too many new threads?

You know, i'm not sure if i should be posting this as it doesn't really have anything to do with starfox (feel free to remove this thread if need be) but it's kind of been overwhelming to see how many new threads there are and how many people have been commenting in them (i know this one doesn't help so sue me) does anyone else feel like they're being drowned in the conversation or is it just me? :wtf:

You're not alone, I was trying to find the "SOL needs your help" thread yesterday and it was like four pages back, even though it's only about a month old.

Here's to irony!

lol yeah. it's nice to know that someone else shares my pain of not being able to find anything truly important anymore

It's because people are starting to treat this place as a general SF board.

You would probably get better general Star Fox discussion at a place like Arwing Landing or StarFox-Online (Disclaimer: I am a co-owner of SFO), but hey, active people here means there is still interest in the project, which is a good thing.

true, but there hasn't been any public progress on the project for a while. i'd like to see more SOL and less OMGWTF LANDMASTUUUUUUHZ type threads :wtf:

yeah, that was pretty annoying...
i come here looking for some new screenshots or, if i'm very optimistic, a "we've finished it!" post, but all you find is some few guys arguying abut something, or people agreeing that "command does not exist"¬¬. and don't ask me something insinuating it does not exist because that is just childish.

Well, see we've talked about SoL all we can so now we're just going into general Star Fox discussion while we wait.

However, there is a solution.
The moderators could be a little more strict about the threads that are made. And we could just have one thread for general Star Fox discussion, which would be sticky'd.
Instead of making a new topic every time you want talk about something else, you just make another post in the general star fox discussion thread and give your post a title describing what you want to talk about.
This will cut down on all the new threads. :yes:

I'm starting to think that this is really what ought to be done.
Axem, DaBrain or one of the other moderators should go ahead and do it now. Or me, since it was my idea.

Also, there could just be one thread for any questions related to SoL.

I second DZ_Composer.

At first the rising activity was cool, there was many things to read every day.
Now it's just overwhelming and I can't even read everything.

I started to complain about that few days ago, but nobody seemed to care...

Arwing landing is crap, no offense to anyone who runs it. And the website is really outdated. If someone knows the person who runs Arwinglanding.net, tell 'em to update there links. If Sol is cares, the Shadows of Lylat page only has the trailer 1 link, and I also believe its broken. I also submitted my GIF's I made a while back, but I got no reply. Whatever.

Flaming Cobra, I feel your pain, but lets get something straight. I've had some of the best Star Fox conversations in these threads. I DON'T think that there should be a Star Fox section, but a general gaming section where people can talk about other games in general.

think about it

Topics always have a high chance of being thrown off topic at some point. I don't like limiting one thread to a broad subject such as SoL. It becomes even more frustrating when your specific thought comment or question is over looked because people are having their own conversations in one thread. Its good to try to limit that but some times you just need to make a new thread. It's okay to do that. Some times it gets a bit overwhelming when an overload of new threads are made yes. I don't think its such an issue to make it so there are limited threads. I also think that if you make a sub forum that is for SoL and then for Star Fox in General then complaints about having to check more forums will happen PLUS there will always be people that post a thread in the "wrong forum" that we have to constantly move.

In the end that creates more work for everyone than you just scrolling through going 'not related to SoL, not related to SoL, oo SoL Questions here we are!'

Having alot of random conversions are good for the community though maybe the anti-social Star Fox fans hate coming out of hiding just to look at SoL work might not think so.

I don't think this is a big deal, now I will address this problem.

There is no need to come up with a solution, there is already one in place.

Any important SoL related thread that is NOT already stickied on the forum such as the one you stated has a link to our official website. Come on people that's why I bought the domain! Use it! That thread is right there under the heading 'News'.

Support the use of http://shadowsoflylat.net/ I run it for you the community! I am working on expanding it for you the community.

So my solution is use the website.

Use it for what?

Uh... couldn't we also use the search bar at the top of the forum?

Use it to keep track of important SoL threads as Falco314 was having problems doing.

Okay disregard what I just said

Okay I will, because I assume you found the General Discussion part of the forum?

Thats general discussion, not a gaming section.

Seriously?


Um okay lets think about this.. you could Generally Discuss Gaming there because its a 'talk about anything you want' part of the forum.

If you have any issues with the forum and about the amount of difference sections it has, for whatever subcategories of GENERAL discussion you could ever come up with that need to be added, do not take this up with the SoL Crew but talk to the Gamewarden Webmaster.

That would be Mathewpapa right? er however you spell it...:nervous: PLZ DUN KILL MEEEEE!

Well its been fun, and I don't want to announce this in a never thread cause people won't like that, but I won't be visiting GA for a while cause of real life issues I'm having right now. I'm saying peace to everyone and I had some fun typing away on this forum. If I have the chance, I'll try to visit but I don't know if I will anytime soon. I will try to continue to spread the word of Sol like I've been and wish the whole team best of luck, Including Axem.



Later for now my nigguhs!!!!!

Oh my God people are leaving Game Warden and Shadows of Lylat by the droves
