You've got your history wrong, mate. The original mxoboards was Jurymen's thing; it had to be shut down because his participation was a conflict of interest with his position on the DN1 forums. It was his forum, and I'm glad you wouldn't want to use his boards, because we (i.e. over 300 people from all three servers) had a lot of fun on those forums until they were shut down. I couldn't imagine what they'd be like with you posting your nonsense on them.

I'm not talking about the old mxoboards, I'm talking about YOU and YOUR behavior on THESE boards. I used Jurymens old boards as well and thought for the short time it was up it was handled fairly well. I was sad to see it go just as everyone else was.

Not like it matters, because no one is forcing you into which forums to use. No one forced you to visit the DoE boards either (which is a terrible idea if you're from TC), where the administrators (of which I am not one) only come down on those who deserved it, like you -- usually for posting stupid stuff with no factual information to back it up, like your post above.

But obviously you have negative thoughts on the future of the community as it stands, so maybe it would be in your best interests to remove yourself from its future instead of bringing it to another forum, whichever it may be.

I never used the DoE boards, but I saw and heard how people behaved over there, so I never had any reason to use them. That's my point. In short, I don't trust you because of who your friends are (and because some of your actions here)

Negative thoughts on our future? Absolutly if you ran things... that was my entire point. But remember I'm not the one that was a member of a group that absolutly despised this place and ended up leaving (multiple times) only to come back and cause trouble (multiple times) then leave again. I have been here since the beginning and tried to stay positive about MxO and its future/direction. I don't deny that I too have had my share of drama points, but then I'm not the one volunteering here. BUT.... thanks for proving me right. I knew you wouldnt dissapoint.

Actually, despite DoE/FH conflicts in the past, a few FH were on those boards. And I can tell you from experience, it isn't as bad or as dramatic*snicker* as you say it is.

Lighten up imo.

Didn't even bother reading the wall 'o' text, but I just wanted to say...

Thrice.

What he said.

The MxOMainframe forum will be kept open for another year atleast, and if people are still posting at that point I will be happy to  it keep open. As always i'm interested in new board sugestions and what not (Hidden Faction boards? New MMO's?) ^.^

Linky!  ;D

As a fellow Enfant Terrible, I can vouch for Riac's all around good nature and love of the community!  And he is drama free

MxOMainframe is a fantastic suggestion for many of the reasons stated.

Ok I really should wait to post this until I get the site redesign finished buuuut...

TLFC - The Last Free City

thelastfreecity.com

This forum has been around since the movies were released. It was originally, and fittingly thematrixonline.com, but Warner Bros. purchased the domain from the original owner. We've got 10 years of in-depth Matrix analysis, good discussion, original stories, and a good community.

A few years ago I took over as an admin and as lead web developer. I'm a professional user experience designer and web developer, and I'm working on an all-encompassing redesign of the forum, adding new features such as a blog/news front page.

The site has been there for 10 years and isn't going anywhere. All these faction websites and forums set up for the Matrix Online specifically may not last very long, who knows what the owner will do or when they will run out of funding. With TLFC, we've been here way before The Matrix Online and we'll be there way after The Matrix Online, guaranteed. It's run by Matrix fans, for Matrix fans.

I'd honestly love it if you guys would come over and make TLFC your home, like it's been my one true internet home since seriously 2003. I want to keep seeing your great Matrix stories, pictures, comics, and just general discussions.

P.S. We have a very loose TOS and only ban people for deliberately trying to disrupt the forum badly. Other than that, and disgusting stuff, most things are all good.

P.P.S. I also own www.zionarchive.com and I would like help setting this up as an archive of the complete Matrix story, including the Matrix Online.

Wow and apparently it has jumbo fonts!   Loud Noises!

Not sure about The Last Free City. Sounds nice and it doesn't seem like it's going anywhere, but it's a different community. Would the migration of the MxO community to the LFC community really work out? The MxO community is distinctive; we know each other, we have our own RP and the like. Cohabiting with another community wouldn't work out too well if you ask me. It wouldn't be a natural place to, say, continue our RP (for those who care).

Great for general Matrix stuff, but not for MxO.

Hmm... for some reason I remember disliking TLFC at some point. MxO hatin' or something. Maybe that was somewhere else though, I dunno xD

This was around the time I was looking into spreading my wings to more general Matrix fan sites, hoping to spark interest again based off the story developments at the time. I ended up on MatrixFans2007 which was derived from some other site which was big in the day but got took over by spam bots.

Problem with generalised Matrix sites is a lot of fans shun the continuation as depicted in the games. Which is, you know, what I'm all about. lol.

I think there will always be someone or some group that will be against certain people rurning a forum, because ultimately, unlike these boards it is VERY likely to at some point have a unfair baised reaction, and you can't blame people for thinking that.

So I believe the whole community will flood to a single board? nope, just like the Matrix itself, we will end up in our own little pockets of resistance, these boards were our Zion.

MxO Mainframe doesn't look too bad, but regardless of any problems I know I've had with Symm in the past, I know he would run fair and equal forums. I'll jump around a few forums and see where people end up mostly, but I think like many I will have my own "home" forums, in my case being the Fallen Horizon forums.

So what might be a better idea is for a vote on which forums the community would prefer to class as our new "Zion", as it were, and then list your own remote base locations, so if people wish to stop by those places, they can.

Actually Riac runs that not Symm.

Yea, I know.

My comment was 2 fold, one about MxO Mainframe and other about Symm/Mxoboard.
