The Pyramid Message Boards
Is there any chance that the Pyramid Message Boards will move to a format like this one? As a user of the web interface, I find that these style message boards are much easier to navigate and more user friendly.

Re: The Pyramid Message Boards
Better yet is there a way to combine the two and have only some of these messages viewable by pyramid subscribers I know from a sales point of view it would be a hell of an incentive to see just what they are talking about especially when some of them are things only pyramid subscribers can find out.....
Also it would be nice to find it all in one place rather than having to log into pyramid and then into here to follow a discussion, as well it might reduce overlap of questions being asked in both spots.

As much as I prefer this style to the web interface and NNTP, I don't think it will happen. Besides, I could just see the whine fests here about the privelidged ones, much like they have been doing about Black Lodge over at NTL. |

Re: The Pyramid Message Boards
Well, they could simply change the look of the pyramid boards, then.

On the technical side, while making restricted access forums is easy, getting the access list from a magazine subscription list is not so easy, and importing an NNTP message store into forum software is not "practical." It seems everyone has an opinion about what interface they prefer, and while nine out of ten forum users prefer the forum interface, the same can be said for NNTP, etc. We don't have any plans to cancel the Pyramid NNTP groups, or for that matter the public NNTP groups like rec.frp.gurps, just because we started these forums. We'll let our fans use the interface they prefer to use to discuss our games - at least as long as they're civilized about it. :) |
