Re: You know who I miss
Personally I think that areas such as the Backroom have almost no link to the game whatsoever - I've not played any of the games in well over a year as RL impacts more and more.
I value the backroom as a discussion forum though, and wonder if there is a way of trying to get a more generalist interest in this specific area.

I returned here shortly, and it seems I left in a great string of loss. It is a shame to see that so many good people have left us. I would add in a moment of silence, but we need all the conversation we can muster.

That. And there is plenty of fresh blood, org keeps attracting interesting people. Do really miss AdrianII's precision-bombardments though, the clever bastard peels arguments like an onion.

Re: You know who I miss
Help me here...
If I understood it correctly, the backroom is where you discuss politics and stuff? It's a pet hobby of mine...
However, I seem not to have access to that part of the forum, eventhough my new cool "member" status... Can only senior members access it, or what? If so, I guess there is no big question as to why it seems a bit dead, and that few/no new members show up there.
Few are born with it, even fewer know what to do with it.
Re: You know who I miss
You just need to send an email to the admin, TosaInu, and he will give you access.
At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

I must have missed where that was clarified...

Actually, you go into your profile and click "join groups" or permissions or something, then you apply to the Backroom.

So many guys to mention. All are missed.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: You know who I miss
I agree with that, especially when it comes to covering issues where the papers purposefully have a bias. Though on some issues, that bias is a good thing.
Would be amusing if the Org did a newspaper though as a possible one-off and have different members contributing different things. Though it would require some one with some layout experience.

Re: You know who I miss
I still have not figured out this backroom thing, this is getting intriguing...
TosaInu asked me to sign up at: https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/profil...editusergroups
I did so, two days ago or so, but since then nothing has happened.
Is the group really inactive, or am I doing something wrong here?
I must say, I did not realise that it was a private group, given it is linked in the forum in just the same way as this frontroom. The plot thickens, I guess... Now I really start to wonder what evil schemes is lurking in the very hard to reach backroom...

Re: You know who I miss
It takes sometime for Tosa to respond for the sign-up request, I think. He's a busy commie, I'm afraid. But I love him, you see?
It keeps him busy, yes it does.
Re: You know who I miss
I doubt TosaInu is involved in the process, from the looks of it :)

Re: You know who I miss
Its the backroom mods.
Send an angry PM to CountArach and just ask if there was a problem in approving your application to the Backroom.
He's a nice guy, he'll help you out (plus he is a moderator for the backroom)
And if he doesnt? I'll bug him on MSN for you.
Re: You know who I miss
I believe either admin (Tosa, Ser Clegane) usually approve applicants. Which can take a while as they are often busy.

Re: You know who I miss
I asked for permission into the backroom sometime ago. I never got a confirmation that I was allowed in. After a few days, I just tried to enter and I could.

Re: You know who I miss
Why do new users have to apply for access to the Backroom? It doesn't sound too healthy for the forum in my ears.

Agreed, trolls and jerks don't get past junior status anyway. It isn't the pits of hell some say it is when compared to, well everything else.
Re: You know who I miss
Its more that its an opt in. Some people don't want to.
AFAIK theres no application process, its just not visible by default.
Re: You know who I miss
Then they can simply not visit it.
I think it is to hide it from guests, CIA agents or other random visitors, due to heated discussions.

Re: You know who I miss
I gather that, but I think it would be more beneficial to the site if it you rather had to opt out. The Backroom is already "hidden" at the bottom of the site anyway.
