The "502 Bad Gateway" message from Sunday is the exact thing Joey previously explained here. It's not a reason to worry until it lasts for much longer than a day, usually it can be fixed quickly.

Why the Game Masters didn't moderate the Video Game Sections? If they are not used to moderate the Video Games section, then why they are named as Game Masters?

[Julia Pseudo]

^
Game master is a generic term used to refer to people who run RP scenarios - Fan Fiction & Roleplaying and Mafia are the only two things that fit into that category at the moment.

[Radiance]

Oh, then who moderates the Video Games Section?

[bossedit8]

Oh, then who moderates the Video Games Section?

So far Admins and Mods are moderating everywhere on the forums so it includes Video Game Section.

[Radiance]

Then why they are called Game Masters if they're moderating the RP/FF forum? They should be renamed if that's the case. But if you disagree the idea, then so be it.

EDIT: Is Mafia a game?

[Cedur]

I'd like to have a few more stickies in Sandbox, e.g. for some informative threads like "What happened to this user", "Post a picture of yourself", "Your Avatar / Signature", and maybe also the timezone / locations thread.

Yeah, mafia is a forum game sort of thing (also an in-person party game) that has an RP element to it.

The Game Masters moderate FF/RP as well because of the second element - if RPs ever became a bigger thing here the GMs would probably run them.

[Radiance]

Oh, now I get it. Then, forget about what I said earlier.

Just because they're popular threads doesn't mean they need to be stickied. We might as well throw the Music thread and the election thread in that case.

[aero]

^ Agreed.

By the way, does anyone think it would be a good idea to increase the topics per page count? I was going over my thread about stickied topics pushing topics back some pages too quickly, and thought this could be helped more if more topics could fir on a page. It doesn't need to be a huge change, but maybe an increase between 5-10 would work imo.

[Emral]

Sounds like a good.

I hope you don't confuse "popular topic" with "topic that has 50 replies / a flower icon". These examples of topics are things that represent some typical attributes of this community, that's why I think they deserve a sticky to be marked as important or especially interesting.

And my point still stands.

There's no reason to have a ton of stickied topics as it just ends up looking messy. Did you see how the Help & Support forum used to look? Less stickies the better.

[PixelPest]

Stickies are reserved for important and informational topics in most situations. These topics aren't always as active as others, but they are needed to be kept in plain sight, not buried. Topics such as these include the Help and Support topics and rules topics. Popular topics fade out eventually, such as Unofficial Level Contest threads, many current-fad Sandbox (and sometimes fads specific to SMBX in General too). Their unique icons make them stand out enough for the duration of their relevance. As TNT said, too many Stickied topics would ruin their purpose

Spoiler: show

<FartsAlot> TNTtimelord you are a faggot ass bitch
<FartsAlot> eat shit and die

If there's any person around here that decided it would be a funny idea to proxy themselves and randomly insult me in the middle of #smbx accusing me of shittalking you, I'd like you to PM me. I don't know exactly who you are and I want to know exactly what caused this. If it's a mindless troll whatever.

TNT, you were doing exactly what they wanted you to do.

So people were asking about Discord servers before, and then I saw someone complaining about mediafire being commonly used here when it occured to me Discord supports file uploads. I made a Discord server to host levels, projects, episodes, and other content to hold discussions. Here's the link: https://discord.gg/UXSa2bD

The invite link will be in my signature as well. This could make sharing content a lot easier than relying on third parties to host stuff like images and DL links, and should be helpful to the site as a whole.
