Make this Forum Visible!

RPGPundit · April 21, 2006, 02:23:42 PM

Ok,

If you guys really gave me this forum to do with as I wish; then what I wish is for people who aren't logged in to be able to read the threads therein.

There are a lot of people who have heard of the "Pistols at dawn" thread now, through my blog, Jrient's blog, and Levi's blog among other places, who weren't able to see what we're talking about by virtue of the fact that hte Pundit's Parlour requires you to sign in to be viewed.

I ask that the Nutkins change that immediately to be open for non-member viewing.

HELL, yes.

RPGPundit · April 21, 2006, 04:45:44 PM

I'm waiting for a response.

I'll toss it at the other Nutkins and see what is said. I wasn't even aware that they weren't visible to everyone. I can see them on all my accounts.

Both Levi and I have gotten multiple complaints from people, when we posted the links to our Blogs, that couldn't see the thread, because they're not members of Nutkinland. As much as I'd like to encourage everyone to join nutkinland, its just not acceptable to me that they should HAVE to become members to even be able to see what I'm talking about.

I also have some serious concerns about continuing this thread without ASSURANCES that when you guys decide you're bored of me having my own Forum you aren't just going to throw this thread into the trash. I want to know that when you shut down the Parlour you will transfer it to one of the permanent forums.

Be assured that we are planning on keeping the thread. Right now discussing on moving thread to regular forum as it will take care of both your concerns.

I'd be in favour of that; of course, then unless you made me a mod of the regular forum I couldn't make sure that no one else posted on that thread. In that case the nutkins would have to be in charge of keeping it between me and levi.

I'm more than willing to kill any post in that thread that isn't yours or levi's. that is a non-issue.

As hriem as said, we're discussing currently. You make valid points on all of these problems, and I think you'll be pleased with the result. However, please, be patient - we are all quite busy with our real (read: paying) lives.

See, now that, I can appreciate.

Quote from: Harry JoyBefore I signed onto this user group, and the Pigpen, I was able to view both. I just couldn't post. I could view them from the get-go.

Tossing that out there.

I believe the objection is to the fact that you must register and then log in before you can see this forum. Since the discussion between Levi and RPGPundit may be of interest to people who may not want to register with NKL, it would be nice if the forum was visible to those who aren't logged in.

Levi Kornelsen · April 21, 2006, 11:43:08 PM

Some of my friends and readers are screened from joining a forum using their work computer, which is where they get their internet.

Others simply can't be arsed, of course.

RPGPundit · April 22, 2006, 01:16:27 AM

Yup, like I said I actively encourage everyone to join NKL, but I know that not everyone is willing or able to, and they'd still want to read the thread, and should be able to. That thread in particular should be for public consumption.

You can post on my journal at will...

Aelfinn · April 22, 2006, 02:14:26 AM

you know, I do belive that it's fairly disingenious of you to post a request in one place, then boil it down to an ultimatim in your own blog:

QuoteIn any fucking case, nothing pisses me off as much as the fact that many of my loyal readers can't even read what I'm writing in the Pistols thread; and Im prepared to do something about it. The Nutkins have been warned: they must open my forum to anonymous viewing. When they do this, I will repost the link here so all of my Proxies can see me and Levi duke it out, one on one, mano a mano.

And if the Nutkins don't? Well, then i think we'll have to move the Pistols thread to another venue, and fuck them. I figure theres another two weeks or so of posting to go before that thread is done; I'm not going to invest all that only to have a thread no one can read.

What are the nutkins here for, to serve your personal whims, with no question and a massochistic outlook?

now, I agree that the forums should be publicly viewable, but read the site charter, before you go making demands, would you?

Quote from: relavent point from the charterIn return, show the Nutkins some respect. They're here to keep the forums safe and secure, and to the best of my knowledge none of them are getting paid for their hard work. Please do not feed, harass, or intentionally annoy the squirrels, and if they ask you to do something, do it because they may not ask you twice. You've heard of DM fiat? Well they drive a Fiat too.

I swear, I don't know why they put up with shit from you that they won't from anyone else. At least one other person has earned a jackass title this week.

What, no hate for me? Just him?

Come on.

I could call you a name, if you like.
