Not that I know this community too well, but from what I've seen and from my half a year or so (give or take) of lurking before registering, this community seems to be a very "free to do as you please whatsoever" type with the backing that "censoring" and "punishing" is wrong. Rules and moderation are just about nonexistent. Freedom is good, but the lack of those two things drove this place down, and trolls and flaming thrive. Spam section are never good ideas on forums (IMO). I will admit though, the problem semms to be a BIT better than when I first started lurking.

I think a new modern forum board would change things around here.

I use the white default theme that Crimmy had enabled a while back when the forums were having issues. Its quite a bit better than the green theme in my opinion.

It should finally get finished this year and named Roleplay2008 then (and please, a .mix again!). I mean the dev team takes almost as long as the Reborn dev team ^^.
For the full mods, Reborn, APB and Renegade-X will survive. TBH, the last one could be the first one to be released as a final. Maybe C&C Farcry will survive too...
Yes, times have changed. Technically, it got better and better. Renegade is at its highest state now. Some good people on this Forum left, other are constantly bashing on others who aren't 100% familiar with grammar, who are thinking separated from the mainstream etc.
I loved to read about ACKs' comeback. The forum has become very quiet over the last years. On the other side I miss the big final things like the long-awaited RG1.04 and a CP3. What annoyes me, are unfinished projects (even I have some and I am working hard on them) for the community. I don't know much to write about in the next Ren Universe status report which I usually release every May...

I find it odd that people are constantly saying there is zero moderation, when I know that me, Crimson, and Gozy moderate DOZENS of posts EVERY DAY.
Crimson created the spam forum in hopes that people who just have uncontrollable urges to post pictures of LOLcats and the like can do it there, instead of us having to constantly delete and move their posts from the serious areas of the forums. Yet the spam section seems to piss everyone off, by its very existence?
Anyhow I can assure you that these forums are actively moderated. I personally log in first thing in the morning, a couple of times while I am at work, and several times during the night before I go to bed.
Granted, there is probably a bit more "horseplay" here than there used to be, but like I said, all things Renegade have been rehashed a thousand times already, so all there is to talk about is the current active mods, rumors, etc. If everyone were not allowed to swear, say "lol", or joke around now and then, they wouldn't bother coming back.

I feel this may be a bit directed at me since I was the one to say it.
I don't know how much or how little moderation goes on. I guess it would have been more appropriate to say little SEEMS to go on, which can be both a good and bad thing, depending on how you see it.
As for spam forums, that point itself could be a debate of it's own. I'm not bothered by it's existence. I was just commenting that, IMO, I dislike them based upon what I've seen of them elsewhere. If it's worked for you guys and has cut the spam levels in other forums, then go with what works for you.

I don't think people should be judged on their grammar, only on what comments they give.
|
I disagree. If a person truly depend on his or her reputation, (s)he'd actually make an effort on grammar.

Hmm, I decided to return. All of you may rejoice in my second coming! (Well, more like fourth, as I've abandoned this place more than once before...)
Anyway, yeah... 5 years and this place doesn't seem to do anything but degenerate into a cesspool of idiocy. I guess that's why I always come back to watch its slow, painful death.

I didn't even know you were gone!

This forum will not die. As long as the few forumites (who play the game) breath, this forum will too.
EDIT:
Yeah, missed ya thought you were gone or too busy. Do you also bring tidings of great joy?

I know, it doesn't die. That's the best part of watching it die. Every time it starts to dwindle, there's an influx of trolls.
I tried to just ignore the forums. I figured I'd see if there was any noticeable degeneration, but it's about the same. I did manage to move out of my parents' house during my absence, though.

Yet another troll to return =/. I'll be watching you.

This proves I'm a troll, how? Stating a fact hardly proves that I'm a troll.
If you're focusing on the "best part of watching it die", then perhaps you should work on your comprehension of the English language. Never did I imply that I try to speed up the death of these forums. Merely being a spectator doesn't mean that I'm an active participant. In fact, if you weren't so blind, you'd see that it's been my attempt for several years to help piss off the trolls to run them off these forums.
Edit: If you'd pay more attention to the Heated topics, you'd see that I'm nowhere near being a troll.
whoa.

By "trying to piss off" trolls, you just feed them more argument. The only correct way to react against trolls is to ignore them and report them to the moderators.
And my knowledge of the English language is sufficient to understand that you actually seem to find it funny watching these forums "die", as you state it.

I've been playing on n00bstories again lately, the game is still somewhat fun but I rather play CoD or Forza 2 on my 360. I'm just waiting for Tiberium to come out it will be nice to see the CnC universe on the unreal 3 engine other than RenegadeX (which will be awesome.)
