gameutopia,
glad to see you back in here and being with us. i hope all is well with you.
as for the rules, and rules changes, there were some changes, not anything that would lead one to believe that you can post support questions in the blog. i have just as james, been contacting those who come to the site, new or old, and have not read the rules of the blog. the popup comes up, and the automatically click the "i got it", and never read the rules, therefore, they chose to ignore see more the rules. i would like to see some other method of confirmation that a user has read the rules, just ticking a checkbox, doesnt mean they read, nor saw the first rule.
i say this from experience, as there have been many forums that i have joined, and even when you were forced to scroll all the way to the bottom of the rules as they were set out, i would not read them, and from time to time i have been reprimanded or my post deleted. when i thought i was in the right, and took the time to read the rules, i would find out that in fact i had violated the rules.
from the very beginning when boonex launched this site, i was one that was campaigning that support questions needed to be put in the forums.
other concepts i have mentioned is naming conventions for one who is seeking support for their site, and thread topics such as "my site is broken" or "i cant login" or "i need help" are not acceptable forum thread topics, and i have also seen where those who post under such a topic, start an onslaught of attacks because their post is not answered.
i know its not exact science, but i liken this to going to the doctor, well wait, lets go to a podiatrist, and complain about sleepless and restless nights. ha ha ha, now would one think they are going to be cured from this locale? some would, and we have to pray for those who have such simplistic conventions in their life.
the forums need work, i think they are plain, but then again, i have been around the internet since usenet, and have become accustomed to analyzing the precepts of the site that i am on, and what location i need to go to in order to get the help i need.
yes this was rambling, and that my friend is what a blog is for, as long as its not off topic.
