moonhead79 wrote: 1) YES because there isn't a proprer admin/moderation, this is the real key for this forum. With a good moderation section this forum has a great potential. I was admin in a rockprog forum founded by me and other friends and it was a good experience (sometimes a nightmare but it's part of the game). This forum needs: A moderation team A good but light technical restyling Look at the Genesis Movement or Pink Floyd Yeeshkul, two long dated forum but in good shape, why? Simple: a good moderation team who manage the forum and the technical part of it. Obviously a forum is like a second work, it needs money (the host platforms aren't free ) but could be a great experience... With my forum i met a lot of musicians like Steve Hackett... 2) YES only if this forum really dying, before that i stay here 3) YES My question is: WHO MANAGE THIS FORUM? PS: My forum doesn't exist now just because it became too big to manage it ;)

pittrek wrote: 1) yes 2) kind of - I'm not a fan of banning, I prefer an "ignore" or "mute" function, banning can be extremely easily misused 3) probably yes

moonhead79 wrote:@stevelondon20 thanks mate! @pittrek i'm agreed with your 2nd point but sometimes the situation needs strong measures, obviously this is only my point of view.

moonhead79 wrote: Anyway... lost this forum could be a shame because there are a lot of great people who contribute for years with passion and lost their works it's very awful... then move everything on another board could be a huge work.

Negative Creep wrote: How ironic is this thread! The forum has gone to shit - because of the constant arguing from forum regulars like yourself and The Real Wizard. You both feel you have to respond to EVERYTHING - look at your post counts!! Mental. If you believe someone is a troll, don't engage with them - simple as that.

Maybe there is a way to convert the database so we could keep the old stuff but such a task is above my knowledge level. So just getting a new board wouldn't be real fix..

The number one source of most Queen audio & video multimedia and bootleg downloads is Queenzone. This is an important part of the forum. On QOL that just doesn't exist and can't exist since it's an official forum.

Nicely done ! Can you ban IP addresses with your engine? And is there a way to set certain IP addresses (i.e. of trolls) to make it appear as if their posts are being seen by everyone, but in reality only they themselves can see their posts? This is a far better alternative to banning trolls, as it will take far longer for them to realize they've been banned.

Or do a whole lot of copying and pasting. Rejoice ! But check your email first - I had a couple further ideas.

SkyeTV wrote: Had a look, and the new forum looks good, it has far better options than here and has an easy to navigate format. One gripe, as it were, nothing major. Regarding the rule about selling, it says don't try to sell stuff. I wouldn't anyway, but it then says if you find something interesting, by all means refer to it - but it must be your own sale. If it's my own sale, I haven't "found" it, I already know about it. ANd if I refer to it, surely that's me trying to sell it? Maybe it could be scrapped or reworded.

moonhead79 wrote: Mmm the new board seems very interesting! Could be great a close collaboration between the two forums just to move everything there. Tha main goals, for me, is just a light moderation and create a brand new database for the a/v recordings. Torrent or mega (or any other filesharing site)? Or both?

moonhead79 wrote: Great, you have my support ;)

*goodco* wrote: A board I have been on for years link As a member, I make the background blue, as opposed to the harsh white, for easier viewing. Anyway, your ('our') new forum looks quite similar. Also, especially in this volatile political climate, there are definitely disagreements, but the tone has to be civil. Too harsh of a tone, or 'beating a dead horse' can result in warnings or probation or a 'chilling out' period. Personal attacks result in banishment. We know that when we come on board. I'm looking forward to that with your new endeavour. Thank you.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: @The Real Idiot, have you stopped to consider that maybe this place has been circling the drain because Queen as a band has been circling the drain, and all this place is doing is holding up a mirror to that fact, figuratively speaking? Surely, even someone as intellectually dishonest as yourself would have to concede that a rock band touring with a weirdo cabaret karaoke singer and making a biopic about Freddie Mercury that turns out to be a movie about Brian May and how HE was the one to mastermind the band's success, and following it up with the guitarist appearing all over the news for assaulting some camera guy, after posting some shit about vegenuary on top of some other sanctimonious crap, is not the band many of us have fallen in love with. People are complaing, but they have reasons to. Nobody is inventing things out of thin air to complain about. And if you have a problem with that go join Brenski's thread. He will tell everybody what they can and cannot say and thus protect you and other snowflakes like you from the ugly truth.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: Why not just ignore the threads and replies that don't interest you, like I do? On every forum I've ever particulated in, no matter what the forum is about, most of the threads and replies were of no interest to me. But do I go policing every reply? Do I attack people for saying something that I find silly, or boring or disagreeable, or whatever? No, because that's what fascists do. Plus I think it's rude.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: @circle, why don't you go over to my "how to make this forum great" thread and agree to live by the 3 principles outlined there like I agreed to do. So far I'm the only one and I feel rather lonely, especially given the number of intellectually honest people here who want nothing more than a respectful place to discuss all things Queen. I await your reply over there.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: I'm intellecually honest.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: Jupiter has spoken. There is no argument.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: @stevelondon, really, I never heard you say that what circle of Eonion said the same thing. Why is that I wonder.

Yet you can't even spell the word properly. You are a joke.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: @The Real a Wizard, sometimes when I type really fast I misspell words. Tell you what; how would you like to be my personal proof reader. 50 cents per correction. How does that sound? If I were you I would take it; it's a pretty good deal.

Typing too quickly again? You obviously meant to say intellectually challenged. You are an intellectual moron, that is plain for all, that are left, to see.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: @ St Jiub, how would you like to be my personal advisor in intellectual posting? It will work like this: I write a post, and then I send it to you to check it for its intellectual content. If it isn't intellectual enough you can suggest some ideas and I will alter it as per your advice. $5 per post. How does that sound? And also @The Real Wizard, if you're reading this, have you decided if you would like to be my personal proof reader yet? PM me and let me know please.

Freddie Jupiter wrote: Also I've been thinking. Should I add to my 3 principles a fourth one that says that all writing here needs to always be perfect; perfect spelling, perfect grammar, perfect syntax etc. Or would that be a bit fascist? Your input would be appreciated.

Freddie Jupiter wrote:BTW, while you're here, do you agree to live by 3 principles I outlined, or a pre you an intellectually dishonest hypocrite? Because if it's the letter then Brenski's fascist, ban-happy forum is the place for you.
