A MESSAGE FROM THE STAFF - 08/09/09 03:07 AM

This game has been out less than 3 months, and this forum has already grown to over THIRTEEN HUNDRED topics, and more than FOURTEEN THOUSAND replies! shocked We would like to think this reflects the popularity of the game, but sadly, what it really represents is a huge repetition of posts, and many semi-private conversations/off topic comments.

The moderators and administrators have conferred, and are cleaning things up by consolidating/deleting duplicate and non-contributory posts.

We WANT you to enjoy the game and the forum! laugh We WANT to hear about cool things that happen in your games! laugh We Especially want to hear about how much you're enjoying the games! laugh laugh laugh

We also want you to help us make it easy for your fellow game players to find answers to their many questions. By helping us moderate the forum, your also helping yourselves get the most out of it! laugh laugh laugh


We would really appreciate it if, before you post, you ask yourself a few basic questions:
  • Is what I'm about to post meaningful to other game players?
  • Is my reply to a post on topic with the thread subject?
  • Is my reply helpful to all game players or should I post it in a pm to conserve forum space?
  • Is my reply to a help question unique? Or is it duplicating someone else's answer?
  • If I want to comment on an event or something really cool in my game, is there already a thread going where others have had/commented on the same event? If so please consider posting there.
  • Here are two excellent places to search for Help before you post questions. We realize there are many more, but these 2 will answer 90% of the questions beginners have.

I forgot to mention, that while this thread is locked, that you can send me a pm if you have questions about it's content. I will ask you not to overwhelm the admin's or other moderators with pm's. Keep in mind, that I do have other things to do, so I will reply to all of your pm's as quickly as I can.

I've already gotten a couple of pm's and want to point out that the message is NOT pointed at anyone in particular, nor is it intended to offend anyone.

We truly do appreciate your input! We are merely pleading for your help in getting the forum back under control.
