    Nice sig you have there... linking to a.. umm.. fansite? The initial post made here is old and Cz has since been working with us on doing things to get life back into the fansites. That starts with moving some of the forum traffic to fansite forums instead of the official forums. If you dont like fansites and dont visit them, thats your decision and loss, many others like them and visit us and find what they need. Think about it next time you visit Anarchyarcanum for instance to look for a guide

    For anyone wondering if this is true, please go to stratics and check out their forums. Most of the AO forums have nothing but a small hello from Meister. I believe I counted less than 10 posts from this week. I think there may have been a recent wipe of the boards, but even before this, there was very little traffic.

    Meister, we have had dealings in the past that I'm sure doesn't allow for my thoughts on this to hold much meaning to you. However, I have to hold you personally responisble for making this happen. Because of ego, you have destroyed the best bulletin board for any game on the market. Now your site will get what you wanted. Your ego, and not a love of AO, brought about your involvement in this decision.

    I only hope that in return for this act, that you get the absolute least from this. That 6 months from now, you still have no one coming to stratics.

    I post this here, because with your nazi-like rules on moderating, this post would be deleted quickly on stratics.

    No, it would not. We dont have nazi-rules (please watch what you are using though since that is very much offensive). Instead our ROC are tailored so that our community can be sure of not being spammed with hate posts. You may hold me responsible for this as much as you wish, but you have probably read the article and see that Cz did not do it for the fansites. That we get a bit more forum traffic now is an added side effect which is not that bad.

    This is exactly what I am talking about. How could my statement be offensive to anyone. "nazi-like rules". Offensive to who? Jewish people? I would hope that any sane, intelligent person of the Jewish persuasion would find nothing in that statement to be offensive. Of course, if you mean offensive to any nazi's still alive, well then so be it. After killing millions of Jewish people in WWII, I'm sure they expect a little verbal abuse.

    But I'm glad you are helping to make my point. I'm guessing that a statement like that would have been deleted? And why?

    The last thing we need is some super ultra politcally correct moron having the say on moderation (not you specifically). I can somewhat understand certain things not being allowed on FC's official forums. But what happened to a little freedom when it comes to fan sites? These were originally the place to go to get out from under the strictness of an "official" forum where all ideas could be freely discussed. Of course rarely do you find one that allows a total free for all. But "nazi-like rules"? C'mon.

    Comparing forum rules to nazis or generally using this word in regard to the situation at hand here, is very much tasteless and unneeded. You make yourself look like an idiot with statements such as your last 2 here. Chose your words better when you want to criticize things.

    My past experience with stratics was never really favorable. The forums are heavily over moderated. They may be different moderators, but they all follow the same line ... if it even hints at potentially possibly offending someone, the post is deleted. Its not corrected ...but deleted. So anyone following the thread is lost. Usually I've found stratics behind and slow loading. It has been some time since I've been there, but I doubt they've changed considering the posts here.

    Splitting the community, forcing them to go to fansites to post if they so wish will likly just have people quit posting except for those looking for a flame. Stratics will delete the posts, so their forums should be dead. I don't know baou the other fan sites. I feel its a big mistake but so be it ..it won't be FC's first.. they have a habit of taking bad advice for other's personal gain.

    The only stratics branch that I've seen do well is UO stratics ...and I havn't visited them in a good 3 years or so. I think Stratics has branched too much, but thats not my buisness.

    Fansites shouldn't get special info from the developers, they should have to find it on their own like everyone else. The bonus to fansites is they cna get a lot of submissions and have good quality info out for others so people don't have to compile their own. Now I see stratics wanting favors? whining that they arn't getting a map? Map it out on release if you want it mapped. you got the people to do it. You'll still likly have a map before anyone else.

    Na·zi
    n. pl. Na·zis

    1. A member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, founded in Germany in 1919 and brought to power in 1933 under Adolf Hitler.
    2. often nazi An adherent or advocate of policies characteristic of Nazism; a fascist.

    Please note the final word in Dictionary.com's meaning for the word Nazi: a fascist. Please learn that many words have not one meaning, but two. Sometimes three. You still did not reply to my question about WHY it is an offensive term, or who should be offended. I believe I chose my words just fine when describing my feelings about what I believe to be your form of moderating.

    I am, however, glad that you are having this discussion with me, as people will have a chance to see what kinds of things will be deleted by your forum crew. Even if you insist on calling me an idiot.

    Oh, and just for fun, here are the thesaurus entries for Nazi:

    Synonyms:
    absolute, authoritarian, autocratic, despotic, fascistic, monolithic, nazi, one-party, oppressive, total, totalistic, tyrannical, undemocratic

    My personal favorite for this instance is opressive. Doesn't it suck I know how to cut and paste

    I have to agree with Meister on this one, J.

    The term "nazi' is very offensive, and although you intend to use it in a non-literal way, its best to avoid it. The invocation of the term Nazi is inflamatory to many.
