How curious. Are they doing this while we're typing right now? All my bookmarks just went invalid.
-Pretty much.
When I logged on there was still a seperate 4E FR Forums. Then presto chango ala-ka-shamz its all one FR Forums. So the Question is when is the change going to take place for the Eberron Forums?

(sigh)
It's gonna take forever for me to dig through this....

They already have. The Eberron forums seem to already have been consolidated too.

-Thanks for sharing dude.
So just go and rub salt on the wound. I guess this is what they meant by "the merging of two worlds!" No offence wrecan, just leave us alone so we can get used to the new set-up, instead of coming in here saying I told you so.18D

Are you trying to say Cthulu has re-organized the forums?
This must be like how Toril felt when Abeir forced a merge. Soon there will be cerulean flames everywhere!
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
Yeah. I feel they just took the SpellPlague to a whole new level. The map has been redrawn.
Ok, if this is to be the "Forgotten realms General" board, is it planned to have FR boards that aren't general?

Pray to the new master, before it is too late. :coolcthul
[thread=1030993]It's not like you weren't warned![/thread]
Thanks. This reply made me laugh.
Indeed... its hardly a surprise by now. Though I didn't laugh. My only real concern is that its going to be very easy to miss questions being asked before they sink to the nether regions of the page count.
I was thinking the same thing.
I guess they're done with dissenting opinions, LOL.
They probably got to overwhelming for them
I guess its time we all went to candlekeep
Man, I was confused.....it took me a minute to find the threads I was taunting Lord Karsus.
-Did you find them?
Man, I was confused.....it took me a minute to find the threads I was taunting Lord Karsus.
Why attempt to find?
Start anew!!
New land, new laws!! Karsus must be taunted with thin sliced pizza, cut in triangles. When he gropes, toss a deep dish square slice in his face!
Fork and knife!!

you play a dangerous game, my friend, Lord Karsus is power incarnate

Um...no. He is lore incarnate. Which, while I respect it , it may just drive the man to madness. And...hmmm...doesn't that sound familiar?
Karsus and I have had our discussions.
I'm deep and he is thin. We're both aware. Though, I doubt he would put it that way.
I'm deep and he is thin.
-Very true.
I must also admit that I do not like this board structure either though.
Candlekeep has some technical problems, the Vault, nobody posts there
That's why everybody should start doing it, we need to build momentum. After that it's easier.
Was getting nothing but a white page the last few times I've tried to head to the vault. Nevermind, worked that time...
It's probably the server. Sometimes it has strange quirks. When the contract finishes I'll see if I find a better one.
Consider how the fans of the other worlds besides Forgotten Realms & Eberron feel. We have one board for our world, they have 1 Board for all of their worlds combined, now that REALLY sucks.
I must also admit that I do not like this board structure either though.
There's a perfectly good set of separate boards for (I was going to say all, but it's not correct) many of the worlds TSR or WotC have published under the name "Other Roleplaying Worlds".
I'm not convinced the current arrangement is desirable, but until 4E material starts getting published I'm not sure there's a sensible alternative. I hope it'll be the amount of traffic a board gets that determines whether it's split, although it may be a matter of waiting for the Campaign Setting to be out.

But there is no significant increase of Hard Disk use with more sub-boards, they are just a line in a database table. So I think they could've waited until 4ed was released to do this.

