Title: Meeting of the minds
Lor - September 7, 2007 08:52 PM (GMT)
Suicune and myself have recently been given the priviledges of an administrator. Though we certainly have ideas of our own, we would be interested to know what changes you all want to see made. Keep your posts to a point, please. Also, don't suggest something like "Let's turn this into a Halo forum." Most of you know what should stay and what should go.
windseer1986 - September 7, 2007 09:16 PM (GMT)
Could expand the games sections to include some member written guides.
SuicuneSol - September 8, 2007 01:46 AM (GMT)
Marlin-sama tells me that you're working on a new skin. Care to share what you have in mind, Lor?
I have no ideas at this given moment. Brainstorm for us, Roc's Nest Members.
EDIT: Member written guides, Wind? I take it you want to add Ragnarok Online guides, or something? There certainly is room for that.
Mathias - September 8, 2007 05:18 AM (GMT)
what the news here anyways, seems the first thing this forum needs is people, that couldnt be more obvious, what chased them all off in the first place eh?
oh heres one, get rid of that damn search flood control, its so utterly useless and annoying =D
windseer1986 - September 8, 2007 05:56 AM (GMT)
speaking of ro, now that theres 2 admins who play or have played it, maybe improve that section a bit? For example not hiding it so much. A lot of people play RO so it would probably draw a few new members.
:gsjoy:
Lor - September 8, 2007 09:04 PM (GMT)
I had nothing in mind for a skin as of right now, but changing it wouldn't be very hard.
I approve of the expanded guides and Ragnarok sections.
FelixGSTLA - September 8, 2007 10:33 PM (GMT)
I believe that expanding the games section to make a general any game disscussion part would be nice.

SuicuneSol - September 11, 2007 09:41 PM (GMT)
Exactly what do you mean, Mew? We have a Pokemon section. It's tucked under all those other forums. Yes, right there! That's it!
Or do you mean guides and such? serebii.net has all the guides anybody could ever ask for. What about Pokemon tournaments, you say? Oh, that's a WONDERFUL idea. We should hold one tournament each month. The winner gets a prize. We don't know yet, but they do.
Mewtation - September 11, 2007 11:38 PM (GMT)
No, I mean, fix the spelling. It bugs me. :)
SuicuneSol - September 12, 2007 01:31 AM (GMT)
Happy, Mew? X_X I'm sure that's the only reason why Marlin christened us administrators.
I want to bring the clans forum back. Who agrees? It's still here-- just hidden from view. And there is sooo much history in that dusty hallway. It would be most entertaining to see it again.
windseer1986 - September 12, 2007 02:03 AM (GMT)
I would like to see it cause that was a little bit before I came back here.
Snipe104 - September 12, 2007 10:14 AM (GMT)
Ah yes, the clans. I was originally brought here for recruitment to one of the clans. It would be nice to see them back. My question is would it be a worthwhile effort though with the few people that come? hey, don't get me wrong, I'm all for the clans being back though.

I know, isn't it? ;)
Lionman363 - September 13, 2007 06:11 PM (GMT)
I both agree and disagree,i like halo,but making the rocs nest based on Halo would make the place a little....unusual. :drool:
SuicuneSol - September 13, 2007 07:20 PM (GMT)
Lord Marlin wouldn't allow that. He doesn't hate Halo, but he's not an Xbox fanboy either.
I'm going to reopen the clans section.
Mathias - September 13, 2007 09:07 PM (GMT)
i did ask that something be changed earlier, considering it was my first post in a couple months i wouldve thought that someone would pay attention to it
and if no one had any intentions of changing it, they couldve at least replied to me in some kind of way
SuicuneSol - September 13, 2007 10:08 PM (GMT)
I apologize Mathias. Welcome back from your long journey.
The Flood Control? I doubt it would cause old/new members to flood in as the name suggests.>_> I'll see if I can't fix that...
Do you have another suggestion?
Mathias - September 14, 2007 08:20 AM (GMT)
well, we need new members, obvious enough, so how do we get them? how do we keep them here?
its easy to come up with ideas that will catch peoples intrest when they see the site really, just set up sections that appeal to a broad audience of gamers, and then of course, since theres such dead activity here, the few of us left will have to post in every single thread made and appease the stragglers that come here in order to grow
but the real problem is this, the Rocs Nest has been very deadified for a while now...the result? not as many posts can be searched on google (especially since the *&^$%@# forum crashed #<!--emo&-_--->

