this is the second time in FFR's history that I return to the forums, though this time I will not be very active. I'm sorry to say this, but all my fav members have disappeared or just abandoned FFR. Before all the problems began, FFR was the nicest forum ever...
Now, well what shall I say, I do not dislike it. It's still clean and looks good, but the discussions etc just aren't as good as they used to be.
Also I always dislike the replacements of administrators and owners, it is always a lot of work for them to do, and also it always means changes (good & bad) for us, the members.
I've one point of real criticism, and that is the templates. FFR has been down for 6 months or so, and in that time vB3 is released. The admins (now or former) could atleast made a new style, that also fits vB3. Now I came again, almost 8 months later, and this site still got the same look and hacks... though I personally think that these things are worn out now. In other words, try to invent new features to give your members.
You might now me as Guizzmyo, I've ran different anime sites, and after that I've studied a lot of PHP and marketing. Now I own Static Group ltd, a company that try's to make some nice sites, and help people out by promoting theirs'.
If you would like to see us, check www.static-net.com (a site for marketing tutorials) and www.static-net.com/forum/ (A forum, soon with 2 custom vb3 styles.)
Well, goodbye folks, I hope my story was interesting, and if I see any good threads, I will try to reply on them.
I went to your static net for a while when FFr was down, it wasnt a bad forum but it was a bit inactive.
I dont really know why you would want the look of a forum to change. The look is what gives a forum its identity, its how people remember it.
As for hacks, we've had bad experience with hacks and so its best to just stick with ones we're used to. Other complications arise with new or different hacks, and quite frankly we dont need the trouble or the hacks really. Some new hacks may come along in the future because of course nothing is determined, but if only the old hacks were restored, everyone here would be just as happy.
Anyway, welcome back to FFR, hopefully you will be more active than you say and maybe you could give some of your suggestions to the administration.
I can see his point of view. I can tell you like to give members what they want. But as Turks said, it isn't so easy all the time. FFR has just gotten up after a long downtime, so give it time.
Nonetheless, welcome back to Final Fantasy Republic. I hope you will find your stay here both enjoyable, and worth your time.
Legendary static huh? I cant beleive you havent spoke to Peter since you decided to reveal everything hidden behind Static, also i was an s-mod, i posted what, 30 times a day and you still moaned xD. Well, welcome back to FFR, even if you wont stay so active, it would be nice to see one or two replies from you. If you need any help, PM me.
Kosai: do I know you? Are you talking about my Static?
And really I do not know a Peter, and what have I revealed?
And for the moaning, yes the forums were quit inactive, though they were great when we first started the rpg-static. When we launch our 2 custom styles, I suppose we will get new members and activity.
Blackwar: I will give it time, also I will give my opinions etc on how to improve this site. Ofcourse FFR has an enormous amount of loyal fans, but we need to attract some newbies, and introduce them to the forum-thingy.
Turks: When I feel the need to, I will contact the staff with my ideas/opinions. Also I will probably post a copy of my current rules®ulations.
