An improvement I would think is useful, is a trash bin section to move threads into so that the forum isn't flooded with stuff that is not necessary. Perhaps an admin can then sort through the trash and delete to create a more clean, efficient, and less bandwidth/space hogging enviroment.

Refer to the NUMEROUS threads on terror shield, they can be merged in one or moved to trash. It has been proved fake and people still want to post those threads.

As for Modding, I think you guys do an awesome job. I haven't seen any particularly offensive/vulgar material and fake information is usually shot down by older members (Something I am grateful for).

BTW, I love how this site permits outside links and load images, which allows the forum to have a good art place and sell forum.

The auction system is even better than RPGtraders, but the problem is there is not enough publicity

RPGTraders isn't better, it is just older so more people know about it.

Anyway, There is a REASON why GWGuru is a good site: it is because it is subject to change for the better. Some sites haven't been updated since betas...

The only bad thing (as with all good things) is other people wanting what you have. I think someone should find out how to secure the server better so idiots that are angry of being banned will not be able to launch attacks against the server. A firewall maybe? :/

P.S. You should sue the idiots that launched the DDoS attacks if you find out (or ID) who is responsible.

I think Stamps is fairly accurate in saying the PvP aspect of GWG will never reach total potential, no matter what changes are done to facilitate otherwise. The people (not all, but some) who contribute decent PvP topics on TGH do nothing but mock GWG by posting nonsense and false information. >.> GWG is good for getting a heads up on what's going on in the realm of PvE, but it's the last place I'd look to find an in-depth discussion/analysis on anything PvP related.

<3 the site, but some bridges have been burned.

A site feedback thread in the Riverside Province? Isn't there another forum for that

. That nerf bat is awfully close again Inde. I promise that that was the last joke. I cross my heart.
Yes, Inde, I will never ever go against my superiors again.
*Chris_nin00 Cowers in fear*

^My last statements show why I'm still here. We have a super duper great extraordinary staff! Without them, I wouldn't be here typing and wasting my life away. They love my cracks and don't want me to leave. Right...
Thank you staff!
I also agree on the overzealous mods; not the zealous mod in Guild Wars. Especially that Savio... hehhehehhehehe... What a stallion. Just joking. I think they are doing a fine job of keeping the forums clean. Now our job as a community is to clean up after ourselves so the mods won't get too zealous.
*Pats every mod on the back. Passes Piexags*

.
We need better enforcement of the rules... I think you guys should make the rules more easier to find. Here's an Idea: When people register, show a big link showing posting rules! Isnt' it a great idea? chris_nin00 rules! Throw it up for the spam-- excuse me

. Oh, it already has it? Oh forget the idea then. Just make the link bigger. Onto to the real meat.

This site is the shiznit! You wanna know why? Here's a list.
Things that make this site the best(I like lists)...
-Auction system. Sets the bar over every other fan site. We as a community are truly 1337(The combination of numbers hurts your eyes, doesn't it?)
-Great community. There are a lot nice people out there reading this post. I've seen worst crap anywhere but here. You guys are funny talented and intelligent. I love the comics, articles, suggestions and builds we make! A-net loves us the most.
*chris_nin00 pats you on the back for a job well done*
-Organized. All I can say is that this site is easy to navigate. All the other fansites I went to were all cluttered up. I don't like cluttered up stuff. Another reason I favor lists.
-Updated regularly. Inde likes to stay on top of things nicely.

About the new server...
Looks like a new monster we can have fun with. Animated avatars anyone? Refer to my animated avatar thread in the site feedback forum for more info. Join me and together we can get avatar justice! Don't start to throw flares at me yet. Hear me out on this next suggestion.

The slowdown was probably caused by me overspamming. Excuse my out of controlness...
*Gets flames*
Save me mods! Save me!
"Don't worry!" yells an unrecognizable mod in the smoke of the fire, "with the quick use of the smite button you'll be back up posting in no time."
*Cleans up the flames*
"Thank you, whoever saved me! I really owe you one!"
"Oh, don't thank me, young chris_nin00," says the unrecognizable mod, "It's your loyalty to the site that keeps us and this site going. We need you as much as you need us.

"
"Thank you," says chris_nin00, "I'll see you around."
The mod flies away into cyber space.

Now time for questions from the audience. I'm Miss Cleo!

Dracus,
I had the same problem as you. We should have subscribed threads! I demand it! Bring out the pitchforks!
Hold on there Dracus...
We have a system like this already. Here's how you can do it.
1. Go to the thread you like.
2. Click thread options at the top of the thread and choose subscribe thread.
3. You can access subscribed threads from the controll panel.