I think it may be a matter of getting it done now before they have a lot of new users. The only people they're upsetting with this are the existing users, and not all of them are too bothered (look in the character optimisation board for their views
). If they get a lot of new users with 4th Edition, then altering the boards after they join would be a bad idea. I've been involved in running a few forums and bulletin boards, and you don't want to be making big changes when there's an influx of new users.Candlekeep has some technical problems, the Vault, nobody posts there
CK's technical problems seem to have improved, and I didn't find them to be so intrusive that I couldn't participate.
Everyone has a different level of tolerance for that, though.
I said that this move would be it for me, and it is. I've considered all the people I've met here friends, even the ones I fought with a lot (if you can't argue with your friends, who can you with?)
@Rinon- See you at CK
@Alediran, LK - see you over at the Vault
@Rich Baker - Sorry I gave you so much crap. You placed yourself in the un-enviable position of "4e Spokesman", and took a ton of heat for it, mostly undeserved. Markustay must be stopped... and now I have, as promised.
To all the "Regional Administrators" working on LFR - Fight the good fight. ;)
(And maybe I'll see you at EnWorld)
To everyone else, including those of you from the 4e boards I never got to know, I wish you the best of luck. Have fun playing 4e - I mean that. Its not for me, and I don't want to hangout here spoiling it for everyone else.
Enjoy --- Mark T.
-I guess this is what they meant by "the merging of two worlds!"
Excellent young Skywalker.
To you Delta, I pass on the crown of Sarcasm.
@Rinon- See you at CK
See you too.
There are other forums with the same amount of traffic and no problems whatsoever.
Why did FR have its own sub-forum for combat and equipment? What about the ridiculous overlap between the people & places forum and FR general?
It's different now, yeah, but it works just fine, and it's worked fine in other very similar places.

I agree with you that there was definately some room for consolidation.
See you too.
I'm hoping to see you at the vault too.
Candlekeep has some technical problems, the Vault, nobody posts there
For over a year now, Candlekeep has been experiencing technical problems of the sort that include the now infamous "ASP Scripting Errors."
I just like to remind most of the scribes here that we're attempting to deal with the issue. In fact, we're hopeful that the upgrade to Forum 2 software [later this year] for Candlekeep will eliminate most, if not all, of the problems we've currently been experiencing.
Until then, we ask you to remain patient.
I'm hoping to see you at the vault too.
Thanks. I'm registered there, but haven't visited too often. I'll probably head over on a more regular basis now.
Later Markus... can't decide if I'm going to be joining you or not in my absense. This place is getting really aggravating of late, and I'm not sure I need the tension in my life at the moment. I'll give it another week I guess, then decide whether or not I think its worth sticking around.
If you left, you'd be missed.
People don't like change.

-I was in favor of consolidating things, but from six sections to three sections, not six sections to one section. One is too little, for the massive amount of information out there, and the massive amount of information waiting in the wings.

Yeah. Just because things are slow now doesn't mean they will always be.

That's exactly the separations I made in The Realms Vault, for FR discussions I made 3 boards: General, Magic & Gods, People & Places.
And I'll use this oportunity to announce the creation of a Campaign Blog board, a place to post your adventure's story.

Actually, considering the amount of players who are turned off by the 4.0 realms, one forum may in fact be all we need.

Yes I am.
I was at Robin Sage (some role-playing training with Special Forces) for 2 weeks. It Suck! the first night alone we had to ruck all night through brushes with no light, briars everywere, temp on the 40s, and we are swating too so it felt even colder... Special Forces>Drow:
Good to see we agree on something after so long.
And by the way, that's no way to re-enter a forum..stand back kid..let me show you how a pro does it...
Beaware....I live
Special Forces>Drow:
QFT
and after Robin Sage is more like: Wha.....I live?;)
Who the hell is Robin Sage?
It an event when you role-play with SF guys and you get train by them in all sort of thing and you go to "missions".

So basicly what you're saying is...The Seals would 1 shot 1 kill the Drow without question?
Yes I am.
Well, you'll be a better man for it. Unfair and uncivilized treatment is what you grunts live for, so stop whining! :D
but I don't wanna open that can of worms again Well, you'll be a better man for it. Unfair and uncivilized treatment is what you grunts live for, so stop whining! :D
I know I know.... Oh yeah we didn't ate in 4 days in a row too. ;)
Yes. but this is the real equation. Seal>Drow, SF>Seals
Yeah dude, who in the right mind would take up a sword over a gun? Throw a 10 year old who knows how to pull a trigger and aim somewhat decently vs a samurai of the greatest legend. My money is on the kid.
I know I know.... Oh yeah we didn't ate in 4 days in a row too. ;)
Well, you were a little on the heavy side anyway....
Well, you were a little on the heavy side anyway....
I was! I lost only 4 pounds but I'm sure I lost more than that in fat and gain in muscle mass :D
See? Your that much more of a hardass now. :D
