Thread name won't change?
I can't seem to change the thread name for my Death Note Mafia game. I've never had a problem before, but the name-change seems to only effect the subect in the thread and not how the thread looks from the outside. This is bad, as that's how I tell people when sign-ups or recoil are going on and what page to look at for them.

This is something that has happened before with regular users for whatever reason. I cannot remember why it is, or how to fix it.
If you would like, I can change the thread title to simply say Death Note Mafia. I know that this gets in the way with players and potential players knowing what is currently happening with the game, but the rest of the forum games seem to get by with trusting players to keep up with the threads themselves and to advertising to other forum users when game sign-ups are going to be. Otherwise we can't do anything about it. Sorry. :/ |

I currently need the thread title to say Death Note Mafia-Game 3 in progress!(Page 25). And we really need to figure out how to fix this.D :

Are you sure you can't live with having it just say Death Note Mafia? The rest of the forum games live this way despite having luxury of changing the title in the past. Last edited by MrsSallyBakura; 05-18-2011 at 10:04 PM. |

The other games have also been around longer and have steady players, which is not the same case for mine.

And really, if your forum game dies off due to inactivity (even if you decided to personally let everyone know when sign-ups begin), it's not the end of the world. And besides, your game started at around the same time as HolyShadow's Death Note: Another Forum Game. Mafia TFG recently got picked back up again. Both are doing fairly well without constant title changes. Last edited by MrsSallyBakura; 05-18-2011 at 10:27 PM. |

Both of those games have been around longer and are more popular, as well as run by people who are the same. I'm considered new, and without page numbers and updates, a lot of people overlook the thread or get intimidated. And you're being a little insensitive about the forum game thing...: ( You guys should find out what's causing this problem, as you're the staff.

We've gone through the process of finding out what's wrong before. We don't know what it is, and I don't have the power to figure it out.
As I have told you, if your game does not succeed simply because people won't know by looking at the thread title when sign-ups are, it's not the end of the world. You can always mass PM people to let them know when sign-ups have begun. You can also encourage people to subscribe to the thread. There are other ways to advertise your game that have nothing to do with changing the title. And if your game does fail, oh well. That's life. |
