This forum is an absolute mess. The main problem is the large amount of topics which contain insults and bickering. Vortex Wars is a good game but this forum is really beginning to tarnish it. When new players discover Vortex Wars and then come across this forum there is the possibility that they will be put off the game by all of this fighting. Also, this game has purchasable features with real money so it should have some degree of professionalism.
A new forum should be created where posts can only be made which are linked to the content of the game itself; so no clans, no forum games, no blacklist, no reporting users etc. In-game there should be a link to this new *official* Vortex Wars forum and a secondary link to the current *unofficial* forum.
The only online forums that I've seen actually work are those which are heavily moderated and which have strict rules with regards to posting. So there should be several active mods keeping on top of the forum but most likely there will be a lot less posts for them to deal with.
Let these people who want to fight and talk crap to each other day after day have this forum. For people who want to discuss the game in a streamlined and neat n tidy way, let's make a new forum.

I vote no, and no again, and anything else you care to imagine me doing to express my opinion of no.
This forum is not a mess to much of any extent. In fact, the community and average behavior are far superior to most others. It is only a few people (currently Lancestar, and Tonyy4 and MODERATOR before him) who bring topics down now and then, and a majority of all topics stay upright and friendly. This forum allows for clans, which add to game experience. We have games for relief from the troubles you described. And why the hell would you erase the report users? The ONLY solution we might even need is additional moderation, by a bit.
Your arguement for this is completely illogical. Very few people will actualy quit playing because of the forums. The forums are usually fun; they only add to the game. Why would they quit if the dislike the forum? It's a game-based forum, not a forum-based game.
And the beauty of this is: your forum would be pointless and dull, about what the bug reports section is, but you can still talk about your games or whatever you think you can't talk about here, just by making your own thread. If the forums were as you seem to imply would be best, you would be very, very alone.

It wouldn't be meant for people like you. It would be meant for people who just want to check the forum from time to time and see if there are new updates or new ideas going around or problems with the game etc. without having to wade through lots of topics/pages of general rubbish and arguing. If a new forum was made you wouldn't have to go there and this forum would stay exactly as it is.

Those 2 quotes were not referring to each other.
Also me saying Royallbe was objective was to state not really an argument.
