Hantei/Toturi Camps

[Shosuro Aroru]

...Would it be possible to get a couple of hidden forums for each of the respective camps. I think it would be nice to have a place for people to discuss strategy. I realize that you'd have to rely on people's word when they say what camp they're in, but that's already true when they say what clan they're in. Besides, most of the active board members have been vocal at some point about which side they're on, so I'm sure someone would notice if a person was in the wrong camp. I realize that adding people separately to each forum would be a lot of work, but you've gotten more admins now and if people just sent you pm's to which one they want access too it should make for a slow but sure process.

I concur on this one! It would be really useful concerning the tactics as Aroru mentioned and I think that we as a playerbase can provide the information needed to help create this database.

I'd love to do that..but the fact of the matter is that the amount of work it would require would be astronomical. There is no way to define accounts except via their user group. Especially with the fact that there are different factions within each clan... There's just no way that's possible. There's no coding in the world that could support it on a forum thing. Sorry guys.

...You can't create two new user groups and add people to them individually?

First of all, what you're asking isn't possible. It's not possible because a person can only have ONE user group. It defines who they are, what their colors are, what they can see, where they can post. I can't make individual indications without making a user group for every, single person.

Second, even if it were possible, that's over 400 people that would need to be changed and most people don't declare their allegiance on their accounts, only in RP, so I would have to go through all 400+ people and individually ask them who they support, wait for PMs and then finally change them.

So, uh, short answer: No, that can't be done.

I have administrated and still mod some forums and I am sure that in both PHP BB2 and PHP BB3 is option to create open group (by open I mean you can send request to group admin which must be confirmed by him) which do not interfere with membership to other groups.

For example on nocarz.pl/forum/ we have several major factions which have own colours but also we have 18+ section where you can enter only if you belong to another group which has nothing to do with faction groups.

Toturi/Hantei sub-forums could work this way. Of course if Forum engine allows such method.

[Hida Setsuro]

Ah, I'm familiar with the PHP Coding, but the PB coding does not work the same way. There is no way to create open user groups. One of the things I wish Proboards would include in their forum engine, but it's been suggested many times. One can only hope they'll add it soon.

I am sorry that I can't do that guys. It would be a great idea otherwise.

...Anyone able and willing to make a board for the Hantei camp?

[Shosuro Aroru]

... hanteisupporters.freeforums.org/ is the hantei forum, please come and join us.

[Shosuro Aroru]

...Come to think of it, could we get a post about these camps in the news section, locked topic is fine, just want to make sure people who are active, but don't read the questions corner are aware of this.

[Bayushi Nemoshi]

Might I suggest that you also include what side each clan is effectively supporting so someone who joins the forums can get an idea of which way their clan wants them to go in?

[Shosuro Aroru]

...The camp forums are for people that want to support a specific side in a more cohesive manner, regardless of clan affiliation. I know in the Hantei forum we've got members from pretty much every major clan except the Crab. If people want to find out what side their clan chose, they should be able to do it easily enough in their clan's private forum, if not just by searching the news posts themselves.
