I think we can definitely attract people to a place where they can talk about anything hmm, that must cover stuff that each person wants to talk about ey

sex? ........

[Friðbjörn]

if that floats your boat yes

[Ravynlee]

we just need to open a general forum nothing too specific imo

i dont care what the forum is about but the one thing that really made LPF special is that we had an amazing community spirit. Everyone just made jokes and we had a real bond. That is long gone though. But i want that back

Agreed. On both points.

 

And as far as being worried about attracting numbers to the site (if it ever happens) I don't see as an issue. We're not in it for the numbers, we want a new place to stretch our proverbial legs. If it stays alive and strong enough people will come, the same way people came here, and word of mouth don't forget. I just hope Chris can figure something out and fit it into his busy schedule. Hope his enthusiasm doesnt go the way the owners here apparently have...

 

And while we're brainstorming here, if it was to be a general forum, what about proposed names for the place? Any ideas? Just curious is all... see how clever y'all can be

[GraDoN]

yeah i dont care about number of members, i just want a place where if we wanne change something, it happens. Not where we have to go on a manhunt to find the owner and even then he does nothing

[HaziLPTonz]

i think that even though we are saying we dont care about numbers, numbers will play a big role in the forum make up, numbers means that if someone cool leaves than someone cool takes their place and such, it means if members do leave, the overall feel of the place isnt lost since there are other members,thats the problem with the LPF, we're losing great members and there isnt really a turn over to replace them in the same vein as a few years ago, iv said all along it isnt the fact that LPF are losing members, its WHO we are losing, forums are built for people to come and go as they please, but when we start losing institutional members who post alot and built the atmosphere and noone is able to replace them, thats when a forum starts dying

[Ravynlee]

Don't care about numbers myself, it was in response to a post on the previous page.

 

But in relation to that, like anything, it's about quality not quantity. A room full of morons doesn't equal one decent member and visa versa.

 

Damnit I just want to see some change.

[Friðbjörn]

I dunno what I want, except I want back the feeling of joy being online when there were a lot of great people online doing fun stuff...I mean I remember spending hours here at a time...even on like a friday night, just hanging around being silly in weird threads in the game section or something

I want something like that again, or at least the atmosphere of how LPF was like a year ago...

[Ravynlee]

So... no new developments yet? Anything? Anything at all???

[GraDoN]

im writing exams, so i cant do anything :<

[Peterdea]

I only have time to keep up so my input hasn't been given... I jsut hope soemthing happens soon.

[woodyloveslinkin]

This forum is like an open forum to me about anything. I know I haven't been contributing much but am trying my best to keep up with what's happening but what's really sad to see is that not much has changed. I remember the old days of LPF where if you missed out on checking what was happening on LPF you fell behind in what was happening, like the new threads/posts. I just miss that I guess. But now there's nothing to miss out on really nowdays which is kinda reflecting on how active we are as a community, really.

Just to let everyone know, my friend James has offered to help me set up a website, and I talked to him about it and a forum is easily a possibility. So I plan to have it set up before Christmas sometime. Anyone interested?

I've been trying to follow this thread - but has a subject for a new forum been chosen? Or did you have something in mind?

Nothing in mind, I'm going to see where it goes, but so far it's looking like it will be general since I know a fair few people who hate Linkin Park that are looking for a forum to go on, adn they always ask me if I have found them a forum yet. So I'm going to make it and I decided while I'm at it I'll invite LPF to join.

I'll keep everyone updated as to the progress, but it should be all good before Christmas.

[Friðbjörn]

I'm up for it

sweet, just ask for help if you need, graphics or something

making a forums seems to be easier than i thought you simply buy the vBulletin program and from there you customize it, as far as i understand you need some knowledge about it though. But you dont start from scratch. Then its just hosting costs.

I've paid for the domain, it will be at http://www.stateofnormality.com. as for the forum, my friend is going to set it all up, plus he will keep a close eye on the site and help when we are in need.

Graphics would be cool, but I'll probably get into that a little while after I manage to get the site started.

just to throw this out there. mods have been working on something.

I'v been planning to make a site for a long time, really what I'm doing isn't me saying "Here LPF this is your new home!"

My site is more dedicated to what I do (or will be) and there will be a general forum attatched to it so anyone is free to come and join up, it's just that it won't be a fully dedicated forum site, it will have other things on it as well.

we are also doing something like that but we will be lp friendly in a way

[Ravynlee]

I don't really mind who starts what where pertaining to whatever, I just want to see some much needed change. I'm happy at the thought there appears to be at least one maybe two projects in the works. Good. Bring on New Year I say. New Year, new changes, new place. Looking forward to seeing something... something positive of course

Thanks guys (collectively)

[azemkamikaze03]

were gunna kinda keep this under wraps...but this will hopefully be a fun more streamlined "thing." if it launches well its definately gunna be something ull wanna be apart of ;]

 

and were trying to make this site making process as...democratic?...as possible...definately a suitable replacement for this site...a

[woodyloveslinkin]

Let's introduce post moderating in the new site

> resolution to the lack of mods available to confirm posts

= get more mods

(and scrap the elite status's as they are pointless anyway and half of the elites aren't even on)

 

I'm sick of the spammers on here.

If anybody has been part of LPF's sister board (and the most up to date site for music news non-LP and LP) LPA you would know the first 50 posts are moderated. we just need more mods to mod the site. That's my own opinion.
