Suggestions for the future

[Kuroi Kenshi]

I'm not sure how much you want to change the site or revamp it in time to come, but I have a some suggestions/requests. (Really it's just me dropping in some ideas to remind you of things that you already know).

With the coming of Culdcept Saga, there will NO doubt be universal online play (Japan, US, Europe? and more). Which will be great for us, as we can actually play each other and have some good times. That being said I think this game will be much more popular than Culdcept 2 for PS2, and with that comes idiots. I was hoping you guys can somehow keep the forums similar to the way they are now. (Read: as few idiots as possible). It's rare to find a forum with people that aren't trying to act 10 at the drop of a hat. I really don't know how this can be accomplished; just a hope I suppose.

Also, I don't know much about forums as a whole, but I think you use to have to personally check on registration? That might be hefty on you with all the people flocking here. So anyway of making it automatic would be good. I'm sure this could be the best (even if the only) Culdcept Forum online when that game is out. I don't know if you guys as a whole wanted to change the site a lot or none, but just reminding everyone that "Culdcept" is going to be a much more popular search for folks in general. This will no doubt become a lively place. I hope for the best. Thanks for reading my babble.

Thanks for your suggestions. They are always appreciated.

I tend to like to maintain a "hands-on" approach when it comes to registrations. In the past, I have received registration requests from individuals who are registering to a "public" E-mail service, which makes all E-mails sent to their members available publicly on an unprotected website. I don't like the idea of having registration information just sitting out there publicly somewhere, and auto-approvals would prevent me from stopping that sort of thing. For the most part, I try to inspect the registration requests at least once per day, so although there might be a bit of a "waiting period" involved with that, I don't think that it's excessive.

As to your other comment, I guess it's up to me (and to some degree, to all of us) to keep the "idiotic" behavior under control to a reasonable degree. Members should enjoy their time here on the forum, but at the same time, they should treat others with respect and maturity. Again, with a hands-on approach to the maintanence of the forum, hopefully we'll be able to correct any such behavior before it becomes a problem.

Thanks again for your comments, and I hope that you're finding useful information here.

Excellent stuff. Also, good point about checking yourself (It's much better to have your own hands in it no matter what the extra time involved to prevent that stuff). This is going to be a sure fire forum when the new game comes out.

I'm not sure if anyone has access to Wikipedia.org but I was thinking it might be beneficial to post up this forum link under the external links on that site (for Culdcept and Culdcept Saga) to get anyone who is interested in the game on over to their rightful home. You know, a place where they can get more than a basic "This game is monopoly meets MtG" explanation.
