Actually he is not that new, joined in Nov. 2002 (as consultant).

You should check more often the BI Studio People  

You can learn more about him at his website.

However, it seems like they have added quite some people for OFP2, esp. in the arts department.

These are the forums of Bohemia Interactive, so BI: Forums isn't that odd. It's more than just the original OFP:CWC discussions

Well, I've used it once before, and it didn't give me any problems .

[bn880 5]

I can't use it for some threads I started....

is it only specific forums maybe?

[m21man 0]

It worked for me in Squads & Fanpages .

[bn880 5]

Hmm, I looked at an Offtopic thread I started and no option. What the heck?

[m21man 0]

Did you look at the very bottom of the page (It's small and very low)?

Only immature people would come up with that and/or be bothered by it so no I don't see any need to change the name, if using a "BI" forum causes you to have issues and other such self questioning please seek out guidance from a trained professional or speak to a parent/teacher

About the VIP-voting, "Quirkiest forum member", that's for being funny right?

[Placebo 28]

Yeah funny, bizarre, interesting, fascinating, whatever spin you want to put on it, just whichever person's posts you look out for because they make you chuckle, or think or amused or roll your eyes or whatever, I just thought it would be nice to have a slightly different category on there rather than the usual staid ones

[Placebo 28]

I was asked a few questions in a PM and as I thought they were excellent questions and perhaps other people are wondering similar things I'll post them here along with my replies.........

Hi placebo, I am sure you have been asked this before, but I will ask anyway Why are you doing the voting in private?

Nope I haven't been asked but I'll answer anyways

I'm doing it in private for a couple of reasons, main ones are 1. Voting will not be influenced by anything other than personal opinion, ie you won't be voting for someone because you've just seen someone "influentual" vote for that same person, or because they're leading the race in the poll or whatever.  2. It's IMO more exciting (and traditional) to not know who the winners are until they are announced.

I think this is a pretty bad idea for the following reasons:

1. It will be a lot of work on your behalf adding up all the names and numbers.

Yup I know but I don't mind, it's really not that much of a big deal and the VIP awards are important, that's why we spent so much time arranging things so we were sure to do it right

2. People may claim it is fixed as no real evidence of voting exists.

I'll be keeping every PM received, more than happy to publish them if anyone requests I do so at the end of it all.

3. You will probably not get as many votes as you would if you.

If I what? I'll take it you mean create a list of nominees and let people choose from only that list in an easy public manner, perhaps true but those who spend a reasonable amount of time on the forums, care about the VIP awards, and have an opinion about the people around them are the type of people who will vote no matter the procedure and they're the ones the VIP awards are for

4. There will be alot of names for people to choose from.

Yup which I believe is much better than someone selecting only a small fraction of the forum as nominees, everyone has a right to vote for who they want to, whether they be a "big name" or not There should be a core group of people who stand out in the Opf forum, it's for each member to judge who stands out, nobody else, thus I believe it will speak volumes for each person that wins that they have won over 100's of other people

I think doing it by PM is a fantastic idea, I especially agree with your replies to points 3 and 4. It just makes sense.

What about spam votes. Eg. people nominating themselves in every category?

eek! Is there a way to retrieve my vote?

jk

[Placebo 28]

I will consider self votes in any category their way of saying they couldn't think of anyone to vote for in that category, ie it will be considered a null vote

The option to close your own thread is available but you have to go to the first page of your post to find it.
