NfS game forum

[<-BS->]

We noticed a lot of threads are about the game itself and therefore we added a NfS forum in the Game categorie. In addition we added some prefixes to seperate the different games. Hope you'll enjoy the new part

Get to NfS series

P.S. Within the next days the threads which are about the game will be moved.

[HigH_HawK]

We will not move it back to the other forum, as it has nothing to do with the stats website!

There is a search function on the forums, everybody can use

I agree with DJ.

The first time i really did look for 40 min to find the topic here in the forum.

Maybe 1April could add a link to nfs series forum on the leaderboard page it self.
Because wen you go from the nfs leaderboard page to the forum.
you automatically think you on the right place, but in fact you need to go to nfs series.
There is no link to that page on the forum.. only here in a topic.
You really need much luck to see this threat so you know you need to go there.

That is way so many people still make topics about nfs wold on the normal forum page.

[HigH_HawK]

The reason why we move everything game related is, that the "NFS-S.com - NFS Stats" forums are mainly only for the stats page!

Meaning, if somebody is having a problem with their stats or problems with the stats page, they click on the link on the stats page and get to the right forum straight away!

The "Need for Speed series" forums are mainly only for inGame related stuff!

Meaning, when somebody has driven a new best time or is having a question about the game itself, they can use these forums.

There is no need for a seperate link on the stats page! If you are on one of the stats pages, you always have a bar at the top left hand corner where it says "Forum", just click on it and brings you to the forums!

//EDIT: Before people are saying that I am hiding stuff. Here is my previous message which I edited to the above.

No, we won't do that!

The need for speed series are for all game related questions,
which have nothing to do with the stats site (nfs-s.com).
It is not that hard to click on Forum -
and scroll down a little to get to the forums (Need for speed series).

We don't want to have a mess where everybody is posting all over,
making it impossible to find stuff again.

Tbh i dont see the point in doing that, you're just creating more work for yourselves. things are harder to find.

[HigH_HawK]

The main reason behind all of this, was to get a more structured overview. If we mix website problems with problems ingame, cheater reporting, etc. we might eventualy loose track of everything and it will al become a mess.

We used to have this type of structure on the old forums, which worked very well and therefor we implemented it on these forums aswell.

[Danwise]

if there were less sticky topics in the nfs-s forum it would be fine, the old forum though... i dont remember that having subforums.
All i can recall were the stats.. we always reported people in the nfs-s thingy so i dont know why you want to change it and make people feel alienated.

[Honke]

Totally agree with you Danwise.

[HigH_HawK]

We do not only have the NFS-S people on here! We also have BF(2-2142-BC2-3) and our Crysis people.

Every game will get it's own forum (apart from the one for the stats website) as soon as they get busy writing their stuff about the game.

I don't see where we are making people feel "alienated", could you please point out what you exactly mean, Danwise?

What I agree on are the sticky threads, we have to find a solution for that as we cannot stick everything up there. I have already seen some sticky threads which might get combined into one sticky only.

Thanks for pointing that out!

What i mean by "Alienated" is that when new people join the forums theyre not going to know where to go ie nfs-s or the new subforum, Instead of creating a new forum for nfs general discussions etc.. cant you just make a nfs category in the nfs-s page?
(I hope you understand what im trying to say).

As for having other games here.. what did you guys do before you updated the forum?.. just seems like too much messing around.

Also a suggestion.. what if you create a poll asking what the forum users want? for a start id change the forums back to the old layout..

If its not broke dont fix it.

[Honke]

My post was mend to be, to make the life for new users easier.
Because its to difficult to find this topic
and to find the sub thread for nfs-series directly from the nfs-s.com page

I think 1April should consider my opinion.
Because aim sure that aim not the only one that thinks this way.
I already see 2 more thinking the same.

[HigH_HawK]

So you want everything squashed into one forum (topic), going through hundreds of sites searching for a thread which takes more than 40 mins by the way

[<-BS->]

Thanks for your feedback HigH_HawK just did his job.

We decided to separate the NfS-S.com topics from the topics which are about the game. Because this forum is over stats and the site itself. Otherwise it would be a mess and noone gets the information he is looking for.

As I see most of you get to the forum with the directlink from the NFS-S.com navigation. Therefore all of you didn't see the whole overview of all subforums and categories. As consequence nearly nobody noticed the new Need for Speed series subforum which contain all your topics and posts over the game.

We won't do the step backwards, but we have to edit those two links. Furthermore we'll have a little chat about the cheater reports
I think they fit more into nfs-s.com than to NfS series, because its important for the leaderboard.

Stay tuned!

Thank's for your post! Now that you came to mention the navigation (which I officialy forgot about) I realise that people probably meant this link.

I thought they were going on about the P-Stats Network bar at the top right hand corner.

So, I have to apologize for the confusion and for some posts which might have been a bit abusiv (looking to Honke )

Finally somebody gets it the get it!!

So you guys do considers my opinion after all.
Because this question i posted in the first place..

But got removed and got the reaction that is posted above from HigH_HawK

Also i did write same the posts in several threads about the video.
Because the fitted in 2 from the threats i posted the video in as comment..
But it seems this is not allowed.. So i will not post a comment again 2 times.

So technically speaking i just made 1 threat but if i would have gave it the name.
Nfs World Hot-Lap the threat would not have been locked and removed..

Anway Discussion closed. I think everybody gets the point now.

[HigH_HawK]

...But got removed and got the reaction that is posted above from HigH_HawK...

Your first post (question) is still there! I also edited my first reply in my current one at 1pm.

I did not delete your post where you published my PN, I just put it in an internal archive.

And now we go back racing (getting some best times) to post them on here!

[ClanM0]

Is it me or the NFS part is still going a bit nuts...? I never had this much work in old 2142...

Maybe its because you left us.

[ClanM0]

AHAHAH!!! No worrys there, Hawk is back....

[HigH_HawK]

I merged some sticky threads into one to have all the relevant information in one thread. This reduced the sticky threads little!

The news thread were merged into "News and Leaderboard revision". TW[MTO-PT] will keep you up to date about leaderboard stuff in that thread.

If there should be any problems with the stats page, people are still able to open threads about it, we will than try to find a solution for that problem and close the thread! This prevents spammer and thread hijacker to bring it off topic and to make it harder for new people using the search function.

I also moved the Cheater Report Thread back to NFS-S.com as it belongs to the leaderboard. (many of you requested this!)

I will contact ApRiL later the day and request a change of link on each stats page, so that the forum link (in the navigation) does not refer to the specific topic anymore but brings the user to the main forums instead.

If there is anything else I might have forgotten, please write it on here and I will what I can do!
