The Current State of Eyes on Final Fantasy

[Spuuky]

Why is everyone boring? I have not been here lately, so I require the input of you to figure this out. Has the obsessive political correctness of the administration crushed your wills? Did the new forum style pump subliminal "be boring" messages into all of you? Have all the interesting members merely been here so long that nothing is new to them?

There are other options, of course, but I predict people will attempt and fail to be witty in bringing them to my attention.

[KentaRawr!]

We learned how to spell "You're" correctly, and our boringness level went up from there.

[Rye]

I agree. Save about 6 or 7 people, most people have been hella boring lately. :( Very repetitive. Also, there hasn't been a Cloud No. 9 or a crashNUMBERS in the while to amuse.


Has the obsessive political correctness of the administration crushed your wills?

YES.

[Lost Number]

Yes, this place bores me. I have seriously considered posting a highly controversial link in a thread which would probably make Leeza not just ban me, but hunt me down and castrate me. Someday. Soon.

[theundeadhero]

Too many new people making repetitive nonsense because they think it's witty and new. An unstoppable growing memberlist where it's harder to find any connection to anything. The magic being spread to thin. Whiny cries for attention vs somethign funny or creative. Lack of a government willing to squash the mopiness because they want to appease all the members, not giving them something to rally on. Lack of Elitism, apparently.

[Christmas]

It is LITTLE MANUS that kills my boredom. :bigsmile:

WHAT ABOUT YOUR HARDCORE LOVER CLOUDSTRIFE4003?

[Roto13]

If only lovehurts and DeathKnight were still around. Dignified Pauper is banned, so there goes that.

Christmas, never post porn. We need you. ///_;)

[Nasarian Altimeros]

Then do something about it

[Captain Maxx Power]

It's only boring if you're willing to make it boring. If it is boring you're probably not trying hard enough to make it not boring. When in fact it's very much in a state that isn't within boring, or not boring, you've gone and made it so that it would appear that that is not that which is within not boring, in other words not not boring. So really what you should be asking yourself is not is it not not boring, or is it not boring and I merely see it as not not boring. Alternatively it would help if you saw is as not not not boring, which would solve the problem outright.

And yes, there's not as much Elitism around anymore. That's probably why.

[Cz]

Did the new forum style pump subliminal "be boring" messages into all of you? Have all the interesting members merely been here so long that nothing is new to them?The last one. Obviously I'm not one of the interesting members, but I can still safely say that the number of truly entertaining threads has hit a low as of late. Every topic has been discussed more than once, and there's no real innovation to speak of. Even the Ciddies have started to become repetitive, as a few people picked up on last time round.

Of course, I've got no right to complain, since you don't see me making a huge effort to revive the forums. But I agree with you, all the same.

[Rye]

I'd also like to add that even though EoFF has been rather boring lately, it's still more entertaining that most forums. We have some really crazy characters here. :bigsmile:

[Alive-Cat]

I concur. Somebody should do something about it. :-/

[theundeadhero]

Usernotes are really where it's at these days. It can be hard to hold down a subject for a good conversation, but it's like a smaller world with all your friends.

[Roto13]

I'm a member of a forum that has killed itself with it's own rules. It's actually against the rules to use internet acronyms. No "lol" or "wtf?" or anything like that.

Actually, I could have been put in probation for the grammar in that last paragraph.

[Cz]

Usernotes are really where it's at these days. It can be hard to hold down a subject for an good conversation, but it's like a smaller world with all your friends.Even better, just IM the people you enjoy speaking to. That's where most of my good conversations have come from.

[Captain Maxx Power]

Y'know it doesn't help I tried to setup a "Choose Your Own Adventure" thread, an EoFF Idol AND a Poker Tournament and people failed to keep said threads from sinking into oblivion. So really it's an all out thing. You keep paying attention to all the "what car du u ridlol" threads then of course it's going to get boring!

OK so maybe I'm blatantly advertising some of my threads. I have been involved in the last two major revolutions : Pirate Red Mages and Chin Patrol. I'm hip, I can do stuff like this. Look here's a moggle to prove it! :mog:

[Christmas]

We need the feedback forums.

[Shauna]

It has gotten boring here as of late, but, like Cz, I'm not doing anything to try and make it less boring, so I can't complain much. I actually find lately that my time online is becoming less. TV is more interesting than here, and TV sucks. :(

[Tavrobel]

The beginning of the school year is an especially slow time, no matter what forums you use. Fortunately for me, I have the SS and the KH forums to fall back on, as I expect a resurgence of newb questions at the release of KHII in Europe/Australia.

