I personally am unsure. I'm open to ideas from the rest of the members here.

Personally, I'm just about in the middle (which is a horrible place to be).
Yes, many characters (and even the Stamarian Military) use Horses and Wyverns to travel. So, it makes sense to at least mention some sort of stable in the boards.
But then again, adding a bunch of new boards (as I think we'd have to do. At least one for every major city) would be time-consuming and probably not worth the time. While people would start threads in the stables, I imagine they'd take them out of the Stables just as quickly.
So...perhaps add in a few sentences about stables to the major city descriptions?
Or alternatively, just let RP'ers flesh them out in threads having to do with stables. Of course, that can lead to wildly different descriptions of stables, but that could be explained as there being many stables in the city/surrounding area.
Just my thoughts on it.

Look if no one wants it you can just say so, there's no need to tiptoe around my feelings.

I would think RD and Steiner are more credible than that.
Everyone has done nothing more than discuss the ideas you've brought up in this topic. Please, get off your high horse.
No one here is simply out to get you. You're not worth the time or effort.

DS' caustic remarks aside, he is right in that we're not trying to avoid the topic. Your ideas have merit but they are flawed, and we're working to get around those flaws so it can be implemented in a way that it benefits everyone.

Oh, I see. It's okay for him to be a jerk as long as I don't snap back. How kind of you RD.
DS, shutup. I don't need to hear it from you.
I'm just saying, you guys seem to think it's more trouble than it's worth, so if you don't want to deal with it then just tell me and we can be done with it. I wasn't being upset with anyone. I was saying you guys don't need to worry about annoying me if you don't want to do this. =)

You're not worth the time or effort. Yeah, that's not passive aggressive/aggressive at all. And by the way, it's not the topic of this conversation, so my suggestion is that you not bring it up again. RD has already said he doesn't want anymore argument.

My reaction to the bickering.Given your earlier assumption that he only posted to make trouble, it is pretty passive. At worst, it's mildly rude. Just let it go. As for the ideas... Well, adding currency seems counter-productive and limiting. Activity may stir up, but only with the sole purpose of stock piling currency. Then there's charging for titles or graphics. Yeah, it works on other boards, but they tend to have a massive amount of members already. Stables aren't a terrible idea, but several more boards just for them? Steinerman's take on the subject seems pretty workable.

I don't see why people are so against adding the new boards. It's no aggravation for anyone but me and I don't mind doing it. And if you don't want to use them you don't have to. By my standing that's not a viable excuse to forgo the idea entirely.

plus, why would anyone want most of those things(currency idea), considering almost anything is obtainable on the internet?
right-click, save. other than originals, it's kinda easy to get just about anything.
no offense, risk, but frankly, the idea is well intended, but still pointless. if you want traffic, advertising is really about the only thing that can help you.
as for the issue with the boards, it just makes things more complicated. no use in added another layer if you can incorporate it into more basic forms and sprinkle it elsewhere.
it's too grand for it's own good

The money system wasn't actually the suggestion of this thread, which I imagine you might know if you had actually read the whole thing. Everyone needs to stop focusing on that and focus on the legitimate topic this thread was designed to discuss.

You brought it into this topic, and thus it's up for discussion.

Everyone needs to stop focusing on that and focus on the legitimate topic this thread was designed to discuss. because, as badguy mentioned, it was presented alongside it. that's misleading enough to equate this post as something akin to a retcon. personally, I'll focus on both. I'm good enough to do both.
