The Member Dens

[Arani]

"Lifes not fair" Applies to every single aspect of life. I think this forum is extremely fair to it's members. But if you guys think that this could make things more fair, then by all means, do it. But I personally don't like the idea. But I'm cool with what ever decision is made.

It defintely applies to a lot of things, but I don't think it needs to work out that way on a small TLK community on the internet. People go on here to get away from their troubles of life, so making it more fair would be a step in the right direction.

^And taking away a member den that I earned is classed as fair?

[Arani]

^ That's what I mean. It's fair to some members, but it isn't to others. That's why I don't like the idea. They earned it, they should keep it. If they lose it at some point that's their problem, that's fair, since it was their fault. But actually taking it away like this is just not fair.

Sounds like a wise choice, Moka.

Aww, I see what you're saying Moka. It can be thought of to members as unfair that some get dens and others don't. But I hoped to one day earn one. It doesn't matter though. ^_^

EDIT: Going back a reading the first page, I got to side with KM. I really was hoping to earn a den one day. With the ranks removed and now the dens, what is there left to stride for? Where are the goals? I mean, sure, this is a community and of course the real purpose it to have a good time and make friends, but there are some (like me) who are ambitious aswell. So, all the great members who earned the dens (and those who wanted to earn them) now have to have this goal crushed because a few members whined because they didn't get one? I see this problem alot in real life...trust me. I hope I don't sound like I'm ranting D: I'm just really upset about this. I know that member dens would be cooler if there was a community of a few hundred members. And I know that there are about 2,000 +. But exactly how many of the over 2,000 members are actually active? Most (to my knowledge) just join and make less then 100 posts, then it seems they leave and never return. Removing the dens isn't going to take any pressure of the Mods either. All that's being done is taking to topics and pushing them to the already filled "The Den". Personally, I think that moving all those topics to "The Den" would actually make it more difficult to moniture them. When I first joined this forum, I spammed everywhere (especially the topics started by me) to increase my post count. But then custom titles came and I stopped. Now I look back at those old post and think to myself: I was such an idiot. XD I don't see how the Member Dens would cause an increase in spam. And what's removing them going to do? The topics still exist anyway.

Again, I hope I don't sound rude. I hope I don't sound like I'm ranting either. I'm just expressing my opinion/veiw on this subject. (lol, I guess I had more to say than I first thought XD)

Personally, I have no opinion on this. I'll just go with the flow.

Yes.

Naw I'm JK. Of course not.

I'm still kinda confused as to what the heck is even going on.

[PrincessKiara]

I will miss my den. I was so happy when I got the PM from Moka offering me one.
Well, the descision has been made, nothing to be done.

Okay, I'll explain it as best as I can:

Members who are polite, contributing, and fair earned their own little part of the forum where they could post topics like "Ask Me" and stuff. Now, those dens are being removed and the owners and the members who hoped to one day earn one are upset. Does that help you?
