how would i ask them.

You could directly tag @Chris being that they're conversing about the creation of suggestion threads. Otherwise see if you can raise someone who is higher than a moderator.


I'd say it's highly unlikely those threads have just been completely deleted, and that they're simply stashed off somewhere else so to make the forums more organized.

What they also don't want though too is compendiums of suggestions in one thread.


Another thing to maybe save your work, is google cache... Find the thread in your history, and then use google to search for its url to see if you can find a cached version to pull out the content. (Just as a random thought)

discord server is becoming very active, remember it is being used to make the map not to post random ideas so if you want to help make the map come on over, i will try and make a discord server for people to come over and post ideas but they need to be legit not just willy nilly ideas, remember to upvote this thread so others and wildcard will see this.

While you are looking at things, check out xmind. Mind mapping is a very good method of making flow diagrams and showing interactions with other points on the mindmap.

It may have been helpful to put the suggestion into actual words rather than just putting the title of the old thread on here.  Sure, those of us who participated in the old thread know what this is about, but anyone else won't.  I'll try to gather up what notes I have and anything else I can remember and put them into a new thread so new folks can actually see what the suggestion is.

Also, it doesn't pay to get mad and rage on the forums guys.  That's not a good way to get your voice heard.  Well, heard maybe, but I think people tend to ignore posts (and as a result, users) like that.  Keep it civil.  It's ok to be frustrated, but don't start calling names.  Reflects bad on you and on the rest of us trying to get this suggestion off the ground.  There's a lot of that in this thread already, which is why I would like to just start a new one for the topic.

EDIT:  Link for my new topic:

This is a thread...



"https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/418227-ideas-for-oceanic-map-related-to-new-dlc-suggestions-oceanic/" is the old URL... Google that and you can view the cached source.


Bear in mind what was said elsewhere about what the devs want too, they don't want a group of people making massive suggestions which are too much work for anyone to put together.

Like, sure you can put out all the dinos you want, mechanics you want and all the rest, but it makes it harder for someone to pick it up and go 'Yea, I can make that'... Making things takes a lot of effort, compared to brainstorming and putting out ideas.
