Tony_Redgrave;75704 said:Guys a new section is out of the question. All you have created is a personal chat room. I'm very displeased with this but since DMC threads are still active, I have no reason to say anything.
My displeasure comes because the previous year the chat room - thread dominated the forum and everyone posted there instead of trying to say anything about Devil May Cry, in this forum which apparently is made for Devil May Cry.
If some new guys want to create a new Order of Whatever thread, feel free to do so. However, if I notice that this will become TOO popular every topic like this will be locked. However if the Devil May Cry threads remain as active as they always were, then I won't do anything. I am with you guys of course, you see that the topic is sticked by me. Impress me for the best, and so it shall remain.
But a section for this topic is absolutely no-no as far as I am concerned. It'll be a continuation of Mallet Island for the veterans who may remember it. For those who don't Mallet Island was a Spam section, with Chat Room as its primary leader topic.
However, I want to hear the members of the rest of the staff as well. But I wanted to say my opinion. I deeply apologize if I sounded kinda hard, but it was my intention. No hard feelings^_^
LordOfDarkness;75706 said:^ none taken, I absolutely agree, no need for more topics or a new section at all.
our topic is a chat room yes, but If anything I think it will be safe to say that it will not dominate *as long as nobody else keeps making similar topics* and as I will stay true to discussing DMC in the chat room and on the forums.

In any forum you visit, I can pretty much guarantee that the "chat" section is the most active. And that's lovely - but we are not, primarily, a site for chatting about whether we are tired today or ate a sammich for lunch. MSN/Skype/etc can serve that purpose instead.
On a more technical note - the more content (threads and posts) generated on this site, the more frequently we are visited by bots and spiders sent by the search engines to check us out and, with some other factors mixed in, get us on the front page of Google. However, if the most popular threads consist of nothing DMC-related and just the words "lol" and "yeah", we're not gonna rank very highly for devil may cry related items which defeats the object of having a DMC fansite. If other topics were just as lively, as Tony has said, it wouldn't be so much of a big deal but unfortunately people tend to lean more towards chat areas once they are available.
A whole new area is unnecessary at this point and will serve no purpose other than to be somewhere to chat - you all have the ability to PM each other, don't forget
But of course! If I need to change any aspect of my sig or whatever in the future then just send me a PM - I get my PM's automatically to my phone anyway so if I'm not online I can read themChaos Master;77060 said:it is for the best...but Angel...will you still be in the Order of R.L.C.,Big Sis...?
