So nice move getting rid of general chat. Sorta like ripping the vocal cords out of a political enemy who you want silenced. Most of us are smarter then you guys think and it's very obvious that was the reason this was done.

...really? This silences you...how exactly?

All of the old general discussion stuff has either been moved to a new home that now categorises what it's talking about, or is in the general discussion archive. You can't start any more discussions under the completely non-specific tag of "general discussion", but you can under quite a few new subforums that will handily provide context for your thread.

You're right, it is obvious why this was done. It allows people find discussions of relevant content more easily, including the devs. It enhances our ability to communicate with each other and the devs.

Wow you actually fell for and believe that? Every single game has a general forum unless they are trying to hide something or don't like the way the conversations are going. Even world of Warcraft, with a player base in the millions has general discussion. If they can moderate it with their large fan base, then pgi should easily be able to moderate the 300 people that still play this game.

Freedom of Speech even.

That is why we have the United States of America. The only country in the world where your natural right to freedom of speech is guaranteed by contract.

Actually, there is more attention in K-Town than any other forum. Why you ask? How you ask? We make your posts better! We are here to enlighten and introduce the Cult of the Mods to you. We are here to turn your bad posts into good posts and thus, hopefully, making you a better poster. We are not miracle workers but we are pretty darn spectacular. Through our mentorship you will be able to post in a positive productive way. The only way to effect positive change. Agent of Change can introduce you to Puffins. He will make everything alright for you.

You're welcome... It is what we do.

Greetings!

Welcome to KAETETôã

Home of the MODS

It is here that we Forge

Terrible threads into bad threads

Bad threads into good threads

And good threads into great threads.

If this thread is new to k-town it is

probably because it is terrible

worry not we are making it better already.

K-town does have 10 Commandments*

*10 for for now

We also have the Sacred Pages penned by the MODS themselves

And

The Gospel of the MODs written by Acolyte of the Word RoadBeer

Also

Enjoy the BATTLE HYMN OF THE MODS / POST LERIAN JIHAD WAR CHANT

Please review these so you too

Can post better and enjoy the blessings of the MODs

While avoiding being smote first

In the coming Digipocalyse.

Praise the MODS, Tremble before the ELDER MODS.

Also part of our family here is the

Post Lerian Jihad

“We Post better than you”

While their official home is now in Depe

Their mission of speaking truth to stupid

And civilizing not just the wilds

But all of the forums.

Enjoy your stay here in K-town

many of us have had far more direct communication with devs and staff since the change. before it was at best rare to see any of them post in a thread and even then it was to end some horrible bit of misinformation.

now i regularly see them pop up in the suggestions forum and even somewhat in the gameplay balance section. i like it now because i see solid evidence that shows they are paying attention. for the first time i have ever seen on these forums there is some 2 way communication. if we had to carve off the gangrenous limb that was general discussion for that, then i consider it a more than fair trade.

I'm sad General Discussion is gone because it created a lot of threads for K-town
