Morpheus Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 WEll..i know what u say..and i agree....but..i think it should be....maybe what u should do is one but not that ACTIVE...coz in the older forums...in my point of view...all was about the shop....maybe u should make it....but not with a lot of items..or a lot of options....also u can install the usershop.....which will make the shop not that important.... maybe the shopv1.24 will fit better in the forums.... is up to u..not to me...so what u decide...i will respect it...

Spaz The Great Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Actually i like the idea of a shop with user items. Like the name glows, edit users, change name, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallpancake Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 arg, a shop on the old forums turned it into like the GTA Spam Capital of the internet. Like pyro lol....It ruined the boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 It dus cause a lot of problems, that shop....... For name glows and stuff liek that, you could just run gfx comps or whatever, rather than money.... Just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 i hate those name glow etc. it's really annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggamer132 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Well, the shop also had other bad sides. People would sell things they weren't supposed to, etc. etc., for money. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: -Really cool -Way to make the forums more fun Cons: -Spam -Black Market (selling things illegally, spam shops) -Reason to hack and give youself money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazychicken17 Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 I couldn't care less whether it stays or not. But, Chris has made up his mind, so if you want the shop, tough. The shop was cool and fun, and attracted members, but it attracted spam, and rulebreaking for money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimoo Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Surely if there's no shop then we wont be able to have decent gang wars though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 we are still considering a shop and decent gang wars can happen without a shop, just take a look at how gtaforums do it, having shop makes it much more complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimoo Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 How do GTAForums do it? I've never really liked those forums so I wouldn't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 they dont have weapons at all, not even a shop. The gangs organize flame wars themselves and hold them in The Pit (thats there version of our WarZone). They work there extremely well as they have very big gangs, and smaller ones, with great layouts and experienced members biggamer can tell you more, he is an active member there i'm not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Personally i think the flame war idea is retarded. No one can be "good" at fuckin flaming someone. Thats just dumb. If we use flame wars im closing X-1 and leaving.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 tell us how you would like a war to go then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimoo Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Yeah I'm not very good at flaming and flaming results in spamming IMO. I'd like one like the one that you had last time(I wasn't actually a member then but I heard it was really cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I preferred the older battles. The one we had was cool. We could have someone make us a property mod thing, where we could own property and destroy it which would make it alot easier then when we did it...

Chris Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 well there is a limit to what you can do on a forum, if we did it like last time then i'll let you guys sort it out becuase you obviously know how it should be done, then i'll edit it to make it acceptible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazychicken17 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I think all the rules we had were really shaping up in the staff room... in fact, I think we were perfectly ready for another gang war at least a month before the forums closed! But now, without the shop mod, it wouldnt work at all... so: We should reinstall the shop mod, but be more strict. Anyone abusing it will be banned. And there should be a limit on ho wmany trading stall shops you can open, and you cant open 'Pay money for a picture' or 'pay money to get your name at the top of a list' shops: Only lottos or personal shops. Or games which are essentially like lottos (i.e, pay money for the chance of winning more money) like Ammu-Nation, but these must have limits to how far you can take the idea.

biggamer132 Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Surely if there's no shop then we wont be able to have decent gang wars though Well, if you were here before, you could have read the topic for the first gang war, and you would know we didn't have decent gang wars anyway. Also, CC was right Chris. The shop mod did cause spam, but the reason it couldn't be controlled is that you refused to be strict about the rules.
