General Chat / If NE closed?

  • Dixi%s's Photo
    Well, with RCTHQ closed down ( :'( ), the only RCT site left is NE (RCT2.com just aint for me). What would happen if NE was closed, where would we all flock to? Where would we show our parks? Where would the big names go? Would any body quit the game?

    The question arised after a certain signature-quoted statement by the one bokti:

    thanks for banning Metal, irsi. now i have to see his moonshine drinking, pumpkin-fucking ass all over the Rush forums... thanks. no really, i mean it. i don't even know why you banned him, to be honest. it seems to me that you've lost all genuine care for New Element, only coming on to announce the new tri-monthly spotlight, and to announce the new shitty batch of runner-ups from n00b-a55 parkmakers. shut this bitch down. you were never as good as Danimator.


    It made me think, if iris was to close NE, what would become of the rest of the community? I for one would not revert to RCT2.com, its just not my cup of tea to be honest, nothing against the site though, its a good set up and all. Would another site appear? I think the community would be better off if a secondary site was around.

    What do you guys think? ???

    well id imagine that almost everyone would go to RCT2.com, including me...but to be honest, i think someone should just take over if iris was to quit...

    besides, i highly doubt the site would close. we just need more updates and news to keep us going...

    ;)

    If NE closed I'd quit. I got banned from RCT2.com anyway :lol:

    I'm sure many people would start new sites... and the NE community would split. Most of the sites would fail, leaving at most two to carry on where NE left off.

    I wish I had time to run a site, as I have the know-how and potential funding to do it. But I just don't have the time during school terms.

    I got banned from RCT2.com anyway :lol:

    Why?
  • The Iron Dragon%s's Photo
    Me.. I'd go to RCT2.com, Which already do, but i'd be on there more.

    ~TID :D

    I'd be a bit disappointed at the loss of Spotlight. But that would eb the extent of it. For RCT I'd probably just go to RCT2.com and maybe some other small sites if there are any I enjoy.
  • Ablaze%s's Photo
    Well I remeber being a Mod back at the station, all that time ago...When they closed I thought that was the end, NE was a side site for me until I realised the talent. This took over for the site I visited most then.

    If NE closed I would probably keep building parks for the fun and hope that another site was being built or had been built so the parks I would be building could be sent in.

    But....It's not gonna happen

    I would only hope someone would create a website to carry the spotlight and legacy that is New Element. I wouldn't resort to RCT2.com ever. I just dislike it all around the board. I mean, yeah. Gross.

    At a last resort, I'd start my own damn website... okay, well, I'd need help, but you get the point. I really enjoy the game right now, and it'd be a shame to lose such a great website. But iris wouldn't do something like that without any type of warning ala RCT Station, I hope. Damnit voodoo, don't give him any ideas. ;)

    cry, j/k
    it would'nt matter, i'd atleast still be able to talk to some of you guys via instant messanger.

    still gotta give em credit for keepin this site up.

    I second that...

    I would go back to Fluxd and spread my knowledge like butter on toast.

    Iris can't keep this site up forever you know. He is only human and he has a life too. I don't think this site will be around in another few years. It costs money, and he is paying for it with his own money for everyone.

    ...I would get a job, make money, spend it all on a flight to Miami, hope iris' real last name is something like irsari (sp?), phone 411, tell them to get his address, get taxi, take it over there, and tourture him until he 'agrees' to open NE back up again. Of course, this is all fantasy, but I'd be very close to doing that.

    thats pathetic

    but alas, i guess someone of your mental capactiy and torturous childhood can only explain ones feelings in mixed up medaphores.

    anyways, no mean stuff meant nate!

    i dont think that it would affect me if ne closed, i have made alot of friends here and i know most of the VIA aim.

    so yeah, this thread is pointless.

    >adix close.

    get mad

    What else can you do but move on? RCT isn't life, there are other ways to entertain yourself. No pun intended.

    I like NE. Its a place where I can come and basically say anything I want and not get punished and while I'm at it I can see a whole bunch of great RCT talent. Its a double whammy for me. But if it closed...I'd just move on.
  • Adix%s's Photo
    There'll always be a main fansite for this section of the community as long as this section of the community exists... I mean, we're the descendants of the Dani crew... and more likely than not, I'll work on all those sites, until RCT dies...

    Sigh....I guess nobody here knows places like Thrillnetwork and RCTHub exist. I'm a member of both. 8@

    I'll jump off that bridge when I get to it.
