no more TF2 threads?

09-24-2007, 05:09 PM

all closed/moved? Lame...
I agree this is not a TF2 forum but its still team fortress for a HL game.
But ok, discussions about a competiting product seem not welcome...

i'm not sure why the tf2 thread was closed, it's a general tf mod discussion forum and it stands to reason that tf2 discussion in general or in comparison to ff is unavoidable and would lead to other threads being created instead.

This is the "General Discussion" forum for Fortress forever. Why the fuck would the mods leave threads discussing TF2 here????

well the shortened form of what I originally wanted to write is:
TF2 is cool, plays smoothly but engi(incl. his stuff) is overpowered and CP-maps suck a lot...

"Discuss anything about Fortress Forever or Fortress mods in general."

If the 2 games could be discussed properly it wouldn't be an issue it's the typical kids who get involved e.g. mike gaynor who set out solely to try and put this mod down.
p.s while your at it remove the thread with said kids posting FF player numbers and telling us all it's already dead, anyone who looks on these forums with the possibiility of trying this mod out may be put off by people being so negative about a game this is only just over a week old.

**mervaka** · 09-24-2007, 05:23 PM

yup. basically they were locked because it was just endless trolling back and fourth.. i dont care if you think FF/TF2 is lame.

Paft · 09-24-2007, 05:24 PM

People were saying the same things over and over. Those threads were as boring as hell and tl;dr stuff that's why.

09-24-2007, 05:26 PM

yeah but let people post boring stuff... Nobody is forced to read them. There is no reason for closing

A massive thread on how FF sucks because of this and TF2 sucks because of this isn't exactly the kind of thing a dev wants in their forum as the first thing a new player reads. This isn't a public gaming forum where people are encouraged just post wtf ever knee-jerk reaction they have to a game that they spent 1 hour playing, its a forum dedicated to information/constructive discussion of FF. If a person has a problem/suggestion for the game then they should take it to the suggestions board.

The last thing this community needs is to chase away new players from the get go. That may not be why it was locked, but IMO it's a good enough reason in and of itself.

**mervaka** · 09-24-2007, 05:42 PM

yup, pretty much. i was pretty close to locking it on those grounds, but then someone beat me to it.

i think it odd that somebody would know the reasons why a thread was closed and then open another one stating that reason to try to 'dig the hole deeper'

The thread was sh*t you're sh*t, this thread will soon be sh*t.
Yes that is a valid reason. :>

The number one rule on must forums - Do not argue with the moderator.

The number two rule - If you do not like the rules, see rule number one.

Paft... you forgot your meds again.

Anyway, the answer was in the last post of the thread.

It was a huge pissing match. There was not even a horse carcass left to beat.

I did not remove the thread but rather closed it so anybody who wondered about it could see why it was closed and that it was not "hidden from view".

I take it at night before bed. I know what you're thinking, No I don't take it like that.

I wondered about exact that statement. Can't FF-team afford the storage space for such long threads?
