Personally I think that so far this forum has done very well.  One thing we are not trying to be is like any other forum.  Gameboomers, et al all do what they do very well, but we are honestly not trying to emulate anyone or anything.

If the members of JA Forum feel that there are some things at JA need to do to make the forum better, then please let us know now.  

If the day comes that we have 2 or 3,000 registered members then at that point we would be more heavily moderated, but for the size we are at now and considering the many heartfelt and intelligent discusssions that have occurred, I feel that the forum has been been splendid.  We have done our best to not have a forum that has more posts by moderators than by members and in that matter we have succeeded, but I am sure that there are things we can do better.

The only thing that "bugs" me, is the fact that when I've read a topic, I have to scroll aaaall the way back up to get back out to the forum again. Now, this might (probably) be me being incredibly stupid not having found the excellent link out to the forum from the bottom of the thread  
but I figured I'd tell you anyways! LOL! Not sure it was exactly the kind of feedback you where looking for...

you have done a great job so far... this forum is several levels above every other forum i've seen (and i've seen/am a member of quite a few)... the level of the ppl and the discussions here made me become an active poster (to a couple of ppl's disappointment probably :
)while i'm a lurker or even a very scarce visitor everywhere else... moderation is fine the way it is now, and as said in an older thread, ppl here are far too civilized to need moderation (and i mean need MODERATION, not censorship that a few (only a few thank god) ask for)... it's only 2.5 months and i've met the greatest ppl (as well as finished 5th in Kick Off 2 world cup!!! long story but this forum has everything to do with it!!!) and learned a lot of things and i hope this will keep going (with MORE members that will actively offer smth instead of sitting back critisizing every little thing) for, well, the rest of my life probably!

[size=32][glb]WELL DONE![/glb]

You have gotten the attention of the mysterious lady. She turns to face you. Her face is devoid of any flesh. You are frozen with horror as she begins ripping your body into a bloody mess.

Randy,

The forum is really good as it is now.

I think one of the most important things is to feel comfortable reading and posting at a forum and both work for me whether I post a lot or hardly at all.

The other great thing, are the participants that are in place now and hopefully the new ones that will come to be added on every day.

So for me, who wandered in while messing around on the net, this is a great site.  I go to this one and maybe one or two others on a regular basis.

The forum format is laid out well and as I had mentioned besides the forums, the site itself with all the reviews, releases, etc. is very well done as far as I am concerned.

So thank you and everyone else involved for making me feel welcome.

For some people this forum has become like their internet "home" and with a good reason. The mood is excellent, the discussions are intelligent (maybe heated but that makes them so interesting), people are more than willing to share their knowledge, help others and learn. I've never seen an unanswered post here, something that happens very often in most forums.
What's more important is that most members show personality, something I think it's a direct consequence of the low moderation. Please, lets never ever allow this to change. I feel like I know some of the members here personally - it's really that strong the feeling.
There were complains that Adventure is not discussed here - at least one member became interested in Interactive Fiction and now is playing it. Isn't that powerful? The most neglected sub-genre and new people playing it because of this forum. I'm not making this up and I havn't seen IF discussed in other adventure forums.
This forum has done great so far and it's growing at an amazing rate. Things should remain the way they are. It's the best thing to do.

It's almost perfect.  It just needs the following fora added:

I don't actually have much experience with forums and the only other one I ever joined was Gabriel Knight - which incidentally was why I first looked at this one as it was recommended by one of the members there.

This really does seems a great forum (in my limited experience) and as Red remarked, not just because of the forum itself but also because of the way the whole site is laid out.

CONGRATUALTIONS!!

Just wanted to say that IMHO,  the JA forums are exactly what an adventure game discussion board should be.  I haven't seen a thing that I would like changed.

I have fun here - I have fun at Gameboomers as well. What I don't do is: Throw the differences in the face of the Gameboomer community.  

What?

Deleted UserI've had Just Adventure in my Favorites for a long time, way before there was this "Forum" so was pleased to see a Forum start up.  Lots of nice, "mature" , intelligent and helpful members.

I don't think, at this stage, it needs too much Moderation ...... the other members keep us all on the straight and narrow  


Well done JA

I vote for the status quo. Before the opening of this forum, I was a daily visitor (for two years) to another adventure forum. Now I'm a daily visitor here and a more infrequent visitor there. I haven't bothered to analyze why, but you must be doing something right.

Absolutely not -  


It was actually intended for (in our new and improved - be up front about your opinions, lay it on the line, don't be wishey washy mode of dealing with each others personal and most intimate feelings... whew - that was a bit of **** now wasn't it.) the Friendly Fish person (to whom I hold no personal hard feelings for at all).

I know - just kidding!  I forgot all about the fish person.  That might be because they have only made one stinkin' post!
