Addressing the Current Situation

Snack said:
Let's make this clear: it is not Conq's website, that was one of the main points of creating it. It is not run by one person, like TI is now. It is run by a group of admins and moderators. Secondly Shamatix started working on this website last week. This is not some grand scheme that has been underway for months and months.

The creation of this new website is a necessary change, sure everybody is telling them to just work it out. But that is what the creators of XPoff.com has been trying to for months. They are former admins of TI. They realized they would never get through to Myrm, and that he was too paranoid to see the bigger picture; he needed help to make TI survive.

This wasn't something that happened suddenly. I bought the site in mid July and outlined my plans for it, Shamatix made his first Xenforo site in early September because he thought he could build his first and capitalize on the hype that had been created for a new site.

Perhaps you didn't read my post.

All of them should suck it up and work together.

Perhaps you didn't read mine. Myrm is to stubborn to work with so the people trying help him decided to leave.
 
Why make a new twinking site, when eu.battle.net/wow/en, has russians to laugh at?
wow bg forums has the drama TI used to, ukno bk b4 TI degenerated into a forum for underage halfnaked boys whose moms didnt give them enough attention..

Granted I havnt bothered checking TI for months until today, when I first heard about xpoff.com.. But I dont expect much to have changed ?

Edit: Wtf is up with sigs atm ?

why are 19s more important than every other bracket? no matter how active a bracket is, there is still a community involved. what irks me is we had a fishing hat above the banner for the longest time, now 'xpoff' has a shadowfang in their name.

its not more important its just that for instance 49 bracket holds no activity and hasnt since lk (?) sure its nice for nostalgia purposes but lets be honest for the last years this forum has been a 19 twink forum while formally it may have been been regarded as a general twinking web site other bracket sections is only a burden and a sad reminder that twinking has been and is dying

20-29 has no communities anymore basically and its not really vital for in game activity since everyone queues anyway and games are shit

i know nothing about websites but if you could strip off all shit brackets i guess it would be cheaper to run but i could be wrong as i said i know nothing about these stuff
 
I agree that it feels like I'm viewing the forums on a gameboy now but that has nothing to do with whether TI dies or not because that doesn't stop drama. Stale pugs/in-game shit = stale forums, once activity picks up and even legion drops it'll pick up

if deleting subsections makes the website cheaper than by all means the idea should be explored, but ultimately it does more harm than good in regards to the cliques involved.

I doubt that's how it works.

Shamatix and myself explained this numerous times: the website that he told Blackout he was working on, and the website Myrm mentions, is the Gurubashi Surf Club website: https://gurubashisurf.club/

This is becoming circular but it was twonkinfo.com and the custom style from gurubashisurf.club is the current style for xpoff.com.
 
rofl, twonkinfo.com redirects to gurubashisurf.club. that's a clear indication that a plan to replace twinkinfo.com has been underway from in fact September 2015.

also naming it twonkinfo is pathetic, glad you guys had second thoughts.

1. anyone who treats himself like a martyr for investing 1000 usd into a project concerning thousands of people can gtfo lol

2. anyone who w/o blinking deletes years of documented twink info (literally lol) is probably a dangerous person in many aspects

3. lets not forget shane is the biggest dick to have walked the surface of earth

4. myrms seems very paranoid about shamatix

5. my suggestion: delete all forum sections except 19s OR move 19s section to a new site w/e since its the only active community no other twinking brackets will ever (maybe 39 or so idk) see community activity ever again

I agree with this apart from the last point.
 
The majority of the development of the site that according to HB was "supposed to be Twinkinfo" was done in groups and calls that I wasn't even invited to.

There were three serious offers to help on the technical side of things prior to Shamatix and I accepted all of them. I explained why I didn't accept Shamatix's in this thread.

A lot of the things that HB is saying just aren't true.

if we want to take twinkign into the future, the word "twink" needs to be dropped for adsense/ blizz acceptance... thats my reason for thinking that either myrm needs to do that himself or he should link up with the niggas tryna do it for him

Jesus... Did you even read Shamatix reply? He said he bought the domain to mess around with an improved version of TI, contacted Shane who refused, then used that domain to help the GSC guild out. And cut out that bullshit "you guys", you are already starting to demonize the very own people who actually has the best intentions for our community.

Read my response to Zeiren. And yes, it seems Shamatix used the layout from gurubashisurf.club on XPoff.com, and who can blame him, it's cool as fuck. Unlike TI atm.
