Important Forum Changes

Aww come on, RPGs are fun to be involved in. You'd rather have no games or RPGs? Fine. RPGs don't even have that big of a impact on Pokebeach. We just take turns exploring a world or something. Isn't that fun? I'd rather have some games/RPGs hanging around. Zyflair is right. RPGs aren't that pointless.

Wait! Before we end this, I'd like to say something. We could give up the games forum and replace it with a RPG forum. The RPGs could be moved into that forum. It might be called RPG Forum. Or something, is this a good idea?

Why make a forum for things that don't make an impact? That would be like making a "Favorites Forum". There would be no point.
 
This is the last time I'll respond to you, LPG. RPGs are pointless and serve no application for the website. We'd rather have the people who only play RPGs off of the website anyways. There are better sites for that... The fun and legitemate ones can stay for a distraction from the main site: but nothing more than that... a distraction. RPGs are for the sake of having fun, and that's it. That doesn't solve the problem we are looking to solve: player skill from Pokebeach being at an all-time minimum. The purpose of Pokebeach is to help improve the TCG and VGC communities. RPGs in no way help to accomplish that. We will allow them to give people a fun distraction, but not to be a main attraction as they already were. You seem to be one of the few who thinks that they are fun. Most RPGs are both mindless and plotless. Those are bad and should be nuked anyways. Remove those and you'll only be left with two or three RPGs anyways. Think of it as us making a better quality control system for RPGs...
 
Oh, right. I nearly forgot. Why don't we add the prefix to that forum. It would be better, but I suggest a RPG forum. Moving those RPGs into Entrainment and Games is a bit confusing, because where are the games?

RPGs have the potential to actually be better than something obviously pointless like the Ban Game. Besides, wasn't it your role as the Game forum mod to help get the quality of RPGs up anyhow (before the forum got the ax)?

This. Hint, hint, hint.

What you're saying is a little rude, Zero. Remember what Zyflair said. Many of my friends, such as Snivylover555, MrGatr, Zyflair and a bunch of other people have played in RPGs. They are fun once you've played those, Zero. I feel that you have never, ever played in a RPG here at PokeBeach. Go away. ;(
 
Saying RPG's serve no purpose for the forums has not one valid argument. RPG traffic is one of, if not the, most popular part of this forums as a whole. Have you even seen some of the reply counts for the RPG's? I'd guess not. But anyways some, like a few said earlier, of the more important RPG's are being saved so discussing it any furthur would be pointless. And we don't only play RPG's. I have a 300+ post count and RPG post do not count toward that.
 
Just because something is popular doesn't mean it adds anything valuable to the forums. Take The Ban Game, for example.

Oops, forgot for a second there that Pokebeach was a site only made to become a fun-sucking vacuum cleaner of death. Sorry bro.

Don't get me wrong, most if not all RPGs suck, but the good ones (if you can really call them RPGs) like WW, The Challenge, and Big Brother should stay.
 
LPG, I don't know how many times this has been said, but im going to say it again (In bold)

There will not be a forum for RPG's, because there will only be a few RPG's that will remain. Yes they are fun. No we will not have more than a couple of them
 
I don't know if you notice, or even know the how to dicern them, but the ban game was most certainly not an RPG. It was a game that only you only needed a 5 word post (at the max) to participate in. It was, in all good taste, worthless.
 
We want to focus on the responses and popularity of TCG or VG threads. Not games. The idea here is to make the forums as a whole more professional, and many of the YPPY games and bad RPGs are dragging us down.
I do agree that RPGs that are well-thought out can be great. But like SR said, a few select games will remain.
 
the good ones are staying from what I understand. such as werewolf.

And hatman, fun-sucking vacuum cleaner of death? are you kidding? This is a Pokémon site. Not a game site. Therefore, shouldn't you find Pokémon fun? If you think playing Pokémon VG or TCG is a fun-sucking vacuum cleaner of death, go find another forums. lol.

Does the staff have a list of RPG's that will remain? Or will you guys use the time until the forum shuts down to decide which one's stay?
 
@Sweet Dawn: We're still deciding on the others but Werewolf will most likely be one of them.
 
I like the idea of trimming up RPG's. They're often too complex for the structure a few people can provide.

Obviously I'm a bit biased :p but eliminating groups seems a poor decision. There were certainly issues, but reforms could have been made before calling it quits.

Ah, I see. Only a matter of time before we see the other RPG's that get spared.
 
Do you guys know where all the trade threads are going? Thanks. My thread is pretty active and I have about 500 events coming very soon now so I want to be able to still manage my trade thread as always. Thanks.:)
