RIP General

[Faith.]

Mhm, I agree with you Party except for one point.
In my opinion, I do believe it concerns people because it's the game they play.

I do think this will ruin advertisments but there will be no more drama around the map. At least there wont be people spamming the general with rude or inappropriate messages. It is a big move but i gess we can all get used to it. Everything changes.

R.I.P General you will be missed ;(

I said what I said because it's been 42 pages of anger or sadness or "I'm leaving" Or arguing. 42. pages. That's 611 post, arguing or being mad or sad or quitting.

I have been reading exactly those 42 pages, and you were one of those who were arguing and saying the game is going to die because of this decision. So I am guessing your going to continue bickering with the mods until one of you break? I have agreed with some of your posts and their some of your posts that I do not agree with. You kept saying the same thing that your role play is dying because of this. The only one who can keep it from dying is you. If you are not the leader of your rp and whatever reason that she or he refuses to recruit more members. Then you should really convince your leader to recruit or just leave the group and find another.

I will surely miss general.
Some people are shy to go up to people and say hi.
And as many people stated, the movie advertising is tough. Much less players will be bothered to click on every movie clip.
Trolls and spamming in general?
Hahaha, that happens in every chat, local, movie etc.
General was the main target of trolling, which was good.
Why?
If people do it in local, mods can't be everywhere to check out users.
On the other hand, in general mods could be there to warn users that spam.
Not everyone has the guts(or maybe the person is just lazy? xD) or knows how to report someone.
As for movies, I honestly don't think anyone cared when general was up about the movie spamming, but just simply turned them off. After all, from what I have noticed, the movies used to be mostly about people derping and dancing in them. Now, trolls can troll people much easier with the movies, as they only have to click a button multiple times to spam.
So, all in all i have to say that trolls and spammers are everywhere, not just general.

I didn't mean to be rude or anything.

I do agree with your post but there is a little parts I do not agree with. I am one of those players who do not go up to others and say hi. I am also one of those players who do not care about reporting unless it is my business. However if you wish to make friends on here you have to break out of that silence unless you invite your real friends. Those who did not know how to report, how hard is it to ask someone how to report or get on the actual website for once?

People need to tell their opinions.
It's not anger or sadness, well maybe some. But not all, some are just plainly telling their opinions xD(Most I believe)

I am not saying keep your opinions to yourself. If you have your opinion then let it out so everyone can see how you feel about this.

Mhm, I agree with you Party except for one point.
In my opinion, I do believe it concerns people because it's the game they play.

I am glad some of you are actually taking my advise, that makes me a bit happy... I do not get what you are trying to say here though...

This sucks :/ I was gonna start a Clan on there but now that general is gone, I can't really advertise it :/ I guess there's a good side to this somewhere, I just don't see it. My FH isn't working right now anyways though, so...

To be honest, I'm trying hard to get used to this change. I've even thought about it, and it actually clears up things when you think about.
General had the advantage to hurt others, and sometimes I've seen horrible things in General and offensive conversations. "Why can't the mods just ban them?" usually it's not that simple as I see it.
Why? Well, the moderators maybe just aren't on perhaps, afk or on brb. They can't really be on all day every day, I see.
I do see they could still ban them if they spot the offensive person though, but taking General away I believe was open-minded into solving certain things in this case, those who try to be offensive and offend others horribly. General actually had the advantage to offend more than any chat sometimes since it had the ability to show all members what's going on in General.
"They can just turn off General." Not really. The offense could come in quicker than that and there's no warning when someone decides to troll in General.
What do I mean, exactly? Well, when I was only 10, even if that wasn't so long ago, I was offended myself. How? Let's just say someone was screaming a cuss word in General, a new cuss word I learned, eh?
There also have been issues with the chat spamming itself due to General, especially to moderators who have to look at General rather than turn it off.
Maybe there has been more/too much conversation and offensive conversations in General that you may not recognize to be too offensive in this situation.
I'm actually a bit happy that General was removed. But the complaints.. ugh. Did you actually try to get used to this small little change?
It's not like the game is completely over, right? How would you feel if the server was just shut down like that? General chat's removal isn't the end of the world.
Let's just think for a sec how to start a small conversation with a few people.
How about invite them through a few movie clips into a party chat? Mhmm. Party chat is a wise choice really, so you have no trolls most of the time.
Sure, there is drama, but we can just stop it if we try to get used to it, eh? Try our best, and even think for a second... Perhaps General chat's removal was a wise decision.
There is also the movie clips saying "Whisper [USERNAME] for more info!" so you can have some information about the advertising roleplay just by whispering the leader's username!
You can even advertise in Local as much as possible, don't be lazy! ^_^ People are everywhere.
To those who left because of this, does this mean you just played just for the sake of General chat? Come on! Think bigger! There's still rping and hanging out with friends!
That's what I think of the issue personally. I don't see why this drama even had to be caused.

Im finding it so much harder to promote my rps now. Especially my unusual ones, because I cant put in enough information to explain them. Its so frustrating. But to handle this I have been putting the website into the video clips so people can get the full view of what  the rp is. But its still hard to get used to, and personally, I would like it back. BUT, I am not reprimanding the mods. Its their choice what happens, and most of us dont even know the full picture of whats going on.

I understand why general has been removed which is understandable, but what about the players that spend most of there time role-playing and have slower computers or laptops and the movies can't work properly because of the lag. I would know this from experience because I can't play movies properly. I think that with general removed, a new chat should be added, a chat just for advertisements.  Well that is all I have to say.

You can fix your rendering system, check/update your graphics card, purchase a higher RAM card (overclock) or just shrink your Window size for FeralHeart. A new chat? I believe we would have to have Kovu here to add it and sync it to the server. But things will come & go. Look at life, something on news becomes popular and isn't talked about AS MUCH on a later date.

I don't think everyone with computer problems would be able to afford to 'upgrade' their computer. I actually find it a bit...rude to suggest it if they can't.

When it comes to updating a computer's graphic card, you also have to find the right one. Some of them don't fit the PC, and too much can be overkill, which could lead to a waste of money that some people simply can't afford to do.

I now adore this update! No more cursing, spamming, trolling, etc. I'm doing well with movie clips, and I already have 6 members in my pack! Six! Everyone needs to cool down, it's going to be okay. We need to get used to it, and I already have.
