Au revoir
This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

sometimes a problem does lie within a single forum. i've seen a site go completely to rubble because absolutely nobody posted in any other forum but the "off topic" forum. people saw it as their chance to go on a raging spamfest, including one person who just kept ip spoofing to make new accounts when he got banned, which is just horrid. the site went copletely downward at a 90 degree andle, and kept speeding on down until the first hurricane in florida (that is where the server was) and the thing has never been up since. they just gave up on it, the only people who knew about it (and it was still a long time until even tehy found out) were the moderators. i only know this because i am friends with several of those moderators. they were conversing on getting rid of the off topic forum (for awhile at least)
if it happens here, it will be fine with me. as i said before, it doesn't matter to me what forums are here, as long as there ARE forums and there IS a site. i will be here.
gowser, are you referring to deviant? i kinda like deviant...reminds me of me...back in the day....

I don't think there are any problems here; just a kind of dip in serious posts.
What's funny is that the same people who are b*tching about the lack of serious posts and the huge amount of spam are the same people who are spamming my meaning of life thread, which I'd prefer not die yet...

So long Esquilax. Sad to see you hanging up the rabbit ears.
I'd like to take a moment to ask, what exactly are the criteria for moderatership? Are they simply appointed, or is their a good deal of discussion and interveiw behind it? I suppose what I'm asking is how you choose whom amongst the masses is worthy to take on the duties of a moderator. I'm not opposed to the number of mods, after all as site admins its ultimately Eraser and bp's decision, but perhaps there could be public discussion as to whom is actually chosen. Perhaps there could be a public 'confirmation hearing' as there is for presidential cabinet nominees, or a poll to gather public opinion as to which 'nominee' could be chosen. Just an idea.
As to making people feel more comfortable here, I think it would be helpful to have what goes on 'behind the scenes' in moderator land publicized a bit more. Thoreau said that ''people must have some complucated machinery or otherm and hear its din to satisfy that idea of government which they have." In short (i think), it helps to hear what is going on, to know that progress, is actually being made it the background IMHO.

Hmmm.... there is no real way to salvage TLR, not to its former glory. The lack of a new game is what has been the demise of the site, a lack of topics on a game that is fresh and new, or games which are similar.
im sorry Final, but thats very similar to saying, "the majority of crimes are perpatrated by young people. Lets just lock up all young people and torture them till they are productive members of society." Its a very ignorant and a perfect example of western society's desire for a "quick fix" solution.
Just because you are content vamp679, does not mean that everyone else is. normally, if you had of said that around me in real life, i would have slapped you. You're basically trying to jam your beliefs down other's throats, believing that whatever you feel, everyone else should feel. its like telling a dog not to bark, completely against the grain.
I must admit the majority of what im saying is just a rehash of what others have said, and since my other message was deleted, then im just gonna have to post it here.
I'm leaving OT, and as soon as i finish the fan-fic/RPG thing im writing, im ****ing off from TLR all together. if it ever returns to its former self, i may begin to lurk again. maybe...

Ease up Love Shark, after all, he has just read everyone elses opinions about the site, and then stated his own - which he is entitled to do.....which you are having a go at him for.
Its great to see a thread can be critical and constructive without resorting to flames and bashes. Please respect each others stated views, regardless of whether you disagree or agree with them.
