I have some solutions

Have an age restriction

In the inbox have a bot send a message in the "welcome to the site" message with a guide on how to download maps

Have simple noob detection or little kids
Doesn't have proper grammar
Curses randomly
Doesn't have basic computer skills (copy,paste,cut)
Doesn't know how to extract

In the chat have actual helpers tell them how to download maps

Or just troll them until they leave.

Lovely idea but the problem isn't noobs, it's us. Yeah it annoying telling people how to do the most simple of things but if you fit the rank then it's your job. Part of being a Mod or Admin or etc is about helping others to make sure the site functions and due to our extreme nature of harassing noobs our site's members aren't going to want to stay with the idea that "All i get is butthurt on this site." People who aren't of any rank can also help themselves to helping others even when it seems rediculous. I agree we should have those restrictions and it would benefit us all but alas tis just a fantasy than can't really happen. NZP is mostly being downloaded and played by younger kids who can't play the real thing and aren't of higher education nd only a few of the people playing it are what we can consider "mature" and "not dumbasses."

Or you know, you could simply ignore them.

We're not restricting anything. An age restriction is a definite no. There are too many ways around it and age doesn't always equate to maturity level. Not to mention the fact that we'd be knowingly censoring a large portion of the NZP audience. A lot of little kids play this game, especially those who can't afford/don't know how to torrent/don't know how to use regular WaW zombies.

As for the Bot account that sends the welcome message to all new members, it does have a tutorial in it that explains how to obtain NZP maps from this site (lol at Sub who still thinks that it's my "goof off" account, it was actually made so that my inbox/sentbox wouldn't be filled up and instead I'd have an alt account do it). There is also a hyperlink on the homepage that quite literally says "Click here for help with downloading and using NZP maps". When you click on it, it leads you to a step by step youtube tutorial that I had personally made where I go through every step bit by bit. Add on the fact that we have a chatbox that you can also ask for help on, and there is no excuse aside from the fact that some people are new to the forum scene/internet.

This site currently has 5831 members, 7947 posts, and 1018 topics. We gain 9.87 users per day on average, so about 10. It's actually quite a big forum, and it grows at a rapid rate. Problem is, a small margin of the members actually contribute/post.

I've tried making this site more aesthetically pleasing (adding new smilies, new rank titles and icons, a customized points system, a reputation system, letting people use signatures, adding new sections, new forum/category icons, more usergroups, etc). I've also tried making a variety of tutorials that I've placed around the site in order to make things easier for newcomers.

However, nothing works. Reason being: You can't make people care, you really can't. Some people just want the maps, others want an NZP download, others are just watching and reading, etc. Which leads to a relatively dead site with a lot of inactive members. Every once in a while we will get a member that is actually legitimate and actually stays (we had loftail, RedDevil, Oraki, etc to name a few). Though, the majority vastly outweighs the minority.

This site is pretty dead, as is NZP. Soul knows this, as do most of us who are aware. I still come to moderate/make sure things are in check from time to time. And to post every once in a while when I feel like it.

Mabuse, Soul, and Myself have attempted on multiple occasions to make this site better/move to others hosts/improve. It was all for naught.

I do, however, like seeing enthusiasm from some of you who still enjoy the site and want it to improve. And to those people I say, good luck, and if you really want the site to improve you have to put in some type of positive effort and not just bitch about how it currently is.

The poeple who join just want to download maps. So this is just a database and a half empty apartment. This forum would be big again if 1.2 came out. But I have WaW so :P

Yes, "lol" at me.

I'm one of those people who do the helping out as Oraki says and he is too. If there's a backtalker or dumbass on the forum than lets give him crap.

I can't believe people who come to this site don't see that giant message that says
"You are not logged in or registered. You need to be logged in to download maps."

Instead they just click on "Do not display again"
