As for Might and Magic, something needs to be changed there as well. The discussions are too slow-paced. Either the sections need to be restructured, or something interesting needs to be added.

First, we need to divide the forums. And I can moderate the Might & Magic forums. At least, the section about the universe.

Regarding the forum RPG. Saruman and Magnus are combining their RPGs (Saruman's RPG will be connected to Magnus's RPG in some aspects). I am the GM in this RPG (it will start tomorrow). I also plan to create an RPG directly related to the classic Might & Magic world (from NWC). The action will take place in the world of Enroth, where the Reckoning did not happen, after the events of Heroes 8 and Might & Magic 3.

I support the ideas of VDV and AlexeyPank regarding the new section system. I want to clarify about the "general hero" section. There should be a section similar to "Might and Magic Universe," where there will be the history of the Might & Magic universe (action, role-playing, strategy series, about the books), PhysMiG will include general reviews and descriptions of gameplay, tactics - comparisons of the balance, etc. of various parts and discussions - about all parts of all Might & Magic series. The Might and Magic, Arcomage, and Heroes of Might and Magic sections should be placed in the "Related Games" section. In these sections, leave everything as it is, but try to develop them.

I don't think the HOMM theme is dying out. For me, "flood" is something distant. I only visit that forum on holidays. On this forum, on the contrary, I found a fresh perspective on Heroes 3. I was even starting to try WOG, TE, and various mods. But now everything has returned to its rightful place. Heroes 3 FOREVER!!!
Some people have different opinions, some prefer Might & Magic. So the theme is still alive!
And "flood" can be separated, IMHO.

Maybe before starting to separate the off-topic posts and saving the forum's theme, someone will take care of increasing the size of the forum's private message inboxes – this topic has been raised more than once. There are no results or answers.

The most interesting thing is that, based on the survey results, we can conclude that most of the administration doesn't care about this issue. However, the majority of those who voted are in favor of taking some action, which is encouraging. Currently, there are several concepts for the further development of the forum that do not contradict each other but rather complement each other (these are the concepts of the Creator, VDV_forever, and mine). But I would like to hear specific suggestions from the other members of the forum.
P.S. I was very surprised that the creator published his views in a closed section instead of making them available for everyone to see.

But what exactly did he say? Does he agree to change something, unlike many others?

Indeed, it's surprising! What secrets are they hiding when we're all working on the same project.

It's truly amazing! What secrets are hidden when we're working together on a common goal.

Or maybe there was a list of who needed to be executed first :p

this is the fate of any forum – there are always "old-timers" who have already discussed everything and covered all the topics, but then newcomers arrive and start asking questions, discussing things that have already been discussed a thousand times, and simply spamming. Naturally, people who have been on the forum for a long time are no longer interested in this. Therefore, closed topics appear, or the old-timers simply go to places where they find it more interesting – this process is inevitable. And regarding spamming, I agree, it needs to be stopped.

I could publish the Creator's responses, but I'm hesitant because he hasn't done so himself. Perhaps he doesn't want to exert his authority over anyone. But I can say that he has a "special policy regarding Flooding, which he doesn't want to disclose."

I'll say it: he just doesn't care! :mad: Let him take action! It's his creation, his brainchild! :smile32: It's time for him to take control! No Flooding! No spam! For "Might and Magic" everywhere! :smile04: :smile04: :smile04: :cool:

We need to eradicate FLOOD!!! Look, as soon as FLOOD topics stopped appearing in the top 10 (let's say), people practically stopped flooding...
We should more strictly suppress the flood itself and establish clear boundaries in the concept of "Flood"... And also take measures to improve discipline.

Take action? And for what purpose? We know of one site where there is no spam. As a result, tournaments are held there two or three times a year, and there is almost no growth in the number of players. But here, there are a decent number of tournaments, and the number of players is growing rapidly.

It is important to distinguish between off-topic posts in the "Off-Topic" section and off-topic posts in the "Heroes" sections. The former is a natural consequence of the forum's development. The latter is a problem that needs to be addressed. However, this is precisely where the issue lies. Many moderators turn a blind eye to such off-topic posts, while others lack the authority to deal with them.

I would gladly deal with it, but: a) I don't have the authority; b) I sometimes find it difficult to understand what constitutes "off-topic" in a given thread (this is, by the way, a very important point!).
I agree about the development... The "Boots" idea :smile18: ! :smile26:
