Is GD going to be pay to use?

Given the sudden removal of Avatars and Jammyjim talking about a change about how the game and the forums interrelate that's been in the pipeline for a year and a p2p round of pa again imminent are they going to force us to play the game (and hence pay) if we want access to GD to post?

dun dun dun!

p.s. I recently disucssed how retardedly unfeasible this idea should be in forums against belgy and JJ and they both contested in favour of it a couple nights ago.

As we said last time, JJ could just send starbucks a copy of the user table in the database and we'd all migrate there

Plus Starbucks is cool and not a twat.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

It almost happened a while back. I'm not sure how long ago, if it was a couple of months or maybe a year, the thing in my brain that gives me concept of time is kind of frazzled.

Anyway, back then it sounded like a dumb idea, now it sounds like a dumb idea too.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

All that will happen is people will go elsewhere, which will kill the game faster.

If I'm going to pay for a forum (SA) I want a large amount of activity and content.

[edit]

And you know what? It wouldn't really matter to me. Everyone I have a desire to know independent of here I already have other contact methods for.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

when it nearly happened before, the plan was that people could signup for a passport to have board access without having to pay to play that game. I think it was a ballsup in integration, the dream of a unified login that shelved it.

i'm sure some people (lo A2) would love the chance to get rid of us

And that was the worst implementation ever, partially based around Karm's assertion that 'it would be impossible to move the forums to vb3 intact'. The idea got canned, and guess what happened? The forums were moved to vb3 intact.

Furthermore, the passport system in general has never really had any good feedback (that I've seen). It's worse for playing PA, and there's no reason for it on the boards.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

the pass port which will come with round 12 will allow access to the game and forums etc all under a single login. You will still only need to pay to play the game.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

Why would you send me a bomb?
In a parcel?
I´m so cool and intelligent. You dont want to send me bombs. You do want to send me letters about how confused and alone you are in this crazy world. About how reckless people are with your feelings, and how you feel like you dont belong here. Traumas generated by the absence of your parents/siblings etc are welcome.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

I'm not paying to post on an internet forum. I argued against paying to use the forums last time it was proposed and thought certain people had realised it will help kill the game.

Oh well .

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

No-one would pay to use GD.

Making it pay-to-play would simply be a polite way of saying ex-players (i.e. most of GD) aren't welcome in the community anymore.

Precisely. "Round {1,2,3}? Who cares about them?"

vB3 does have built in subscriptions. hardocp's forums use them. I'm sure the API is open and they could create a custom callback method to unlock the planetarion on topic forums to people who pay to play planetarion.

In their defence, I can't think of many reasons why they _should_ care about round 1/2/3 players.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

Passport Intergration was due to occur this week, however as the game signups could not be delayed by one day. I shelved the idea for this round.. however the passport and the forums link up is already coded and works fine.. and few have already tested it(including the reclamation of nick names), eg - leshy.

Although you will require a passport account to post on the forums. You will not have to pay to access.

A couple of rounds it was discussed making it so only those that p2p can access the PA related forums, but even under this scenario GD and co were free... nevertheless the p2p forums access thing has been binned.. It would ruin what little community is left on some of the forums.

Why not just prefill the passport database with the info from these forums? Seeing as you will have to have some sort of password security to ensure that names and accounts don't get stolen it's a bit redundant having to claim them back in the first place.

They don't have to if they don't bother having password security, if it's anything like last time.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

The "little" issue from last time has been fixed. ( i know this as i am logged into the passport and the forums now.. and logged in as me unlike last time

As for why not just reinsert the names directly from here.. well its an option .. not one i have honestly considered.. the only immediate downside would be that all passwords would have to be reset (the encryption on the passport is setup differently to here)

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

If i recall correctly.
and im pretty sure i do.
Pay to post/ integrated pa account/ board account, was originally Zeus's idea to reduce board spamming.
Back when the boards were active, and shai, Seth, etc made millions of accounts.
Rather than adjust the sign up process to not use hotmail addy's, or have moderated sign ups turned on.

PAY TO POST was deemed a genius idea by the then #pateam yes yes yes yes yes YESSS men.
every single person that wasnt a mod thought it was a spectacular idea,
Zeus backed up the argument by saying he'd chatted to Rumad (I think), and that said person thought the boards should be for Pa players only, that GD should be removed, and that Alliance discussions should be the only board on the entire thing.

way back when.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

i was about to post something simliar too.


sorry for absence. i was working all night :-(


GD will never ever be pay to post. unless i

a) quit and someone who thinks its a 'really really' cool idea takes over
b) i get fired and a) happens.
c) I hit financial turbulance and need cash fast (ho ho)
d) I get fired because i dont want it to happen and then a) happens.


So worry not my children. Everything is safe still.


