Before modification by Aemon at 04/09/2009 08:45:23 PM
Hello! Greetings and welcome from me and the rest of the admin team. It's a fine day for website launching, and we're happy you've all found your way to the new digs. Whether you're a refugee from way back or fresh blood stumbling across this board for the very first time, we hope you'll enjoy your stay.
What to expect:
RAFO Games will do it's best to be an active and interesting forum for the discussion of all sorts of games. On topic conversation is requested and enforced, but there will be some leeway as we ramp up to full operation. More information on the rules and regs will be posted in the near future, but for now, just behave yourselves and have fun.
How you can help:
Content
A successful forum community thrives on the quality of its discussion. Therefore, your most valuable contribution will be your time. Please post threads, contribute replies, flame my silly ideas into the ground, and the like. "No post too big, no thread too small, gaming topics, we love them all!" -Aemon's book of poems, excerpt from 'Ode to a gaming thread.'
Ideas
We're really trying hard to make this a place people want to be. A destination of sorts, if a smaller, community oriented one. This means we need Good Things™ that will make people want to stick around, once they find us. Good Things™ include everything from the organization of RAFOnaut playdates (remember the old Starcraft clan?), to obtaining game studio contacts, to message board contests, to whatever. If you have an idea, let it fly. If you need admin approval/support, send me a noteboard ASAP, and I'll help with everything I can.
Suggestions / bug reports
This site is new; it has its quirks, and it's missing features. It also has a very caring (yet busy) developer as webmaster, so please help him out by reporting any bugs you come across, and any capabilities you think RAFO should have. You'll find the link to the reporting tool on the left, under "Bugs and Suggestions." Don't be afraid to submit a bug even if you're not absolutely sure, because tickets are easy to close, and we'd rather have some false positives than miss problems.
TLDR
We're here, and we're awesome. Have a blast, go nuts, post things, and make us famous.
Enjoy the board!
