What if PSOW were no longer the #1 PSO-related website?

I mean, seriously. What if PSO got ousted from it's spot? The only thing it has going for it thus far is the awesome messageboard community(well, 10% of it is cool at least). And PSOW is really just PHP-Nuke with a messageboard.

Anyone could make a comprable site. Any of the moderators especially. And it's pretty easy to see how not in control of the rest of the site that they are. I mean, does anyone remember when the last serious update was?

That would be interesting. If one of the mods quit and started some real competition, not like that upstart Shotie and her board, but something comprable to PSOW. How do you think the rest of the mods would react?

[_xX_Frosty_Xx_]

That's a really good question. I mean, I know one of the mods could put up a good fight if they had to. This is a relitively simple board, and if someone has good knowledge of PHP, it'd be very simple to compare a site to PSOW.

[Guile]

I think people are just hooked on this site..so they would'nt need another one which would practically be the same..

[pixelate]

So what if a site spins off from PSOW? It's happened before and not much changed. People still fall into their same groups but with only new site addresses.

And why would it have to be considered competition? Does it have to be "We're better than you! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif" with everything nowadays?

Mods shouldn't care because it would be a completely different entity and would not involve them in any way.

I think people have some serious popularity issues if another site is made just to spite another one.

Pixelate, you can go jump in that lake now.

Hmm?

[Spy]

Crap. I forgot what I was going to say. Anyone want to take a guess as to if there are any undercover mods, like people who have mod powers but aren't listed as mods? I bet there are a couple of them out there.

[Guile]

I BET SPY IS ONE!!
come on his name is spy...

I post at 4 forums but mainly at PSOW, and the other 3 came after PSOW so not much has changed for me

[Danger_Girl]

I know who the undercover mod is. This person is watching us right now...waiting...watching...

That's it buddy! Can you say IP Banned?

You wish Spy. I can imagine what you would do with mod power. Everyone would worship you. Nothing unkind would ever be said about Spy.

Its already bad enough with you always having to get the last word in.

Owned!

I don't think there is or will ever be a better site than PSOW as far as forums. When it comes to actual content, PSO Arena has us beaten by a long shot.
So the it's not a matter of what if, it's a matter of already happening.

[Kent]

Keep in mind that, apparently, PSOW is more of a news/community site then a gameplay site.

[Pepsi-Man]

Mamak has the best news I think, they are always so on the ball http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[BlackRose]

People may leave, but they always come back. PSOW couldn't die if it wanted to.

Ditto that.

As far as updates and all that kind of stuff, this website is kind of lacking. The forums are alot of fun though.

Yeah. Not as bad as this though.

*Fires 3-second bursts into DG's shoulders*

Hahahahahaha

[Cube]

heh, very true. PSOW couldnt die even if it wanted to.I dont even know why I come back... Somtimes its the game, somtimes its the board, sometimes its the people... but overall... I have no idea...

But is PSOW really number one? In my mind, It probably is... But really... All PSOW truly has is a great Message Board (Many will argue that).

I think PSOW should merge with another site, so we have a nice flow of steady news.

[Armiatge]

As long as I have this C++ class, Ill be posting at PSOW cause I dont really have much else to do during class time... hmmm... maybe I should do some classwork... naaaaaahhhh

[PlatinumGame]

Anyone care to tell me when PSOW became the #1 PSO-related website? ROFL

[TedEdFred]

Mamak has that nice item database http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
PSOW has nice forums.

[Dangerous55]

I'd eat my hat.

[RavenTW]

I don't know about the rest of the mods, but I would stay here for the forum, and use the opposing site for information!

Oh yeah, when it comes to forums, www.psotakus.com/forums has got you beat. The good news is, they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
slow with making they're actual website, a snail could beat them walking. I mean, I take a good 6-month-or-so hiatus, and they go from 40% completed to 40.007%. Another good thing is that there losing interest in PSO.

It has the potential to pass us in popularity, but right now it's too new.
As for Pepsi-Man, damn got banned in one day. Not even Sleet was that much of an ass to the mods....

[IceBlink]

I think if one of us left and started their own forum... we'd link to each other. ^_^ We get along well enough, so I don't see how we could turn on each other so dramatically. o_O

Unless, that is, PSOW turns into WWE with it's strange storylines of backstabbing... ^_^;

People always have said I'm slow for 19 and I'd tend to agree.

Mamak has a nice item database, but it focuses on far too many other games IMHumbleO to be considered the defacto PSO site.

P.S. Any 9-yr old can install an Invision board. I did.

[merlin]

Well....

I used to hang out here quite a bit...(read: post whore supreme). Then I sorta stopped playing PSO and went away since this is mainly a PSO site. But.....the PSO thing is revving up again, so I'm back. Welcome to me (lol).

This place is like a comfortable pair of shoes. It feels right. That's good enough reason for me to hang around again.

The next one will be heard round the world.

As said, I'm not sure if PSOW is the best PSOW related site. Does that really bother anyone? We have a great forum here, and alot of people have come here, met others, and had a great time.

If there was a dedicated PSO site linked to PSOW, I'm not sure. It almost sounds like a clash, expecially if the other site were to open it's own forum. That'd kinda be like back-stabbing PSOW.

PSO site and PSOW link up, PSOW being the community aspect and the PSO site being dedicated solely to news and PSO information. The PSO site would kinda have to agree to not post PSO codes, since PSOW doesn't agree to post the codes. It would be kinda tricky to keep everything in order and make sure no toes were stepped on.

I say let PSOW be it's own entity, and as everyone has done for so long, just to goto Mamak and other PSO sites for their information. This would keep alot of problems down, and there's nothing wrong with how PSOW is right now.

*throws $1.50 on the table and leaves*

[merlin]

Yes.....Merlin will now taste of FOmar blood instead of FOnewm blood.

I hope that those FOmars aren't as goofy and large-assed as the poor FOnewms were. They DO get to wear nice flowing robes though....

If PSOW weren't the #1 PSO website, I think the sky would fall, life would cease to exist on earth, and maybe the sun would explode too.
