organised, official news system, but it has to be done properly. The reason they've failed so often before is that nobody's willing to put anything into it

Hell I'd be willing to type an article.

As long as the news isn't filtered by graal online (or censored) i'm fine with it. Once they start censoring, I'll go mad.

I agree with that.

Just because others have failed, doesn't mean someone cannot do it.
All I am saying is that you cant deem something a failure before it even gets started. Give it a chance first.

Agreed...

I personally wont read a forum that's in a semi-hidden category =x... Not like I'll volenteer for it, but I didn't even know there was a Graal News part on these forums until this thread arose o.o and I've been here since mid '01

Another part is that I've been on the Graal New's website. Nothing really impressive =x. They've had one full server review, everything else is just 'We got a new member' or 'This server looks great' and it ends on that =x.

Which brings another point. Why does there need to be a forum for Graal News when they have a fully-functional site?

Graal News has great potential... yes. But their bad taste in recruitment, opinionating things, and posting illrevelent news will ultimately destroy it if nothing is changed.

I personally would like to see Graal News succeed though. I think it's a rather cool idea. It'll be good when they get at least one per server. Then maybe have roleplaying reps from 2k2, 2k1(hopefully), and G3D or something. I also wanna see interviews and such.

Crono · #31 11-14-2004, 04:17 PM

Graal Forum should just issue a weekly .png newspaper or some kind of webpage where you can turn the page

protagonist · #32 11-14-2004, 04:53 PM

I would think it was a good idea, were I not waiting for them to install VIP forums.

Splke · #33 11-14-2004, 06:02 PM

I think it's an okay idea, but like many of the other's, I will scoff and await it's inevitable and quick fall.

I've visited the site, it was kindof intresting, I almost wanted to sign onto the server and check it out... hint almost.

We'll see, I do suppose.

Brad · #34 11-14-2004, 06:42 PM

can i b a mod plz

bef · #35 11-15-2004, 09:49 AM

Haha @ Brad, you have to be on two knees and stuff yeah?

Should work now

Loriel · #38 11-17-2004, 12:45 AM

You seriously need to stop answering to the last post in a thread, and instead answer to the one that actually holds the text you are referring to.

Admins · #39 11-17-2004, 12:54 AM

And can you stop spamming ?
I didn't want to reply to any certain post, it's not my fault that the threaded post view is messing it up

Loriel · #40 11-17-2004, 12:59 AM

Then you should not have clicked the Reply button next to any certain post.

It is all your fault.
