Guest Problem

May want to just go ahead and limit the forum to members only . . . I mean that way the 20+ guests who are around will be logged in! xD

Seriously though, more members online at a time, the more active it will be.
You were talking about that weren’t you Cadavre?
lol

Anyways just a though. :smiley:

[QUOTE=Nalin;7053]I hate forums that require you to register just to browse.[/QUOTE]
Eh, it’s useful for the forum itself though.
If they sign up for an account, they learn more than just browsing, also with more people logging in, we have a more active forum. lol

[QUOTE=Nalin;7053]Also, a good portion of those people are probably crawlers indexing the site.[/QUOTE]

Also, not all of them are. :smiley:
A bunch are regular people too. More than likely.

EDIT: I myself, when I come across a “Log in to view” forum. I get an account.
Even if it’s just for a minute.

Don’t say you come across these “Log in” forums and don’t sign up. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t sign up to every crap-site I visit. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes… crap… :stuck_out_tongue:

True, but since this is actually a game site/forum. I doubt people will just go “Crap” then leave. lol

I say it’s worth a shot, can’t hurt.

Let’s be like Graal Online forums!

Actually “Membership Required” sure.

Paying for it, no.

Shut your mouth Dangerless. :smiley:
You can’t compare this forum to Graal Online just because I thought it was a good idea to require membership to look at it.

The membership is free though so it’s no big deal.

Deal with it. :smiley:
I still vote for it since it’s a really good idea. Will raise activity.

You don’t have to pay anymore to post on there forums now. Besides, getting someone to register here is stupid in the end, its fine as it is, the community is somewhat active so I don’t really see the point. (Other then downloading our stuff here)

In the past, yes, Graal Reborn used to have you register but that changed and as far as I remember its a little more active now or somewhat the same. I guess it also helps to show were not some ‘anti-graal’ community posting up trainers. Thus, showing were not some dangerous community trying to steal your account.

Wow, thought it was still pay.
It’s not exactly stupid to get someone to register. It’s just more numbers. The community isn’t as active as you think, take a look at who logs on.

There’s the occasional “New Account” who logs on for a minute, posts one thing, then leaves.
Other than that:
Me, you, Joey, Agret, Cadavre, Nalin, SeraphX, Sublime, Spooon, Dontar, Blah Blah Blah

Just the regular people who log in almost every day.
Which isn’t that many.

Now if you think of this 20+ Guest list. Think how more active it would be if they were registered and input their opinions. (Headaches for Cadavre) Other than that though, it helps to have numbers.
As for your last statement. . . We just don’t have “Anti-Graal” in the name anymore. lol

It’s still worth it and can’t hurt anything if we make it member status required.

Don’t get me wrong, I would like to see this happen, but its very doubtful at this point in time (school, work, etc). We have 2,194 members as of this moment not even 1/4 of that number even log in so which causes me to believe it wouldn’t be a good idea to do this right now.

Although this leads to all the other problems such as lack of ‘content’ and ‘players’ and the whole nine yards the bottom line is just that it could be a bad move at the moment. Perharps if we start doing something (christmas is coming up and all) that helps not only the community but new members as well we very well could get them to become part and active on our community.

We the community are not really showing much. Support? Sure but otherwise, there isn’t really anything if it weren’t for Nalin there wouldn’t be anything at all by now. Just remember, if we were that is the ‘staff’ of Graal Reborn to do more for content and its members than that would be the more promising step to take not making members join this place for no reason given other to ask for scripts or download gserver updates.

(hopefully I made myself clear)

we would most likely become more active if a server accually got finished 100%, about now, other than the servers using the classic packs, no custom server ever got 100% complete in my opinion

I can do a classic server no problem.
lol

Custom Classic, rather than “Classic” from Graal Online

The Forum is hard enough to navigate when even it is inactive because you can’t trust the “new posts” functions for crap.

Dontar, I do agree.

I think it should start small like a very small village and the odd dungeon. and build up from there.

You can do the whole “Fate” idea. Where it’s one town and just a huge dungeon.
That’s easy, and it’s fun.

Yeah, it would also make it easier to find other players in the town and stuff.

I guess thats why that Link fellow starts off in the little woods at beginning of zelda 64… so not to overface the player withe the large game world.

I have yet to see an actual dungeon in any graal server I have logged into. (all two of them :p)

Okay, I’ll make a simple “Fate” Styled server (Get things running). Then later finish up my idea. lol

Well, I’ll work on this “Fate” idea for a week. Gives me something to do besides think of images err. :smiley:

Eh later :smiley: xD