Until then, you just have to wait for the Ciddies/Elections/whatever Proto comes up with next.

[Shoeberto]

I'm disappointing in all of you for not recognizing that this is yet another one of our seasonal dry spells. Shame.

On the other hand, I can't say I care. My senior year, plus planning for college, and working a bit takes precedence over this place, and then when I have free time, I'd rather be doing things that are less like stabbing daggers into my eyes.

[Spuuky]

So far you guys are batting 1/19. You don't even get an A for effort.

[Alive-Cat]

If I do remember correctly this has happened once before in my time here, happened before that, and will happen again. It will pass. :monster:
Hsu is right. Let's stab daggers into our eyes.

[Tavrobel]

So far you guys are batting 1/19 2/19. You don't even get an A for effort.
Fixed. And I beat Hsu to it.

[Levian]

I guess the magic just disappears when you've been around for a while.

Cz brings some good points too. There's only a certain amount of times you can make fun of Jojo's height or Raistlin's age.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I'd rather be doing things that are less like stabbing daggers into my eyes.

Sometimes I just brim over with pride knowing the full and total commit our staff have to our community.

[The Devil Man]

This Thread depresses me :(

I am now officially retiring from making any more Posts or Threads. I done my bit to make this place seem a little amusing but I failed :(

So long people! *Feeling very sad now*

Not making any more Polls at all.

[Dreddz]

You should go down to the FF boards, its all fun and games down there.

[McLovin']

Or they got banned.

[Ashley Schovitz]

It has been a little dull maybe we need another crisis in the world to make an abrupt controversial thread about that would go on for 20 pages, or maybe some kind of new RP contest or writing contest.

[XxSephirothxX]

Personally, I wanted an inquisition, but that just didn't work out. I'm not sure how much my distaste for the forum stems from simply being here for awhile, but it feels like the people who post today and the topics that I read aren't nearly as interesting as they were one to two years ago. The entire feel of the forum seems very different. It's probably just me that's changed, but either way, if it wasn't for working for the frontsite I'd probably just stick to chat/instant messaging.

[Yamaneko]

I'm not here to serve as a means of entertainment. This is a serious community discussing the socio-political ramifications of the Final Fantasy game series. No one ever promised you otherwise. So really you only let yourself down and all the blame should fall on you.

[Strider]

You should be satisfied with the knowledge that you're smarter than the rest of us by not being here all the time. We all keep waiting for something to happen, I think.

[Christmas]

I suggest we all leave this place for a decade or so and come back. Everything in the forums will turn out pretty entertaining. :bigsmile:

EDIT: Anyone ever read at this (http://www.eyesonff.com/members/wiki/Competitions/Competitions) anymore? :(

But then the forums would die. And the wiki is a bugger to get to, since it was moved to the community tab.

[Leeza]

I'm kept too busy doing edits, etc. on this site to realize that it's turned boring. Has it turned boring? It's not boring on my end as you all give me a lot of work to do. :)

:cat:

[rubah]

I've been dragged down the monotony of SKEWL to be bothered with making eoff entertaining.

We should all have a John Williams Sing-a-long.

[Zeromus_X]

You don't know what boring is. If this is boring to you, then find some other internet forum to inhabit.

[Jowy]

Let's just find that Resident Evil board again and raid it.

*peer pressures Daniel*

[Levian]

Looking at your biography in your profile, Spuuky, you seem to have a lot in common with fellow member Christmas. ;)

[Reles]

This is normal. Most places will become boring eventually, you just have to wait for the entertainment to kick back up again. I don't think this place has ever been boring, but I've gotten bored of the place. That's why I take a lot of breaks.

[Skarr]

I agree, the forum (at least when I came back in august) has been boring compared to a few months ago or even a year ago. The only interest sometimes is the frontsite. And that's sad...but then again I'm not contributing to the whole "lets spunk up this place". So cry me a river.

[Decessus]

Well, I'm sorry if my post are about as interesting as the pimple on an amoeba's ass.
But if you want to get more fun out of this forum, all you have to do is lower your expectations to the point of nothingness. I can guarantee you'll be surprised.

[Old Manus]

Spend your time in the X-2 forum. There's always something cool kicking down there!

[escobert]

It has been pretty borringish in the forums for like the last year and a half :p

[fire_of_avalon]

You're just crybabies.

[Alive-Cat]

From reading every post in this thread, I can pretty much say with perfect clarity that the reason for the boringness is the absolute apathy that practically everyone in this forum seems to have against the impending doom. :rolleyes2

[McLovin']

I say we have groups.

