Change to Downloads Section

flickerpunch · 02-05-2010, 09:02 AM

Hello, this is one of your resident lurker Administrators here.

On February 6, 2010 at 12:00PM GMT, code will go live which requires a minimum of 15 posts in order to view the OST downloads section.

Activity is dwindling as you may have noticed. In light of this as well as everyone saying they want something to be done, we will again institute a required post count in order to access the OSTs. Feel free to discuss this change below.

edit: CODE is live.

I overslept

Registered Users cannot download from the OSTs section, but Active Users can. Those who have over 15 posts have already been added to the Active Users usergroup. Only 909 people fit into that group, so get to posting the rest of you! If you get to 15 posts, the system will take one hour to move you into the Active Users usergroup.

NOTE: If you break any of the forum rules to achieve your 15 posts (which includes SPAMMING) expect an instant ban. You've been warned. - Kotsu

Every time I've checked someone's account that complained about not being able to download after 15+ posts, they've already been granted download permissions - hence, be patient.

DO NOT MAKE POSTS ABOUT HOW YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD. AFTER 24 HOURS, IF YOU CAN'T DOWNLOAD AND YOU HAVE 15+ POSTS, PM ME OR FLICKERPUNCH.

Also note, this change will affect everyone in the Registered Users usergroup.

I don't mind the change, in fact, I think it's for the better.

Some people just sign-up to dl the songs and do not stay active in the community.

Although this still doesn't explain why the fourm has been so inactive lately.

I think we should go back to the point system IMO.

edit: also.. flicker.. did you just post a topic as X?

flickerpunch · 02-05-2010, 12:23 PM

I'd like to bring back points too, but none of us are able to install forum plugins, so this is the next best thing until X comes back.

That other topic was automatically generated from the Front Page posting I did.

where is X? some remote island where there is no electricity?
tho i'm sure that's the question everyone is asking.

CrZaEs · 02-06-2010, 01:50 AM

Yea.. Where is X.. I do prefer the point system, and the 15 min posting before download.. although i the few who wasnt active since the downtime period.

How do you post?

Wait a second lol. I just did post, didn't i?

flickerpunch: Yup you did. If you want some info on how the forum works check the FAQ.

I didn't like the point system. And yes, I was active with my posts. In my previous account, which I dropped because I wanted a better username.

Well I got 16 posts count right now. How do I get into the active users group?

flickerpunch: Avoid double posting like this.
