The Area

I actually don't really see a "point" to this forum, considering it is nothing more than the extention of TH'net's entertainment area and GH's general view.

I created GH with the mindset to create an entertainment space. In general, entertainment. That is/was the overall goal, to discuss things that entertain people... From movies and music, to role-playing games and video games. I even have plans for huge extentions to the recent huge extention I did, re-structuring the forum.

Hell, I always have plans.

And now someone's trying to re-invent what I have... Hmm. Now I know how TH really feels when everyone constantly breaks off because they're not the power behind a site, or because they wanna "own" something.

Good luck. But I don't support this.

Honesty, at it's bluntest.

I'm trying to do exactly what you are doing. I think it one of the things that brought the few spiders we had. You are the big guy I look up to. :p

I disagree with you. Firstly, currently our most active forum is the debates, which is something I'm not sure is active at GH. Secondly we have a huge focus on the Entertainment forum, I try to post guides, reviews and impressions daily. Also, as said the way we play to work is different, we are taking it to the extreme.

Thanks for being honest, I'm sorry that you feel that way.
 
Really? Because we have a debate forum set aside. We also have reviews. I don't know what you mean by impressions, but I've never said no to "guides" to anything, especially games, since we have a forum for that, too.

Take a look at GH. I don't know if you've been on since I made the re-structuring, and if you haven't... Maybe that's why you don't understand.
 
Well Rheias I have registered.

About that PM you sent me..I will reply through PM on this site.
 
B) We plan to work quite differently than how TH.net works. As said in the thread I linked members are the key point really. Obviously in TH.net it is a similiar situation but we are going for the extreme. Members > staff, always. Of course, if a conflict would arise the staff would be the final group to decide, however, with our 'policy' a conflict should never arise. This excludes personal conflicts.

That sounds interesting - I'll try to register when I get a chance. :)
 
Thanks for everyone who registered and supported! We appreciate you helping our little, new community grow. Recently we got a few search engine's spiders checking the site which really gives us motivation to keep posting content.

As said the goal here is to make a forum ran by members and moderators. It is still hard to see it as the forum is so small but if it will grow bigger the goal is to make the staff not as actively involved in the forum. Of course it doesn't mean we are going to let everyone do as they wish but members would have much more flexibility.

I hope to see you there soon. :D
 
well if you want to bring moderators close to members don't give so much reputation to admins and moderators since that makes the difference really great.
 
When did ever reputation change something? :p Moderators+ have high reputation just to make sure it is easy to make out who they are.
 
> When did ever reputation change something?
It doesn't have to change anything. New members (and more often than not, old ones too) only care about having plenty.

> to make sure it is easy to make out who they are
Considering the previous members>staff post, shouldn't you be trying to achieve the exact opposite?

Not really. We are not going for complete chaos, let everyone do what they want, no authority, no, really not what we have in mind. There is some authority, there is some watching, and there are people who make sure the forum doesn't become a complete spam place. Flexibility and consideration doesn't make authority disappear and doesn't make it any less important, only not as active.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
