CommanderFox Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 There's been a lot of chit chat on pricing and availability in the Rumor & Picture topic, so I decided to pin the other topic for them to rant in. We like ranting Shadows, Kim knows that to well. Shortly we'll add a "Useful Reviews" somewhere.It'll include reviews on for example useful stuff like the recent review of "Star Wars Complete Locations" by echobasehoth. Keep'em coming. Having a list of useful books and techniques for MOCing is a great source. That would be Great! Im really keen on the techniques for MOCing part. I would really like to know how to MOC better, so then I can win contests! You'll have to do better on April 1st. Agreed! You can't fool us, MODs! CommanderFox Quote
RileyC Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Agreed!You can't fool us, MODs! CommanderFox They fooled me for a while .. Until I got corrected Quote
CloneCommanderDelta7 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Oh I thought CloneCommanderCaptainRex was a new recruit for EB but then I saw he had KimT's profile picture and I thought CCCR copied KimT. Nope I was wrong, realising KimT has done this before. It seems KimT took the CloneCommander from my name and took Captain Rex from CaptainRex110 or one of the many Captain Rex's. I searched for 'CloneCommander' and 'Delta' and apart from myself and KimT (for the first search)(or should I say CloneCommanderCaptainRex)there were only one other for both searches. And they were both new!!! So I was completely original (apart from 7 ) fro a while before they joined!!! Yay. Now isn't that a little bit of trivia! Quote
Millacol88 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 KimT and the other mods are just poking some fun at all the members with usernames such as clone/commander/captain something who flooded the forum around a year and a half ago. His title explains it. Quote
The Legonater Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Though this dosen't have to do with SW directly, how ddo you change the writing between the profile info and the Picture? Quote
Clone OPatra Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Though this dosen't have to do with SW directly, how ddo you change the writing between the profile info and the Picture? It in fact has nothing to do with Star War at all. That is called a title, and you cannot change it, only staff can. Threads in the Website & Forums section will explain in greater detail. Quote

His title explains it. Exactly, there are so many member with unoriginal clone commander names or commander this or clone this, I've noticed this trend as well. Quote
Future74 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) KimT and the other mods are just poking some fun at all the members with usernames such as clone/commander/captain something who flooded the forum around a year and a half ago. His title explains it. And I think he's right. In the past he has done it before, but adding Shadows did get me to! Btw KimT, you should have added darth as well EDIT: What?! Beaten to it by the Dark Lord KimT himself... Edited January 5, 2010 by Future74 Quote
TheBrickHitHouse Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Seems the board has obtained a Lego 'insider' the 'insider' can be found on any forum u go to - full of vague answers, contradictions and the obligatory abysmal grammar seems to be a 'take it or leave it' approach at the moment - which seems to invite fantasists a genuine insider will be reluctant to 'prove' their credentials to joe public - so to keep the board free of the riff raff perhaps they could be 'signed off' by admins? They could then back up the sources honesty? That way people's time isn't wasted and the info we do get is so much more intresting just an idea ...oh i work for Lego too, in their 'product buying' department :) Quote
CommanderFox Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Exactly, there are so many member with unoriginal clone commander names or commander this or clone this, I've noticed this trend as well.

Yes he does seem to leek info very easily... what do you MODs think of this? Do you believe him? Thanks! CommanderFox Quote

KimT Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 Wether I believe or not, isn't the question here. To my knowledge no false info or lies have been posted in the rumor topic. What to do, would be to stop throwing stones at other members. Control your own actions - don't try to control those of others. Rockinkurt has been given a lot of heat in the rumor topic and that's totally unacceptable. If he (or any other member) at any time gets out of line, then leave it to us - the moderators - to act. Ignore is always a good solution. Quote
RileyC Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 KimT why is your star wars tag different to everyone elses? Quote
KimT Posted January 9, 2010 Author Posted January 9, 2010 KimT why is your star wars tag different to everyone elses? Because I can. And it's not different to everyone else Quote
Future74 Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Vacation's over KimT, you've got work to do on the news topic! Thanks to Tyleraf's link with high resolution pictures. Quote
KimT Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 So since everything automatically opens in the same window as you're browsing ,we've decided to unpin a lot of topics. Meaning that the topics previously pinned can now be found via the pinned "Star Wars Forum Index" and you wont have to bother with multiple browser windows. Smart, eh? Quote

Sorry but I really don't like what you have done here. I find it takes longer to get to the topic I want if it is not on that 1st page and if I am on my phone like others too use, I will find it harder to navigate to the topics when say I am at the shops and want to see what the number out of ten a set is. Plus what happened to the banner, the new one only covers part of the banner section so the rest is now just blue, it needs to be much longer for it to reach the whole screen.

KimT Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 Mkay. So what are you asking? The repinning of the 2010 News And Rumor topic? What banner? Where? On your phone? Quote
Eskallon Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Mkay. So what are you asking? The repinning of the 2010 News And Rumor topic? What banner? Where? On your phone? I think that the Review Index should be pinned back up, then so should the 2010 News And Rumor topic. The banner seems to be a problem on Firefox which I switched to, to make that 1 post to see if there is a difference. I just realised that it is the whole site so I will screenshot it and add it as a problem in the board upgrade thread. Quote
sok117 Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Forgive me for my insolence, but what happened to the review index? I can't find it Quote

KimT Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 What I've done is I've changed the forum settings in my profile so that I now have 40 topics per page. That ensures that nothing important gets outpaged. But if you guys think that having a bunch of pinned topics is the way, then that's what we do. Quote
JimBee Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 I agree with having at least the Review Index still pinned. While the new sets discussion thread is posted in every few minutes, the review topic is usually left alone. Yet, I do use it often. Never mind. It's great that you have that huge Forum Index, though. Really helps in finding important stuff. Quote
KimT Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks. When I made the Forum Index I decided to have the most important topics in the first post. Perhaps people should have a look in the Forum Index before asking where did the news topic go for example. We're all thrown off guard by the new forum look and changes. But it had to happen - now let's make the most of it Quote

Good solution to an unfortunate and unexpected problem. Quote
