View Full Version : What do you think of the .org?
You have read it.If you dont believe the .org is a good place, please tell us why do you think that and what (if you were forum admin) you do?
You've made the poll public, bad idea. :beam:
Edit1: And there's no GAH! option.
Edit2: Can we do this again as a private poll, or can a mod/admin change it to private, otherwise it's meaningless?
Edit3: Also considering it's a poll of orgahs, and most likely to think the org is the best, which makes the poll pretty useless.
Edit4: Ok I've already got my coat...
I voted It's a good forum, because some members don't but Gah! or pr0n in the polls, a forum can only be good if that is in every poll ... so I can vote it ~D

This is a great forum but TWCenter is awesome too. Saying that this is the best one would belittle the Center.
I voted it as the best. It's the only forun that has held my attention this long and one could always say that TWC comes a close second..

I voted "it's a good forum". I don't visit any other TW forums, I registered an account at TWC but never stuck around. It might be the best, but I wouldn't know.

This poll is obviously going to have a biased sample.
It's best in community, but could be better in looks. However can reassure you that I think that this place is the best, despite what I have been saying recently about re-vamps. I only say that this place needs such a vamp is because more (modding) Orghers are needed to improve the amount of hosted modifications and threads we have here. At current we only have a few compared to other sites which is very sad :san_cry:
Its a good forum, the best tw forum however TWC easily beats the Org for the full package...IE. website + forum.
TWC has the great downloads section, good articles, great looking website, features such as podcasts, it has the eagle's standard and the list goes on. It seems the org's site is hardly ever updated except for when ER posts his, albeit great, mod updates.I mean that featured site has been up for ages and links to some german clan I've never heard of.
I think the org is a forum with a site, TWC is more the whole deal. Personally I've deliberatly set my .org toolbar bookmark to go straight to the forum, my twc one goes to the website.

I reckon this is the best because TWC has not been as good as it was before, plus this is awesome fun! Arcade,Wbsite and forum. Plus if you do not like the look, change it!
Haven't visited TWC in ages (and i never bother with the website side of things) so i think i'd be just a bit biased :P )
If I would have know no one voted No I would have just to be different.
It's the best forum I've ever been on. :2thumbsup:

pretty much the same for me, but I don't visit the other TW forums, I mostly come here for the backroom anyway :laugh4:
TWC really bugged me, not a nice place. So I came here.
TWC I can't comment on as I'm not a member there. From browsing there occasionally in the past, I would say that it's not really my thing.
TWC I can comment on. I am a member there (sort of, I am a peasant, whatever that means :san_undecided:) and it is just not my thing. It doesn't have the simplicity yet complexity that the Org has. So no skins or fancy options on how you view it. There is default and nothing else.

Don't mean to bash to TWC but I've lurked there a while and it is incredibly hard to navigate, the republic seems like a glorified hierarchy, and there seems to be a lot talked about yet not a lot said there.
This place, however, is a breeze to navigate, a very tightly knit community, much more relaxed, a more friendly place, quite informal and an overall, wonderful atmosphere.

I'm not the most active member here but it seems to me that this is a very nice place and probably the best out there.

This is the best. Although I have about 2000 posts and I am a Civitate too at TWC, I don't like the fact that it's not such a tight community like this one, and I hate all that Republic stuff. Waste of time.

You know how extremely biased this is gonna be, right?
I mean, this is the .org. What do you think we'd answer?
Having said that, while I stick around a few forums, this is my nice, cozy little internet home. (Having considered that I have no MySpaces, Facebooks, or geocities to call home ~:) )

Now, if this thread was around a year ago, I would have been rooting for .net instead of the .org, but since .net is gone
of course I would say .org. I hate to bash other fourms also, but .com is way to strict, and TWC isn't tight. Like that "come for a few visits and go" type of fourm IMO..
Too many camels...

And here, we have our own quasi-culture. Who else understands the significance of camels or a young texan named Strike for the South? Orgah is a cultural distinction, not just a name for someone who belongs to a web-site based on a real time strategy game.

Subculture is a true dictionary definiton for this. :bow:
And this pretty much describes The Org 's distinction. People who have a lot in common and like communicating with each other can build such verbal webs. Eventually, .Org rises above any other. ~:)
Oh and I "pwn" around here... Wha ? You talkin' to me ? You talkin' to me ?! :san_cool: :smoking: :san_cool:

I'm fairly new, been posting a bit here and there. I've been on TWC and I do not like it there. The org is so much better. Everyone here is awesome. It's not the prettiest but looks aren't everything you know.

I agree that the .org is much friendlier than the .com and TWC. I used to hang out on the .com when Shogun came out but luckily found this place through MTW and have stuck around.
The .com = No freedom to express myself
TWC = the place to browse for the newest mods
The .Org = The place where I can ask questions and discuss TW in a relaxed manner.
It also seems to me that the Orghers are more mature than on the other forums

@Warluster : .com: the offical totalwarsite is www.totalwar.com. With the .com they mean the forums related to the offical totalwarsite.
:bow:
This board is great. People are good, friendlier, and also relaxed as said by NightStar. And I've just seen I've become a 'Member' now, hah hah.

From a modder's point of view - and quite frankly I rarely visit forums other than the modding ones - I would rank the Org as the best TW forum.
It's modding forums are more active than that "other" site :) despite the latter's greater numbers of registered users (I believe). What is more, there are a greater number of active and more skilled modders that post at the Org and this is reflected in the research threads too. The forum is also more organized in layout and has things categorized and listed well. There seems, as far as I can tell, a more relaxed and less "political" atmosphere at the Org than other sites which adds to the friendliness of the experience.
Admin keep members posted about changes and down time etc. and the skin (not the Christmas one!) is good for clarity.