[Cz]

With any luck the arrival of FFXII in the US will make things a bit more interesting. Who knows, I might even venture into the lower half of the boards again. But GC has been pretty samey for the past year, with a couple of competitions breaking up the monotony. It didn't exactly help that the elections were cancelled, either.

What I'd recommend is that members start getting together and coming up with ideas for events. IM your friends, brainstorm in chat or whatever, and then suggest your favourite ideas in the TiTS forum. A lot of good ideas never get off the ground, but with staff support I imagine we could put on something special. EoFF's at its best when there's something big happening, and people are posting so fast that it's almost impossible to keep up. I know these things work best when they're spontaneous, but I'm sure the combined populace of EoFF can put on a good show if it wants to.

[Alive-Cat]

Or we could, you know, cyber or something.

I know! We need another idiot to join and start a controversial thread, argue for ten pages, then get banned! That keeps me interested anyway.

[theundeadhero]

The messege is that the forum has too few charismatic members that post often, so it's fallen into general blandness. That's why it takes some new event or something else for any kind of excitement. It's too big for casual leasure activities, unless you do something for your own personal amusement, in which you hope others are amused by it as well.

[Quindiana Jones]

EoFF never bores me, but only because iI have a singing anus that sings "Burn the Bridges" everytime I log on.

An opinion, accurate? I think anyone else's opinion about your brother is just as valid as yours. The fact that you know him better doesn't mean much. It's not guaranteed that if people here knew him better, they would think differently. ;)

And I don't find "idiots" - not naming any names here - entertaining anyways. But maybe that's just cause I'm a mod. They're a hassle.

This place has just lost the novelty for me, that's all. It's like a big comfortable sweater.

[Evastio]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this place has become a lot more dull.

I agree. This forum has become a lot more boring ever since I joined. I don't know why though.

It's like a big comfortable sweater.If you don't know somebody very well, but have an opinion of what you think their like, since your opinion is based off knowing very little about them, it's unlikely that your opinion would be the same. You may like them more, or less, but it would most likely change. Their as valid as I am to state their opinion of him, but the actual opinion is not as valid, since it's based off knowing very little about him.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]

:) YEAH!

Well i´ll tell you what´s boring new members going to the FFVIII forum and make a R=U thread even after about 10 of those were closed!

I´ll agree that certain FF forum pages are boring because their are games and eventually you woný have a lot of things to discuss and so they might die.
But the general chat and EOEO are still up and running!
There are always members that make interesting threads...it´s true that a few minutes after they get banned but then someone else makes another thread of a man literally smashing his balls and everyone gets happy again it´s a cicle.:)

[Jess]

EoFF has been really boring lately. I used to make an effort to post in most new threads every day, but lately I've just been finding myself logging on, reading some threads and not bothering to reply and then logging off. :jess:

[Psychotic]

Oh gee golly gosh, we're not entertaining a guy who never posts here. Alright, that's it. That's the end of EoFF. All of you, go home. Go back to your loved ones. You're free now. I'm pulling the plug on this mundane nightmare.

And seriously. You guys are all pansies. :) I don't find this forum boring at all. Stop whining and do something about it if you think it's so bad, or just don't pop up every other year to post threads about how the state of the forums are degenerating ^.^

[Agent Proto]

Don't you guys worry! Screen Name Tournament is coming next month, and I will try to make it exciting, no? ;)

[Miriel]

The novelty of stuff is bound to wear off eventually. This happens with everything. Once that shiny new feeling is gone, you need to find other things to keep you coming back and keep you interested.

The whole CK thing is still new to me and that's enough to keep me interested.

[Fonzie]

When the world ends, EoFF will end with it.

I was thinking of un-registering and plunge into the pits of depression, or find another forum to burn some time on.


So you're saying this place has been better?

[McLovin']

Yes. As I have seen we have more members on at one time than most forums do in 10 days!

Then again I have only been to 4 forums.

There is one thing that would make this place better.

The pimp smiley. But that's just my opinion.

[edczxcvbnm]

I swore too much and everyone else felt the need to be a bunch of pussies to counter act my awesomeness. That is the REAL reason this place has been slowly turning into a /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif hole...or a black hole...maybe both so that when you get sucked into the black hole you are in a pile of /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif O_o

[Resha]

The /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif smilies look so ugly. Maybe they should replace the /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif smilies with a whole bunch of Kaos, instead. Maybe we should turn GC into Feedback. REBEL. Show 'em what we're all about. :cool:

Spuuky, how can we compare with your necessary perfection? In your eyes we will always be boring.

