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:
(8:42:22 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.
Sorry

I realized it too.

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. 😡
And at the moment, $72/ year
I’m loving the new theme. But yeah, it does lag a bit.
Fast as lightning on Chrome <3
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
What was MMOtales like before it got shut down? What did people talk about? :O
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
then update
plz
Ok fine
PLEEEASSEEE -grovel-
This is a milestone. Let us all make this the most liked blog ever.
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.
lol
Anyway it was a little different and had a few more OMGRANDOM topics because everyone except 5 people thought OMGRANDOMNESS was funny
MMOTales also had Aliyah, and that made it awesome enough…until it became less awesome when it started to die and Aliyah left too
Sorry?
-rage-
We should be sorry, for demanding something that we all know died long ago. This site is more of a family then anything MMOT could have accomplished, and with the advent of going public, we have reason to expand that family.
I welcome strangers, it makes for a change of pace around here.
