New Irish Forums

Day 344, 19:38 • Published in Ireland USA

• by Michael Collins

I have set up new forums to replace our old freeforums ones. They are on real web hosting, which means no more ads and we have full control over everything. We can also now set up a website if we wanted. In my opinion the new forums are much nicer to look at, but if you don't like the style let me know.

www.erepublik-ie.co.cc

.co.cc was the best free domain I could find, but like I said on our old forums if someone else is willing to help pay we can set up a .com.

Go sign up right now! Forums are much much easier to have discussions on than the media ingame, and it only takes a second to sign up. This is where almost of the discussion about the game takes place. There is no email authentication, and you will be able to see all the main forums and post right away. What are you waiting for?

Dude, I would love to make a site for that. Couldn't furnish that domain though, I keep that for my site. I do have an unrestrained URL (lynkd.us) that will expire in like July or so.

Fionn Day 345, 00:12

I cant reach the site.

mac_talla Day 345, 06:46

I know this was a lot of work, and it looks great....thanks!

andredambreville Day 345, 06:51

I don't see the point in having 200 hundred people joining a new forum. Who decided the forum switching? Who gave Collins the right to do so?

mac_talla Day 345, 07:01

The more the merrier, in my view. Several people requested the change because the adverts were messing with their computers.

Collins, it looks great! Thanks! Can I request that you add the moderater privileges back to the instructors please so we can reset our classrooms, like before? And please do not take down the other forum for a couple of days. Thanks!

andredambreville Day 345, 09:30

Several people?
In the first place some1 took the decision for the original forum. I think for a switch there should be at least a congressmen vote.

andredambreville Day 345, 09:31

If not a "all citizen poll"

mac_talla Day 345, 09:40

So, basically, you are just peeved because you were not part of the decision.

andredambreville Day 345, 10:06

Don't try to raise a flame war mac_talla.
Basically i don't see why a few people say "we switch forum" and all people have to join it, while they didn't take part in the decision. There is an official forum, to change it i don't think should be just collins decision

mac_talla Day 345, 10:12

Take it up with the president, andre.

andredambreville Day 345, 11:43

This is a decision which will much influence even next presidents... so i don't think it can be taken by just the president and few congressmen

Michael Collins Day 345, 12:29

The old forum was very bad. I had been thinking of switching for awhile, and had discussed it with some people before. When I saw people having problems with the ads that kicked me to go do it. I started a poll in the general section of the old forum and people were overwhelming in favour.

Michael Collins Day 345, 14:00

So the people that used the forum regularly and noticed the thread about the new forum are the people that voted to switch forum. Seems fair to me. If you weren't active on the forum and didn't see the thread why should you get to demand a revote for a forum you don't use?

Josiah Roberts Day 345, 14:40

Amen.

5n4keyes Day 345, 15:29

i support the forum move, and the future plans for our website

andredambreville Day 345, 15:30

I'm active in the forum, just i use it only for congress issue. Or i should be forced to read all thread in all categories?

Michael Collins Day 345, 20:11

well... thats kinda the point of categories, certain topics go in certain places. If you only read congress how can you expect to know everything?

andredambreville Day 346, 03:15

LOL collins, some of us have a life. But i think this was a decision important enough to involve the congress, wasn't it?

Inanis Day 346, 04:10

I am 5n4keyes, and I support this message xD
but guys this is good, no adds, and possibily a nicer layout.

Igor Thunderbrow Day 346, 06:19

Page won't load for me 🙁

Is that my problem or is the site down?

Michael Collins Day 346, 09:29

The host is having issues with their servers. It's pretty discouraging when it happens right when I open the forums 🙁

Igor Thunderbrow Day 346, 18:34

Discouraging alright..but it works now and looks great.

I really like the new forums, hopefully they will take off like the last ones did for the last while and I am really looking froward to your plans for a website.

I would offer my help but I am unfortunately not very skilled at such things. However if anything needs doing that does not require much knowledge of what I am doing then do not hesitate to ask me.
