From the twitter

You mean...I can kill you all now! ****ers!.

 

Yep, I agree.

If there's the odd trouble-maker, that's what the job of a moderator is for. Handle it and let everybody else keep enjoying themselves.

Why ruin things for everybody just because of a few? It's like taking multiplayer out of AC because some races have crashers in them.

 

Luca, what could be more toxic than developers that pay more attention to jerks (and trolls) like PRC than to modders that create fine legal free content?

 

Let's stop before this thread gets locked too, it's our last bastion of fun.

 

One kendo, trying with a well balanced wood sword... Hey, I got beaten to the core!!!

 

Maybe just create a "talk about everything here" thread, pin it, write a nice opening post with some basic rules. There would be a place to just chit chat instead of spamming all over the forums in every thread. I know it's not a magic cure but you could be less strict for OT posts (lol all of them would be on topic in an off topic thread) in that "talk about everything thread here" and more strict for OT posts in all other threads.
That way finally FB thread wouldn't be a thread about everything (yeah right)...
@AC Support

My two penneth ,

This place is probably the least toxic game forum I've even known and by a large margin! The disagreements have been generally relatively well tempered with almost no racism or xenophobia. Unless there has been a handful of spiteful forummers spamming the devs with over hyped complaints I really struggle to what the problem is.

The occasional mass spat like the VR voting is bound to happen occasionally and is astoundingly rare for a game forum.

The FB thread was never entirely on topic and as it ended up being the de facto AC chat about stuff thread why not leave it as that ?

So is it time for us to move entirely over to RD and leave the devs to build their game in peace and quiet they seemingly crave ?


I hope not but I'll respect their wishes.

 

Surprised it got locked. It was just friendly chit chat 99% of the time... A random chit chat thread needed.

 

Maybe full-time lawyer part-time sim racer came in for some help and got absolutely slated for it and threatened legal action.

 

I also think that the most toxic days are long gone, propably since Stefano's streams. Such a big forum in the simracing world ... it would be cool if they dont trim it down to really be only a support forum. Closing the modding section for sure took away a great chunk of this forum's charme. Oh man, why did they do it again?

 

I'd also like to have a clarification in terms of "off-topic" for real-life motorsports-related posts and threads (like my onboard video thread and threads about racing series like WEC, Blancpain GT and SuperGT). I thought it would be good to get the community to engage and talk about those in the environment of this forum, as they're clearly related to the content of the racing simulation, but I'm not sure if that's actually welcome.

I get the amount of work this forum is for such a small team, Kunos, but still... just be wary not to kill off your own community. Don't pull the same thing as Bioware and others before them. Whatever they might say but in all reality social media doesn't replace a good old forum platform. =\

 

Well I understand the devs especially moderators.
Luka has not only to make audio for game, but also provide support and moderate a huge forum.
I was a moderator once for a tiny forum and I know how hard it can be.
Small company, many tasks.
It's ok.
On the other hand, a free chat thread is needed for sure .
People don't have always facebook, Twitter etc or just want to share the hype .
It's good for the game, it brings sales and attention.

IMO huge amount of posts was exactly the problem. You couldn't count it, but what really decreased is amount of exciting and interesting posting, from core community members.
I guess, Kunos prefered less weight and responsibility on their shoulders caused by hyper active community, especially demanding modders. It had negative effects. For example posting became more vain.

We still have General modding support forum, and RD for shameless showcasing our eternal WIP's

But really what happened, I think, Stefano got mad that nobody mods 250GTO for him Maybe thats the main reason why AC supports car modding lol

 

That is true of course, about the number of users in total, question would be the number of active users.

It´s your forum, so totally your decision.

 

Most likely facebook thread wouldn't have been shut if Michael hadn't acted like a spoilt brat throwing his dummy out the pram.

 

ok ok relax guys, last thing we need is another arguement.

back on topic though racedepartment just put up a beast of an article about the situation of AC right now, its a pretty nice read

http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/sim-racing-the-big-mid-season-review-part-1.124630/

 

So it is my fault that guys like you can't stay on topic for more than two posts? Sounds legit.

 

In 2016 I can't believe there are people that expect threads to stay strictly on topic.

Just like real life, conversations meander all over the place. I understand the personal attacks being a no no, but jesus, a strict adherence to a thread topic is ridiculous.

 

I thought this thread was about Twitter?

 

I see what you did there. Here, have a like!


And, twitter!
