RAWK YOU

What's happening Rock? From what I can work out, it seems that you are moving on from the forums because we are doing too much general stuff and not enough LBP stuff... I haven't been able to keep up with your LBPC story as I'm too busy moderating.

The individual forum with the most topics is General Chat, yes, but if you combine Level Showcase and Object Showcase you actually get more topics than that.

The ones with the most posts are in the General sections, yes, but I'm pretty sure if you combined all the general posts vs the LBP posts, you would get a ratio of...lets see, at the time of writing...
General section threads: 2452.
General section posts: 57,027.
All other sections (excluding top secret access stuff :P) threads: 4623
All other section posts: 60,765.

Hmmm... the ratio of threads LBP to general is about 2:1; but the ratio of posts is roughly 1:1.

Now this is excluding stuff like the now vanished archieves, which did have Spam Can but also had all the stuff about the Beta as well. It's also excluding the sections that most users can't see. The moderator stuff you could put in general, as it's talking about the site rather than the game, but the Site Filmers and Spotlight sections are certainly talking about LBP. Unfortunately I (don't think I can) give out numbers for those bits as they are not public access, but I was aware of their existance even before being a moderator.

Hmmm... I guess there is a lot of general stuff going about, but that's ignoring the whole lot of talk that goes on about LBP.

I use to pretty much stick to the LBP stuff and only occassionaly visit the general section before I was made a moderator, but I've got to visit general a whole lot more as more mucking up goes on there. I'm still far more active though on the LBP side of things, and that's how I prefer it to be. I like this forum because of the LBP stuff. It allows me to talk to other creators about the good game we have found.

Essentially what I'm saying is that a person on these forums does what they feel comfortable with. You don't have to spend all day in the general section, I usually get a headache when I moderate the Spam Can, I don't know how Code can keep up with it, but I sure am glad he does though... but then I really enjoy reading all the LBP discussions, and enjoy those section much more.

Basically what I'm saying is a much longer version of what I said before in the public conversation. You are a good person, and you do contribute positively, whether that be about general things or LBP issues.

I don't know if you will ever read this, but I hope you have a nice break from the forums and then come back refreshed and focus on the main thing, that being about chatting about LBP.

Things just aren't the same as they used to huh Sauron... Before LBP came out, those were the days... But now we're getting endless threads about LBP, LBP, LBP! The fun of the forum has been taken out and I see why you're leaving. But whereelse are you going. Which forum? Contact me when you find a good forum to move onto and I'll see you there as this forum isn't the same as to be...

You will be missed. As much as some of us want to force you to stay, we cant. Its your decision.

Well, I've read your conversations with other people that have posted here, and I still don't see why you are leaving.

Listen, there will not, I repeat, WILL NOT be a forum that you may go to that has a general chat/forum games/other stuff section that is smaller than that of it's main focus. It's because usually topics have a dead end. Right now, there is only so much of LBP that we can discuss. However, if you think having a big general chat section is some form of abuse, then you're way out of your head. Let me tell you, you were one of the first people I befriended here. If there's something personal, in real life, that is affecting your decision, I understand.



BUT HONESTLY I WANT YOU TO KNOW YOU WILL BE MISSED D:

What Rainfire said that's what I meant but I couldn't put it that good.

No =(

Would it help if i said I LOVE JUICE!!!

Aww rock, you can't leave us..!

The epic story, is is is dieing >.>

Bro, i hope you have fun and make it big xD

I am sorry man but i just have to try to snap you back into your senses. Here i go. Ok do you remember before the game came out... We were all really excited about it because of all of the revolutionary stuff that would go on with this game and it appealed to a wide audience and was perfect for nearly everyone. This forum was set up as a fansite for the game. We have been through hard times (the beta give out... crazy). And great times (game coming out). Since then we have talked about it in every sense out there. This is a fansite... and basically we all came here becuase of the community. We could have been at another LBP fansite... did we? No, because we love the community. This is a place where us, people, can get together with other people with this similiar intrest. Yeah general chat is the biggest but that is just becuase we are community loving people and we are trying to find other people on the site that like the same stuff we do. That is what a forum is. It is what it is designed to do. So abandoning this one to... well i have no clue what you want to do beyond that. We still want to see you around here. We do not want you to leave. You are a great member, but not just that but a great friend to a bunch of us here. Do not leave us in the dust like that.

Cheers man.

Just because the sit has a big general forum doesn't mean people are abusing it. I've been on a few forums that focus on specifics thing and there's nearly always. Big section Bout stuff not to do with the specific subject. I mean having a big general chat forum doesn't hurt the LBP forums in any way and a lot of the members like it.

The sites not all about LBP I mean general chat is the biggest forum. If you have fun on the site you should stay and if not goodbye rocksauron you'll be missed and I don't think just cause people don't post about LBP they are abusing the site

Why are you leaving?