How is this any different when you were a (more) active member?

[Madame Adequate]

I just figured out how to solve all of EoFF's problems.

Needs more cowbell.

[Christmas]

Seriously, I dun see there are any problems in the first place.

[Levian]

Bringing Feedback Forum back is no good. If we can't have fun in General Chat, then it's only a matter of time till the feedback forum goes under, again. You might as well rename it Oldbie Forum if you're going to bring that back, because that's what it was, mostly. If we all start thinking and saying that EoFF is boring, then guess what, it's going to be just that, boring. I mean, I think EoFF is not all that right now, but it could get better and it probably will. And it's not like EoFF is terrible. Fun stuff do happen, there are some funny threads. So don't go saying EoFF is boring if you're not going to do anything about it, that's just silly. SILLY. Go eat a banana or something, and stop pooping at the party, even if the party is a little dry at the moment.

imho.

What inspired you to make this thread; why do you think the people of EoFF can't just live in ignorance of this impending doom?

We solve this problem by banning all mods and the people that support them...then we turn EoFF into a money making scheme to build a bridge to the moon that would damn this world to extinction. Then no one would have any problems here anymore. Problem solved.

[theundeadhero]

You'll need someone on the inside.

[edczxcvbnm]

I do but I can't divulge such classified information. We just have to wait till the rest of the mods turn this place into such a gigantic /xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif/xxx.gif hole that we can then rally people against them and take everything over by storm....with troopers that storm. Everything is being put into motion by FATE :shifty:

[Levian]

Please know when to stop, Spuuky. Psychotic pretty much won that argument.Know when to stop? What exactly are you implying? He "wins" because he can be more blatantly, repetitively sarcastic? Well, congratulations to him then. I had forgotten that things were funny because the people who said them have said funny things in the past.

You're the one making this about Psychotic, and it's really not. He didn't "win" because he was funny. He won because he made a really good point: Why should we care if someone who never posts at EoFF finds it boring?

[edczxcvbnm]

Because...he is correct?

[Croyles]

Stop whining and go to a different forum if its boring you.
Or hey, how about leaving the fun for REALITY.
And if you find yourself not being able to find it, you can take the next turn to a forum where mods dont give a damn, which can be fun:

You're the one making this about Psychotic, and it's really not. He didn't "win" because he was funny. He won because he made a really good point: Why should we care if someone who never posts at EoFF finds it boring?How does he "win" if his "really good point" doesn't contradict anything I said?

[Avarice-ness]

I'm really boring. :)

[theundeadhero]

Maybe because <i>he's having fun</i> at a "boring forum" by doing so?

[YTDN]

I kepe myself interested by deciding which member is going to get banned next.

[Alive-Cat]

Do you like Cricket, Spuuky?

[bipper]

Hardly anyone worth talking to anymore :(

[edczxcvbnm]

Do you like Cricket, Spuuky?

It is a well known fact that no one likes cricket. People only pretend to like it because of their friends...who are also pretending to like it. It is a horrible cycle of pretending!

Because apparently the point was you can't be right, no matter what you say. It's a very useful claim because it doesn't have to address anything you actually said. Argument ad hominem.

Y'all need to go out and eat some Oreo pancakes or something. Lighten up.

I think the only reason a lot of bitter oldbies stick around is so they can complain about how sucky this place is.

[Raistlin]

Even though this place sucks, I can tell you it's better than the old folks' home. *nod nod*

[edczxcvbnm]

Your just being part of the problem...only problem with that is that your not a consultant to cash in and make some bucks!

No. He isn't a tool :D
He isn't!? By golly, this is the last thing I expected to hear today! :barf:

[Del Murder]

I like the FFXI Forum these days. It's like a forum within a forum.

I didn't even see this thread until I got a warned post email about it, so it shows how much I pay attention.

[eestlinc]

oreo cookies are the most disgusting, putrid, lowliest of all cookies.

arguing on the internet isn't about being correct or refuting your opponent's points, but rather about being the most entertaining. Quite unlike real life politicial debate.

[Yamaneko]

stfu, bitch.

[Araciel]

[Miriel]

You people are not allowed to eat with me. Ever. :mad2:

Things that haven't been done in a while:

1) Forcing every newbie to use the chocobo avatar.
2) A decent spinoff board.
3) A melodrama over the way EoFF is run.
4) A relatively new member being Knighted.
5) A highly organised election.
6) A new (main, numbered) FF game being released in the English speaking world.
7) An eccentric character registers and isn't a second account. Bring Back General Zod! Newbies these days are too normal. Same goes for most (almost all) of us, to be fair.

