I had to remove Borderlands from the forum header, simply because I am the only person involved in that game anymore.

People stopped caring about and posting at Call of Duty on both World at War and Modern Warfare 2. More topics I loved to discuss, but can't since nobody is giving any feedback for me to respond toward or help answer questions for.

Thanks for clearing up the fact your intent with this discussion was not to discredit my time spent on the community, the chat, or the games. I respect your honesty, though being at the receiving end, I see now how the forum users must feel. ;)

I don't watch television or movies to be much contribution for those discussions. I make videos for YouTube, and recruit new members from Runescape, on the side of working full time and tending to bills (that I seem to never keep up on). Just as I am writing this, it is nearing 11AM, I sleep until 3PM, and work from 4PM until 11PM. Giving the majority of time I have toward the group, and involvement in recruitment and chatter here and abroad is not only my life, but my passion. Call it an obsession, perhaps. But I'm heading to bed for now, and looking forward to speaking with you via PM in regards to the idea of setting up a "Forum Leader" and "RScc Leader".

People from other games can register at the forums. Thats if us as staff/members tell them about it.

I agree with what you are saying Myke. 3/3 staff is a good idea. What happens though if all the staff check in for this roll call? Who then gets demoted??


I am so happy that you are staff here!! You are doing a great job!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Hmm only problem I see with getting people from other games e.g. WoW, is the respect those games have for others. Perhaps there won't be any problem, I'm only saying this is a possible conflict that could occur. I'd love to see more people on the forums and I'm all for it, but how we recruit from other games and from runescape into the forums would have be looked at closely, and rules made very clear on respect.

Sounding a little pedantic now but just putting my view forward. If we did recruit from other games though it means making us NGoG or something else/similar but you can't have the forum as NGoR as most of the people from other games probably wouldn't care about runescape too much :P

Just my 2cents. Like I said I'd love to get people from other games and broaden our forum spectrum, but how we do so will need alot of consideration from you the staff.

Shini: I agree. We need to have somebody design a banner which incorporates all of these games we play into a single image.

If we can make a unison of World of Warcraft and Runescape (our best 2 games), perhaps we can add in a few images from some of the lesser-used games at the moment (Modern Warfare 2 and Left 4 Dead) to form a sort of backing for everything discussed on the forum.

It must bare the name "National Guard of Gaming" as it would show non-discrimination toward any game, yet involve all of them.

We already have a section build on the forum for World of Warcraft. It includes a member list, news area, and discussion section. While World of Warcraft (as most MMORPG prove to be) is full screen, it makes it difficult to gather members on a forum. We've lost 2 sections leaders due to inactivity on that game since I served my 3 month term in recruitment there.

If we can locate someone whom is active in other games, such as World of Warcraft, and actually have them check in active once per week, it would strengthen our backing for that game, and gather more members either from the game to NG, or from other games at NG to that section of NG off other games.

Give me feedback on whom we think is worthy to lead the section for World of Warcraft, and we shall design a forum rank that will allow that user control of the section, while STILL being under direct supervision by Forum Admins and Forum Mods (as dictated by the rules of NG).

I've been trying to gather other games, and serving a few months in each, but regardless of whom I put in charge of a game, they always seem to falter as time passes.

Get back to me regarding a unified "National Guard of Gaming" banner for our forum, as well. I look forward to many more great ideas about this concern.

Myke: Recruitment from games is not simple. It took us 7 years to build the masses we have at Runescape. And if we were to recruit other games, we need a representative with just as much devotion and respect toward the group, and toward recruitment, as we have shown for Runescape.

I've served 3 months in World of Warcraft, 2 years in Halo (2 and 3), 5 months in Cabal Online, 5 years in Diablo 2 (before moving on to Runescape). If we can find users with interest devoted to a single game, and that game NOT being Runescape, we may have a shot at getting this idea of "National Guard of Gaming" off the ground.

I've worked hard to build an active team for World of Warcraft, but after I chose someone to lead that game, he was not heard from soon after. In fact, we've lost contact with much of the team in the field at that game, and I felt it was a direct result of the mere fact -- that game is full screen. While Runescape users view the forum while using the game, World of Warcraft can use ONLY the forum or ONLY the game -- never both at the same time.

Perhaps this is incorrect viewing of the results from test runs. If we locate someone worthy to lead that game, I will gladly get things underway to ensure a new attempt at this dream.

By the way, I love your enthusiasm in this endeavor. Let's hope for the best!

I have an idea.
Put everyone from forum admin into maintenance and move everyone from forum mod,irc mod and rscc mod into forum admin and change the power of forum admin to the same as forum mod is now. Keep the same amount of irc and rscc mods just put them togeter.

I don't think that would work out to well at all, confusion also

The defect of equality is that we only desire it with our superiors

Guild Wars 2 = Inactive
World Of Warcraft = Inactive
Runescape = Inactive
ArcheAge = Inactive
Tera = Inactive
