Thanks Fadeus. Your right though. A lot of people do not bother to look through the pages of history for a certain topic, they rather just post a new one. Which is understandable. Depending on the date of the original topic, it's usually left alone if the original is old enough. With the recent EQ2 & Wow "Wars" however, staff and community were getting frustrated with the repeated topics and continued heated discussions. So we approached these differently.

"When you find yourself sinking into Madness, dive"
Just wondering what you would talk about in this elite board? It seems like people are content with having everyone registered on the site comment on their posts. What fun would having 4 or 5 people see your post and then getting only one or two comments?

No, Kiamde, it would work like this...the boards would be open to read by EVERYONE. Posters would have to be HC/Elite, maybe even as low as advanced, to post there. The big thing is major discussions are usually responded to by higher ranked users, but the "crap" posts then bury the discussion to page 2 or more. New users are going to post what they want to post, and there's no stopping that. However, it *does* interfere with more serious discussions higher ranked users are trying to have.

Thats what I am saying. Not all low ranking members are "crap posters" and these "Elite/HC" threads would be boring since like I said, won't have many posts due to the low amount of elite/hc posters.

You've been doing a great job, Malk. All of the Mods have. Keep it up. Keep this idea fresh in your mind though, because I'm sure it would be enjoyed.

From some of the posts across some of the forums, looks like this still might be a good idea...*hint hint* *nudge nudge* say no more, say no more
