TWC or the Org?

[Crazed Rabbit]

Whichever one is up.

I use the Org more just because that's what I'm used to, and the forum I started on. Both have their strengths.

I lurked this site for a while but then I found out about TWC and made an account there.
Don't really know why I like it more over there but I just do! :D

[Prussian to the Iron]

i like the community at TWC, but the mods there are incredibly stupid, ver-zealous and notoriously strict. whereas it is way slower here and the mods are great.


so basically, if you dnt mind being banned for 2 months for saying 'lunatic', TWC is the best.

The mods at TWC need to be stricter then here because the community is bigger, it would go bad if they didn't do it.

The lesson is to accept whatever penalties are given, rather than constantly try to get around it. People get banned for less here, yet people complain of over-zealous moderation at TWC. The difference is that, with a more mature population here, one is less inclined to misbehave.

And yes, if you try to get around your penalties again, it will continue piling on. Note the length of your suspension, and serve it.

i am not even going to go back to that PoS website. i keep getting banned for no reason(says something about an alt?!?!) then get pissed. so if anything, i might actually do what im accused of and make some alts just to piss off the idiotic mods at TWC. you can count on it.

Or you could actually - and I know this might be a very novel and out-of-the-box-thinking idea - behave friendly and in a mature way.
Believe me - it's simply amazing how that helps not to get banned anywhere.

But perhaps I am just talking crazy now...

True post, or true-est post?

Memes aside, each forum has its place, and the ones that are flittering between the two (pannonian) tend to be great contributors at both forums.

At any place on the internet you get members who you wish could be more constructive and so forth. I'm one of those to many people.

As for the rep system, its been given a nice view on either side, but I side with the 'its a good idea, but abused in reality.'

Until recently, the org seemed to be more reliable to stay up, but these are baaad times. Luckily, they conincide with my self exile from being online, as I am soooo very close to going over the internet limit (gets refreshed tomorrow )

Apart from that, people tend to form loyalties to their first. This will always be the forum for me, its got the people I know that are good to see whats going on (Strike FTS, CR, GH and so on)

Personally, I have accounts on both sites and use both.

As a modder, the odding community is far more active on TWc for M2TW, so I end up spending more time there. It's a different feel, but I have never considered the two forums to be mutually exclusive.

For some, there is the need to be 'part of hte club' .... but personally, I am with Marx on this ( Groucho ... not Karl ) and I would never want to join a club that would have me as a member!

You will get nice people on either forum, Trolls on either forum, as well as people who consider their opinion to be the most valid because their voice is the loudest. That, as they say, is life, and it reflects the mix you will get on any forum. Modding forums for specifc mods tend to get a more focused audience, as they all are keen to follow that particular mod...and I think the postings will reflect that interest.

General forums and 'Tavern; type areas will tend to attract a more diverse posting pattern, and more varied characters and opinions. If such things don;t suit, then stay out of that particular kitchen!

As far as moderating goes, I have never been banned form either forum, never been warned, threatened or whatever, so I can't comment on the 'mods' at either forum. I have a moderate amount of Rep over at TWC and Artifex status....which is nice because it is a recognition of effort gained through patronage and vote....and similarly had no problem getting a mod forum here and similar recognition around the modding forums. I feel sorry for DolGuldur and ANY modder working on the unseen essence of a mod, but have been fortunate to specialise in the more visual eye-candy stuff that makes people go 'Ooooh'...rather than the code without which nothing would go at all... but that is true on both boards. The casual fans love hte eye-candy.

Overall, I think there is no harm in having an account on both boards and posting where andwhen you feel comfortable. A third option on the poll for 'both' would have got me voting.Oh yes....and there are more petulant children over at TWC in proportion to its size, but it's easy to ignore them as the buzzing of a pesky fly.

Ultimately, I think whichever board you frequent, the experience you have depends very much on the attitude you bring with you.

You were nothing but a belligerent spammer during your stay at TWC John, I recall very well some of your massed agressive posts. You deserved everything you got while you were there, though it's good to see you've calmed down some.

examples?

anything said was provoked by idiotic 9 year olds who should be banned permanently. i did not spam, and their idea of spam is far off. instagibbed is spam. well thought out posts, whether long or not, is not spam. nor was i agressive despite your claims.

Your appeals alone were aggressive enough and done in a poor disrespectful manner. Your behavior in your appeals was hardly anything new as it was that behavior that got you in trouble in the first place. Mostly your posts generally consisted of one-to-two sentences containing poor punctuation and l33t speak with very little useful content. They were hardly 'well thought out' or constructive.

At the TWC I have openly disliked anyone who has joined after March 3rd (I regret it though). I just dont want to be part of that. The reason I stick with TWC is because I found it first.

And the sight of it is better. Everything here is set up with buseness settings and a blueish background. Is there really no way to change that? At TWC the option is at the bottomn of the screen.

Normally, there is. However, the forum recently went through a hiccup and we're still trying to get everything back to the way it was.

[Alexandros_III]

I didnt really mean this thread to be a full argument or discussion, I just wanted advice on whether to keep my old acount on TWC or to become a noob again and start here. But this is a better argument than I got there.

[Cute Wolf]

The org is more cleaner than TWC, and the orgah's are friendlier here...

TWC? I only lurks at them to read about some MOD that didn't exist here, but the MOD That exist in this org have deeper point of view...

And I didn't active at TWC because:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I forgot my TWC account

[Furunculus]

i've been here even longer than my current account suggests.

i'd did have a TWC account but never really used it.

[cambovenzi]

im registered @ both sites.
but i like the org better.
the lack of m2tw convo is killing me tho. (ever since empire came out.. =/)

i just went over to tw, and its a mess IMO.
the guides are all thrown in w/ everything else.
not my taste.

e/ ah. the other thing i wanted to mention is there are more experienced and more helpful posters here from what ive seen.
when i am looking for an answer, there is usually someone who knows what they are talking about here at the org.
i dont usually want to read through pages of two randos who just picked up the game last week, when i am looking for an answer or helpful information.

[Alexandros_III]

And it seems there are dozens of people who just picked it up last week. I agree.

[Viking Prince]

I started and am active on TWC, but I enjoy a quiet read of the posts here. Both have their members and habits are hard to change.

As others have noted, both forums are desirable. Both are fun diversions from real life.
