VuTales vs MMOTales

Tagged as: vutales, mmotales.

Written by Vusys on October 26, 2009
I realised earlier today, that in some ways, I hammered the final nail into MMOTale's coffin. When I deleted the old site from the server, there was no longer any live version or clone of MMOT. Mip thinks this is all ok, but I'm not so sure. I've said this before, but VuTales isn't MMOTales. They may be similar, share a similar name, userbase, feel, features, etc. But they are not the same. VuTales doesn't have an MMO focus, the leadership is different, and there are extra features. But more than that, the community is not the same. It's smaller, rather than the masses, and a small close-nit group that gathered together. It is a small group, and that's all.

This has become very apparent to me. Nass knows this, so does David:

(8:42:16 PM) David: So is the site officially public?
(8:42:22 PM) Bryan: I've not announced it.
(8:42:34 PM) David: I suppose.
(8:42:39 PM) David: But I'm guessing your doing it soon right?.. ):


MMOTales was killed in mid-2007. VuTales was born February 14th 2008, and came into its own on October 25th.

I realized it too. Here

But seriously, if some (please don't do it Zappy) decides to post this on BasilMarket, will we get flooded by 4channers?

As a now-technically public website, it might have to deal with 4channers... And with this type of website, spamming is its greatest weak-point.
We need to prepare for this.

If you're going to make a website public, you're eventually going to have to deal with the... public.

Well, this definitely isn't MMOTales anymore. Not that I really cared. My only problem with the new look is that the background causes Firefox to lag when I scroll.

Vusys, you have nothing to be sorry about. Its cuz of you we are even able to regroup.
I think we have to accept that MMOT is gone, and VuT is just something different. Be it a good or bad change.

Oh, and I'm using the latest version of Firefox. But it still lags. It doesn't lag on Chrome, though.

Side question: How much does it cost to keep this site running? Because I don't see ads or any apparent source of revenue anywhere on this site.

Bah. I might have to make the site a little more friendly to browsers then. :x

And at the moment, $72/ year

I'm loving the new theme. But yeah, it does lag a bit.

I don't see a problem with making the site public anymore, the site needs it if anything it's so bland around here nowadays

the main problem is how to keep stupid people out

But i realize now that it's impossible to keep stupid people out

We just need to mod up, hope for the best, and make sure the site targets people who aren't dumb

I can see the community growing, and with it's growth getting all sorts of features and shit

being badass and stuff

but if that happens can we get an invite only forum? Not to recreate the social hierarchy MMOTales had (my biggest problem with the old site) But just to keep one place where we can go so that the soul of MMOTales/VuTales survives

and new members who arent stupid can be invited so that the soul of MMOTales doesnt die out

thats a suggestion though, they wouldnt really be necessary just nice to have

Maplestory was king. And there were lots of great fanfics, most of which are dead. And more game blogs.

My fanfic isn't dead. ;3

Vusys, there's no reason for you to feel sorry. I feel the same as Gujju on this. We should all feel extremely fortunate that you even did this to begin with to keep this community alive.

CUZ DID U EVR KNOOOO THAT UR MY HEEEEEROOOOO.

Alright, shutting my face now.
