That I have been lurking this forum for five years now, I mean seriously I still check these forums everyday, even though I don't play Renegade anymore and have no care to play it. But it also makes me realize what a shit hole this place has become, I barely find myself posting here anymore unless it is to insult someone with poor grammar or a skewed life style. I wish we could go back to when posts discussed the next new level design or mod coming out, the way it was before Aircraftkiller went bonkers on us. But it won't happen and this post will inevitably sink to the bottom of the page and disappear under a mindless pile of crap.

I don't think anyone can disagree and mean it. I haven't been here for as long as you although I did have another account here 6 months or so before I registered this one. I think the main problem is the lack of any new people that register here and have reasonable input. All I see is new people making useless points that aren't even worth thinking about let alone reading or replying to.

I honestly do not think there is anymore that is going to come out of this community unless it starts supporting a different game.

Yeah, it's exactly stuff like that that helps to send this joint right to hell.

But you do have a point. It seems like every second topic devolves into who a has 'more of a life' argument these days, with each post crammed with such biting wit like, "LUK IN TEH MEEROR" or "you = FAIL at life" .

Get rid of spam section, delete useless posts right away when they appear that have "you = fail" etc... stuff with them, and ban all the idiots, and you have a much more mature community.

That and the community becomes smaller. The only thing that's going to save this is either

A) (more certain) Renegade 2007 (Or Renegade-X as they are known now, I think)

B) BHS or similar get the engine source code

Yeah I think those two options are about right. I'd love to see W3D get the source code, so BHS can renew this engine.

But if not, option one is always available.

I find most hate messages on the forum stopped when the Spam forum went up. They just all condensed into that one area and the rest of the forum started "flourishing" (for lack of a better word) again.

Yeahh. It's annoying seeing the trolls be free and happy. It just gives people the impression "HEY LOOK! A FORUM I CAN TROLL, TOO. LOL TIEM TO SHOW DEM MAI INTERNETZ SKEELZ!11".

Even though I havn't posted here too much in the past, I have also just lurked here aswell. It's annoying how retarded people have become as of late. And the majority of the "NO U FAIL" is because some faggot starts some shitfest.

Example:

trooprm02: LOOOOOOOL U MUST BE PREEEEEETTY GOOD IRL!!
some random person who's better than troop: Yes I do you faggot, and having to constantly say that shit just proves you're probably a miserable lonely little faggot.

Then the shitfest ensues.

So I'd say the root of the problem is the people who start it all. How the hell rocko's topics get FIVE FUCKING PAGES FULL OF BULLSHIT IS JUST BEYOND ME.

Seriously, the banhammer needs to start being laid down. Getting tired of this shit.

I couldn't agree with you more, I am in about the same situation as you, I normally only post in the political forum and even that is a fraction of what it used to be.

Hey! I never went bonkers.. I just wrote in all caps and made witty, sarcastic replies to everything because I was annoyed with people here moreso than I was before. I just don't care anymore now, that's the only difference.

Yet when any new people do register, and say "Hi", or pretty much anything, they are greeted with "STFU n00b" and the like. The community complains about lack of new blood, yet the reject newcomers.

Pretty much everything Renegade is old hat to us by now, so any point a new member makes is deemed "useless" and they get flamed.

It's a vicious circle.

i agree with some people....someone new comes...and then all the people here have to say is talk shit...or say something rude as i saw in the mod forums someone already was calling a new guy a bastured and etc then we got a few guys who don't get along and fight in the post.....and spam section is bad as well ppl post topics everywhere and expect it to be moved to spam forum.... and then the fighst break out and etc...


main point is

people need to stop spaming-
people need to stop fighting-
people NEED TO STOP BEING ASSHOLES!!!!-
get to the point answer the questions with manners and respect and everything should be ok in my eyes

1. Empty spam section so people see their post count go down
2. All forum users that want to see something done should start using the "report" function. Only 2-3 people actively use it at this moment and then it's usually only when they get offended. Do know that we cannot follow every single topic (though we're trying our best). I can't believe people still are complaining that no sanctions exist for people crossing the line. There have been 4 temporary and 2 permanent bans due to excessive behaviour in the last 3 months
3. Do not read the spam forums and heated discussion forums if you don't want to see ... spam and insults. It's so obvious, yet not done
4. Enjoy renforums.com Smile

Viva la Resistance!
You should implement the smartness system they use on Facepunch forums. It gives everyone a number, positive or negative, based on how good their posts are spelling and grammar wise, and can be influenced by what other people rate you as. Don't quote me, but I think people with a low enough smartness (something like -1000, considering you can lose 5 for each word spelt stupidly) are auto-banned!
It makes for a very good forum for a game where there are a hell of a lot of losers.
But yes, since I joined this forum has only gone downhill.
Edit: But the projects that are going on are certainly going uphill! I intend to buy UT3 soon for RenegadeX and Canadacdn, shouldn't it be about Roleplay8 by now? Razz I remember the days of BETA2!
