Ouch. I was never a member there, but that's horrible. It might lead to a couple of members moving over here -- and they are most welcome -- but it's never fun to see a site pass away.

I've never been a member there so I wouldn't really know, but it seems, by the way the post is written, that it was a decision made mostly out of anger and not much thought. That's how it reads to me...

Qube has posted quite rarely over the last few months, and the site as a whole is almost entirely dead. Qube is also currently working professionally on a large web projects. I am thinking these two factors also contributed to it's closure. He doesn't need a small site forum with very few visitors. |

Hi! The problems over there were bad. There were a few members who thought themselves the elite of the forum and that everyone else was just there to pamper. I was accused of by a certain person of being soley responsible for the closure of the site which imho is total rubbish. I think I've just been made the scapegoat. There is one particularly nasty personality over there whom I despise. He is quick with personal attacks then throws a tantrum when he gets slapped back. But anyway, I'm hoping I will be allowed to make base here. There'll be no rubbish like there wwas over there and because I know jayenkai from old I trust him to manage a forum better then the syntaxbomb guys. That forum was never popular anyway. It was just a dossers gaff for a few people like I said who didn't want anybody else there and bullied people that spoke their mind. One person in particular was becoming incresingly hypocritical and always miserable and I just got fed up with, hence my post there and my eventual removal from there happy place.  Anyway, gonna post my dax robot game now. It's a simple platty game. laters...

Good to see you again, Amon, it's been a long while! To be fair, this site wasn't exactly thriving until a few days ago.. I added those little powerbars (see the powerbars thread) and they seem to have done the trick. Stay if you wish, I've no issues there, but like I was saying in the Mudchat last night, I think things work much better if there's 2 large sites.. When CW um.. Vanished (!) the whole community just sort of wandered off. Whereas, with there now being both a SyntaxBomb and a Socoder, if one fails (see above) the other can at least allow for a transition. So, as much as folk are welcome here, I'd at least prefer it if there was something else out there. So that we know, just incase, that there's always a home to go to. With that in mind, keep your new forum open, and see if it takes off  ta muchly! (although, again, not that I don't want you here.. just as a backup!) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Well, my forum wouldn't suite people I think, j! My rules are lax, personal attacks are allowed and so are flamewars. I don't really know if people will be able to cope with it. I want people to speak there mind without worrying about being banned. I may decide to reopen it. What would be noce though is this forum software you have going on here. I wouldn't mind purchasing. The nostalgic look of it is what's good. Thanks for letting me stay by the way. Oh yeah, please check out my Dax Robot game. As for a second forum, well, I think the guys will find somewhere else over at syntaxbomb. They'll setup another little happy place for themselves where they rule. :/

Well let's all hope that whatever else happens, people don't bring their dirty laundry here from anywhere else. That would be unfortunate, and surely unwelcome. -=-=- Life's biggest obstacles are your greatest opportunities to excel.

As some of you know I've been slowly building a website over the last few weeks, although it's still not complete. But I put up a forum in case any SyntaxBomb (or SoCoder/whatever) members would want to join. Linky! |

Since everyone are spreading their forums around, let it be known that me and my brother have been running a forum here for a long time. It has lots of visitors and is a nice place to be. I've already registered at JL235's forum... -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Yeah, but your link has nothing to do with SyntaxBomb. DD's opened up his forum so folk could use it in the interim. Whereas yours is just a World of Warcraft forum. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

If people'd be interested, I'd be more than willing to put up some language sections in the 'Development' forum. As a matter of fact, there is already a Lua scripting forum up and running. Though it's more geared towards WoW scripting atm.

I've cleaned up max-coder.com. I didn't think it was worth allowing stupid flamewars etc. Like jayenkai said it's best to have a proper forum people can spread to. That way if anything happens here you guys can at least post on mine. Feel free guys to register. I would love to see you guys over there. It's not as techy as this place, mines all fora based, but I think it'll be a good little hangout.

As of writing, BlitzMonkeys.com has opened and SyntaxBomb is still open.
