Okay folks, it has been proposed we get rid of this forum.

If you want to keep it, post your reasons here.

Honestly, I see no reason. I would love to contribute something to it and see it come to fruition, but I just have no time. i imagine that most of the other site members are in a similar boat.

Yes, it was a good idea when it was first started. A new world created by members of Maxminis. But, now that contributions have all but ended, and the fact that the resources are probably no longer used by people, it's probably no good to us anymore.

There is a LOT of interesting info in here. Maybe we don't need to forum anymore, but we do need to keep the information, imo.

Is there a way to close the forum so that no new posting can be done, but so that it can be accessed?

This section could be made read-only, but my personal opinion is that I'd rather just leave it as it is so that anyone who is interested can post updated or new ideas here.

I set up this section after the "New World" project was already mostly dead, and while the driving reason was to give the resuscitation efforts the best possible chance of success, it wasn't intended to only be used for "New World" content.


Do you think a name and byline change would help to improve posting here? Maybe "New Worlds: Ideas and resources for custom created campaign worlds." would be better?

If people feel that the forum isn't worth keeping, we would gradually move all of the threads back into the RPG section (the only way to mods and I can do it is manually) before deleting the forum section.

Yes, it definitely needs some sort of a change if it is to be kept around. I might be being a little too pragmatic here, but what good are good ideas if no one is using them?

The main creators have talked with me a few times and were interested if we could get it off the ground again... but they said I could use the map as I wish. I'm using it for another game as well as my own creation using this map... I'm almost done with a complete world but alas... I'm definately too lazy to post anything as of yet.

Well, if even one person is using the resources for their campaign, then it should be kept around. I thought it was just gathering dust in the attic of an abandoned house in a ghost town.

I also think this is a good idea.  It would broaden the scope of the forum so that posts could be made tied to the New World Project, as well as creative concepts outside of it.

Perhaps, but people could be using it without giving any outward sign of doing so. If I pull an idea from the stuff here for my own campaign and don't tell anyone, who would know one way or the other. I guess my point is that folks might not be actively posting but those same folks could still be using this information as inspiration. I look for campaign inspiration anywhere I can.

Tell the truth since the effort all but died ages ago I would actually perfer to see my stuff deleted.

I certainly can't demand that as it was posted to a public forum for general use, but since the world will never be finished I would perfer to see Zohran gone.

cheers all

I don't believe I was around for the beginning of step one. I will look it over. I have everything saved on my computer... all the maps. Also if you want something deleted. Please start making posts or message me asking to delete the thread. Its been awhile but since I received my new uber computer.... things will be more active for me.

Also. I'm currently using this project/map for Warhammer 40k RPG - Dark Heresy. This is a world I'm currently working on.
