    Haha funny Syl, but I meant which site? I've been to plenty of RPG sites and this one is the best I've come across yet.

    [​IMG] He is obviously referring to the Baldur's Gate Top 10 list where Sorcerer's Place ranks at #2.

    The top site there has seen it's glory days in the time of the first Baldur's Gate and it accumulated all those votes 2 years before I even joined the list. SP will be at number one pretty soon. ;)

    You can vote for us on every page of Sorcerer's Place by clicking on the Top Ten button(s) located on the left part of the site, just below the site interface.

    I can say thanks to all here who have already voted and pushed us up the list so far, and to all future voters!

    I wonder why they don't have a top IWD and top BG2 vote poll if they have one for BG and Planescape.

    Taluntain and Sylvus: I just want to thank you both for being the best hosts I've ever had. Your site is increadible, and on the boards, you talk to the people on their level instead of condescendingly. I'm sure you have put a lot of time and effort in you site and I will definately vote for it. I have been to other sites with message boards and they suck compared to this one. The hosts only act as the peacekeepers and hardly ever converse with the members. I have never had any trouble with the site. (except for the short period when you were having trouble) You guys are awsome. You have my full support.

    I'm curious what other boards our posters go and visit and compare to with our boards here at Sorcerer's Place. Feel free to fill me in on the other communities out there that you don't see as being as up to par as the boards here. This way, I can also get a feel of what not to let happen that has happened at other boards that "you guys" consider out of control or not very well maintained.

    The way I see it, for any community, be it a BBS system from the good 'ol days of pirating or even message board communities such as these, is to build a good relationship between those who run the site and its users.

    Why would I or Sorcerer not treat everyone here on the same level? I can't speak for moderators of other message systems, but you miss out on a whole lot if you don't get to know your users. People participate more and also relax more knowing they can post anything they want and get the help they need, without some smart ass reply.

    Moderators that don't participate with their users leave a very "ghost town" type of feel to it. Here you are going to a message board and you have no idea who it is that runs it or what they're about.

    Pray tell if we'd ever let that happen! :)

    Syl...

    [​IMG] Thanks Vile. We try to do our best, and obviously it pays off. I can't imagine not being on the same level as everybody else here...
    After all, I started the whole Sorcerer's Place project as a fan. (And because at the time I felt that there was not a single good resource site for BG out there).
    Hopefully now the situation has been remedied, as you can always count on us to provide the biggest selection of coverage for all the supported games.

    [​IMG] Ah I see BT was at it again yet again cursing someone out. Hmmm....he seems to have a habit of that. Well if it is any consolation, BT pulled the plug on his own site about 2 months ago, left all his members high and dry with basically no explanation and no goodbye. I can understand when someone does not want to keep up a site anymore but just come clean and explain and maybe hand over the board if you are really decent. That is one of my petpeeves admins who don't care about their own boards. Oh well, no worries from that guy anymore anyway. And it looks like the admins and mods here do a good job.

    [​IMG] Congratulations, Tal. You're doing a great job in moderating and maintaining this board. I actually found you pretty tolerant in the past and compared to the rest of BG - sites this one is really somekind of a 'safehaven' in terms of being free of crap. Go on ! :)

    [​IMG] ??????????????????????????????

    Wouldn't it be nicer to wait one more month to resurrect this one?
    Otherwise, I do really miss a purpose of it.

    [​IMG] Thanks folks but I'm closing this one... It's a year old thread and not really relevant any more.
