Seriously. The "Mods" of this board are on but never feel like keeping the league active. I mean it. We seriously need to get active. For those who are on, please keep the NBL alive. If you disagree, then it's your problem. Only and I mean ONLY 2 people are active. Those who are Espeon and me. Why did the NBL reopen again? It's going to repeat its inactivness and the MODs don't care about it.

Yeah we really do need some more activity, I'd like to battle but when I'm on no one else is. :[

Mods get active again!

I say that they should be on a little more. I'm never able to battle either. >_<

You're never able to battle?

You've been gone for months, no wonder.

Yeh but I mean on NB. If you mean the mods holding up the server, I didn't see it up.

OMGyourgrammarissobadIcouldbarelyreadit. :p

I'm only never on because I don't even know what NBL is; only NB.

If you mean what I think you mean, go to "Start Battle", click on "Advanced...", and where it says "Server (Name or IP address)", type nb.smogon.com and you will get some servers.

I could just lock this poll, because it annoys me and serves no real purpose. But heck, I'd much rather do some explaining.

So, you guys think the NBL is inactive? The mods are inactive? Sure, you're correct about this. Can't argue with that at all. But how do you suppose we could make this more active? Recruit new members from diferent forums all by ourselves? Try kicking in some new tourneys when the old one hasn't been finished?

Khold is busy with his new Pokemon Delta game and officially gave me the heads up of becoming the Main Mod of the NBL on AIM. As he said that, I realized that there's not really that much to mod here anyways. Almost all of the members are inactive, and that's something even us mods can't change. Yes, even with mod powers I can't force people into playing this, that's something the members have to do themselves.

Yes, the NBL is repeating its inactivity again, but the only reason for that is this forum. Our forum is not meant to be a competitive battling forum, like Smogon, where this would work like URPG works here.

Now, Rhauk's activity isn't a 100% one, not blaming him for that though; I understand that he has got laods of better things to do, so do I. I could kick something like Gym Leaders in here, but would that really boost the activity?

I need ideas from the members! Not just us mods, you guys can help too.

IMO the gym leaders idea would boost the activity.

Or maybe have one Pokemon or TM for auction once a week.

IMO Gym Leaders in NBl seems stupid because say i wanted:Fortree gym then we will end up seeing Dragonite 's and Aerodactyl's everywhere. Mostly OU mons will suddenly show up.:(

if u ask me, the server should hold some tourneys every week to get more people active. Well if you tell me, I can organize the tourneys....but unfortunately, I dont even know what the server is or what its ip is....:-/

Tell me that, and I can try to make this thing ALIVE.

That's exactly why I was planning to do the gyms in a non-Kanto/Johto/Hoenn style. So this would get us something different and new. But I'll have to work on the gym idea next week, if I have time for that.

With this amount of active people, how would you organize tournaments with even 8 members? A good idea, but we need to boost activity before we can boost our activity more with that.

As for the server, I don't know if anyone is holding up the server nowadays.

lol.

That only brings up the smogon server. Now that I think about it, what's PE2K's server IP?

The reason I'm inactive is because there's really nothing else to do. My team's already pretty kick ass, and I don't really enjoy typing the battle logs.

MystiKal
05-07-2006, 06:05 PM
Yeah, the battle logs keeps me from doing a lot.

Husnain
05-07-2006, 06:08 PM
Since I can't double post in the chat, I will say it here. Anyone wants to battle? NBL style :cool:

Hmm, you two brought up an interesting point.

I could remove the typing of battle logs, but that would eliminate the only way of checking if someone is cheating...

I try to get people more active by challenging people. I obviously lose a lot, but I have fun. And Husnain, Frostbit, and youglink are mainly the only people I battle. Because of this, I will say this is inactive. It's fun, yes, but not many people. And Husnain, I'll battle on Smogon. Meet you there.

These are all great points, but you mods could start helping by regularly checking the Starter Request thread...I've got my team, but it hasn't even been approved yet!!!:susp:

You guys told me not to keep it anymore.



I'm inactive because I have a lot of things that come before this, sorry. :sad: And nobody is ON when I'm free..... (2AM EDT)

I'd still be with the league, but I'm using my brother's computer. He wasn't very happy that I was downloading all this "Pokemon crap" onto it, so he made me get rid of it all. :confused:
