Second, people actually use the ignore feature? Dang, no wonder nobody ever responds to my posts half of the time.

All this time, I could have just automated it!

LOL well, for the benefit of Dice4Hire, I will point out that he was actually caught in the (new) trap of quoting the xp comment someone else left in his post.

Here's the link to the post he was quoting.

I agree, actually, thus far I have seen no rep posts from anyone on my ignore list, which either means it already works, or I just missed them giving rep. I'll keep an eye out and see if I notice one.

That's hilarious. Unintended, and now that I see it was a rep comment to your post you were responded to, but still pretty funny.

The forum didn't work because it was cumbersome to deal with. I found it wasn't good at narrowing down a region well enough, it was not kept current, and threads would drop off the first page if they were not regularly bumped. As a supporter, I don't mind resources being spent on developing a better way, as long as the core functionality of this site is maintained.

Arguably this is exactly how it should work. Someone shouts out "Starting a game on Saturdays...." people do or don't sign up. The game might happen. Over time no more recruitment is needed and the OP doesn't have to remember to set his "seeking" status afterward. I repeat: how often is any one person really looking for a game? It is a niche*** function. And I think the forum handles it well enough.

The old forum had useful categories for narrowing the region down. It was the update several years ago when the categories were lost and never brought back.

*** The number of responses in this thread seriously discussing it should be a testimony to the "niche" categorization.

Come to think of it, IIRC, I originally registered on ENWorld to advertise my internet campaign here.

So the old way wasn't all bad, it started me posting here!

3000 odd posts later... have you posted more here than in your campaign?

Cheers!

I like the inline posrep, but man, I didn't realise there was so much XP flying around this place!

I don't think there is; most people don't give it. I've a feeling it's become more common now you're reminded more about it by people being able to see that XP is being given!

Cheers!
