Thread: So here it is, a new forum. Now what?

  1. #1

    Default So here it is, a new forum. Now what?

    After much discussion with the rest of the NAG staff and various important-types, we've decided to shift things into a more positive gear in terms of what constitutes the online NAG community.

    Since 2003, the NAG forums have been very much in a permanent state of flux, always trying to find its identity in a local online sphere that is already populated with established communities such as Prophecy, System Shock, SGS and so on.

    Instead of trying to be "just another" gaming forum, we've come across the idea of rather focusing on what NAG is good at - being NAG. That means these forums will become a much more integrated part of the NAG culture and what NAG represents - being enthusiastic about gaming. By doing this, we hope that the NAG forums will grow with a new sense of purpose and direction.

    I'm not saying that NAG Online will become the best local gaming forum, but I have high hopes that it will certainly become the nicest place to be if you're interested in gaming.

    Hehe. You have a point about finding your focus. You can't be everything, better be specific and aim to achieve that.

    YAY! Quick Reply! God, I missed this feature. Maybe now I'll rack up millions of posts and watch as the peons cower in the shadow of my huge e-penis!

    In other news, I like the look of the new site; It will be interesting to see where this version goes, as ever I'll be here for sarcastic wit and perhaps a positive up-beat attitude. (might make a difference from the jaded cynical bastard type naww mean?)

    Hmmm, there seems to be a lack of ham and feta cheese though. That's something that must be looked into asap.

    That kitten.... aaaahh I know its the bastard son of the fith family tis the evil eyes.
    new forums are cool I like them, the needing 10 posts to make a topic is quite nice too, probably take me a few months before I feel like making a thread anyway though.

    The new forum actually mimics the design of the new upcoming NAG Online website, which will be replacing Oldskool (but oldskool won't dissapear, it'll be moved to oldskool.tidemedia.co.za when the time comes). It's nice to have a cohesive design for once. :P

    ooh I just noticed each post has its number attached in the top right corner, I like little things like that even if it turns out to be pointless its still cool.

    I'm not really sure what those are for either, except perhaps if you want to link directly to a specific post in a thread, like this: http://forums.tidemedia.co.za/wip/sh...05&postcount=6

    interesting... not sure if i'll ever use it, but regardless its cool.
    I am probably going to just use quick reply for everything, the idea of 'going advanced' scares me :)

    vBulletin has some great features...so a good choice there.
    Not a big fan of the monochromatic colour scheme and the width of the whole forum feels a bit compacted, but maybe that's just my Prophecy blood speaking.

    As you can see almost 2 thirds of my posts are in H/T.



    H/T will be greatly missed.

    Nah, I know what you mean, but I just wish to point out - Every rendition of NAG started off with numerous complaints and moaning, but eventually turns out more than fine. Trust me, you'll enjoy the forums if they work out as planned. A lot more, well active and dynamic.

    Art.Craft aswell as H/T is a loss, but it's not necessarily the end now is it? Like you said, we has a diabolical plan kekeke D:

    One word: Photobucket.
    Create a new album for finished work, and just link it under your current sig. Problem solved no?

    Also, don't start anything Art.Craft related just yet. We're doing it right this time, that means input from all members involved. kaykay.