JJ


p.s my feet hurt. ive pulled a muscle in my left arm. i hate someone ive never met before because he just didnt turn up for work today meaning we had 1 waitress. and me. running around attending to 40 tables in a 'posh' place.

oh and it was me second day of ever ever doing waitering work. so hurray for me and my quick 'picking it all up quickly' type thing.

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

Integrating Planetarion and Vbulletin has taken over a year?

I know that VB3's User Table is a little more complicated than VB2's. but to be honest it is not too difficult. I did it on mine within a day.

Which reminds me I should really work on that a little more, if I can find my USB2 Keyfob it is all on.

The only problem with the integration is where you want the data to be stored and how. From what Zeus told me about a year ago PA's data is not stored in mysql which is how planetarions is stored. Then you have to create a data pool to store everything in.

Now though everything appears to be in perl and not a Fast CGI C, which it was previously which would mean easier access to a mysql data pool. Only problem with all of this is people being able to reserve names, should the forums get an advantage over the game, or game over forums. And what if you are banned on the forums, could you link a new forums account to the game or would you need to register a new passport account. And with 2 Passport accounts in hand, without the proper protocol people could get banned for cheating within the game which opens up a whole new can of worms.

Alltogether if everything is linked properly (Passport system independent from both forum and game but an account of each can be linked to the passport) then everything is okay, if not you are just going to have the same problems all over again.

I might have a little looksie at the new round actually to see what you have done to this damn overpriced bit of code, the forums haven't improved however.

The current situation within the forum is overmoderation on things that should set its course and undermoderation on pure crap. The fact that due to a lot of events happening and people realising there are a lot more interesting communities out there instead of PA, which are more innovative (Weebls Stuff) or better ran and stricter (Something Awful).

These forums have no real value assigned to them, the demise of these forums was not linked to the "night of the spammers" or the "night of the spammers 2: this time we spam", more to the splitting of Planetarion Discussions and General Discussion. To be honest everyone wanted to discuss this as it was the one thing that linked us all together, now General Discussions is a Football and News Discussion Forum whereas PD is more active because it actually has a purpose.

The best thing the management can do to stop the stagnation is to cut a little bit of slack and allow users to do more things (not nessisarilly for money: see weebls stuff) and to re-link Planetarion Discussion and General Discussion, hoping that both user groups like in the past can contribute to both types of threads, because at the moment most people who visit GD do not visit PD, and most people who visit PD do not visit GD.

The irony is that the most privilent Subforum of all is the one that was mocked the most, RP. After having a little lurk it still has the same sort of things it had in its hayday whereas other forums have diminished, this is probably due to the fact it was always seggrigated and thats the way they liked it, this however does not work with PD and GD.

I myself have not posted on these forums for a lot, only to catch up on a few opinions on football matches (the reason I am here today actually) and when I am bored out of my skull. It did not have the same sort of "grab" it used to.

Now come for my suggestions with regards to these forums, you can ignore them but the stagnation will persue until you may as well rename this to the "Football and MrL's Ramblings Land".

- Allow for a more structured system, voting users posts for custom titles or even accounts (planetarion accounts), where the more active and worthwhile users are rewarded and the spammers are not
- Reduce the moderation on discussions on "the situation" of the forums and critisims of the planetarion team as a whole, allowing for opinions to be heard because without them this place would not exist.
-Stop users taking threads off topic
- Add better themes and styles to the forum
- Make the passport integration seamless and more importantly difficult to abuse.
- Advertise the forums more within the game

If you can just put your heads together and spend a few hours work looking around a few websites looking at things that could help this place then you will be fine, if you let this forum continue its course then there will be little point in creating any sort of integration in the first place

Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

The forums intergration is done and dusted.. test over 6 months ago and works fine

the bit that wasn't done was intergrating the game
and until spinner does that there is little point in doing the rest

So Karmulian... when are our avatars coming back? Will our profiles etc. be reset? Will we have to re-sign up? Do we lose our titles & post counts? Will we see the ingame styles ported over and turned into forum styles too?

Additionally, the problem with a reintegration wouldn't be PD, it would be GD. Any posts regarding the game that accidentally pop up on GD are generally treated with disdain, being taken off-topic and spammed.

More active than what? Previously? GD? The other PA forums?

It's the most active out of the PA forums ('shock as PD is more active than AR or PA Suggestions'), but it's nowhere near GD or RP, or even PD of 6-12 months back.

Also, having the community doing 'rewards' seems to be a terrible, terrible idea to me; what is it supposed to encourage?

Could we not even charge something like $0.01 per post in order to dissuade jakiri?

Question Re: Is GD going to be pay to use?

The only rational argument in favour of a passport system that I could see, is if it encouraged more game users to come onto the forums. Which there is no assurance that it will do. In fact, it's possible that it may decrese forum activity more than anything else.

Otherwise it's just pointless cock-waving that rubs everyone up the wrong way.

Oh, and is there going to be a repeat of the previous debaclé, where people who had a username for the last nigh on half-decade would no longer be able to use it anymore because of a pure administrative balls-up?
