Now we are making private areas on the boards just for certain people? <i></i>

It's no diffrent then the guildleaders forums. <i></i>

Theres no super secrets here! move along...<

<

Neesh, Tarot moved that crap mid last night because we have rumors of a spy.<
>
<
>
Looks to me like the only thing not in the ogame forum are <
>
1) OGame Wiki(probably helpful to those considering playing)<
>
2) OGame Joining the UDLK(cant get access to private unless youre UDLK)<
>
3) UDLK Flag(could probably go in ogame forum)<
>
4) Ogame newbie question<
>
and your post...<
>
<
>
So if you ask me the only thing that should go is UDLK flag post.<
>
<
>
General questions about Ogame are not specific to the private forum, since we are only hosting our alliance there.<

Are we playing a game of state the obvious, or was that a rhetorical question?<

<

And "certain people" would be "anyone from Lanys who wants to play that game with other Lanys people". But I suspect you knew that as well. The Birth of Tarot (NSFW)<

The guild leader forums were used when we all played EQ to talk about EQ-related stuff (flagging, etc). There are now 24 posts total in that forum and it hasn't been used since April 1. I'd hardly call it the same thing. If you want to make a private Ogame section, then why not remove all of the Ogame spam in this section other than a description of what it is? Or why not make a completely new Ogame forum instead?<

This forum is hardly used at all. The thread at the bottom of the forum is nearly a year old. Perish the thought that it gain a little life. <i></i>

This already been ruled out. Why move lanys people to another forum when this one is SOOOO overburdened with posts as it is...<

<

The other stuff i hit above. <i></i>

Because the private section is for Lanys players all playing together, so the information isn't publically visible to non-Lanys people playing as well, since it's a competitive game.<
>
<

There are people who are playing on other universes (think servers) and generalized information that may be of interest to people not playing within that alliance group. Since this is a rarely used forum, the minimal amount of churn won't be an issue. Additionally this area was created first for people, then there was concerns about the information being viewable, and since it's easily accomidated here, for Lanys people, it was something they prefered to making their own board for it. <

Here's a thought.<
>
<

How about you have a thread in this section that says "hey, Lanys, a bunch of us are getting together and playing OGame. We have our on Universe, yada yada yada, and would like everyone to join us." We had a similar thread before (started by Frizznik, I believe) and it is now gone. So even if people would like to join, they have no way of knowing how to go about it, they just know from Tarot's post at the top of this forum that there is a private area. I know I am making a bigger deal out of this than I intended (or really should), but this just looks like another "it's my board, I will do what I want" decision made by the mods. <
>
<

As a side note, and a kind of dumb comparison, but it's sort of funny that people screamed for a Gnome section forever and it never got made, even as a joke, but the Ogame fad gets not only its own section, but a password-required one as well. In any event, thank you for giving me a new crusade! When I read up on the game a few weeks ago, it sounded pretty cool, actually. <i></i>

.... hm i c<

<

So people sent direct requests regarding this, and... something happened... and.... neesha gets mad...<

<

Guess you cant please everyone. I agree though about the initial post, only problem was that post got bloated with private information so we will have to make a new one. No biggie, seriously. <i></i>

Or how about you stop whining about shit that in no way affects you?<

<

You'd think someone kicked you in the nuts with the amount of crying you're doing here. Seriously, shut the fuck up and find something productive to do. <i></i>

Yup, guess you'll just have to suck it up and whine more about it. <i></i>

QQ <i></i>

Ogame gets a lot more posts than CoH/CoV or Vanguard.<

<

And for what it's worth, I play on a different server and am not in Frizznik's alliance (I wanted to play on a new server, rather than worry about getting smashed by players that have been playing for years). So I read the general Ogame posts here.<

<

The private forum doesn't involve me, but I understand the reason for having it there. It doesn't affect me in any way, so I'm not worried about it, heh. <i></i>

Good lord Neesha, blow it out your ass. <i></i>

I don't see any OGame private area. <i></i>
