    New management!

    Welcome, MagicFind. Hope you love us.

    Do you plan any major changes to MMO-C?

    If i could give an advice.. close the off topic or at least the political part. The former team was not really able to moderate that.

    If they do, then the last reason for me to stay here will be gone.

    You are getting something wrong here. MagicFind has to negotiate with the current people, even so, that is most likely not our basic moderators. Beautiful Chaud will still be around most likely.

    As well, why would they shut down one of their most active subforums?

    Because it's more of a hassle than it's worth. Chaud has said a couple times that they might just close it down

    no need to change anything. everything's worked fine for years.

    idk why people have to push stupid pointless changes for no other reason than to change.

    But that's not true.

    It's being moderated by unpaid staff and it brings a lot of traffic to the site.

    Now if they want to change what MMO-C is all about and clean up the public image or something like that, then yeah, closing it down may be a good idea.

    But currently it's just printing money without any costs.

    Worth?

    There's like one, one or two paid on MMO-champion? (Can't recall if MMO-C has a 2nd admin)

    From my experience typically anytime major changes or decisions are made with a business it typically takes anywhere from 9 - 18 Months before it makes its way to the little people. So my guess is any major changes we would have seen by now anything else people probably haven’t noticed already has been happening.

    Sorry, I seem to have misread the last post and took to the value of the whole site, and not just the Off-Topic section.

    On the slim chance that someone qualified to make such changes reads this thread, not everyone wants Gen-OT to go away. I'm a regular and I'm not alone at it. Granted, it could be made better.

    And the guys not liking it can always just, like, not go there.

    I frankly admit that if Off-Topic and Politics gets the axe then I would have far less reasons to visit.
    While "Classic" World of Warcraft" is interesting to me, I don't currently play WoW at all anymore. (quit back on Sept 2016).

    Can't wait for the politics subsection to go away.
    "Welcome to mmochampion, here we discuss the following: America, America, Trump, America, vegans, left, right, right, left, America, and lastly, we thoroughly discuss the political situation of America".

    same here. i almost never post in the wow forums. i find them more toxic than the off topic political forums.
    also what is this about magicfind?
    i suggest we remove the wow forums. i find them to be toxic and harmful to the health of this forum.

    Nothing prevents the site from developing in other topics, like maybe one actually dedicated to MMOs lol.
    If people really come on a gaming fansite just to comment on political stuff, there's a problem. I for sure didn't sign up for this, and while I am fine with either outcome, I won't deny my preferences.

    "Welcome to mmochampion, here you are FORCED to look at offtopic's politics section because you totes cannot remove it using the filters on the front page"

    People who don't like off-topic, why don't you just not go there?

    I don't like watching shitty reality shows on tv, know what I do? I change the channel.
