The moderators are currently doing great, but don't you think that a very large influx of yogscast fans (and FTB haters) would be a bit much for four global mods?
Dividing people up based on what they watch or pack they use will create the very division you would hate to see. Most people who walk into a clean house will try to keep it clean. (most, not all) I would personally love to see more players and those of the old mc port central team/community come here.
Im sorry but I dont like it. It has the potential to be great. Making tracks takes far too long and the recipes are too expensive. 2 WHOLE BLOCKS OF IRON FOR A LAUNCH TRACK! SERIOUSLY!! WTF!!!! Elevator tracks are stupid. vertical tracks would be better.The recipes are also too complicated. Making a track is like making a plane from flan's mod! Making blast furnaces are too hard. You need to get blaze powder just to make steel for god sake! EVERY LITTLE BUMP CAUSES HIGH SPEED RAILS TO EXPLODE AND IT KILLS ME!! All i want to do is go from a high speed rail to a launch pad but i cant! IT JUST GOES BOOM! It takes half an hour to make a stack of track with one coke oven! SIMON FROM THE YOGSCAST GOT ED OF WITH THIS AND RESORTED TO CONDENSING THE TRACK INSTEAD!
The mod could be greatly improved by:
-simplifying track recipes
-making advanced tracks cheaper
-making the ovens/furnaces work faster
-and NO MORE HIGH-SPEED EXPLOSIONS!
It's okay, i didn't need my sides anyway.I hope they don't because then all their fans will come and whine about ftb not being overpowered enough for them. Here's a perfect example I recently saw on the mcforums railcraft thread
EDIT: no idea why it splits it into 2 quotes its all supposed to be one...
Except children. The exception on your analogy is also the exception that is present here as without generalizing, a lot of the yoggscast fanbase is young. I wasn't really saying people couldn't come in here, but in the end someone who is impatient will likely go to the first place they can ask - if you point that as an FTB yoggscast forum then it's all settled. Those interested in the general FTB pack as a whole will naturally branch outside of that forum, and if they desire help they can't get they will also naturally look elsewhere on the forum for that. I think only one person (and in jest) suggested to hide the current forums from them.
I wonder if possibly a way around the Children Problem is to have a section set up for 18+, since we need to register our age when we create an account. It doesn't have to have many sections, maybe just a general discussion board and server promotion board, somewhere where adults can have a bit of breathing space away from children, I'm sure currently the moderators have boards only they can access to have breathing space away from us.
I have no idea if this would work in practise.

"MLP takes too long and the recipes are too expensive. 2 WHOLE EQUESTRIUM LOVE CRYSTALS FOR A PIXIE WAND! SERIOUISLY WTF!!!!!!!!! Love-fuelled engines are stupid, they should be self-refuelling. The recipes should also only take four ingredients or less, as i think i speak for everyone when i say counting to five is hard. Making a diamondillium magi-horn is like making a tunnel bore from railcraft!"

Personally I find segregation by age to be a bit to the extreme. While I am younger then most active members of the forum, that doesn't mean I am any less mature. Now yes, a large number of the members of the yogscast('s fan base too) can be quite immature, it would be a nice popularity boost to the pack if they switched over. However, as others have predicted, our moderators would fail us and we either A) Divide the forums between them B) Make Moderators/have a responsible upholding community to make sure that the forums are running smoothly. I already know that a good number of us are wonderful reassuring faces I have found on a number of threads going straight to the point and stopping arguments. If we had, say, a whole community or so of people doing this, then the forums would practically never fall into a state of disarray, no matter the stress.
So my proposal is this: as long as we have good forum users who keep the others in check, we should be fine.
(By the way we need a secret club of all the awesome people on this forum, what should we call it?)
Basically that's what im thinking the endgame of the yogs switching would be like on our end. As someone mentioned before: no one shits on a clean floor. or something.So my proposal is this: as long as we have good forum users who keep the others in check, we should be fine.

Haha, I'm not actually sure I can figure it out. Give me half an hour...Basically that's what im thinking the endgame of the yogs switching would be like on our end. As someone mentioned before: no one shits on a clean floor. or something.
A continuously positive community would probably have a much stronger influence than strict behavioral rules would.
Let's call it something that no forum troll could ever type correctly. Something like "You're theirs until it isn't yours when they're not there." They'll never figure it out.
