How to give the community itself a boost?

[Que]

Topics are locked when the question or questions have been answered in such cases there is no need to keep such a topic open.

I know.

They are also locked when a topic is going far off track and will quite clearly never go back on track.

I know.
Still, this section was one of the most crowded places on the forum. Now it is deadly empty.

I'm still sticking to my guns that this should be in speakerbox as the community doesn't consist of SA:MP only players however large the base is over here.

Please let us continue with our thoughts instead of replying to move the topic, just like you did above this line. 

If the community in general can't handle a mature conversation, I can understand. If it's the same two or three people saying "your religion is crap," then I see no reason why not to delete their posts and ban them. Same with unban requests.

Agreed with the other points made.

Yeah, exactly. That's what I meant.

It being empty is a good thing in a way because that kind of suggests people are thinking before they post a topic 'Is this topic really needed here?' 'Is there already a similar topic?' That or people have become more focused playing in one of the servers than posting topics unless absolutely necessary for them to.

[Que]

The forum has always been the stronghold for most of the members, where you actually found unique and interesting material, discussions or ideas. Every topic is necessary if you yourself find it necessary. I have simply no idea if someone ever posted a similar topic like this one, yet I find this one important, therefore I made it.

I am not saying it's good to make moaning/complaining/repeated topics, but I respect people who share their thoughts, who's constantly trying to do something, speak about something and share something with others.

We should write an unban request in Politics and religion's behalf.

[[SE]Dr_Pepper27]

I agree with everything said. Que says this on behalf of the community, not just his own words.(or so it seems that way).

Personally, I'd love to see politics and religion back. It made my day, and I'm sure others' too, just scrolling around. It was a fun and easy method to learn about the world. If it goes to far, you can always warn or mute someone.

That's all I'm going to say. For now.

I think maybe the forum should get new forum moderators, and the old forum moderators should be cleaned out who are inactive.

I would want to see more activity of them atleast.

[Que]

I'm happy to see that a lot of people agrees to what I've written on this topic.
Feel free to contribute even more, regardless whatever it is, it is always important that you speak about what's bothering you.

If you want me to be really honest, fine. I am literally FED UP of the respect shown by various members within this community. I mean, its not just me but anyone that has a bad past, why do people seem to be 'one-opinioned' if you know what I'm saying. Its such a devastating fact that most of the community judge a player and stick to that judgement, without any possibility of giving another player a chance. Don't you think its unfair? Judging a person from their past? People change. This is not just about me because I've actually got alot of sympathy for other players who've got bad past. This needs to change. You can either respect everyone or get the f**k out. So what if I've got a bad past? Move on. Just like a really close friend told me yesterday via MSN chat. My dad died 5 years ago, I'm over it. You cant keep living for the past. Well, same as this.

Want to really know why I made 121344 accoutns in the past? Because of YOUR respect towards ME. No one deserves that.

You have been crying about this for far too long. That's maybe why people continue on doing it.

[Antonio.]

Elaborate on that..

As in, you brought up you not being treated fairly and with less respect because you used to be a well known ban evader.

It's a shame that always a 'member' of the community must speak about this, but the 'leaders' or may I say the people in charge, never take any action to do something.
It's always the same thing, somebody will ask something like this, then most will agree, but as always, action is never taken. If that could be changed by the leaders them self, than a change would be able to happen to the current 'inactivity' or situation with the constant in our days, 'trolls'.

[Sisko]

I agree, the community need stronger leadership. Where would we be without Kojak at the moment?

Kojak's great in my opinion. When was he appointed as leader?

Well said.

Kojak's been here from the very first moments of Argonath.. he was playing together with RON and Ronnel on a previous community they used to play at. Mostly known today as a rival of Argonath.

Let me tell you a little story about myself.

Hello, my name is David but people on Argonath call me Que. I've been here for a couple of years, done a lot of rulebreaking and other horrible things during the time here. It has been good and bad times, funny and horrifying. I've created a community in hatred against Argonath nearly three years ago, I've been weapon hacking, doing it for the fun role-play while I was extremely poor in-game. I've been one of those extreme RLRPers who didn't accept any other role-play method, and also through that, faced a lot of enemies. After all, I would say that most of the individuals around respects me a lot. Do you know why? Because even though I've been a pain in the ass sometimes, I always maintained the respect for people. I have always respected my friends, whether you're new or old. Some people goes after the book with rules, I go after the people with heart and loyalty. Even though you say you have been "clean" for some time now, Box3r, you still got banned only matter of weeks ago when you were "trolling" SeanC.

Respect and trust is everything. Keep that in mind, bro.
Even if it's hard, try harder. If you keep getting beaten, keep fighting, because someday, the bad will turn into something good.

It's a shame that always a 'member' of the community must speak about this, but the 'leaders' or may I say the people in charge, never take any action to do something.

I have to agree.

As said to you on MSN, I see Kojak as one perfect example of a great leader.
