@adult section.

We have that at a forum I visit daily where porn and whatever is allowed, we just have very basic rules going against beastiality and child porn.

@the FP system

Now I'm not eager to receive force pit myself, but really, the force pit system should be so much different. You don't notice, nor appreciate, nor care about newcomers in this community nor forum (although to be fair, you're getting statrted this thread is a good start) they're for you just people who have been here for a day even though they frequently visit this forum daily eager to know what's all over the forum. If you don't find a way to promote the current users at all then find an automatic system with amount of posts or something.. because this way we ain't getting any new FP members and it'll (unfortuantely?) stay for old schoolers only.

Agree with Shadi, in the most threads of the newcomers you will see post like: " I m here 10 years, you are here 2 days therefore your opinion sucks/doesn't matter/is wrong etc"

Another thing I want to point is, why can't people(the team too) see posts like "release date? etc" as a proof that there are more people that want to play the game(in which they spent years working at) and not only the old farts of this forum?

The FP system has nothing to do with posts or length of stay, it was back then when the ESF devs took in donations for the project, and anyone who donated got FP access. It was like a return on investment, they got access to more pictures from the devs and whatnot. Because ESF can't take donations anymore, then the FP system needs to change if the goal is to allow new people into the FP. But I'm not sure the devs or the FP members want any change. It's up to them :)

I believe the donations were to help keep the forums running and such.

Either way, I have a very low tolerance with people who sign up just to ask "Why isn't this released yet?" then ask 2 days later " Why are there no POTW already?" and then the next reply " I want more movies. "

Those people just urk my nerves easily because they don't know how hard it actually is to work on this when you are doing this for fun, aren't getting paid for it, and have a life off the computer to worry about. They think the team is nothing more than a bunch of computers working 24/7 that need to go based off their demand. It's seriously bothersome just to me. I can't imagine that the team needs anymore posts after the last 1,000,000 posts like this.



As for the Adult section, I'm not saying allow porn, I am more or less just saying to allow more adult humor and such in on it.

We don't need a ******* adult section. We need Skyrider to stop remaining out of touch with things and have the forum staff come to a reasonable resolve to this god awful situation.

Disagreed. Even in a world where Sky is competent, an adult section would still be much appreciated because, try as we might to ignore this fact, our user base is both young and immature. I also don't think age is enough of a requirement to gain access to such a section, and a vote on maturity level or something of the sort would be necessary should the community grow large again, but that's a ways off. Baby steps and all that. It also serves to cease the censorship we employ because of the "Think of the children!" argument and what have you.

There's this problem with people like Damaera who are technically adults, but would in reality never be treated as such.

Hence the vote on maturity level.

I would actually agree on the vote for maturity. Though, it would kinda be like having a 2nd Force Pit with less strict rules. I love the idea of that.

Which is pretty much what the FP was supposed to be before a certain person got their hands on it.

Well lot of these people are really young and you can ignore those post or answer without to offend them. They will be the new generation of this community.

I still am going to stride for an adult section, even if it was voted down.

I would like to point out two parts of the extended AUP:
Respect
First and foremost, we do not tolerate any kind of disrespect to other users. Do not flame, spam, racially or religiously slur, attack, or swear on the forums, or it will result in disciplinary action being taken against you. Attempts at shrouding disrespect under needless cynicism or sarcasm will not be tolerated, either. This is our golden rule, if all else fails, respect the other users. Note that the forum staff reserves the right to decide what does and does not count as disrespect and that they constitute the final say in that department. If they are in agreement that your actions were disrespectful, you will be disciplined accordingly. You will, however, be allowed to contact an administrator for clarification.



Porn
No posts on the subject of porn, graphic sex, nudity, hentai or similar animated porn are allowed. If you post on these subjects it is an instant 2 week ban, any repeat violations will result in an IP Ban. Do not post this kind of thing in the Forums. This is not the place for it. There are many users far below the 18 and older statute for porn where the server is located. Thus, it is not allowed.

You can highlight porn as many times as you want. Saying it is porn does not make it so by virtue of whose mouth utters it.

When Sub and Gir get back, I am sure they will be pleased to see how many miss them. I haven't even seen Gir post much on here at all lately other than his modeling thread and the joke.

I remember how lively these forums used to be. To me it was at it's peak right before the Minion outbreak.

@Pre

I think 18+ should be the only requirement, if you're still too mentally disabled that you can't handle nudity at that age I think the admins should judge that.
