Well I'm new here, but I've been active on VXAN and RMW for awhile, and I really think the only thing holding you guys back is the resources! I mean, resource is in the name of the site, but all I see in the resource threads is ancient stuff! No offense or anything.
Unnecessary sarcasm, 2muchspam
The criticism we give can be harsh at times, but I don't think anyone has been outright awful to someone genuinely wanting to better themselves, at least not in recent memory.Abigaila!?
No I don't mean to stop it completely, every forum has its fun and inside jokes, etc but when the forum's new posts are more spam than anything else ._. I mean come on lol is this an rpg maker community or tumblr. You're right I could message a mod or something, but it's honestly just not worth it. I'd rather just keep lurking in peace.Sorry if I come up as rude, and althou I feel I'm not one to talk, I'm going to say it's that kind of atitude of 'It's not worth it, I'll just lurk' that simply irks me off, You just do it and that's it, report if a member is molesting you or something, the whole not worth the trouble is the problem, because your not bringing any change, and literary, your encouraging it instead.
I'm only replying because there is part of me that does really like this place haha
ResourcesYou're entirely right; the reason I went beyond making dumb little snippet edits and actually learning Ruby and making some decent scripts is the encouragement MA and cozziekuns gave me.
Modern Alg did that for me when I was a noob and made stuff, and it made me super happy. :yuyu: In my newbie brain, THE Modern Algebra had stopped to talk to the likes of me. I was like afrafsawfwYEAHH!!! I felt like a hotshot. B) lol im so lame
ModerationI've checked every reported post in my boards since I became their mod. #qualitystaff #betterthanu #stepupyourgamedee
Like, mods. Yeah. B) I honestly can't tell you guys how many reported posts get ignored. There, I said it. Usually, the reports are over something silly, but I don't want to overlook something actually important.

I get what you're saying, there does seem to be some sort of clique-ish vibe I guess you could say, which might scare some people away in fear of not being accepted or something. But I think we should all just say "fuck it, it's the internet" and post anyway.

...I really like it here, and the way the community is, it really stands a chance to become one of the top three communities again, next to CP and HBGames. I know one thing we'll have to deal with is the drop in rankings that came with shutting down registrations on the site for like a year, but one asset you guys have, is that I happen to be a web developer, and my current specialty happens to be SEO work. I'm willing to help you guys out...
So is yuyu a location? A service? A relevant aspect of rmrk's operation?
If you could change it so that the default theme is the dark theme, that might help. My own reason is that the light theme is way too bright and unexciting for me. But additionally, I imagine people who used to browse through here back when RMRK4-Dark was the default theme at some point or another come back here and see the new light theme... and it, just, doesn't have the same RMRK feeling.It's a lot calmer and easier on the eyes, 'specially if you're a cave-dwelling Mudokon who doesn't see anything bright except their pizza website of choice. I completely agree with you - whenever I load RMRK on a computer I'm not logged in on I have a moment of queasiness before I switch the theme.
Maybe I'm being silly, but I feel like the dark RMRK7 Theme is just more inviting than the light theme :-\