At least we have the traditional "omg EoFF is boring :(" thread still going on once every 3-6 months!

But clearly, we need to start a spinoff elitist board leading to a massive bustup in staff and for a bunch of people to walk out and therefore Knight a few more people by way of a highly organised election featuring many eccentric newbies with awesome chocobo avatars who joined because FFXII just got released in the US.

[bipper]

EoEo Awareness month!

Edit:
I second the WTF to the destruction of EoTW. (after Ed that is)

[edczxcvbnm]

BoB...I will step up this time and run the spin off board....also the reason there is no bitching is because you guys canned the feedback forum...and world events forums. Forums that members loved. Look what you all have done. Where has all the drama gone?

EDIT: I swear...I typo because I suck.

[Peegee]

One can argue that Spuuky, not liking the forums, can make it fun by posting en masse about things that interest him.

Spuuky would argue among other things, that such actions do nothing to improve the situation as the problem lies with the new members (and many of the old members he dislikes), thus solving nothing.

He will then go on to argue that PG is speaking on his behalf and he thinks nothing of the like.

Then chinatown ninjas will start breakdancing to polka beats.

[Del Murder]

I think a good ol fashoined staff rift is just what the doctor ordered.

[Ouch!]

Those are always quite amusing. Who are you gonna ban this time?

[Del Murder]

The good ones never lead to bans. Just the staff taking shots at each other in LJ, AIM, etc, leading to one or more 'leaving the internet forever'.

Maybe I should start planning the April Fools prank. I thought of a good one a while ago but I forgot it.

Hydrox >>>>> Oreos.

In fact, I think that to improve EoFF, we should censor "Oreo" with "Hydrox".

That's what I was referring to. "Banning" Kishi was a stroke of genius. It's those kind of things that make this place fun. Even if it did piss people off, it was brilliant.

Something went wonky with the db and I am unable to restore it. I shall probably have to put it all back together again; if you would care to, you can check it out once it is set right. :|

[Loony BoB]

I don't think Red Wings was on the same level as other spinoff boards such as Something?, Aiyon (in it's first era) or Eyes off Final Fantasy. It was more of an LJ spinoff than an EoFF spinoff from what I saw.

[Madonna]

Mentioning it in a LJ entry or three does not make it an LJ spin off, chocobo. That's called inviting friends.

You would be hard-pressed to name one Red Winger who did not come to EoFF.

Oh, geez, let's start some drama.

It's on.

I just never saw it as a major EoFF spinoff board where every single oldbie in EoFF registers at it or anything - although then again, neither was Aiyon (but of course, Aiyon even got it's own non-EoFF members which was pretty neat). I didn't even know RW existed until it got put all over my LJ friends page. :p

[Madonna]

I didn't even know RW existed until it got put all over my LJ friends page.Maybe I am not a spamwhore? And is it not a major spinoff if you are not involved? Bleys was on staff and Linus was a member! Is that old enough for you? Prestigious enough?

Not that "oldbies" matter much, as most that fall under the heading are dead, forum-wise.

[Loony BoB]

I stopped posting at EoFF altogether when I was at Aiyon. :D

And is it not a major spinoff if you are not involved?
Of course it isn't.

Bleys was on staff and Linus was a member! Is that old enough for you? Prestigious enough?
Old enough... not sure on prestige, it doesn't really count if they aren't active at EoFF, does it? Although a Retirement Village spinoff forum would be kind of amusing.

Not that "oldbies" matter much, as most that fall under the heading are dead, forum-wise.
That's not true! We have, uh, Hsu! See? SEE????? Haha, eternal twelve year olds.

[theundeadhero]

I haven't posted at Aiyon in forever, but I posted here and there at Red Wings.

I hope you didn't prune my account! It would break my heart if I lost my Arial signature.

I still find this place interesting, but I would agree that the site staff are getting a little over-exuberant. You guys are probably just bored because you've been on here for a long time. I'm still fairly new; I'm not bored yet.

As for spinoff forums, The Hoff was awesome in its first week or two, a thread containing nothing but a Wasim Akram picture? You bet. (Kyono then deleted my thread, and remade it himself with the new title "Because I cant let Reine have that honour")

Btw BoB, did that EoFF Land idea get scrapped? The one with all the countries etc, that random members of EoFF were assigned with no say in the matter xD

I was looking forward to that :(

We also need more elitism. I totally agree with the chocobo newbie avatars!
