This discussion have gone off on wrong foot here. (in regards to other threads comments left and right)
My aim to start talks with uoforums wasnt meant to be a forced decision to move but rather looking at what choices we had , and I think i made it pretty clear to the ones i spoke to on icq while doing this.
I see how it could be viewed that im making decisions for everyone but I hope that people belive me when I say it wasnt done out of malice but rather out of a will to keep us all united.
If we start from page one on this discussion instead of making enemies of eachother when we all want the same thing then I think we can reach a good solution to this problem.
We had a irc chat (we as in a bunch of rpers from various guilds) earlier today and what we saw as the major points we should focus on was;
* Do we want/need total control over the server
* Do we want/need joining another community with its bad and good sides
Those are the major points really
The other things like how the boards will look and backup on the future posts is all covered on the alternatives we have to choice from.
And we all said that the other things like games, pets etc that are availble shouldnt matter since we after boards as priority one.
And also that the major focus should be on
UO and RP on these boards
So what options is there?
1
F4G
2 UOFORUMS
3 MURADS PRIVATE SITE
1 >
F4G means when its moved to Jolt and out of marty's hands and into Cals hands (or her bf on his job).
+ Total control of it
+ Admin and mods we already know
+ Known to our members
2 > UOFORUMS means that we would set it up like we had it on
f4g but under their banner and be a subdivision there , and it would be in the hands of Adam the admin who runs the site.
+ Offical forums of
UO alongside stratics which means Devs posts there and they read the boards
+ Alot of free traffic from other
UO players from all across the shards
+ Its already up and running so least amount of work to get it going
3 > MURAD means it would be in the hands of a Murad whom is a long time rper and thus basicly in our hands
+ Most likely the most advanced choice since Murad loves to do stuff like this
