In our move into a social gaming website, we have now added a brand new feature to Rune Gear. Simple, by accessing a users profile and clicking "Follow", you're subscribed to any new threads they post as well as their new status updates. We will be adding more features to ensure Rune Gears movement into the social gaming genre and hope you all support us in this movement.

Anyways, there are minor bugs with the avatars and such, but all is being fixed. Enjoy guys!

RE: Follow a User

I am confused. So was adding a trash talking section also a way into moving into a social gaming website?

Anyways, this is pretty cool.

Everyone should follow me. I flame people the best. I also troll people better than Nestea.

No, why would it be? Adding a trash talk section gives users a method to release some steam while having fun.

I don't know; I really don't think adding more drama is a good thing. I think a lot of people will start being more LQ outside of that section too.
 
RE: Follow a User

We need the section. Being HQ all day takes the life out of me.

If there's drama we can handle that, but I doubt there will be too much tbh. By giving them a place to vent, as well as us, less drama occurs in the normal sections.

Honestly, if I came to a forum and seen all of the most recent posts are "fuck [Username]", it would be make me want to not be active. Why? Well, a way to gain rep on a forum is to start posting. You can't really post in the trash talk section since you really haven't been active long enough. So where do you post? That's also a problem. Rungear is lacking content. Since we are a community forums, we rely on our members to bring content. But going back to the trash talk section. It is kind of like rep. Though everyone says, "I don't care about rep", they really do. Someone can make a thread in the trash talk section attacking someone and that person may not like it. Why would we promote calling people out? No one likes to be slapped in the face in front of a big crowd. I seen so many people come through RG trying to be active only to be driven out by the community. Perfect example, excilez. Since we are a tight community, if you aren't accepted by us, then you are a outsider. That's not really encouraging for new members.
 
RE: Follow a User


We can't do anything about users being douche bags sometimes, since we do have some members like that, and we have other members who are very accepting. When that forum was added, we removed it from the most recent posts, and I'm also considering blocking that forum from users with less than 50 posts, since that could fix up some issues with newer members.
 
RE: Follow a User

Interesting. I like it, easier to stalk people.
 
RE: Follow a User

Kinda creepy, but suppose it could work
 
RE: Follow a User

RE: Follow a User

Am I the only one who doesn't see the point in this?
 
RE: Follow a User

Not a single fuck was given.
