So I would be happy to do the work to set this up but was not sure if that was kosher. Thoughts? If it is a go I was thinking I could just edit this thread and make it the list then convince a mod to stickyify it.
-
What's wrong with the current one?
-
It seems woefully out of date still so was thinking starting a new one might help ascertain who was active.
-
I keep meaning to do it (and have said I would for a while) but haven't had the time due to work and other crap.
I'm in the middle of an 8-day weekend right now, so I'll take a look after dinner tonight. Already have a partially-completed template based on the channel list lying about somewhere.
-
Thanks Morwen. I wasn't trying to complain or make more work for you but noticed it earlier and just thought it would be confusing for newer peeps looking for a corp. You can strip Shinjiketo off the list, the alliance is mothballed for now.

Done (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=5629.0).
-
:| Done? It's empty, and thus inferiour to the old one.
Why can't the old one just be updated? Seems like that would be easier to me.

Because a) nobody was posting in it to get added, and b) people had asked for a version similar to the new channel list for the very same reasons that the new channel list was made in the first place.
I have a life, as do the other moderators. I am not going to go through and generate new blurbs for each corp/alliance in the old list, nor am I going to go and check to see which ones are active and recruiting, or who's leadership now, or any of that shit. It is not my job or my responsibility to handle the recruitment ad details for corps I'm not a member in, let alone a recruiter. And that's assuming I even had the time (I generally don't).
If you're recruiting, post to the new thread. If you're not, or inactive, clearly you won't be posting to the new thread, which will make it far more accurate than (and thus superior to) the old one.
This way people can actually see which corps are recruiting right now instead of going through the old list, spotting an old one, going, "hey that looks interesting" only to find out the corp's been dead for more than a year or two because nobody posted to say so. This actually does happen, and it shouldn't - it's why a new thread was going to be made.

Your the best Morwen. Thanks again.

What was the reason nobody posted in the old one?
And unless something is done to prevent the scenario above, I see no reason why this will not happen in the new thread.

It may be empty, but a list with massively outdated information is worthless.
-
It's obvious that not every active RP entity is actively reading these boards and that not all of them have entitled players that can recruit here. So of course there is not a lot of RP entity manifesting themselves in this thread.
What could be done, however, is for people that KNOW that x or y RP corp or alliance is still active and playing, can give hints here, or I don't know, ask permission from those entities to post them here or bring their recruiters to post here ?
-
I'm pretty sure people signing up on this board to post things is why it exists. :lol:
-
So rename it the "List of RP Corps Not Yet Sufficiently Cheesed Off by Backstage to No Longer Present Themselves Here" and call it a day˜
