I guess the consensus is that we want to go away from gamefaqs because the mods there are fucking retarded, but should we go here or to middle earth center?
The things that middle earth center has which we don't have here is a ladder system and dedicated boards for clans. Of course, the latter could easily be implemented here, but the former is definitely a reason to consider moving there.
As for gamefaqs, sure the mods are gay, but then again that's probably the place people are more likely to visit if they don't know about the game or that other boards exist. While with both here and MEC we would only get new members into the community by inviting them individually.

Well, maybe all three sites can work as a symbiotic entity. Members from all three can find any one of these and probably find the same kind of topics and members. BM is right about gamefaqs mass exposure. It needs to be going strong, at least for the time being, to help others find this one. This site seems to attract players who are above average so even if it doesn't blow up, it will be more quality than quantity. Perhaps eventually everyone will migrate here so let's see how it goes. The guys at Pandemic should be thanking us.

another thing about MEC is that it isn't a free board, so it has a more professional feel and looks nicer. Well, maybe all three sites can work as a symbiotic entity. Members from all three can find any one of these and probably find the same kind of topics and members. First of all, MEC is pretty much empty, and this site is just starting up, which is why I'm asking now if maybe we should go there instead. And having 3 sites is just too difficult for people to pay attention to, it's better to just have one site where we go to which will have everything. The only thing we'll probably have to do if we leave gamefaqs is just go back every so often and redirect new people to wherever we go. |

First of all the guys at EA & Pandemic SHOULD be thanking us & opening the goddamn servers back up would be a great way to go... As far as here vs gamefaqs vs MEC... first and foremost, FUCK GAMEFAQS IN THEIR STUPID FUCKING FACES!!!!! I WISH THAT GAMEFAQS WAS A REAL PHYSICAL PLACE INSTEAD OF AN ETHEREAL INTERNET ENTITY SO I COULD BURN IT TO THE FUCKING GROUND!!!!! That said, maintaining some presence on gamefaqs IS probably a good idea just to promote the illusion that anyone besides us gives a shit about this game. And to give directions to where we really are.. but maybe it shouldn't be me.. I still really sorta still want to tell those fuckers off once it doesn't matter anymore. As for MEC, i don't know... It doesn't look THAT much better.. especially when FREE is a very good thing. Sorry 4 being broke & ghetto but i think this place looks ok. Feels cozy like home already! And MEC looks a little TOO big. R u sure we wouldn't have the same problems there we had at gamefaqs? And as far as the ladder thing goes.. that bracket maker site u came up with worked great! You didn't have to pay for that did you? I still think the best place to come up with players is the game itself.

no, bracket maker is free, but it doesn't rank things and it doesn't record match histories.

We can always revert back to gamefaq and pull notify the new people that are posting.

We can always revert back to gamefaq and pull notify the new people that are posting. True. We can just message people to come here. As for MEC, I don't think it's really necessary at this point. I think we can organize and congregate here just as well. |

Eh, I kinda like how personal this forum feels, it's more "for us, by us" than MEC. It's true, MEC has some nifty features, but I think we can live without them.
