Sorry, just had to get this out of my system. I've never seen it like this in all of the years I've been in the scene. Where did everybody go? And I can understand perfectly that real-life priorities take place, I have them myself, we all do, but this is just ridiculous. And sometimes I really work my ass off, especially when I was going to school and working at the same time. I still had time to visit the forum and post, and hack on the side. It'd be nice to get some inspiration from other people's hacks once in a while, like we used to get all the time. Oh well.

There are better ways of spurring activity than posting this thread for the [2-digit number]th time.

As for the reasons, that's history. Out of all the places that could be considered as triving in the ashes of Acmlm's Board, SMW Central is the only one that's significantly more active anymore.

I'll give this thread some time to see if anything constructive comes out of it, though I doubt it. Other staff: If you think this should be disposed of, be my guest.

Well, I have some ideas on how to get it more active.

- New banner (who wants to come to a board that is "a miserable little pile of drama")

- Perhaps a new board layout.

- Put the name out there. When I was a member of TEK Hacks, me and 2 other people, got everything organized, and a couple months later, TEK Hacks was booming with activity. It then became that big place you knew it to be. It was me, Chaos Force, and Chill Penguin, I believe. Too long ago to remember exactly. But we pulled it off.

We need to advertise the name Acmlm's Board when we go to other forums, blogs, web sites. Put it in your sig. I know a lot of people don't like advertising, but how else are you going to get people to come?

How does anything ever get popular? Word of mouth. When you spread the word, people will come to see what it is all about. And I don't know if we have a main site or not, but if we don't, we should really get one.

It can be done. We did it with TEK Hacks, it can be done with this site too.

I do.

- Perhaps a new board layout.

That wouldn't increase activity at all.

Well, if somebody bothered to make one...


- Perhaps a new board layout.

Go to "edit profile" and pick any of those available.

PR... would require somebody who is adept at it to pull off.

Okay, that's fine. Yeah, it's humorous to us, but to outsiders, people who have never been here before, it may turn them off. I know I wouldn't want to go to a board that might have a lot of fighting on it, hence "a miserable little pile of drama." We want to keep the banner positive. Something like "Having fun since 1999", or something like that.

No, it wouldn't, but it might help to put a fresh coat of paint on, if you know what I mean. And since we have layouts already selectable, perhaps we should should make one of those the new default.

As for the banner, I'll make one. I have no problem with that.

I would like to go to any board with tons of drama.

Lowering yourself to calling a member sad rather than moving on with the actual topic sealed the fate of this thread.

Re-opened since it's a good idea, and Logical Operand promised to get back on topic. Maybe I was a bit heavy handed.

One, it's not "Acmlm's Board 2" anymore really... Two, are you trying to make a point by making the banner look like it's 1999 too? Needs moar Web 2.0.

edit: There's really no necessity to apologize for something as minor as calling somebody's habit "sad".

Thank you Tyty. I apologize for saying that, and I have edited my post.

EDIT -

blackhole89, I wanted to keep it retro, and simple. But, if this is not satisfactory, I can make another one. As for "Acmlm's Board 2", I didn't know, sorry.

I feel the banner could do with a bit of...

uh, maybe just a little less red stripes paired with gray stripes?

I've got no other ideas, so don't ask me.

I took the "2" out, but if I were to put a background in, I would have to start all over, because filling in would reduce the quality of the image.

He means that it's not Acmlm's board, therefore "Acmlm's" doesn't belong in the banner.

But then why do we call the message board 'board'? Maybe if it was something a little bit more descriptive, it would attract the people we're looking for.

Okay. Well, what do you guys want to be the new name? Or, can I be creative, and come up with my own, and see if you like it? But the fact that "Acmlm's" doesn't apply anymore, means I have to make a new banner anyway.

EDIT -

Here is another banner, with a new name. I need some opinions on this:

We aren't all about ROM hacking you know. Just because that's what you mostly do doesn't mean that's what the rest of us do.

board2 is a fine name for now, and it would be up to the staff whether the name is changed anyways.

baord? How about re-reading after you post for errors. I'm done trying to help here, because it seems like you guys could care less. Now you can close this.
