The State Of Vr

If someone would like my ML modship they can have it. I've been trying to get my teletext back, but don't have it at the moment so am not any help.

Well if people think i can do it, i'll give it a shot.

Still ML isn't exactly the main problem in all of this. There's other things as people have mentioned.

It wasn't about a year, it was last September. I remember that because I was in Scotland at the time.

Yup, the winner was decided on the 19th of September.
Final thread is hither

Yeah. Having a MINIMUM character limit on posts perhaps - that'd stop the " " posts, which seriously drive me up the wall, and others too I'd assume.

Problem with that is that people will then start replacing " " comments with " " comments, or at the very least, putting "

Hey that reminds me, it was about a year since the last one, dya reckon we should do an Ultimate VRer 05?

Yeah, can I be exempt this year and not play as I won last year. If you want you could make a rule that past winners can't be in it though that might ruin it for some people. Either way I wouldn't like to be included again.

No i'm not We're all entitled to a choice. I played ball last year. This year I don't want to. No harm in that.

And Rob, no-one ever gets recognition for ML. Deal with it

This is true, unfortunately.

Back on topic, I think the Rotating Columns idea may have more weight if a starting line-up was decided (providing Andrew has no objections).

I agree, I think if it goes ahead, rotation would be a good idea, and even if it doesn't work, at least we gave it a try.

Out of curiosity, does anyone think that bringing back Saturday Showcase would work on ML?

And yes, it has been falling apart as of late (well, for the last six months or so) and this is basically because George held it together with the website. It's also a lack of motivation; when it first started it was all shiny and new, which meant that us three mods would copy up the letters without fail. It's a case of things getting stale again, so maybe a rotation of mods (keeping one from time to time just so somebody knows what they're doing) or copier monkies? Which I know happens at the moment, but not so structured. But if people knew that they only got the *glory* of being a copier monkey/ mod for a certain amount of time, they might try their hardest to do their best and make the most of that time.

Then again, probably not.

Column rotation, on the other hand, sounds like a very good idea.

the saturday showcase I think fi meant.

Ive just noticed this thread, only cause someone pointed it out on livejournal.

I dont read this column, in fact i only read conversational stuff, music, rants, and spam. and then i only read threads that sound vaguely interesting or started by people of worth. things are getting rather boring around here to say the least. most of the intelligent people have all but gone.

either that or we're just growing up. spazzing back through the history brings up posts of utter f*cking spam and lots of smileys. i mean, no one uses those hundreds of smilies anymore, and anyone who does is a n00b.

I don't really read this column or Joel's cos erm.....i don't see their main 'function'. they are just like conversational and seem to serve the same purpose?

sorry if I missed the point!

Regarding Chris' idea about the forum mods for the main boards taking a more active role in keeping conversational stuff etc interesting - I'm happy to start trying to post more threads to contribute to it, but the main point of the role is to make sure things are in the right place, etc - I feel we do a good job there, most of it won't be noticed due to the nature of the job. To have new mods selected based on their ability to contribute seems unnecessary to me - isn't that what the personal columns are supposed to be? But I agree everyone should try and post more.

Or not?

In my opinion, Alan has been very good in that sense in this column, and people jsut haven't been interested in it. Waste of space.

i enjoy alan's writing very much, yours too chris, but i often agree with your points which you make very thoroughly and i find myself with little to add.

the idea of a "VR soap" doesn't really appeal to me but i think at the moment anything is worth a try.
