No-one goes to an RP looking for a forum. They'll just see it, go "okay, cool", and go off on their business. We'd get more people through Google search results (or we would if we had a better system for new accounts) than a obscure, detail-ridden RP half-hidden in another forum. We have indeed gotten a member from the forums, and they found us using the CF forums specifically, and originally came from the RP. http://avalinexus.seraphimlabs.com/forum/member.php?action=profile&uid=59 So, yes, my idea of keeping the RP on the forums did indeed do exactly what I said it would.

I've been unable to skip through 1000+ logs due to Skype throwing my scroll bar all over the place every 5 seconds. So here's our problem: The forums don't work for some people. Okay. But instead of voicing the opinion properly and letting us all work out a solution as a group, some of us decided up and move to another technology that some of us can't use either. That is the fragmentation. Neither is the ultimate solution, but it would have been easy to sit down and find one. It could be a modified version of the forum, good chance it might not. Why would it be so hard to sit down and work this out as a community?

RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Segolia - 06-21-2015 Ugh not this skype squad bullshit again. Has anyone actually taken a step back to consider if this is *actually* segregating the community like you all suggest. Within the skype group, most people are probably as active as they are here (or are more active here). People have their own shit going on and it's pretty naive to assume that just because they aren't here 24/7 that they must be in the skype group instead. Several people (maybe ~5) in the skype group aren't even members of this community at all, only in the group because they are friends with the other people in it. A couple of people are basically never active in the skype group. Take away these, and you're left with, what, so few others that I could count them on one hand who are actually 'preferencing' the skype community (or alternatively 'isolating' themselves from these forums as you suggest)? Honestly it's a bit hard to blame them either. A few are turned away by the thread because of taking issue with particular members here or just the constant drama like this bullshit. So, then that makes skype a way to keep in touch with people from the nexus without having to be involved in the nexus? Not a bad thing, these people probably wouldn't be around here instead if the skype group didn't exist. So can you really claim that skype is 'segregating' this community when it mostly(entirely?) consists of: -People who maintain an active presence both here and on skype -People who aren't and were never part of this community -People who don't want to be involved with this community but use skype as a way to keep in touch with some people who are.

Has anyone actually taken a step back to consider if this is *actually* segregating the community like you all suggest. Thank you, Seg. The Skype stuff is not, and never has, segregated the community. It is a different avenue of communication. Only a very small number of people are highly active in skype, and not active on the forums. Maybe four. Just because they don't post doesn't mean they don't read, however.

THE LOFTY BELIEF THAT IT HAS SAVED OUR COMMUNICATION ISSUES IS BULLSHIT. ACCEPT THAT. THE FORUMS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION EITHER. BUT WE EASILY COULD FUCKING FIND THE FINAL SOLUTION. IT WAS THAT SIMPLE, BUT INSTEAD SOME OF US DECIDED TO RIDE OFF INTO THE SUNSET WITHOUT INPUT FROM THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY. THE COMMUNITY IS FRAGMENTED HERE. THERE IS NO DENYING IT.

Has anyone actually taken a step back to consider if this is *actually* segregating the community like you all suggest. Okay, when did I claim any of these things? What I said was - the skype group is people who are either a) already here, b) were never here or c) have left here with no real intention of returning. Hypothetically, if the skype group was abolished, what do you suppose would happen? Like, do you think we'd have a magical influx of 20 people who contribute on a daily basis? That's absurd and I can assure you that wouldn't happen. What would likely happen is nothing at all: the people who are already here continue to be here and the people who aren't go their separate ways. Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - kawaiiChiimera - 06-21-2015 shut thef uck up RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Surge - 06-21-2015 Conflict is exciting. So many arguments, some good some awful. RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Sankoro - 06-21-2015 HERE IS THE DEAL you guys have a whole goddamn forum yet you all stick to one thread combined with the unrelenting shitposting of certain members it just combines into one huge clusterfuck of who cares that puts people off from posting because nobody can ever have an actual conversation so people use skype because people can actually talk there without having a fuckton of pictures clogging up between messages just have one more than thread jesus christ that is literally the point of a forum RE: Avali Nexus Forum 1: A Cold Phoenix - Surge - 06-21-2015 Ironically when I was there Skype was a bigger shitpost central than any of our threads ever were. I guess people don't consider nonverbal noises and merciless and sometimes intimate contact that drowns out any actual discussion to be quality posting.

If I don't use Skype, I will never hear anything that goes on in there, outside some vague memories of an enlightening conversation! It is also a bad thing because it is taking up too much of their communication, routing it through a method, again, most of us will never see! I mean, where the FUCK is Corosar? I have heard ONE POST from her here, with no explanation as to WHY SHE HAS ABANDONED THE NEXUS RP. THERE IS AN ENTIRE CHARACTER IN PARTIAL GRIDLOCK BECAUSE SHE HASN'T POPPED UP IN THE LAST MONTH. ENTIRE OTHER CHARACTERS HAVE DISAPPEARED TOO, INCLUDING GONZO'S, EVEN THOUGH HIS CHARACTERS ARE THE REASON WHY WE ARE ON A FUCKING HIVE WORLD. WE HAVE A PROBLEM. DENYING THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS MAKES IT WORSE. I DON'T GET WHY YOU CAN'T FUCKING SEE IT. THIS FORUM IS A PROBLEM. SKYPE IS A PROBLEM. NEXUS RP IS A PROBLEM. HOW ABOUT WE FUCKING FIX IT IN A WAY TECHNOLOGICALLY FRIENDLY TO THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY. |
