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.
