As Ⅎ₹ѺC₭₩ELDEℲ₹ pointed out (http://war-robots-forum.freeforums.net/thread/12722/universe-growing-war-robotsboards-net), our community is expanding! A new forum has popped up at War-Robots.boards.net. Just wanted to share in the General section so people might see. Check it out!

It doesn't appear to offer anything this one lacks. Is it just for Insane D, mijapi, and Blastronaut?

i wish all good luck to the new forum, apart the vitriol comments above.
I do believe in plurality, the game will gain benefits in having more platforms of discussion. Don't think there ever will be any competition between the forums, as both have nothing to gain from that.
hopefully being able to talk about some aspects of the game, will help pixonic to throw light and fix them much better than by leaving them in the dark.

The main difference is moderation. You can say things you dislike about Pixonic and/or game changes without being punted. This is a bit misleading -- it's been my experience that you can say pretty much whatever you want about Pix here. Hell, if it weren't for the complaining, traffic would be a fraction of what it is. They want to run a free-for-all with no rules, that's great, and all will be fine as long as membership stays low. They'll soon understand the importance of the need for guidelines and moderation required to enforce them. I've seen this exact same thing before, where a handful of malcontents and attention-seekers spin themselves off because they don't like the rules somewhere, and it inevitably turns into one big gripe-fest about the place they all left/were asked to leave. Not saying that's what's going on there, nor am I saying whatever they're doing is a bad thing, just going by what I've seen in the past, and I honestly can't be bothered looking for myself. I'm all set right where I am. C'est la vie.

To my knowledge no member has ever been "punted" (I assume you mean banned) for voicing their opinions on Pix and/or game changes. If we were doing that, there wouldn't be a Rants section, instead calling it Ban Me. Now if I can just figure out why I suddenly want a Vietnamese style sandwich.....

Absolutely nothing wrong with having different platforms to air views on. It seems to me however that particular board was created to mimic this one by people who feel that want to go by their rules, be they what they are. Depending on how views are expressed or how complaints are put forward or how posters behave, I have not seen people banned from here on a whim. If the new board can throw light on game aspects that have not been touched upon in here then, that is marvellous and commendable. But I have seen many a time when outcasts form their own clique just so that they belong.

The site is for fellow War Robots players. Its not meant to take away from this place. As many of us are still members on this forum too. It's a little more relaxed atmosphere in some ways so you can be yourself. This is how things are on the deplorables discord we use. It's fun and wild over there at times. Discord does have its limits. So we thought have a msg board spin off with the same feel would be worth a try.
I've been doing msg boards for about 18 years or so. Creating, admin, mod etc. So I was happy to lend a hand. Ive tried to make the board look nice and added some refinements. Also an attached discord to the board. So people can see who's online connected to the discord channel. They can see if people are squading in voice comms etc etc. I thought that might be a fun way to connect and promote voice communications to the game.

As long i do see people using their energies to build instead to destroy, i'm happy with that. profoundly happy. It's the only possible positive outcome after disasters.

So if you feel you've been called that, then you're reading that into it yourself. Anyway, that label applied to the individuals who actually established the alternate sites that I had seen in the past, not the members of it. From what I've seen, I'd say there's evidence of this being a similar situation. Just my opinion.

I'm all set right where I am. C'est la vie. I agree with you. And managing a hockey league, I saw that situation also in which a group of very doubtful persons ended up creating their own league with of course, their own systems which happen to be in their own personal interest. Not saying it's the same here, but that certainly raises some questions to me. I'll just stay here.

At the end of the day, it's only a forum. I'm not sure it brings anything more than what we have here, but whatever, best of luck to everybody I suppose.

I predict both boards will compliment one another...And as it has been said, a more open environment to express yourself has been a great success with the Deplorable's Discord... War-robotsboarads.net will hopefully emulate that success and play host to the more colorful personalities in the player base...
And yes there is a slight competitive element involved, but this will make both places that much better for it. Win/win.

That aside, I like having different boards, as long as there's some difference that makes it worth the split. In this case, the new board has a lot looser posting standards which- funnily enough- I really enjoy.

The new forum has a lot of the members I pay the most attention to in this forum, so I joined. There's nothing wrong with being a member of two forums.

Another forum coming soon: warrobots.proboards.com/I've communicated with a representative of Pixonic and they are open and interested in moving away from Reddit and into a more centralized/dedicated forum. We'll see what happens. Hopefully this ProBoards platform will allow for advance features and plugins otherwise we will have to find something else.
