Chat room

Looks as if certain persons are in desperate need of letting their voices be heard. May be Richard could give them a Chat room so that the forum could be used the way it was intended....

Dear nissemann

Intended?? lets look

Dear nissemann

Intended?? lets look

Dear nissemann
intended? lets look if there is any written statements concerning the use of littlegolems forum. I can find none.
And lets look at your own posts..are they of general interest?? personally I find your postings of no value for this site, but Im not attacking them. This site has a great gamevalue in the way the tournaments are organized, maybe the forum would benefit from a more diversed posting than " I want.." and " I want.." lighten up, nissemann, its christmas.

Amen, no_logo, amen.

ok what if tores remark had been posted at a later date or earlier before a commercialized holiday came
then what?
he has a point
this board could be used for better things than i want and he is
and someone is being foul
and so on and so on
so chill out and let each person hae an opinion
holiday time or not
to each their own
like me love me or hate me
i don't care but my opinion is still free according to the constitution

Pandore ok..1) the christmas connection?? Tore calls himself nissemann, or translated to english " a pixielike figure connected with Christmas in Scandinavia" !

Its ok with me if the discussion in this forum is suprressed to " Richard I want this, and Richard I want that.." and "Im frustrated..they are timeouting/not moving MOM..etc" I like the site and maybe a more social tone amongst friends on the forum could add to the quality of the site and shouldnt be attacked by others. just IMO!! There has been no foul language or improper subjects, just some fun remarks. Tore is in my view acting as an self-appointed moderator. And noone is stopping him from posting, or trying to censor his remarks.
Lets quote from your post: "so chill out and let each person hae an opinion holiday time or not to each their own like me love me or hate me i don't care but my opinion is still free according to the constitution "
yes, your opinion is free, and so is ours.

Yes, this server is a nice place to play. One of the reasons for this is that several users have come up with suggestions for improvements through the forum. I want to keep the forum the way it has worked so far. Since I have noticed that some of you want to use this site to chat rather than to play, I came up with a suggestion for a chat room. What is wrong with that? The forum can be preserved as a room for user suggestions and problem solving, while you guys get a place to smalltalk. If nothing is done I am afraid more players than I will lose interest in the forum and thus makes it harder to get questions answered. Even no_idea's first post in the forum was related to a problem on this server.......

nissemann, at least we agree on this site being a good place to play, but sadly enough you dont seem to get the point. I have no objection against a "chatroom", it may even be a great place for greating social interaction and a feeling of community that this place lacks today. But all considered..isnt your reason for this proposal some feeling of being threatened?? I see no reason this forum cant be both, "serious" and social, and can fullfill some community purposes as well.
But I do feel your reaction a bit odd, reading some of your posts you often seem to overreact ; wanting to leave the site if someone doesnt move as fast as you want etc...????. A need for Drama?? Lighten up nissemann its christmas, you need some focus before everything clutters up.

So, no_logo, you consider calling Americans "friggin" as not insulting? If you wish to call your American friends that, fine, but limit it to them.

no, I dont consider it an insult and if you looked closer at the note, you would notice the :)) smiley, and the three friggin americans in question, Rusty, Thuff and last but not least grade1teacher, are all good friends, Ive played and fiercely competed with dozens of times on various sites.

I took no offense to it at all. I don't mind small talk on this forum at all, but obviously some people do. How about maybe two forums?

Pablo,
I'm an American and I took no offense at all to no_logo's reference to 'friggin americans'. I knew it was not intended as an insult, because he never insults. Right, no_logo? LOL
I have nothing against europeans either (except they tend to be a little slow at times...JUST KIDDING!!!). Anyway, can't we all just get along and accept the fact that we are different and some folks see the forum for one purpose and others see it for another purpose. And if the site administrator wishes to set up a chat room (Tore's suggestion) or a second forum (Tactician's suggestion), that's totally up to him. In the meantime, I'm willing to overlook and ignore what I see as boring posts on this forum. At the same time, I would expect that others could just ignore posts made by me and no_logo and others who wish to join in our conversation instead of accusing us of 'cluttering the forum' or saying that we have a 'desperate need for our voices to be heard' or something of that nature.

well said miss naomi :)

Problem is that the messages I want to read is drowned in your messages. Here is a suggestion that should solve it: Keep on small-talking in the forum, but keep the conversation to this thread. That way anybody that want to socialize and chat can follow the thread, while I (and may be others) can skip this thread and still enjoy the forum.--- But the best solution would be to have a chat room. What do you say Richard?

With a chat room others have to be on to chat with that's what's unique about a forum, people don't have to be on at the same time.

I agree Tactician, and I sense the word "chat" is used by some person in a somewhat degrading way..there is more than a 1000 players on this site, but until now only very few have posted, I´d like to see more players in here, and I´d like to see more diversity in the subjects discussed. Thats what the term "general" means to me.

I mentally thank Richard almost daily for all the work that has gone into this site. the updates based on suggestions, and constant maintainance. Why is everybody ( okay only SOMEbodies) always wanting more? Has anyone thought about ASSUMING at least SOME of the work load? Richard.........you are great!!!

Wanting more is not the same as not being grateful for what has already been done. Richard has done a great job building this site. There are still room for improvments though. If I see something on this site that I think could have been done better I will continue to propose improvements. It is up to Richard to concider if the improvments will be useful and I will not continuosly repeat my proposals. If Richard finds this is not useful or this is too much work, then OK with me.

tore why do u not offer to help richard with his work load

This is Richards server and not under GPL. Besides I am no WEB-programmer. I am sure that if Richard needed help he would post a note in the forum, so far he has made no request whatsoever as far as I have seen.

you have a lot to say though

Yas, and all he has suggested has been improvements to the site. Some implemented, some not. So?
If You don't want a chat it's perfectly ok with me to send messeges directly to the person(s) You want to talk to. That's what they are there for.
I agree with Tore in this matter regarding this forum.
