So quick to dismiss....Why even bother?
I believe i do not need to say anything more past this post herein and after having played on Moons BF1942 server for over 8-9 years now i think i am able to lend some credit to what i am about to say.
If you all cant get your act together and make changes, and see that the picture that i took in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday shows signs of weakness and dig deep into those numbers you see, it will inevitably tell you the tale of your fate in the time to come. Try doing a search on that.
Lin..Please do not lecture me about reading vague dialogue from others who post and do not make statements about of why something cannot be done unless you can layout statements with elaborate detail of why YOU CANT so everyone here can see both sides of the issue(s) at hand without having to go on one selfs time and do a "search". We are all sitting at a table right now. Speaking their minds. No? I created a forum table here to simply voice out a serious concern and issues i see that may be detrimental to your servers longevity. I didnt ask you to come sit at this table and speak, did i? No....You helped yourself and i am fine with that. However, I didn't ask you to write here did i? No, you walked in and spent your precious time to lend words into this conversation. Now please have a seat.
Clearly Lin we are right back to Grassy's statement. Grassy...well said and well done sir, no need to apologize for speaking your mind; at least someone has the gull to speak up and speak his own mind instead of side stepping around to make light of the real issues.
Most of the time..."you all - top brass of Moon" Its like Grassy said....All you guys do is look for ways to pick someones issues apart, talk, complain, talk some more and in the end....the same o some o and you all are out to make someone look and sound stupid and pathetic - i.e. (Camping? really? - Oh wait...) You Lin have the rule in place and belch out that its allowed yet all of you moonie brass continue the rule and bitch and complain about the players who do it - In addition to the aforementioned, what are you holding onto? More continued grief with letting camping go on? - I am all for eliminating it, get rid of it - i play on Simples server, top player on the roster and yet play with a no camping rule and i have complete fun playing with a no camping rule. Camping on Moons server is eroding the fun factor. Sure i camped. So what. Its a rule that said i could. Get rid of camping and get rid of the complaining. Thats a start.
To continue...Words are one thing and action is another. Lin in your words above, i do not see a single thread that reads of an offer of a positive solution or change to the issue herein. Where is the positive words in any of your diatribe? The worst thing a person at the top can be is a person who is in denial. In reading above, i also read threads that you have mismanagement within your ranks and it reeks. Where is corrective measures there? Hidden....with no action?
Look....The words im offering is to try something new for the benefits of everyone here..To add the voice, to read, and comment on, to push thru the barriers of constructive dialogue and get some serious change implemented. Think about it....Why would i or do i spend my precious time here to write and make for commenting about a site that i rarely ever post on? Because i do care, i did have fun, yet i see the impending problems on the horizon, and wanted to voice my concerns that a change the way things have been going needs to be implemented. Do nothing, and see what happens and in an instant....death may be imminent of once was a great place to play...as it will be written in the history books.
I am not here to cause an uproar - only asking to to sit at the table here and speak up that something needs to be done and that the picture i took (at a moment i see as a problem) does tell of some serious and eroding issues at the doorstep of Moongamers BF1942 server and it isn't going to get better unless your denial is laid to rest and that you change it up.
You (Lin) said.....We feel this would be detrimental to the server, and not particularly helpful. We tried it years ago with bad results.
Now I have a question.
Why do we have to keep answering the same questions? The history of our responses and reasons are in the forum. There is a search feature. Please try using it, and you will certainly find answers
Who is "we"? Why do you feel it would be detrimental to the server and not helpful? Everyone speak up here! What happened years ago that made map voting turn into bad results? Ive played here for 8-9 years now and have never seen map voting. How long and far back do we have to go? No reason was ever written. Simply put...Map voting works fine on Simple's servers. I play the USA and France servers and it works just fine. You know why it works? Because its democratic. Not a communist regime where only a few of the top elite can make decisions for the many at the bottom. Perhaps things would be different if you tried map voting again.
Now why would i do a search and read-on day ol'bread of threads that would make no difference in the problems that lay before us today? Did those words 5 years ago create cause and affect for the impending problems that lay before you today? If i read a thread from 5 years ago, what is that going to do with this conversation here today? THINGS HAVE CHANGED AS TIME HAS GONE ON! How is anyone going to channel effort to fix a problem unless it is written here in this post now? I cant copy and paste our way out of a problem can i from 5 years ago?
What i sense is complacency of having to address real issues today Lin. For someone to dismiss someones issues and to tell someone to leave it to a search - shows why where are here talking about this in the first place. We or myself wouldn't have had questions in the first place if changes and corrections were made. And granted, you may not make everyone happy, but clearly there are more unhappy than happy within the gaming of BF1942 on Moon and Moongamers in general thus the need for donations...thus the need to seek out new members...thus the need for more players.
Leave things status quo....And let the chips fall where they may.
Enough said.
