Plugging the forums

Just a little idea, we need an update to the front page bulletins, why not use one to simply advertise the forums?

For example,

Hey there HMW player! If you haven't done so already, or even lately, why not spin by the HMW forum and join in the fun?

The HMW forum is dedicated to enhancing your HMW experience. There's a lot to offer from player run contests (tournaments, alt hunts etc) as well as interviews with players, role play interviews with HMW characters, plus it's a great place to strike up a rivallry, taunt your opponents, round up some backup, make some friends as well as discuss many of HMW's current and upcoming features!

So what are you waiting for? Just click the "Discussion Board" link to your left and join in!

What a totally original and clever idea. Why hasn't anybody ever mentioned this before?

Because 95% of the time we're telling you to stop whining and come up with something creative yourself! :P

Yet the 5% had the right idea all along.

I like it, since it'd be rather nice to have some new people posting in this forum.

I suggested it a fair while back and it was implied that the support crew would be doing it in the future, dependant on site alterations. Not sure if thats the case now.

Its a great suggestion.

I am, however, suprised Mkall and AS arent submitting something to Glyph every now and then for their factions to update with. They both RPG in the game forum here, can they do it there too?

I like it. Sounds nice and appealing without being pushy or forceful. Rivalry is spelt wrong though, so whomever choses to use this one, should spell check it. Goodness, nothing pisses me off more than incorrect spelling.* Which is ironic with all the slang and abbreviated words that I use, right?

Word.


*Please don't take offense, Burn. I'm certain that spell check didn't cross your mind. Ha!

Ha! I cringe CONSTANTLY when I read some of the articles here on Seibertron and many other forums from Spell Check alone. Don't even begin to mention the mediocrity of word choice, verbage, and horrifyingly incorrect grammar. *Shudders* Just thinking about that sends chills down my spine and causes me to grind my teeth.

HEY!!! Leave my wife alone. She's entitled to be perturbed with the lack of spell-check on these posts, articles, and such. Hee hee!

Word.

Edit: Had to correctly spell "perturbed," or I'd never hear the end of it.

And as the great debate went, such announcements are suppose to be for "official" events.
Though if the support staff thing was up and running properly such contests would be "official" all the time.

Maybe even just a "Upcoming Events" blurb, even for non-official things. :-?

You need to be able to type full words before you can spellcheck them. :P

Wait...Psychout was burned by Burn, great stuff.

You made a good point though, it would be nice if the forums were more active.

The upcoming events "blurb" is a nice idea too.

Someone agrees with me they're instantly an arse kisser? :???:

Honestly, you're as bad as Lucky Edgecrusher. While you may not have the negative posts, you really don't contribute anything to make this place better. :P
