Help Devil Man Make A Forum

[The Devil Man]

Devil Man needs YOUR Help My Good Friends On EoFF :eek:

Very soon he is going to be creating his own Forum. In January it should be complete and he is instantly gonna get at least 400-500 Members because he is gonna PM all his other Friends on all the Other Forums that He Also Uses.

Hopefully they will all come :)

And in this Forum there is gonna be just ONE Moderator.

Devil Man :)

And Devil Man ain't gonna moderate it. :tongue:

He is gonna allow ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING :hyper:

He is gonna allow swear words, abusiveness, harrassing of other members, links to porn sites, flaming, absolutely EVERYTHING he possibly can. It is going to be IMPOSSIBLE to get Banned from Devil Man's Forum :roll:

It's not complete yet, but when it is, it will surely be the Greatest Forum in Internet Universe.

Devil Man's Topic of Discussion is...

Ergo...

What makes a Good Forum? :)

Give Devil Man some advice so he can take your suggestions on board to make his Forum the Best anywhere at ALL :hyper:

[I Took the Red Pill]

Why would you need a moderator if there are no rules?

[iwillnotbebanned]

No, and just to let you know this account has lasted 2 posts more than my other second account.

[Bahamut2000X]

Ah the joys of anarchy.

[Laugh at face of Danger]

Sounds like I wont be joining you, not even for caramel chocolates, which I love. It's those sole rules that stand strong here on EOFF that make a forum what it is, making them obsolete is just....idiotic.

EH?! It's a cheap shot at getting banned!

[Martyr]

Devil Man, I can see the fear in your eyes. It's like green thunderbolts.

Don't let that fear overtake you, simply because the weak have fallen.

Never again will I participate in another series of hateful exchanges with DMKA. But, even still, it isn't your job to die for the likes of him.

And running away from the threats that will cause strife for others... I mean, What Kind Of Person Are You?

[The Devil Man]

Nah, I am just wondering what makes a Good Forum a Good Forum.

Tips would be handy for when I get mine up 'n' runnin'

[Martyr]

In that case, people like a strong, centralized theme.

But at the same time, the theme has to be broad enough that it allows a lot of room for discussion.

For example, this forum has Final Fantasy as a Theme, adn it has lived for years because Final Fantasy is centralized, even moreso that Squaresoft and moreso than Video Games in general (So we're all alike in some way).
The dude from FF Classic started his own forum once, which was solely based on FF1, and not only did it eventually get wiped out, but it wasn't very happening anyway. I mean, once you've discussed Knight vs. Ninja for 5 pages, what else is there to talk about for one 80s nes game?

So...
1. A centralized topic that unites and atteacts forumites.
2. A topic that leaves lots of room for open discussions.

Once you're strong and well populated, you get to throw in cool stuff like EoEo, the RP forum, Introduction Forums (For the leads of Members), and whatever other side topics you can think of that might boost your internet popularity, and then you have a moving and shaking deal.

[Quindiana Jones]

You can teach me how to be a good spammer, Dellas! :love:

To be completely and utterly perfectly honest, I think EoFF is a great forum. Just copy them.

[Old Manus]

I think the forum you're looking for is ytmnsfw

[Christmas]

I think the forum you're looking for is ytmnsfw

Best Forum (http://www.freewebs.com/ihatethings/guestbook.htm) ever.

[Griff]

Only the ways of Thundarism will make your forum successful DM.

[Jigsaw]

I think a good staff makes a good forum. This forum has a great staff, therefore it is great.

[Quindiana Jones]

Manus' comments rule. :bigsmile:

[Xander]

This one is fine :love:

[Quindiana Jones]

Only cos you're here Xanda Panda!

[Simen]

I won't help a man of the devil. That's just wrong. Satan sucks.

[Owen Macwere]

A forum with no members is the best ever. :bigsmile: Like mine, I am so proud of it.

[The Devil Man]

A forum with no members is the best ever. :bigsmile: Like mine, I am so proud of it.

Yeah, you get no hassle and dont have to deal with peoples stupid problems.

But Devil Man still aims to make his Forum a success :) He just needs tips. PG Tips.

[Yamaneko]

What forum software are you going to use?

[Laddy]

How about a Square Enix one? One that focuses on FF, KH, Vagrant Story, Dragon Warrior, Front Mission, etc. Also, what's a forum without good ol' RPs? Maybe, we can have some exclusive flash games? And some private talking, u nkow, instead of PMing or IMing... Maybe, a nice mascot would be cool, or two, or nine! Also, make it available for personality quizzes to be made, and have like a weekly story section with weekly updates, also, real cool profiles! AWESOME FORUM!

