No one posts goodbye notes anymore. Is there anyway to allow posting anonymously again? Even if it signing in and checking an anonymous box?

People only respond to topics that don't involve the character, which is usually a flamefest (most recent example being Pro's deleted character).

People that delete and want to tie their forum handle to the deleted character usually do so, so they get to say whatever they want about whoever they want without consequence usually (Sakilan being the most recent example of this).

And then you have fairly prominent characters who are deleting and just not posting anything, because they would prefer to remain anonymous, and posting a goodbye thread isn't worth losing that anonymity.

There has to be a better solution to Krilcov being a f**kup. Is the staff working on something? Do you need suggestions from other computer nerds (nerds are appreciated, I mean this non-derogatory).

>No one posts goodbye notes anymore.

It wasn't always this way, and doesn't have to be. I guess the powers that be think it's for the best.

Its all of what 2 minutes to setup a new account to post under a different name? The fact that this is too much effort for 99% of the players tells me that most people don't care that much.

That I'd have to set up multiple throwaway email accounts to do this.

I did it for one character. There's no way I'm doing this for every character I play.

"The fact that this is too much effort for 99% of the players tells me that most people don't care that much."

Not caring enough to make a new email address account and new forum account for every character we play does not strike me as not caring "that much". We'll just have agree to disagree.

Set up a throwaway email account. Then set up an account here.

Just so you can post on someone ELSE'S goodbye thread? Of course no one cares enough to go through all that.


But the fact is, the Graveyard was actually interesting to read when people would post there as active characters. Now.. the only thing anyone says is a generic "Good job". It's lame.. especially when there are alternatives.

No, the staff is not working on anything.

Allow people to post on Just the graveyard with whatever handle they want once they are Logged in.

The Moderators can already track players in game so they know who is playing who if they want. They are pretty classy in keeping that knowledge to themselves, so why not just use this solution to let people post as whatever they want.

That way only people with accounts can post, but it will still be as whatever they want their name to be. Should keep the Meth head at bay.

And I'm not a web/php guy. The last forum change I tried to make I spent way to long on and didn't even work.

If you want, I can ask old man Harold (Our grumpy web guy) how difficult a change it is to make when I go back in to work on Tuesday.

... parts of CF too! To see what people thought about your char, to tell others what you thought of their char etc. I can spend HOURS in the graveyard, or rather, I could... Then a ####up like Krilcov ruins that ####.

Somewhere an IMM said it's fine to create a handle for the character, I think.

Not a bad solution if someone really wants to post.

And while it works, it isn't really an ideal solution. I too feel it's unfortunate that the battlefield forum has completely withered up and died. It was one of the really nice components to celebrate the end of a character.