<!--endemo--> ) therefore its more difficult for ppl to stumble here by searching "Ragnorok Online" and the sort, we also have many broken links now so thats another cutoff...so, one way or another, if we want new ppl, we need to either advertise or make so many threads/posts here to cover a large ground of gaming/anime/whatever that we have more ppl stumble in
then we need to keep them here, sit tall and pretty suicine so they /inv their friends
anyways, you asked for adviced, i hope that helps...and ty for the response to my complaint
Lor - September 15, 2007 10:26 PM (GMT)
I was thinking of possibly adding a music player to the forums. Discuss.
SuicuneSol - September 16, 2007 12:53 AM (GMT)
WHAT!?!?!
Can you do that?!! HOW?>W!!!!
No questions asked. Lor must add this.
flamethrowerqueen - September 19, 2007 09:58 AM (GMT)
*points to self* The "long dead" might even come back occassionally if she can listen to some music on here while doing homework.
*smiles* Anybody still remember me? It's been...quite a while. *chuckles* I was almost surprised to find that I could still log in, it's been so long. >.> I'm quite busy, as of late, but I've felt the urge to see if I can spend some of the little free time I have here.
*grins* In order to keep things on topic, should I just post a welcome topic in The Clutch? XD I might as well be new. >.>
SuicuneSol - September 19, 2007 10:16 PM (GMT)
Ah, I really don't want to post right now... but... Flamethrowerqueen is here. :cry: She is a special guest.
Welcome back Flamethrowerqueen. Most surprising. As you can see, most of the inhabitants of the nest have matured and flown away. '_' Not much of a welcome for you, I'm afraid. So I'll have to do,
*imaginary banquet and party*
Welcome to the nest, and enjoy your visit.
Lionman363 - September 20, 2007 08:39 PM (GMT)
Yeah.....next I'll be running for moderator,assaninate SuicineSol,so he doesn't turn up at election so I become moderator!Fat chance of that happening.
Actually thats kinda a good idea.....

*pokes Lionman* No assassinating Suicune, not on my watch. ninj4
And Suicune, sorry for not replying to your post as well; I sent you the PM because my computer at my mom's house is stupid and...well...doesn't really show a reply button except for once every 2 hours or so. :/
*passes around milk and cookies* We don't neccessarily need to have a banquet for my return. When you've been gone for two and a half years...
...I don't think I really deserve one.
Unless...do you think a banquet would wake things up some? ^_^
SuicuneSol - September 21, 2007 12:10 AM (GMT)
*Drinks soy chocolate milk*
*sprays*
ASSASSINATE?! Lionman, so courageous all of a sudden! (You hate me? :cry: ) But I'm afraid the only one you'll be assassinating is this Chicken Pie before you and I. Would you cut a fat slice for Sam, please?
*soymilk mustache*
Indeed you need an imaginary banquet! At the moment, only you, Lionman, and I sit at this table. But three's all we need (of course the more the merrier). You have disappeared for 2.5 years. We have much to discuss, such as the terrible events that occured in your absence (gasp). Whatever could they be?!
I'm also slightly curious as to what you've been up to, or why you ran off in the first place. Of course, if the reasons are forever to be sealed away in an ancient temple in which the key to the entrance has been lost in time, I understand.
Oh! I see you have posted in the Hall of Pokemon! Do you still play it? I'll have you know we are all children in the core of our hearts, and so I have secured Pearl for myself and raised a team of healthy friends and teammates whom I love dearly. I wish I could be modest in saying so, but we have the urge to battle someone. Yes, Renoir and I. *hugs Gardevoir*
Mewtation - September 21, 2007 06:33 PM (GMT)
flamethrowerqueen, you strike me as one who would be fairly talented in storywriting. Is this assumption true?