[Jigsaw]

I've had a little experience adminning a forum before so if you need any help send me a message. Of course, it was no where near this size, so if you want the real dirt you're probably better off asking the great admins of this forum.

[Citizen Bleys]

Eskimo Deathmatch is what really made Bastardly Productions work.

[Jessweeee♪]

Give it a theme, set SOME rules, and give it a good, solid, staff.

[The Devil Man]

What forum software are you going to use?

I wanna use the same software that this forum I sometimes visit neo (http://www.neomag.co.uk/forums/index.php) uses because I heard that it's easier to back-up and if you wanna upgrade to new versions, its easier to transfer stuff over without losing anything.


And I wanna Focus on XBox 360 and Nintendo Wii stuff, because I am a Microsoft and Nintendo fanboy, plus I want my Members to happily send each other full episodes of animes to one another without fear of, like, getting in trouble. I want people to be able to swap whatever they want without no worries. Oh, and chatting about RPG's if they wanna do that too.

Do you wanna be a Moderator Yamaneko? I'd be happy if you join :) Me and you can Moderate together!

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Actually the thing that makes this forum so great is its strict rules. Granted, sometimes the staff overdo things, but it's better to have tons of rules than allowing harrasment and bullying of members like you're proposing Devil Man.

I don't get why random Eoff members make new forums when it's nearly impossible to improve any more on this one.

[Laddy]

How about a rule like no racist, sexist, or anything that insults someone's faith, race, gender, language, etc. Also, maybe a rule against someone asking someone to commit a crime in any place of the world.

[Citizen Bleys]

make a rule forbidding the use of the definite article.

[Jessweeee♪]

I started a couple forums awhile back. Playing with censors is fun!
I replaced words like "the" "of" or "lol"

[Citizen Bleys]

Forbid the use of the word "trout"

I hate trout.

[GeneralSapphire]

I like here, with safety from the staff and sheep!But on your forum would you allow World Domination threads?Lady of the sheep wants to know?hmmm, would you?

[Citizen Bleys]

Try filtering all prepositions into racial slurs.

[BarelySeeAtAll]

i know, you should have at least,at least, one sheep on there!!oh, and world domination shall be inevitable

[The Devil Man]

Wouldn't it be great to live in a world where there was no poverty, where there was no crime, where there was no suffering, where there were no teenage-pregnant mothers, where there was no evil...

Pah! :mad2:

There is a Forum already in existence to the one you dream of. Its called EoFF :eek:

Devil Man wants the total opposite to that. He wants a place which is...

Which is...

Well, if EoFF is equivalent to Heaven, then I want my Forum to be equivalent to Hell :radred:

I want people to be able to do absolutely anything they want, somewhere to let off some Steam. And exchange cool downloads.

And Cthulu, could I interest you in being a Moderator on my Board as well? I like some of your suggestions (Some = All) :)

[Citizen Bleys]

No. Never again.

Make a bukkake forum.

[theundeadhero]

Make up a crazy cult religion and then sell it off as real.

[Bahamut2000X]

Every week have a lottery to determine which member get's banned.

[Dell]

Advertise Dell Computer.

[NeoCracker]

No. Never again.

Make a bukkake forum.

Thats disturbing, for I know what that is.

Thanks for the image.

[Raistlin]

No. Never again.

I'll mod you back at tGA just to spite you.

Yeah yeah, that would actually involve me logging in to tGA. *makes the comment before someone else can*

[Citizen Bleys]

Nice try, but the idea of staffing a forum doesn't constrict my sphincter quite the way it used to...I wouldn't give a damn. I just wouldn't actually do anything.

[Jessweeee♪]

You realize everyone from EoFF that goes there will slowly try and turn it into EoFF, don't you?

[blackmage_nuke]

Why not make everyone a mod and they can ban and edit other people's posts at will. And you have to write in triple posts

[NeoCracker]

As soon as he makes it we should spam his thread with EoFF andvertisement.s

[Jessweeee♪]

Sounds like fun :spin:

[The Devil Man]

As soon as he makes it we should spam his thread with EoFF andvertisement.s

They'll get Banned from EoFF eventually, so they'll just return to my Forum.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Devil Man, I would love to join your forum when it is up and running. :bigsmile:

As for what makes a good forum, I like freedom. I like to be able to say everything that I fucking want to.
(The censoring featured above is an example of what not to do)

Oooh, one thing, no emos or whining of any sort. People should have to have a pair to use the forum.

