Game In A Week XIII

Seriously; this place should get more activity!  I never spent much time here because it seemed smaller than other sites.  I guess it just has to be word of mouth that helps it grow, eh?

Gameface101.com is another positive forum, but there's not much activity going on there.

There's a pretty direct correlation between small, positive communities that get along really well...

And large, bustling negative communities that become strict and dissonant.

It's a shame that RMRK is fairly quiet compared to a lot of others, and definitely would be good to see it bigger and busier, but keep in mind that after a certain threshold any forum does tend to fall down the route of needing to become stricter and people get further apart from each other.

Good and bad, but I lke RMRK as it is. All we need is more events or word of mouth or something~

I really enjoy the sorta close-knit aura this place has. It does make me a little nervous to post, but I think that's more on me than any of you guys. :3 I much prefer smaller forums, the larger the forum the more idiots you get, it seems.

Some "other" forum's rules.

Spoiler for:

1. Do NOT insult or flame other users on the board, or anyone else outside of that. This includes the usage of slurs which aren't allowed either.

1.5 DO NOT discuss religion, politics or nationalism (nationalism is defined as discussions about why one country/nation is better than others or why a country/nation is bad) outside the scope of game development.

2. Do NOT discuss how to carry out illegal activities, or any illegal activities you have committed. This includes but is not limited to the use of illegal drugs and piracy.

2.5 Piracy of our own products here is not tolerated, and falls under our instant ban rules.

3. Do NOT post illegal materials.

4. Do NOT post disruptively. This includes, but is not limited to, double posting (posting directly underneath yourself, this is only allowed if 72 hours have passed since your last post), offtopic posts, spamming (which can include one-liners or one-word posts), necroposting (posting in a thread that has been dead for over 30 day), and thread hijacking (posting in another person's thread with your own questions/resources etc. that leads the focus away from the OP and onto you).

4.2 Do NOT create an account just to spam, insult, troll, or criticize our members and or threads.

4.3 Do NOT continue to argue in the same thread after a moderator or admin has used mod voice (blue or red text) to warn you. Please PM the moderator if you wish to discuss your warning, or follow the procedure at the bottom of this post.

5. Do NOT advertise in your posts or profile feed (please see our rules for profile feeds here). You may link to your personal site, game, forum, or resources in your signature. You may not advertise for commercial purposes EXCEPT for games made with RPG Maker XP, RPG Maker VX, RPG Maker VX Ace, or IG Maker.

Pretty sure this topic alone violates all of these.

I prefer Rmrk.

On a side note, I do hope our last judge is dealing with their personal issues well.  I encourage them to post in beanbags if they need to talk. Or anyone to post there if needed.

So why capitalize NOT in every rule. It's like they thought I'd miss it and just assume these were things I was to DO.

Like KilgoreTrout here.

By decree of my extremely impressive Admin status that automatically makes me better than everyone else on the internet and possibly in real life, I hereby ban every single one of you. Please review our forum rules here. Thank you.

*Also do NOT use blue font, as it is reserved for moderators, otherwise I might have to ban you a second time.

that was satire/joke post ok

rules drools

I'm going to ban you for making us read that blue font D:<

THIS SHOULD BE OUR MOD FONT!

woah that looks...3d o.o

I used those colors to show who submitted their projects or dropped out whenever I hosted GIAW XI (?) and that was when I noticed how eye bleed 3D those colors go together.

*pokes head in*

S-s-scores?

No...?

...

Okay

*closes door*

DEATH TO NON BELIEVERS!

DANCE PARTY

A forum I used to frequent has those sort of rules, one of my friends got banned for "Trolling" even though I was doing the same shit and I didn't get banned. It was pretty weird.

Literally we made threads to scream foolishness at each other and out other friend and she got banned but no one else did like... What.

This place is like so relaxed it's a relief.

How the hell did I totally miss that

I think the judges have decided that scores are for noobs. 

Or maybe they're trying to politely tell us that we all got 0/10...

i will tell the next person who posts (approximately) what score i gave them. (out of 1000)
