Eyes on Final Fantasy: Posting Activity History

So there is a third solution, drive this site into the ground, get the owners to sell it to us, then delete the stuff that drove it down in the first place, then extend EoFF to encompass the entire RPG genre

I think it would be neat if it encompassed gaming in general! < /2cents>

As long as this site brings in revenue, the owners won't do anything. They'll spend their energies elsewhere and leave this site to do it's thing.

Which is why BtV's idea is tempting and mass exodus could be a viable solution. Again these are Radical solutions and are unlikely.

I suggested that many posts up! *points*

I hope you guys know that mass exodus was, like, the first thing that was suggested. Ever. The problem would be informing enough of the people about it, and then even making sure people tag along.

Here is a suggestion that I actually put thought into. Find a way to get inside contact from SE itself. That way we could get info about everything before other sites such as gamefaqs or IGN gets it first.

If you look at the site serebii.net, serebii has some sort of source from either Nintendo or Gamefreak, and he is able to get info as it's happening. Also we would need to update the frontsite news almost every day to keep a constant stream of output, getting a stream of input back in.

Unimportant detail.

Perhaps ideas should be kept track of in the first post then.

imho, I can see message boards going the same way as newsgroups within the next 5 years, with the arrival of social networks giving you a much more interesting interaction with people across the intertubes. I spend more time on facebook than I do anywhere else now ;_;

Actually an exodus is simpler than you think. First the new site is set up with the moderators being the first set of accounts so there is no confusion with mod names

Admins send a mass E-Mail to all members. Then everyone knows we all moved.

People who don't follow from that E-Mail are either prodded by pals or forgotten.

Tav, seriously, we've been discussing this at least as long as you guys, probably even longer. We're aware.

I like how it went from saving EoFF to killing it. I understand though.

It's to save the community not the forum itself.

I wasn't claiming that it was SS exclusive; I'm quite informed that the FS have been discussing it as well. What I don't think is that everyone else is aware, and frankly, I think people are jumping on the idea without regard to the consequences, or even with a plan to implement it.

[Psychotic]

An exodus wouldn't solve the problem.

It might solve a problem, but not the problem.

And that problem is that one in three men suffer from erectile dysfunction?

EoFF needs to start selling Viagra?
