Well, I've been here a year now and I think it's time I voiced some of my opinions about this forum. Most are good. The people here are brilliant and great fun to talk to. The boards are well designed and easy to navigate. But there are some things that I can find faults in.
1: The Mods
Surprise, surprise. A gripe about the mods. But I think this is justified. Currently the active mods are SJ, Daveshn, DC, Chaoman and to a lesser extent Rick. (He only posts every couple of months) Now I know that some of the mods may be absent due to end of year exams or the like, but others are way more inactive. Yes, I'm talking about RAZEK and bigbboy. They have not been active in near eleven months and one and half years, respectivly. I think it is pretty clear that they have moved on and I think their posts should be replaced, either by another mod or someone else. Now I know that we have had no massive case of trolls in RAZEKs and bigbboys sections but if there was ever one I think it would be better if there was someone who could deal with the problem there and then.
2:Sticky topics
Some forums are cluttered with them. Seriously. Most of them are not even uselful anymore. To go over ones that I think are not needed forum by forum:
General Discussion:
Nekocon- It's a topic for a convention that took place in 2008. Why is it still there?
Pokemon-X discussion:
Comic progression- The calender has not been updated since October 2009. If Recon has forgotten about it well so should we.
Gaming discussion:
Mario-Kart races- Does anyone play that game anymore?
Animal Crossing Adventures- See comment for Mario-Kart races.
Friend Codes (Wii and DS)/D/P Friend codes- I just think these two topic could be merged. Better yet a new topic should be created, one that caters for every console. (Xbox gamertags, PSN names, wii/DS codes ect..)
3: The RPG forum
Now I know this has been suggested umpteen times before but I think it should go. The RPG is long dead and there is no signs of it coming back. All it is is troll bait.
Now I know that most of these opinions are going to be forgotten/ignored but I just wanted to get them out in the open. I'm not trying to start a flame war between the older members and the new members. If the older members don't want there to be too much change that is fine. I'm just voicing my opinion. Agree, disagree, it's your choice.
