Acriku Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hi Im new!Welcome ;D Please enjoy our company and do not be pressured to post although the consequences of not posting every minute of your downtime are certainly deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I reckon that's probably the first and only time he'll post, based on what we know about the people who sign up these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D2k Sardaukar Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You need to give people something to post for, else they never get in touch with the 'post-fever'.Perhaps it's an idea to give custom titles to who posts for the first time in the welcome thread?

MrFlibble Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 If people have something to say, they will say it. There's no need to lure people into the forum with fancy stuff like custom titles or anything. Those are cheap tricks in my opinion, and they won't do us good if we want reasonable Dune-themed conversations here. I, for one, would not be happy if the forum suddenly got crowded by people discussing anything in the world but Dune. Or, even worse, spending their time in never-ending flamewars :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypatia Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Hello, folks:I registered some time ago, but finally decided to join in the discussion. I belong to several Dune forums and admin Arrakeen. The only gaming-centric Dune site I've been aware of and posted to has been the Yahoo! PBEM group, so I'm curious to see what people here discuss. The only Dune gaming I've done has been the board game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMurdock Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Hello I'm MikeMurdock. I joined this site to not only try to learn more about Dune, but also to help me to get some of the dune games to work on my PC. I own a computer with sadly Windows Vista.

Vanguard3000 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 That's rough, Mike. It'll be a while before I bother with Vista myself. Definitely stop by the Tech Help board and ask around. Someone's got to have the skills to get them running.And, of course, drop by the Duniverse board as well with any questions you have about the series.

Kirby Gotenks absorbed Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Is there anything good about Vista? It seems completely buggy/glitchy, broken, and useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 My dad has it and so far it seems to run fine for simple office/internet tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Is there anything good about Vista? It seems completely buggy/glitchy, broken, and useless.It's good if you have an expensive/high end computer. That's about it. It's bad for old computers and low end/cheap new computers. Win XP is better for those, since your cpu/ram goes towards programs and not the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I've asked around a bit, and it seems like Vista is rejected by both regular consumers as well as system operators. It's heavy, it has alot of useless "features" and it doesn't really add anything important that wasn't already in XP (or NT, for that matter).

Savageman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 i don't think it's that people are afraid to talk...maybe they joined lookin for answers... and once they get their answer they no longer have a need for forums like thisi mean with mmorpgs out forums become old and people just talk over live gameplay sad but true =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I literally just sent you a message about this thread, either you're incredibly quick, or it was a co-incidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Well, the lack of new users posting here is rather disappointing. I'll leave this thread as a sticky until the end of April, but if new users don't start posting in it in decent numbers by then, I'm downgrading it to a regular forum thread. Then if we still see no effect by the end of May, Newt should stop sending out the IMs.Well, today is the end of April, and we barely have a handful of new members posting in this thread. I think it's safe to say the Welcome Thread experiment has been, on the whole, a failure. The thread will therefore be unstickied.Still, we should continue trying to get new members to introduce themselves here over the next month. Maybe our luck will change.

gunner154 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Wow, you're actually paying attention to the fact that all these have just been parts of the experimentation. I had forgotten about that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
