Replacement for EP?

Entropia Universe Discussion General Discussion
1

Is this forum a viable replacement for the popularity of EP? Thoughts?

2

Why not an alternative?

3

I thought EP wanted to make their forum less popular, less of an “official” forum. So an alternitive forum would be in favor of EP.. right?

4

well if we could get everyone to come over this way, then ya it could be :wink:

5

yea I would agree to that- makingthis site the official forum..
imho ep suxs anyway..

6

I see it as Leafren does… a viable alternative.
I should think it will be a good alternative because, while it shares many similiraries to EP as a forum, it has many differences…
and differences are good :girl:

I’ve known MindBuster for a… well… a hella long time. We have history.
And in all that history, I can only say one thing about him - he knows how to make a forum work.

Good admin, good man.

His (and Zorro’s) Hitman2.net forum, which was founded several years ago, still stands and is active. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
It was dedicated to a Hitman game, and lived on way past the game itself.

I like MindBuster’s idea of making a forum about Entropia. He surely is one hell of an expert in the field, and I wish this place good luck!

I see it as an alternative too.
I hope it’ll survive but to be able to survive as a forum you need new players to join, because most old, longtime players don’t have much to say :silly2:

Now it’s all new and everything is very active but if you can’t get new people to join and get an entropia-forum comunity feeling the forum will slowly die.
But let’s hope that won’t happen :smiley:

Qué? Only thing that’s been done is get rid of some of the ‘official’ feeling it had (the EP mods/admins didn’t want in the first place). EP always supported other forums and allowed advertising for them on their forums, of course alternatives are good for everyone so everyone can join the forum of their taste. I still don’t see what you mean with ‘replacement’ in your first post though.

I very much hope people will refrain from bashing EP here, not that I care (that would be kinda sad) but because I too want this forum to succeed. If new people and long time players start joining this forum with ‘EP sux anyways’ it just might attract only others that are not amused by EP (we’ve seen that happen before) and people who do think EP does a great job will stay away because they feel it’s not fair and ‘it’ll probably be another bashing/whine forum anyways’. They of course don’t know MB’s reputation but that’s besides the point.

Develop/start from your own strength, not from others weaknesses :wise:

Honestly, i would recommend this forum to people..

The feeling I get about this is more joyful than EP.

EF is my choice! :slight_smile:

Would be nice if it were kept a secret from some of the newer players. Hehe, that is just me being greedy tho… :cool:

12

Hehe. I want everyone to come here instead. More fun with more players. :slight_smile:

And yeah EP is large, but I don’t really like the search functions etc. Search on picture description? I never found the function…

I think “alternative” is much better word than “replacement”.

EP is big and there’s loads and loads of people who dont like it/accept rules/etc. It would benefit everyone if those people would go somewhere else where they feel more comfortable with the principles and rules instead of trying to fight against them at EP.

This thread is among first ones I read at this forum so I cant comment much about this one but I think many of new PE forums more or less die quickly after founding because they lack their identity - they are not made to be something on their own but more like built on dislike of EP.

I saw couple neat ideas in these forums… gotta follow more closely. :slight_smile:

This forum is much more appealing to me so far, I enjoy the looks it has, and the people it contains :wink:

I certainly will use this instead of EP, which is only a big mess.
It’s good only for posting something to sell, otherwise.. naaaah :slight_smile:

EF is slow because its relatively new, it will get better eventually!

Praise EF

16

We love you. :thumbup:

18

It’s turning out to be a replacement for me.

19

Well I like this forum alot so far. I still like EP too but because its less people here atm I just kinda like it better. Getting feedback on threads is easier because its not 200 new posts between every login… :silly2:
