Forums → The Tavern → (Nostalgia) Was AG better before?
1018 | 159407 |
Hello. While I was exploring AG-based Xats, I've met several unactive/banned/"old-school" AG Users. Most of them said that, one of the main reasons to their inactivity here is that the site was better before.
Is that true?
How better? They say that the threads had more quality back in time.
Well, I can't tell if it was. I joined June 26th, so that's not too much knowledge on our awesome site...

I bet ten billion dollars that the majority of threads in AG3 will be (when it's released, "Do you like AG3?", "Do you hate AG3?"....etc.
Don't forget "Where'd all my AP go!?!?!"
Don't forget "Where'd all my AP go!?!?!"
That will also be spammed on the mods profiles aswell...
I sense AG3 being a complete failure to say the least
Don't forget "Where'd all my AP go!?!?!"
With all the whining that comes with the newer users. I think the vets are unfazed given that AP really means jack squat to a majority of us by this stage.
I still don't fully understand why "necroing" is bad. Revived threads aren't like zombies with decaying corpses. Just a thread with an old (I mean OLD) OP.
Those threads died of for their own reasons already. Also, necroing might be bad since it might be a duplicate of more current threads and mess up the Forums.
Nice point. And, oddly enough, Old quality threads can't be saved, or they are considered "Necro".
I'll be hopping mad if my 30k+ views writing thread gets wiped.

I would bet twenty!

I can even imagine the forums filled with those. *shudders*

Not necessarily a failure. But I'm starting to think that it will take a long time to meet my expectations.

Uhh... that means you'll run-the-world again?

Well, therefore, necroing things would be allowed IF they hadn't any recent duplicate. But the mods still use the padlock in them. Making a new thread these days about a quality theme from the past is asking people to ignore the quality, intelligent posts from the old one and focusing on making new, probably not-intelligent and spammy answers

Who wouldn't?

No, it just means that we don't really care how much AP we accrue.

And how many people are willing to read through hundreds of posts? You can already see that some of us refuse to read one of your posts already.

Honestly, I read through maybe 2 or 3 threads a day, I used to look through atleast 20 in each section... Today's threads are just so stupid.

Coming back again to the lack of users and general longing for the old days....just in case the mods lock this.

Not gonna lie, I'm totally advocating a forum wipe, barring some sections, i.e. historic threads in general regardless of section, stickies, active AMW threads, active forum games, the WEPR needs to be erased.
I used to have a record of significant achievements, but I got rid of 'em a while back.
The AP question is going to have to be addressed for those users who stick to games and pay no attention to the forums, I don't doubt that it would easy to not known anything about v3.

AP will be for game achievements in AG3.

And your point is?

We can always hope that v3 will add an influx, or if not v3, the various breaks that are coming up soon, and then a few months after that, summer.

Pretty soon, some mod or staff member would create a sticky regarding what happened to everyone's AP.

Nobody knows what the point is, but we all know it will be awarded for game achievements.