Anymore?

Then my post is done here...

Happy new year guys

^2nd quality post of the day.

new page!!

ok, here's a suggestion for your auction.
I haven't actually used it for more than the occasional price check browse, so maybe I'm just not hip to how it works.

right now there are about 1500 combat items divided up into various categories, and I'm sure this number will grow in the future.

what I would like to see is a little more organization so I wouldn't have to scroll through 5 pages to check on a specific type of item, but at the same time I wouldn't want to see a hundred mini-categories to search through.

the solution?:
part I
when you create an entry and fill out the item description, maybe you could implement a dropdown selection of titles for the item:
ie
axe
sword
sword upgrade
caster weapon wand
caster weapon staff
caster offhand
misc
etc...

these titles would autofill in the beginning of the field containing the item description.

part II
implement a clickable sort by different categories on the main item list.
so, I could then just do an alphabetical sort.

"use the search!", you say?
well, I could do this, but if I want to see sword upgrades I would have to a fair bit of searching, as i don't know if it's under sword, upgrade, or if the entry is 'sword pommel', or whatever.
if things are sorted alphabetically by titles, I can hop around by section pretty easily.

I think this would really help in the future when there might be 10 times the combat items you now have.

ps

here's another:
would it be hard to fashion the auction after the skill list?
what might be cool is if you could click on an item and enter a post about it just like in the skill listing.

I love this site! The few flaws it has aren't even worth me bitching about, really. Some days I actually spend more time browsing here than playing the game! Sans the DDOS attack which seems to be over with now, Guru has always been faster than gwonline, and considerably more organized.

One thing I really want you to add is a Paypal donation button! I don't block ads, but I don't click on them either. I'll gladly contribute a few bucks here and there to keep this site going. And I'm sure plenty of other folks will too. Hell, it's not like we're paying a monthly fee for the game.

For all you do for the GW community, we at the very least should be able to give back.

Keep up the good work!

I originally came to this site for in game information, maps, and this one seemed to have some of the best information and looked the most professional. I got into the forums about a month or so ago and it has been alot of fun to participate in discussions about the game.

I cant think of anything that would need a major change in my mind (but I have yet to completely go through the entire site

. The biggest change I would like to see is the updating of some of the armor and weapon compendiums (but thats probably in the works).

Manic Smile · Jan 05, 2006, 05:42 PM // 17:42

I would like to see some kind of trade off with Guildwiki.org as they have no forums and they have the better game info...sorry if this offends anyone...I really love this site but I rarely leave the forums.

Seef II · Jan 05, 2006, 08:47 PM // 20:47

Great site here.

News travels fast and this seems to be the place I hear about things first from. (SoA axe, IDS, etc.)

Katari · Jan 05, 2006, 11:09 PM // 23:09

These boards are more free than some other major GW forums, and I love that. I keep comming back because unlike some other boards *cough*GWOnline*cough* I can edit my posts, and *gasp*, link to outside sites.

Dracus Steelbow · Jan 07, 2006, 04:17 PM // 16:17

Thx Chris ^^

Xyc0 · Jan 08, 2006, 08:20 AM // 08:20

I wonder if you are going to close this thread...

Symeon · Jan 08, 2006, 08:31 AM // 08:31

The reasons why I use this site over all others:

-news on the main page is very quick from Inde, /applaud

-lots of interesting articles to read

-if something's happening that I need to know about, it's brought up very quickly in Riverside

-Sardelac...I agree I used to spend more time on it and probably will in the future, I love sharing ideas and commenting on them, especially the more lengthy ones.

-Lyssa's Fiction...since I love writing, this is the place where I have been RPing recently and writing.

-Screenshot Exposition is good, people bring out some nice pictures for discussion.

-Nolani has had some very interesting and applaudable art in it.

-I hardly spend any time in the 'Halls of Knowledge' section but I'm sure that it's great.

-other forums not mentioned are good too.

-the community here is so great, how they discuss, improve, get to know people they wouldn't otherwise, and learn things. The people are just really nice.

-the mods do a good job, I applaud them for their effort.

-Inde works very hard and I appreciate his and his colleagues' efforts to continue to make this site better and be an outstanding fansite.

-probably more to say but I can't think of it just now.

DeathDealer · Jan 08, 2006, 08:39 AM // 08:39

I do really enjoy this site as it has the most info and some great, hard working, dedicated mods. Excellent job Mods