OK,gas mask check,posion gas check,knife that looks like a you know what but kills any moderator in one swipe check and mate!
Tomorrow night Suicine,tomorrow night.... ninj4
SuicuneSol - September 23, 2007 04:17 AM (GMT)
Ah, Sam is not replying. I shall assume that she is taking a prolonged trip to the restroom, and will cover up her dinner plate.
Be warned, Lionboy, that my best guards are keeping watch tonight.
Lionman363 - September 23, 2007 08:04 AM (GMT)
Suicine forget the assasination thing okay?Anyway I've opened a new forum called Deadriver,please register there if you can ok?
Note:There is a selection of BRAND new smilies!
flamethrowerqueen - September 24, 2007 09:58 PM (GMT)
Mewtation: Um...I think I'm talented in writing...but my storywriting is something to be desired. I can think of 50,000 ideas, 10 of which may actually be good, one of which may actually get something on paper, and zero of which will ever have more than two chapters. :cry:
And Lionman, I'm glad you've given up on the assassination attempt. It was doomed to failure from the start anyway. -_-
And my apologies for not posting more often. It's not me, it's my computer(s). The desktop computer doesn't show reply buttons, ever, and my laptop doesn't like to connect to the internet, ever. :cry:
(This whole post was typed yesterday, but my internet cut out before I was able to make the reply. It seems to be working much better today, though! ^_^ )
SuicuneSol - September 26, 2007 05:44 PM (GMT)
Sam, have you ever participated in a roleplay?
Mathias - September 27, 2007 03:10 AM (GMT)
My name isn't Sam and yes I have to a great extent.
<.<
Lor - September 27, 2007 03:11 AM (GMT)
Sam is flamethrowerqueen. Lawl (or so I've read on the internets.)
flamethrowerqueen - September 28, 2007 09:09 PM (GMT)
*laughs* Yes, Mathias, I'm Sam. It isn't my real name, actually, but when I was on here a looooong while ago ('bout 3.5 years since I first joined, I guess), I really wanted to change my name to Samantha when I turned 18. I grew out of that eventually, but even so: on here, Sam is me. ^_^
And yes, sort of. I've done a fair little bit of RPing on Gaia online, but...not quite on the level that you're probably talking about. Why do you ask? Did you want me to join one?
SuicuneSol - October 3, 2007 03:56 AM (GMT)
A few weeks ago, we were talking about beginning an RP on the Roc's Nest. I wanted to know how many would participate if we did set one up.
I'm thinking about organizing a small one. You know... nothing big yet, but something that allows us to examine each other's abilities. What do you think? If we did start a small RP, what kind would you want it to be? Of course, RPs are best held with a fair number of people. Not too many-- not too few.
flamethrowerqueen - October 3, 2007 09:47 AM (GMT)
Hm...I'm not sure if I would or not. Normally I would say I'm too busy, and I am...but lately it seems that I'm posting very often on here despite the fact that I really have no time to do so right now. '_' I've got so much homework, mini-projects/papers, extra-curricular activities, and a reflection paper that's part of a graduation requirement that I probably shouldn't be on here at all. :(
*sighs* I'll have to think about it. I have so much going on, I might just need to honestly wait until the end of the month. :cry:
God of the Black Flame: Canti - October 12, 2007 09:36 PM (GMT)
Hi guys!
So... what was this topic about? I mean, there's already been an improvements topic started, and this one seems to have become another CORA :P
Um, is there any chicken pie left that I can maybe reheat? (in the oven, mind you. I don't like the microwave.)
Improvements? Skin suggestions! I liked the green skin we had a while back. I'd really like a green skin. Not necessarily the same one, just something green.
Lor - October 12, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)
YOU. YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU. CANTI needs to post more. He was the troll who kept topics alive. How can we trick Canti into posting more?
The Wind Seer - October 12, 2007 11:58 PM (GMT)
Hi Canti!
Anyways a skin suggestion?
Hmmm...try my forest light:
