too many post-its on the front page kill discussions

[Tekhamon]

This is my personal opinion, how about you?

[Thunderchrome]

you mean the pinned stuff?

 

agreed. i hate it

[Wyndle]

Needs a decay timer.  Reclaim the forum space!

[J-Rod]

yes waaaaaay too many post its

 

[Aaron Cain]

Might be a strategic decision as it limits the amount of posts that really matter to community

I completely agree.  Nobody can read my rant about the Thoramine collectables because of too many pinned posts about things that everybody has already read.  I mean, as a general rule if there are over 40 pages of discussion the discussion should be done, right?

 

Perhaps we should just add our talking points into the comments on whatever thread is at the top instead of having different threads for different subjects?

You know, I think I remember seeing or hearing something about the Thoramine situation.  Where you perhaps a little salty about it?  

[Deathknight]

I agree. I do see threads get unpinned, but there are just so many. Things that players actually want to discuss just fall off the first page and then the official pinned threads end up being the only discussion that is going on, which tends to be the same complaints over and over.

i like them in general but yes i agree there are just too many. like we don't need the discussion thread for two factor authentication still pinned. and it hasn't been responded to for like three months

[Wyndle]

If NQ needs those topics to be easy to find give them their own section.

[Deathknight]

Yes, this is a discussion forum. Posts like the 2FA one are kept around because it is important information, but it is no longer a topic of conversation. Move all this stuff to its own section and let some player posts get up near the top!

[Triopalite]

Way to much pinned stuff.

[Wyndle]

Getting the scroll bar to 2/3rds of the way to the bottom just to see the first unpinned comment is excessive.

[Deathknight]

Oh look, this post is no longer on the 1st page anymore but we have sticky posts that have not had a reply since July.

[Jinxed]

They should just do what literally every other company does by creating a forum for these discussion threads. 
 

but NQ love doing things other companies don’t. 

[lunaprey]

100% agree. The dev team just pins their own spam. They have lost all touch with reality or their playerbase. I will celebrate them all losing their jobs when this company goes under after their failed launch.

Clean-up of the pinned topics is coming for the launch. Please be patient a bit more.
With that, will come a smoother process to reply to announcements.

 

@Aaron Cain
No conspiracy theory, please...

@lunaprey

You've crossed a line here.
We can understand that you can be frustrated by the price increase, but rejoycing/celebrating/hoping/whishing for people to loose their jobs, whatever the situation may be is an absolute no go. You're not welcome on this forum anymore.

Let’s be real here, it’s not that hard to scroll past all the pinned stuff. Also, when you do, it’s mostly shitposting by people who don’t even play anymore anyway.

[TonyTones]

Just 12 more pins till page 1 is full

[Aaron Cain]

so i posted a conspiracy theory? Lol, it was meant informative, could be read as cynical but these days its much easier to place people under conspiracy spammers and set them in the lunacy bench. If you really want conspiracy it is very easy to write a nice epistle on JC moving on, kickstarter promises, servers and pending patents.

 

There is a channel announcements and a channel general, it would be very easy to make a special channel for all the pinned posts and keep the general section free for public, giving a reason why that might not have been the chosen route is not persee conspiracy.  Telling your kids will become authistic by vacination is, or that we never landed on the moon but in a studio.

 

next time ill be more clear in my elaborate epiphany moments

[Jinxed]

I want this game to succeed and I certainly don’t understand lunaprey’s weird flex. 

 

And The Seven Heavens know I’ve pumped enough money into it to buy two copies of NMS, two copies of ED and a star citizen starter pack. 
 

but I just don’t see how a company that makes so many odd judgement calls (like just the forums being overrun with pins, for example) that seem to defy common sense will be able to pull off what 19 out of 20 other start ups fail to achieve: a profitable company within five years.

 

I hope I’m wrong and that DU gets 10,000 subs off the bat. Enough to cover even 7% of the 150k tiles or whatever there is on sanctuary. But since most players will no longer be ALTing given the new prices, I have my doubts.
