Certain Forums And Their Uses

****************************************************************************************************************

Okay, I know that the forum uses are listed on the "All forums" page, but I decided to go into more detail here, as they are a bit vague. Newbies to the forum, take note, these are only a FEW Forums, most are self-evident :

FREELANCER DISCUSSION

This forum is basically about general stuff, and you can post questions here and talk about Freelancer, ask questions etc. However, you ARE NOT allowed spoilers in this forum, as most pre-campaigners will be camping here for general info. This is a good general place to look for opinions on the game, as well as general info that may be useful in your game.

A good example of a general discussion question is shown here. Note that is asking a question with no big spoilers, and he is just asking peoples opinions, and he has recieved civil replies in return.

Questions NOT appreciated :

1) What is the best ship ?
2) What is the best weapon loadout ?
3) Where is the Hispania ?
4) Why can't I by a paralyzer missile launcher when there is ammo in Wreck X ?

FREELANCER MULTIPLAYER FORUM

This is where to ask about multiplayer servers and the multiplayer game in general , and so on. A good example of a multiplayer question can be found here.

FREELANCER SPOILER FORUM

Okay, this is where people get mixed up. Spoilers are things like Nomads ,
The Order and The Hispania and so on. This forum is the ONLY one which allows spoilers to be present. Here, you can ask about things like the Nomads and so on, without mods locking your thread instantly.

A good spoiler question is here. This is a classic example of a spoiler forum question.

Questions NOT appreciated:

1) Is there going to be Freelancer 2 / Expansion ?
2) What is the point of the unknown systems ?
3) I found the monkey planet, what purpose does it serve ?
4) General Comparasions with other space-games.

****************************************************************************************************************

Hope this cleared up some confusion

Mind if I butt in?

OFF-TOPIC FORUM

This is were the ex-lancers hang out to generally chat about anything that comes around, although FLs and SLs still are welcome but don't usually drift away from the FL only forums.

Alot of the time people just have a laugh, accounce stuff and try to look smart trying to talk about time travel.

Stuff NOT appreciated:

1) S-p-a-m (oh, I wonder what that is?)
2) Advertising
3) Nickless (because he is spam)
4) The dicussion of X2

@Neo_Kuja

You mentioned the Nomads !!

Therefore, shouldn't this post be in the spoiler forum and not discussion !!?!

CupidStunt, you mentioned (Da-Dum) The Nomads Too !!!
No, really, this is a compilation post, and since most newbies come here, it makes sense to put it where they usually come first, so they can see it, which is here in the Discussion forum usually. I haven't gone into detail about the nomads, so I (personally) think's it's okay to mention it here, under these special circumstances.

Signature signature signature Blaze

Uncheck "show signature" box after you post once per thread.

This is fast becoming a candidate for off-topic forum.

Sorry
I think this was put in FL discussion because newbies don't go to anything but this forum.

Post Mon Apr 19, 2004 11:18 pm

Yes, that is correct.

You see Stinger, the majority of newbies make this their first stop on their migration to regular status. Putting it in the off-topic forum would be useless, as that is where *regulars* end up, not newbies. I hope there was no misunderstanding, I thought I clearly posted why I put this thread here earlier on, but apperantly you misunderstood.

Good Day