[NeoCracker]

That won't stop me from spamming up your place with
eoff adds.

[Citizen Bleys]

Bah, if I haven't been banned from EoFF by now, it's pretty hard to argue the inevitability of banning for everyone.

I made a Nazi Party for the EoFF elections ffs.

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Make up a crazy cult religion and then sell it off as real.

I already did that.

Except that it's not crazy or cultlike and it's obviously not real, but rather a satire of religions in general.




Oooh, one thing, no emos or whining of any sort. People should have to have a pair to use the forum.

Already the discrimination is starting. Everyone is more or less equal on Eoff; if there is any rudeness or discrimination, it's eradicated by the staff.

In discrimanating against any group you already show your own shallowness. If people started discriminating against you because you're a typical heavy metal fan, and you had to be kicked out of Devil Man's forum, would you realize how pointless it is to kick out someone just over the type of person he is?

As soon as there are no rules people will start making their own, and most of the time this is ends up in disaster. This is why I have no interest in a ruleless forum.

[Shiny]

Trout.

You should use smilies from giveupalready.

Nope, not at all. I wouldn't be kicked out of Devil Man's forum anyway. :bigsmile:

To be honest, not everything is rainbows and sunshine, and little emo kids can't handle that fact. I could take it a step further and say they deserve to be killed, but I won't (they kill themselves anyway).

And if you have no interest in a rule-less forum, which is the type of forum Devil man is going to make, then why waste your time and everyone else's by posting in here?

[Riana]

There should be a forum where we can make love :love:

*ahem*

Yeah and there should be a chance to make up familes too, I remember that from a different forum. That was good fun.

Just because someone is highly depressed and overly emotional, there is no point in even contemplating their "need" to die.


And if you have no interest in a rule-less forum, which is the type of forum Devil man is going to make, then why waste your time and everyone else's by posting in here?

The original point of the thread was to give Devil Man suggestions for his forum. I'm trying to prove the fact that no rules will mean endless flaming, and flaming is not condusive to a great forum like Eoff.

I've been to a forum with constant flaming, and I can say that being argued with and flamed at whenever you express an opinion or state common sense becomes incerdibly annoying. Refusing to allow a certain type of person in a forum already goes to show how rude people will be on there.

Of course, I doubt my comments will make Devil Man reconsider things, so at this point I have no further comments on ruleless threads.

[BarelySeeAtAll]

whats wrong with emos
put a load of sheep on there devil man and i shall come to it immediately

[Quindiana Jones]

Make it a bannable offence if anyone doesn't post porn in every single post they make.

[RoxasLeonhart]

Hey devil man just make a forum where we all can just come and chat or hang out on

[The Devil Man]

I should never have started this stupid Thread.

[Timerk]

Just imagine, with no rules, your forum will be full of threads like this!

:quina:

It's a bad idea now that I think about it.

Somebody warn this Thread and get it locked plz, because I can't be bothered imho

Well, to you their may not be a point, but I see one. But that is an argument neither here nor there.

And a rule-less forum can only breed quick wit and greater capacity for orating. Sure, there may be the ignorant flaming of simple name calling, but no one pays attention to them anyway. The true flaming comes in the form of a battle of wits between two or more parties.

Iron sharpens iron, in the same way that guys rag on each other on a near constant basis and keep each other on their toes, a rule less forum will breed quicker witted people.

And who says EoFF is great?

[Quindiana Jones]

I was talking to God, and whilst engaged in an engaging conversation about engagement parties, the subject of EoFF arised. When I asked the Almighty Father if He had made anything better, He said (and I quote):


No. Don't be ridiculous! EoFF was my most perfect creation!

And then he slapped me back down to Earth, so I could aid in the posting numbers of this great and wonderful place. True story, btw.

Yeah I think we both were. "Holy Water" my ass.

[Jess]

Forbid the use of the word "trout"

I hate trout.
Ugh, me too. What a horrible word/fish.

What makes a good forum? It needs some rules but yet it doesn't need to be too strict, and it needs to have a lot of activity, good posts and people to keep me interested. :jess:

[Christmas]

Did Devil Man made a forum in the end or he decided to upgrade it to a discord channel?
