I can't speak for everyone, but for the most part, folks aren't saying that there is no need for *any* other channels. They are just pointing out that making a channel with the same theme (eg. unmoderated) as an already established, larger channel (eg. Champions United) might not be the best idea because it divides players. If you have 2 groups of people who want the same thing (no moderation), then it makes sense to merge the channels to boost activity via number of players. The redside vs blueside separation is not helpful, IMO, because with both sides in the same channel, it makes it easier to track what is going on on both sides so players can switch and take part.

By no means am I saying that you can't or shouldn't make/promote a channel. Just trying to point out some things for consideration as the OP tries to recruit people for the channel so that they have better results.

I remember you and the people supporting your view who are in your bmt channel, being generally inviting and friendly, at times that's been replaced with snarky and overbearing corrections to players.

And yet you all tell every new visitor to join your channel, lol.




Maybe you should stop recommending your channel to newcomers, in the event they ask about a set bonus, or some other random act of game fun.




If you can't have friendly game chatter sometimes on supposedly your main channel, I guarantee you'll get better treatment on Virtue and Freedom's main global channels from my experience.


Your servers population's been shrinking, so maybe others already figured that out.

They are generally friendly, but even their tolerance for stupidity and laziness has it's limits. As for your opinion o' myself, I won't lose any sleep over it.

Actually, I don't recommend the channel to anyone. I don't spam invites to the channel to everyone in Atlas Park to increase our member list. If someone sends me a tell to invite someone, I will. That's about it. And there's plenty o' questions that get asked that do get answered in a friendly fashion. However, things that are clearly and consistently for months at a time in the MotD that clearly aren't bein' paid attention to by the playerbase will eventually get met with a negative response as people, myself included, get tired o' answerin' questions that have already been answered in some fashion, or where the answer is readily available.

You can chat all you want, friendly-like, as long as it's within the previously established parameters o' the channel. And I don't personally care about other servers. So that's a moot point.

If people are leavin' the server over a single global channel, then its entirely likely that the server is better off without'em.

Because that would be incredibly annoying, he said pointedly.

Wow. And we call ourselves the community server. Some of us have to give our heads a shake.

Cobalt is a bit of an ***, even he admits it.

Syncophantic bull$h!t.

I get that it can be very frustrating to see the same question over and over again. Especially if the answer is right there in front of their eyes.

I don't think there's a problem asking or telling people to read the MotD. As _Cherry_ said, the mods put in a lot of effort to ensure it stays up to date and contains all the relevant information.

For me personally, I just don't think the attitude is needed. I'm a big boy, I'm not offended by being told to read the F anything. The fact that we are all, for the most part, adults here and shouldn't get too butthurt about this kind of thing is moot.

Even if its partly in jest, even if its totally warranted because ******* the information is right there, the hostility and attitude aren't necessary for the channel to function.

I thought people were getting snarky about channels being made for BMT's existing purpose? The suggestion was let people take their chatter to PMs or to chatter-based channels, and leave BMT for BMT business. >.>

Personally, to weigh in, I'm all for people making focused channels as well for these sorts of things, such as BMTR. But by the same token, I only really recommend it for people comfortable (like me) with having multiple chat windows open at once. Don't leave one group to join the other... THAT'S where we're weakening ourselves with this petty fighting.

I just took a look at them and I was about to say the same thing.

And this thread has gone on long enough, It's purpose has been fulfilled: There's a BMT Redside channel. Join it or don't, it doesn't matter.

There.

Let me kill another thread.

You heard Cherry, it's not for the weak. An ancient form of Australian hypnotism that makes the ladies weak at the knees, passed down from father to son back when we were convicts.

Hey, can anyone tell me how I can find out the overall shifts in population of the server and of a channel?

I keep seeing folks referring to how the server and BMT are losing people, so I figure these statistics must be available because surely these respectable and trustworthy folks wouldn't be making **** up just to try to support their side of the argument.

Anyway, if anyone has an issue with the moderating of BMT of Champion, feel free to send me a tell/PM. I'll care. A lot. No, really.

Oh, and good luck to the SG channels. I hope all the members enjoy themselves.

Don't take it personally if you think I was mean to you. I'm an ******* to everyone.

The channel lost two people last week, and gained at least five this weekend.
