Yeah, but given the people who downvote everything, that can make for kind of a crap shoot. I submitted a forum idea last Thursday and it stuck around, getting +30 votes or so; I resubmitted it on Sunday after the refresh and it died in ten minutes.

For unlimited items, that’s not a big deal; but when you can only offer three forum ideas a week, getting shot down by gamist bumholes is discouraging.

Or my ideas could just suck. I’m well aware of that. Log in to see images!

Hey man, I feel your pain. I’m supposed to be the creative director of Forumwarz and ****s vote my **** down too, often with no apparent rhyme or reason.

Let’s see how this pans out. We’ll also try to keep track of the “Negative Nellies” better, and discount their votes.

As an admin, I’m tempted to revive some of the obviously good user subs from the dead, but that’s a lot of work. I guess the competitive aspect of this makes people act like jerk-offs.

In the future we plan to have more truly collaborative and not so competitive forums (Klan-based, pool-based, etc), but for now we’re relying on the herd mentality. The forums that emerge are still pretty gold, you gotta admit!
