a) & b) Great, so where have you been lately? Where are all your fun and exciting threads that make the forum worthwhile? I have not been in Beta since the start, i joined almost a full month after it opened. I do post replies in threads (doing nothing huh?) but I don't start major threads because i get Phalanx flamed, nobody from your 'active people' wants to hear about us. Trolls like yourself stop others from posting because you create a hostile and uninviting atmosphere. People don't want to post because they don't want to argue.
c) Mods are the lifeguards of the forum, here to make sure everyone plays nice. Does that mean we are the poster people for the forum?
You are not asking for a new forum. You are asking for a duplicate that is not necessary.
Chocolate is not necessary, but I friggin' love eating chocolate and if there were duplicates, all the better! And lately? I'm no longer really involved in Beta at a level where I feel I can bring an interesting thread to Beta myself. Though when I see Beta's current most actives asking for something and the mods giving every argument in the book against it, I will add my two cents. Sure I troll sometimes, but never when something is well thought out or where it is an issue of actual merit. I don't know if you can see my posts in this thread without your bias cap on but I think I have posted well articulated and thought out posts which do bring up valuable points. I do not think you have given any of them a slight bit of chance and decided to attack me personally as a player instead of respond to my points like Tyrion and Devils did. I do have a problem with how you have gone about this, the others have taken it well and have actually brought some more sound reasoning to the table. You go on about your lifeguards and how I don't post threads in Beta. Most of what you have done is attack me about my "hypocrisy" so I, as always, will respond in kind. If you do not like me personally, fine, join the club, but do not take it out on Beta.
@phoenixavier: I was not being technical. I was being general using a real world example. As Sapphire pointed out earlier using her amazing deduction skills (like, I do not think I can get anything past her), the Beta forums is not a shop. I was just using it as an example to point out the fact that though we don't pay for it directly, the people posting on the Beta forums are your "customers".
@Devils: You know how Facebook became big and beat all competition? It did so by giving the customers what they wanted hence bringing a critical mass which meant people posted on it. Though I do see where you are coming from. I think if Tyrion's suggestion was brought to life it could pump some new air into the Beta forums.
