This forum is needs saving ( was being closed on monday)

Can't we just, tar and feather those responsible?

Pretty please with sugar on top?

 

Will the forums be visible as an archive or completely gone? If you don't mind me asking.

 

hopefully a solution is found that at least leaves the information here. Constant problems or not this forum IS a gold mine of info.

 

I PM'd a Idea.

 

Why not just move to 0th bit section??

 

If it's gotta go, it's gotta go

I would like to see the posts stay though, I've found some useful information for myself in a few of the older threads.

 

Um what happened now? Make it a one time thing, ban those that cause the probs no matter who it is or what the problem was.

lock all the threads and not allow now threads to be started?

i don't know. it sucks that it has to go but if people can't be respectful...

 

I think a user group would be ideal but on the other hand I support your decision.

If there's anything I can do let me know Kev.

 

Why not put a auto-suspend system, so if u post a certain word sequence for instance ("what a retard" or "don't ask stupid fucking questions"etc) it auto-suspends for 7,14 or 30 days.

I know it would be time consuming at first to impliment but when it's up and running it should be 90% effective.

 

Like others have said, I suggest banning more quickly the problematic posters. If you don't want to moderate the group, maybe select a couple of the more active, respectful posters in that area to moderate?

 

What a surprise.

 

This is sad, its the forum I enjoyed the most , Can you please consider any other alternatives? I mean there is a group of people here who work to help people out and not just to bitch at people or kill their hardware...

 

These kind of comments don't really help mate....on topic even if this forum closes it won't stop xbox 360 debate/questions cos development conversations will just move to "general development" if there's a mass brick event again it will just be posted to "general gaming" etc etc..... It will just move the problem not eradicate it.

 

The problem with the usergroup is that the most helpful people also seem to be the most hurtful people which is where I can see your huge conundrum ASSEMbler. It could be a slightly time consuming thing, but each thread could be turned into Downloadable format and just leave them for download as an archive, or just close the forum to any new posts or threads
