Hi everyone, Hokay, so I have been talking with Elusive about the issues currently found with our forums and he suggested the following: Merge RTS-Sanctuary into Voobly. Basically what this is going to do is make the maintenence of our forums easier for Elusive and thus it will be a better place for us to be. At this point nothing will happen, our forums will stay like this and you have nothing to worry about. So if you don't want this to happen just hold your tongue for now because it's not your turn to talk. :P What Elusive needs for now is the FEATURES which we will NEED in order to have any chance of convincing people to move. Of course as RTS-Sanc is owned by voobly they can always just shut this site down... but then they risk losing us to our own private forum as AoC currently is at... So, currently this site has the following blatantly obvious features which need to be carried over: - Recorded game support for uploading and storing recorded games. - Forums (duh) - A portal which has the AoT news, Top ladders (customizable preferably), Popular/Game Type recorded games (customizable), Game of the Week (customizable) - Recorded game search feature - Expert tags/Top of the ladder tags/Other random tags ;) I want to know, stuff i missed, stuff which should be added, stuff which we definately DON'T want, ect. ect.

Explain the merge please Boit. The voobly forums would get the features this site has? Does the database on here get saved? So worried. I'm a bit confused about how it all will look in the future :S Some stuffs : GOTW for sup and DM We already have the voobly mods, so np Favorite god in profile field(goes with tags I guess) DM expert tag! +what you said |

Basically, from my understanding. Instead of the AoT forums being hosted at RTS-Sanc, they will be hosted at Voobly. QUOTE Explain the merge please Boit. This means we'll get more support, more goodies, more everything. QUOTE The voobly forums would get the features this site has? This is what we are talking about at the moment. I'm trying to work out what the work load for Elusive will be in order to make this happen and whether or not I need to put any effort into convincing the unconvincable community that the change will be good >.> QUOTE Does the database on here get saved? Yes. |

There is no change then, and there is no down side. You wouldn't even need a vote there 11 |

It's up to the workload as to whether this happens. Some things might need to be canned. Best cast scenario is www.RTS-Sanctuary.com becomes www.voobly.com/[insert aot name for forum] and all things which aren't working are fixed... That might be too much work though and some stuff might get canned, in that case there will need to be a vote. |

The databases were transferred to voobly servers when the site switched owners, weren't they? Aside from reducing costs (and even that only when there's no massive time investment in order for this to happen) there's no positive outcome in sight. You'll probably have to lure the community with just the looks and functions of the current rtss forum and add even more features to have full support :S |

Don't fix what isn't broken. This site is the only reason a lot of people play this game. Its not necessary to merge anything. Also, what do you mean by 'current issues facing these forums.' They are running better than how they were when they were unmoderated, and its nothing that cant be fixed from inside. This post has been edited by LoVe_HellsRavage: Dec 20 2012, 01:04 AM |

Thought this was some sort of deep debate about the possibility of terraforming mars or other parts of space and what technology could be used to accomplish such a ft. Left very disappointed. |

The move, if there is one, would simply be a change of name with benefits and maybe a new style sheet. This isn't a thread where you can say we don't need to move, this is about ideas we could implement when/if we move. |

What I care about is that old players will only find voobly through this site, they might check ESO and wouldn't find anyone and might check here and find out about voobly. Just like DoD_Power did...... What we need to do... Is advertise Voobly at the main page of RTS sanc site (AOM and Titans Section), something like, "Play AOT for FREE at Voobly.com"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASAP and a link which explains what Voobly is, DoD_Power couldn't understand what Voobly was. :rasb: This post has been edited by LNC_GoldenAxe: Dec 22 2012, 07:47 AM |
