Hidalgo (Andrew/Doug/Whomever): Ever heard of the phrase "sticks and stones"?
Maart: I apologize for Thax's spamming on here. Both you and I know that's not a good way of promoting or advertising. It may seem you and I have our differences but I think you and I are a little more civil then the users we both carry.
I'm glad "Palace Planet" maintains a Guest Count always above 50. That's a good sign. But some ask why so many hits and members without much contribution from the outside world? One is that many sites to get registrants who just like to sign up to fun stuff and that's all they do. The second "is" people like Andrew Saturn, Doug Mehus, Russell Wood, and the list can go on. The children like to come on and ruin a good thing for everyone. And that is what tires people out. They don't want a part of it, so they don't do anything for that site because the behavior of the children.
So Maart, keep up the great work you do on "Palace Planet"! |

Yo Eric
Not sure who this Hidalgo is but as far as I can see he/she is from europe.
As for thax: oh well things happen it was a bit weird though, especially since I mailed him and suggested to use the site submit feature.
Anyway, as for people signing up for fun featured: I don't think its people signing up for fun stuff. The only extra functionality signing up gives you is the option to submit stuff. Like news, pictures for the gallery (out of order right no, did not have time to fix it yet) links, downloads, sign the guestbook and post in the forum.
Everything else is open for anyone to use and always has been. I hate sites that restrict users just to get them to sign up. As for annoying people, I never had any problems on the site in 4 years there has only been one post that got deleted because it was a personal attack. A bunch of comments where removed and thats about it as far as I can remember.
Personally I think its people come here for answers and most of them find the info they need and move on. Well so I hope anyway  But in a way itstill remains a mistery why so many people signed up, in the old days I had a big disclaimer telling anyone who wanted to sign up "You wil NOT get a reg code by signing up here". Never made a difference. My guess is also people who actually want to contribute either do it immediately or months later. Then they probly have forgotten theyr password and sign up again lol.
My motto was always: chatters are not forum posters, if they wanna talk about something thy do it in Palace.
Anyway, as for the differences, to be honest I can't remember. I know at the time we talked I was looking for someone to help out and in the future take over from me with the site. Everybody wanted to do theyr own thing and nobody cared.
Not much has changed in the sense that people prefer to fight then to contribute. For some reason having a succesfull site makes you some sort of authority that needs to be brought down. This french kid is a good example: a lot of big mouth talk but not a single link submission.
Anyway thanks for support.
p.s.
I'm sure I answered this post weeks ago, probly hit the wrong button and it was never submitted.... hah oh well. |

| Actually, what I meant about "fun" is that ppl like to see their name in the Memberslist. They like to register for fun. I help run a a SIMs website that is like a CMS but a little different. Offers lots, skins, objects, ect. for the Sims game and we have over 10,000 members. And we could only wish they all contributed somewhere or somehow... lol |
