Monday Morning Rant
I think I am going to make Ranting a Monday morning type of thing. I know you say how can you schedule a rant Cerias? By definition isn't it something you do when you lose control and make broad general claims that are not backed up by any substantial evidence in the heat of the moment.
Pretty much sums it up. However I get the most comments when I speak from my ass. Sooo expect more of it. Basically I have to piss people off to get them to post. Whether they get pissed off and support my general directive or get pissed off and post in contradiction doesn't matter. All that matters is that you care enough about something to post.
You know what pisses me off? The Official Rogue Forums. I have a problem with the name Official. Why are they the official rogue forums? Honestly blizzard you should appoint community run forums as the official forums. Even if it's not RogueSpot... it would still be better then directing your newer players to the cesspool of topics that is the Rogue Forums.
The World of Warcraft Rogue Forums have not seen a moderator in months, maybe years. If I could liken it to getting a haircut the Rogue Forums have a mullet. Nerf this, Overpowered that, rick rolled lol! There, just summed up 90 percent of the posts for you. At the very least Blizzard could pay for some decent moderation... it's not like your short on cash. I bet there are a lot of people that would do it for free.
It seemed like they had the right idea by making those Most Valuable Posters that post in sickly light green. Then they dropped the ball. Did they continue to make new ones? Even at RogueSpot I recognize that people leave the game or get bored with trolling the forums or put time else where.
This is such a basic element of forum management I don't understand how they can not find adequate moderation for their forums 24/7 . Out of the Millions of people and the Billions of dollars there has to be a way!
Because of this lack of moderation good information is lost by the wayside. Posts that should be stickied for new Rogue's to read is lost because the post eventually hits a limit of replies and then falls below the pruning limit and is cut from the forums.
We don't prune at all at RogueSpot I am sure you could find the first post ever posted on these forums if you really wanted too. Posts that deserve it get stickied. Hell we have an entire 2 forums of stickied posts. Those stickies are automagically listed on the front page here to your left under SI: Library.
This thread by Mephz on Mutilate should have been stickied weeks ago.

It's still being bumped zealously but its halfway to oblivion. I am writing this post 5 days before its published... but I am pretty much guaranteeing that post will not have a sticky by then either.
Is it the off chance that your post might get seen by a blue. I can understand the attraction for people posting videos. You will get much bigger exposure. But for any reasonable discussion the wow forums just don't cut it. 2 Years ago the situation might have been different. Even I had my Advanced Rogue Guide 3.0 stickied in the Rogue forums for nearly 2 years as well of a bunch of other very useful resources.
In Summary. WoW Forums Suck... RogueSpot Rocks. Get over here!

May look like a rant, but it's the absolute truth. Official Forums is the offline Barrens chat.
Exactly the reason I came here. The Rogue forums were virtually worthless, and it's difficult...especially for a new player to sift apart the truth from the mindless drivel. And of course, whenever someone does make a point, someone just up and contradicts them, but makes no real attempt to do so intelligently.
Roguespot for the win.
I,ve not read the official rogue forums in over a year, not even for entertainment.
The "official" rogue forums are really just a place I go to goof off, at least it was until I found out about this place. I'd come here for information.
The official boards you'll usually just get BS responses, someone criticizing your gear or armory stats, or otherwise. It's not the greatest place on earth.
