You guys seriously don't know the real problem, do you? Let me point out that it's not hard to have a friendly and clean community, even with PB's quality. Yet MoD is a simple trash dump now. Why? Because every single one of the decent members were either turned into trolls, or just left. It's not a fun place for people who just want to chat about BIONICLE with some friendly people. This is stupid, guys, you all KNOW why new members go inactive after three posts. >_>
Ur al idiots

Not all of us. I can vouch that at least two of us here are not, but Im not counting myself in that list since I didnt keep ccertain people off the board thinking I was letting them have another chance, and look what that did.
Thats the whole point of me getting ready to close down these forums and link to new bionicle only forums from the front page news, and setting up a place for the non bionicle members to go to. Thant and the new forums seem to have better software.

basically he's cloning the current site, and also opening another side forum panaka.

He's right though. Even I turn into a complete idiot when I'm on here now (as you just saw).
Even though the problem could have been easily solved a while ago, this final solution has potential to fix things.
So how much longer until they're open?

In all honesty moving the forums isn't going to fix anything, as it's basiaclly copying the two sites we have going now. Mod and new mod (ageis' forums) so what we have is Mod and board of boards.
If there was an actual system of rule enforcement then things could improve.Otherwise its a repeat of the current cycle.

Well obviously if that was the case then the problem definitely wouldn't be solved. But if I'm not mistaken Imatron already said that all the rules on the new MoD would be enforced and none of the idiotic trolling and discussion going on here would be permitted.

Thats what he kept saying about this mod. You can see how well that went. In anycase it's all just speculation currently.

I had a feeling you'd say that, and I was thinking the exact same thing. There just needs to be someone else at the top who won't hesitate to give the boot as soon as a problem member arrives.

Back from the dead this one time.
Immy, I'm not sure how you'll salvage the remains of this site. Even if you do make a second Bionicle-related forum, people won't be interested in joining again because of lack of interest. Really, what can't you get there that you can't get anywhere else? At one time, it used to be the gigantic community, but that's gone. /=
Besides, most members here would rather go to the off-topic site than hang around some kids toy that they grew bored with.
But then what would that have to do with Mask of Destiny, the Bionicle forum site?
This place's time has come. The community might be moved to another site, but not another MoD.

Hi Zip
I still don't see the reason for the inherient objection certain people have with a repurposing of MoD; the community for the most part doesn't care for Bionicle, so rather than wanting rid of them for a hypothetical new userbase perhaps MoD could be refocused to discuss different topics (though not discounting Bionicle as a potential one)
I mean I have friends who can make webpages and such, I mean I'm inept at everything but demagogy but I know other people would be willing an able to assist with a full site rebuild
We could even keep the name
But the thing is Imatron, you insist on holding all the relevant power to yourself and yet fail to do anything with it; you should either delegate, succeed, or become way more active

lol I said it once, and I'll say it again: this is a stupid idea, it will solve nothing I mean come on, we already control the board of shit just give up, everyone knows that none of your ideas have ever worked and if you want to get everything under control you'll just have to try something else, but abandoning the entire thing would probably be more effective

Im trying to restore the forums to their original purpose as bionicle forums, thats all there is to it. If a new bionicle community does not form on the forums or whats left of our existing bionicle community does not show up and the forums are just dead weight, the site owner will remove them completley and have them shut down. Im not trying to shut it down "because its not going my way" as you want to believe so you can fight me. If I shut it them down its because "the forums cant be fixed and Im not leaving whats supposed to be a reputable site that welcomes kids linked to a forum full of profanity and fighting."
Im not trying to hold any power, Im trying to retire from the site staff but Im not going to leave the place a mess when I do, even if that means making new forums and closing these down. The only reason the site is running now, the front page news or the forums, is because when Mark wanted to close down the site four or so years ago, the site owner wanted to keep it running and I was put in charge. Since I am effectivley the only person trained to run the front page, If I just leave then the site will effectivley shut down for good, which is why Im training all the new staff.
As for TBoB, take it or leave it. It could be worse, I could have just outright banned everyone here whos just here for the sake of arguing with me which is HALF THE MESS ON THE SITE NOW and done nothing, and opened the new forums without giving you guys a chance to set up your own site.
