Hysterrics Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Out of curiosity, what is the problem with that semi role play aspect, or just a role play aspect in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KasperVld Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='daniel l.']well you brought the entire forum here so would get a lot of replies. btw might i suggest that you open a poll so that the community can decide the theme of the new forum?[/QUOTE] I'm not complaining about the amount of replies at all! Everyone should see this thread so this amount of response is great!

Svm420 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='DuoDex']Considering that this has been technically breaking of the rules since Day 1, I think it's high time it's deleted. An old, old quote from vexx32 I still like to pull out whenever this issue is raised [/QUOTE] Thank you for that.

Beale Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) [quote name='KasperVld']Yes, and I'd encourage you to do that.[/QUOTE] That's great, cheers! Lack of BB codes is a big shame though. WYSIWYG text editors are nowhere near as good for forums IMO, but eh... There must be a valid reason to switch to IPS Edited November 21, 2015 by Beale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyWithALongUsername Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Interesting! Some of these new features seem nice, but It's still kinda sad to see the rocket builders and blogs go, even though I never really used either :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passinglurker Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 What's the news on imgur albums last I heard after the change you were gonna talk to imgur about larger sizes and getting thumbnails back and such and then nothing. Last I checked the old style of albums were never actually depreciated can we just revert back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi1960 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Can I survive that long without these forums?????? Wait, I took a photo of the screen.... that will have to do...

billkerbinsky Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I make heavy use of the quick links / Subscribed Threads feature to track discussion of the mods I use. Will thread subscriptions be carried over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll contact imgur about the embeds :) [quote name='Kerbart']oh wow. What gave it away?[/QUOTE] It was just a hunch ;) I hope you like the ability to tag us Squad folk in posts though. If I can make the comparison to Reddit here: I only log in there a couple of times per week, but when people tag me a nice notification pops up and it'll point me at the relevant post immediately, instead of having to read every single comment looking for something that may be relevant.

Guest Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='KasperVld']You could for example take a look at the forums of the company that provides the software: [URL="http://community.invisionpower.com/"]linky[/URL] Actually the new forum does away with bb-codes - though existing ones will be converted (that's what the software is currently working on). I'm an avid bb-code user and I'm sure it'll take some getting used to, but the post editor in IPS 4 is great :)[/QUOTE] Okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhoram Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Looking forward to the change. Will the new forum support LaTeX?

cantab Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='DuoDex']Nope.[/QUOTE]Does IPS 4 have a "View Your Posts" feature? That's what I mainly use the "Subscription" here to emulate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZodiusInfuser Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I don't think this has been asked yet, but will private messages be transferred over, and will the available storage space remain the same/increase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotaru Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Question: Will it be permitted to have a general-purpose personal thread in Spacecraft Exchange? That is, if I started a thread called "Hotaru's Spacecraft Thread" or some such and posted a variety of my designs there, would it be allowed? What if it was called "Hotaru's Spacecraft Company," but the role-play began and ended at the slightly fanciful use of the word "company?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbes Novakoff Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 If there is no role-play involved, then can we have a "collaboration" thread at least? With a bunch of people building stuff together? [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Because that's probably the only reason I come back to the forums.

acc Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) I'm not a kerbal role player, but I can't understand why you take the fun away from those people who like it. I'm pretty sure there are tons of people who would like to solve the "drama problem" as moderator in that forum. and no, I mean not me. Guess most of them are the younger generation and for me it feels like you stealing their candy. No offense, just my honest thoughts.

So Subscriptions and View Your Posts are, indeed, there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozak Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Please explain how the rocket builder threads are role-playing? partnering with companies and people joining your company are really the only two things i think would even come close to roleplay. In short: i disagree with the switch, and might not return to the forums, depends on what the new one is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogcorp Squirrel Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='KasperVld']Rocket Builders is a place that actually breaks our community rules constantly, in particular the 'thou shallt not roleplay' rule. You're still welcome to offer the craft you make, or even take requests in the Spacecraft Exchange forum though, the only thing that will change is the 'company' part of it, with the employee/director/ceo roles and inter-company drama that comes with it.[/QUOTE] I am a bit ticked off about the deletion of rocket builders, but where will the craft go now????!!!!
