SpawnPoint - Where Game Begins

Just a reminder to active and prospective admins that forum participation is a requirement. That's not to say you have to post every single day, but just participate in ongoing or past discussions and add something (even if it's small) to let us know you're still there (or there at all if you're looking to become an admin).

Happy Friday (zomg Friday!) and have a good weekend :)

Pretty much what rob said.
Good luck with that.

It doesn't matter if the rule is difficult to impose or not, it's a requirement and it'll stay that way. We need to know our admins are still checking in/still there.

I could actually simplify that further...

I bet on 11/11/2011, there are going to be a lot of MIA people installing their copy of Skyrim....I will be one of them!

I am excited about modding Skyrim. I actually have 3 weapon mods posted for Dragon Age in the top 10 over on the DANexus. My partner and I actually have the number 1 endorsed weapon mod there. I have enough machine to play Skyrim now too which is also exciting lol.

In all fairness Rob, most of the reason these forums are dead have to do with a VERY bad decision some years back coupled with the fact that CSS is old news and outdated now. Phil and the others try hard but it is like trying to hold an alvalanche back with your bare hands. Having BF3 and COD MW3 coming out will also spell decreased activity that the current staff will have zero control over and now that the RPGs graphics and mods are getting to be as good as the gameplay, those are stealing people away as well. I have completely switched over to RPGs like Dragon Age series, Oblivion, Mass Effect (woot! ME3 spring next year!!!) ect. and don't even play fps anymore.

I think there maybe hope. If any.
As you said rob CSS is practically dead and even deader on our servers. But if things work out with our SSS we could possible see maybe CS:GO servers, which if luck works with us, We could possible see a nice good amount of incoming admins.
But, i still think we should have never switched forums.

Sadly i have not been getting on the servers much recently, well not at all, there is so much going on for me at the minute with work, van problems, BF3 being out and just general not getting the time, but i will be on the forums whenever i have the time. It is a sad truth that the forums have died down a lot, but it doesn't stop us trying to encourage those people who just look at them and don't post or those people who just don't bother at all to come on here to join in. How can the forums pick up if there is around 8 people who actually regularly post? (A number plucked from the sky)

The requirement is for prospective admins to post, we have to see them post to see they are on here, and so we can get to know them out of game and to see they can post constructivly and able to respond to any incidents reported. And it is always nice to see people who have admin not give up on the forums just because they got what they wanted.

As for CS:S being a dying game, i personaly agree that it is, it has been out a long time now, and now adays i have little motivation to play it, i have gotten bored with it and must need a break from the game, something that battlefield 3 is giving me. And like said with all these big releases coming up in this month and the followng it is likely that the game will get even quieter, Skyrim, MW3, Batman Arkham City (PC), Saints Row The Third, LA Noire even comes out on PC on the same day as skyrim so it is likely that people will suddenly stop.

I don't know how much hope there is in CS:GO they have no fixed release day and they say it wont be released until it is ready and the BETA players say it is ready. So it could be quite a while till we see that coming along. It would just be nice to see more of the current admins start participating more in discussions, or creating some.

Off topic Saints Row The Third is getting my time when it comes out, got it pre-ordered and i am looking forward to that bad boy. Not sure about Skyrim, it has my attention but it isn't going to be a rush purchase for me, With it being a bethesda game i think i will give it a month before buying after what happened with new vegas.

This is a bit sad.

One thing i would like to see is a few BF3 servers, Everyone can agree that CSS is dead as a rock and ours servers are pretty much just collection dust and wasting our fearless leader money. But, Just my thought on the matter.
