It's about you!

@foxUnit01:

@FriendlyFire:

Only point I’d have to leave out is with the MOTY/UOTY. How could we stay neutral, yet rate mods? If the public decides, the mods with the highest amount of members will always win. It’d be a touchy subject, don’t you think?

On this, I think a PlanetQuake “mod of the week” or “mod of the month” is in order - in the old days of Quake 2 at least, a mod was chosen as MotW for random reasons. It couldn’ve been a new mod doing something cool, an older mod being brought back to life, etc. For all intents and purposes, the mod selection might as well have been random, but it was a great way for reletively new mods in the scene, or old mods being resurrected, to get some well-earned attention.

I don’t like a user-voted MotW because, as you said, it is nothing more than a popularity contest. I’m sure many are willing to argue this, especially since mods are usually popular for a reason, however I really view MotW as a chance for un-assuming projects to hit the major spotlight and get more than just a passing glance.

(also, on a side note, the “quote” button is a bit wonky, at least for me - it seems to do the whole thing in a completely seperate page)

I much prefer that concept and I agree it could be a nice thing to do.

As for the Quote button, I’m well aware of that and am looking into fixing it

What about a Freelancermap?

Since Arbiter.de is down I dont know a web-map, except the one of the station-network.de, but the page is in german:
Click
The map is in english, so you may could ask for permission to use it on Starport, however, I also searched for the autor but wasnt able to find an e-mail or IM address.

You may could ask at our forum, maybe our “Big Bosses” know an answer

Btw, quote is still not fixed ^^

I also miss a spamm channel here >_>

of course you do ^^

Maybe add a user string for xfire user names? It is a quite popular programm and used by some members here.

? I mean an additional user string in the profile so you can add the xfire username there

Like here:
http://41399.rapidforum.com/action=profile&id=60
(last string)

But eh - You got me to an idea, will create a global FL Xfire group & chatroom

Ahoy
OT Aurora on Xfire
Youtube Freelancer Group
Incase someone wants 2 keep in touch and stuff…

Greetz,
Mörser out

I wonder…are players interested in “play info” about mods? Such as where to find which equipment (even though this can be easily find out with FLDS), systems?

Maybe we should work out a survey to recieve more feedback from players what they want at SP?

In order to get voices at that, server OPs might could cooperate by giving players a little credit sum for participate in that survey.

I mused that it shouldn’t be difficult to program a parser for mods (activated, xml script files would be far too annoying to deal with) that could parse the files and then output, in html, with appropriate linking, all the corresponding information for the mod (maybe with db inserts and queries etc).

I think I mentioned it to Op at lancersreactor.org a month or two back. That way it can create a web-based…repository of information for mods.

Is that what you meant?

Yeah, such a thing.

But if you don’t know FLDS you should surely try it out to see what that app can do:

Screenshot gallery?

Maybe random hints on the left side?

What about for linking the logo to the homepage or the forums index?

I hear a lot of people talking about building an ‘inclusive’ community, blah blah blah…

There are worthwhile suggestions being made, at least to use as talking points for possible developement.

But…

I see the same old bigotry cropping up again and again…

TLR was the first FL community I joined, more than 6 years ago, for most of those 6 years it’s been the ONLY FL community I felt any need to be a member of.

I wasn’t part of the ‘rift’. never understood it, and frankly have no time for it.

But I do feel insulted every time I read some “StarPorter” slagging off my home community, in the name of what should be a dead quarrel.

Shambolic? Need to rehome all the mod dl’s? Implement a weblink embargo?

Let it drop., TLR exists, accept it, it has an FL modding community, they play FL like you, they mod FL like you, many of them use this place too, like you.

Attempts to replace TLR, to take over what we do, to pretend that we don’t exist will just make the rift worse, and divide the FL community.

If you’re gonna “Talk the Talk”, then you have to “Walk the Walk”, otherwise its just hot air…

LET IT GO…

We don’t pretend TLR.org doesn’t exist. For the record, we’re not the ones that have a censor on the URL and name to the other side. That’d be TLR.org.

Here’s the thing. I do go and read TLR… mostly for laughs. Because the straight truth of it is that there’s nothing really worthwhile there. I read threads where the TLR.org members are discussing some concept or idea that we’ve… already covered months, or some times even YEARS ago. TLR is the one pretending we don’t exist, not vice versa. If you find us ‘slagging off’ your community, It’s only because when you look at it objectively… there’s NOTHING of value over there. I’m sorry if you don’t see it that way, but that’s the long and short of it. The people holding this riff open are largely over there. The people perpetuating this conflict are, again, largely over there. I’m not saying we don’t have our own few trouble makers, but those are members. The people on ‘the other side’ that cause problems… well, those are staff members.

There’s a huge difference between the opinions of staff (which becomes policy) and the opinions of members.

I’m not saying that any of this conflict ISN’T petty. For the most part, it is. But objectively the largest part of the burden of this issue rests squarely on the shoulders of the TLR administration, plain and simple.

TL;DR

We don’t pretend TLR doesn’t exist, they pretend we don’t exist. It’s largely irrelevant to us because there’s nothing of value to us over there anyways.

It’s Israel and Palestine my man, no amount of peacemakers and diplomats will ever change anything and there will be those who can never let it go.

Personally, as someone with no responsibility, I just don’t take it seriously and find it mostly makes me laugh. I really love it when OP loses his rag and starts dribbling and snotting all over the place. There’s no show quite like it in the freelancer community.

Before you say anything, I already know I’m not right in the head!

But I do feel insulted every time I read some “StarPorter” slagging off my home community, in the name of what should be a dead quarrel.

As a matter of fact TLR.org hasnt been mentioned at all since the last “clash”. We’ve moved on since TLR.com went down in like 2007/2008. So, who cannot let it go?

Yes, I PM’d you but only because I saw your insulting comments on TLR.org and wanted to clear some things before you make a rage post over here. Didnt really work I figure…
