    A lot of people are lurkers too who'll follow along but don't necessarily comment or partake in the guessing games. Also, since the move to the new forums, a lot of people use the "like" feature so they'll like a post and not necessarily comment because there's not really a point commenting "Awesome!" or "Looking forward to this!" when a simple click basically covers it. So yeah, I wouldn't look at numbers to decide that as the quantity, quality and uniqueness of dynasties is probably better than it's ever been.

    I cannot emphasise what Mammoth has said here enough and it goes both ways too. Writers shouldn't be discouraged if they're not getting a lot of views/comments (I've been there before!). It's a bit Field of Dreams but if you write it and you write it long term, people will come if they're interested.

  2. Yeah, as jhd said the only thing would be to link here. We've no issues with blogs/saves/diaries/full motion videos etc using the mod but just ask that for anyone porting to another game or thinking about doing any mod work to contact us first to pitch and then go from there. Without meaning to sound all big headed, this has been jhd's child for over a decade now (and I'm surely coming up to the big double digit mark now too!) so we do like to keep creative rights.

    I forgot, but I started putting together event logos for the Thunderverse a while back and it turns out I've still got them. Here's a complete set for AAW, having started alphabetically. I've also got a few AJJ events but I figure I'll see if I can finish them before posting. If it's something the team (or its fans) is interested in, I may be able to find some time to try and complete all events?

    Only just noticed the Avalanche logo is in the Avs colours, a poster after my own heart! The whole set of logos you've done are superb Mammoth. Once you're done and have them synced up, I'm happy to upload a download that includes them with the rest of the mod as long as you are. :)

  4. To be fair, this is the first year where RevPro have made as big a deal (Going Copper Box etc) for the anniversary. Normally it's just the bog standard York Hall affair, it's definitely not their WrestleMania type show (saying that, no one over here has a show with that time of prestige). Moot has it right on why shows are popping up, they want to do a Mania weekend type feel except in a city with absolutely terrible public transport so we'll see how that goes. 😅

  5. Just a reminder that this thread shouldn't really be used to post when you've posted a show in a dynasty, it's a bit counterproductive that way as people will see the update there already. This should largely be used for ideas/questions about running them/promo posts before the diary/dynasty is still in the workshop phase. The odd promotion post is fine but the last few pages have mostly been promotion for existing works.

  6. Not going to do some big state of the thread address but that's twice in the space of a week that mods have had to step into this thread because of petty back and forth stemming from one or two posts. I've removed the posts now and this is the last of it. If it continues after this, anyone carrying on will get warnings or whatever else comes from it.

    I'm going to reopen the thread but I'd like to remind/show everyone who reads this post a handy trick for ignoring people that you don't want to see posts from. Click on your profile dropdown on the top left and go to ignored users. From there, add anyone you don't want to see posts, mentions or messages from.

    If anyone feels like this is overreaching or silencing criticism of AEW, I'd like to reiterate that's not the case. I, personally, don't really care for AEW one way or the other so if people are being blunt about it that's nothing to me and I presume the other mods are largely the same. We'll only step in if it goes past fair criticism and goes into posts that are either attacking other users or deliberately worded to provoke a reaction. If that's not to anyone's liking, you're welcome to find another space on the internet to discuss AEW (or any other topic, AEW is just the example because of the thread this is in).

    Warning for being critical of AEW in an AEW discussion thread? Lmao

    Interestingly I was also critical of last nights RAW in the WWE discussion thread but no warning for that one

    How strange

    Most AEW fans are the type of obsessed cultists with nothing else going on in their lives that were refreshing Ticketmaster within 5 minutes of the pre-sale. I honestly think the bulk of the tickets they will sell have already been sold. I'm so confident about this that I will delete my account if they sell over 60,000 

     

    Do you personally work for AEW? Who is "we"? This is the exact type of cultism I am talking about. I have never in my life seen a WWE fan refer to thar company as "we" but it's a daily occurance with AEWtists

    Genuinely strange behaviour

    Believe it or not, I nor the rest of the mods check every thread on this board. Your post that I said knock it off about got sent my way. Again, knock it off with the talk of cultism or attacking fans - it's not conductive to any sort of discussion.

    I'm not saying you can't be critical but when you're just taking random potshots at people and trying to cover it as criticism, that's when the mods will step in. If that's not to your liking, you are welcome to find another space on the internet to post in.

  8. Dimes, knock it off. Not the first time you've taken potshots at posters. Take this as a warning and next time it happens it's a timeout of some description.

    Everyone else, take the above as a warning and play nice. I'm sure there will invariably be some form of ticket sales discourse based off of the All In ticket sales, keep it civil.
