Who is this krakua guy?

(Spoiler's to avoid cheating)

I saw the two glowing emerald eyes, so I could find the monster easily. Try making it less conspicuous, bones.

Just tie the dog to a tree, give im an endless supply of buscuits and squeaky toys and spend the day spamming up the forums.

I have an idea for your Greg problem:

Okay: We create an official topic for people to ask questions that members might just know the answer to. This would reduce silly questions "What do the Bohrok have to do?", "Is Mata Nui the Matoran Universe?" "Why did the Toa Nuva change in 2008?" etc. That sort of thing you know. They are to be quite honest, incredibly simple questions.

We pin that, and it reduces Greg's workload because he doesn't have to answer unnecessary questions. I'm not saying it's elegant, I'm saying it's practical.

Don't need to be pinned. S&Ts had problems with too many pinned topics before, and we dun' need that again.

It just looks cluttered. *shrug*

~EW~

Cluttered? Cluttered!?!

Meh s'pose, but I think it this comes under the category of "crying over spilt milk"? I'm sure there can be a compromise where the board remains aesthetically pleasing.

We had a topic like that before, but it died (or at least is in suspended animation). I think pinning it wouldn't be a bad idea.

But isn't the S&T forum itself for asking questions? I don't know if we need a topic for it...

Replying to your mystery monster Fikou thing, my entry was going to be an intelligent being with a strong hatred for Matoran (with a good reason, of course), instead of the classic RAWR I'm a monster type of thing.

For the OGD, remove any posts that does not contain original questions that Greg has answered. That would make it much easier to read and find out what has already been asked.

That's fine -- that's only a random example.

Also, people are starting to post questions that they've asked Bink in there, and since that is off topic, it's technically spam.

It's really irritating me for some reason...

Oh and

Well, where else would they post them?

What do you guys mean had a pinned topic problem? With the 5 we have currently it still looks cluttered. I dont think we cna really do anything more for Greg. BS01 has all info up within 24 hours (usually less lol), unless something to do with spoiler stuff that BS01 hasn't allowed, so people should always go there first for details and if they dont find them there check again the next day and then PM Greg about it.

Oh and bones we miss you

Well, I do an Official Greg Discussion Weekly Digest in my blog. I call it the Farshtey Feed.

Who is this krakua guy?

~EW~

that would be me, Krakuaofsonics.....the Bionicle fan that joined BZP back in April. You might remember me if you look in OGD a lot, I commonly hang around.....keeps my IQ up

that could work, but we talked about the problem that people would already know the existence of OGD, and they wouldn't know of this other topic, thus they would still ask Greg questions that are easily answered by other people........as the Mighty Master of The Bones Blog said to me in pm, all the newbies need to hear is that GregF answers fan's Questions and they are off. off and gone, and he gets random questions.

as an example, look at all the people who post their questions in OGD, if you look at their questions, most of the time, they are easily answered by fans. But do they even think to ask them? no. sorry.

Not saying your idea is bad here, just saying that it needs some work before we can really settle down as far as this is what we need to do. Hey, believe me, this is not an easy thing to fix, but it was a good idea, now it just needs some work.

Close the OGD?

I sure hope I didn't say that and I didn't even think of doing that. But if I did, sorry.

If that was an Idea you just came up with, I would have to ask the following:

"what would be the good?"

people would just create their own topics to post their questions, and then you would have 100 topics in BZP a day saying "I got a PM from GregF, check it out."

I don't think that would work.

But hey, I am just one guy out there, somebody else might see to good in it.

I see your point...

But if it were closed...

1. You would have less pinned topics, which apparently is a good thing
2. Less people would PM Greg. Think about it. If there's no place to plonk your replies, what good is it going to be if you ask him questions?
3. There would be less off topic spam. 'Cuz there would be no where to post it. Sometimes in the OGD you see stuff like "Destiny War is up", which is completely spam in every dimension.
