Forums!

Where did the forums go?!? There used to be a bunch now there are only 3.

hmmm... now when I come to think about it there actually were some more forums before... where are they now...

adopts radio emergency system voice

PLEASE STAND BY

due to the overwhelming responses in the HL2 forums, and their questionable content, that portion of our system has been disabled till further notice...

THIS IS ONLY A TEST

you may now return to your previous state of utter confusion..

thankyou.

its probably gone cause hl2 forum is useless unless u downloaded the game and needed help

There were 4. Now there are 3. Crazy! :razz:

Like, whoa! What they said :smile: It was a breeding ground for hatred and bitterness, a dark dark place, much like what Stevenage would be t'were it a forum.

good move Lep....that one shmuck really pissed me off, but i tried to defend the pit as best as i could without being a crazy person....w00t!

Doc Brass.... :dodgy:

So let me get this straight - some annoying twat came along so you shut down the entire forum?

twat=catalyst.. but no.

reason=no HL2 editor yet.

the forum was giving the wrong impression..

but i am sure lep had more reasons as well as the ones i stated.

Half the posts in the forum were related to people asking for/linking to leaked versions of things. Like someone said, there wouldn't appear to be much point in a forum about editing a game that doesn't exist yet...

ya had to see what the cat wrote to get the full impression maze....he was a (guessing) 12 or so year old s**thead, with a map made from the "hot" hammer editor....and Lep took it down, and he flipped....kind of a straw that broke the camels back sorta thing....

Doc Brass.... :dodgy:

Oh well im just really averse to shutting down stuff because of some annoying people who get pissed, its kind of like letting them get their way. That is the same sort of "straw" broke gamedesign.net's forums back and to this day RUST has never been nearly as dominant an editing site as it once was.

Jesus, there were all of 3 posts there and the thing's not going to be used until the game even comes out anyway. It'll be back when the game comes out and there's a legitimate use for it.

i agree, that one shmuck with an attitude is not a reason for shutting down the forum....but on the converse, Lep didnt need the hassle of somebody sniffing around what i hear is one of the most popular mapping sites in the community, and causing any grief....i believe orph stated something to the effect of, it only takes one guy to sue Leps ass because he THINKS we condone the use of the "hot" copy of the editor....i personally think it was the best move Lep could have made....cover thine ass so-to-speak....besides, andrews right, there were basicly nothing but ramblings on the three posts that were there anyway....and it wont be that long before HL2 actually comes out...(knock on wood)...

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Whoa s**t leperous knows stevenage! That means you you may be quite near to where i used to live! spoooky.

Where'd ya live lep?

i agree in principal bud, you know that, but the thing was inviting trouble..

it would be like having an porn thread, but asking everyone not to post screenshots of their favorite bodies..

besides, other than a few humorous jests, it was practically empty anyways.. its not gone, just disabled. :wink:

The HL2 forums were about as useful as having a forum dedicated to the background colour of this website... Most people posted thier HL2 stuff in the General Banter forum anyway!

Nah I don't live near Stevenage (live in Somerset actually) but been there a few times :/ Well the forums were experimental but obviously it's going to be a better idea to wait until we have a (legitimate) editor to play with.. ho hum
