The inactivity of this forum.
Thu Apr 02, 2015 11:06 pm by Burkman
It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...
I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.
I understand that people are busy these days, but it doesn't seem like they're rarely at their computer anymore. I know most of you are still dicking around with your computer. I don't know how we …
Happy New Year OT! We may be dying... BUT WE'RE STILL HERE! We had an... interesting year last year. Vice Admin Burkman is taking a long earned vacation and Uly is stepping into his position. Well... I'd have more to say but I've got other things to do atm... and oh yeah... to quote Callin... "GET A MIC YA BUM!"

Please tell me this is a joke.
So what do you propose? That we become Nazis and lock every other damn thread?
We have been doing our jobs, but we hardly ever run across anything over the top and extremely offensive to other people. There have been some drama threads, but they have been taken care of.
Thank you! This is what I have been saying.

When I usually revive my account, I'm hoping for a good fight.

You missed all the action. Don't worry though, if I'm around when Jet is then there is sure to be all guns blazing.

We always have had loose moderating. Mainly because all of us are friends. Plus the entire premise of the OT is loose. But how loose can it get?
To me, there's a line to be drawn. Although the OT is supposed to be a fun and simple place, it is not supposed to be some sort of madhouse (which I feel like it's been recently) and allowing everyone to run amok. There needs to be some actual moderation if you ask me, from our mods. Which we rarely actually see....Although I will give credit to some, most don't even use their mod powers for anything other than editing posts as a joke. :/
So...Am I all alone on this?
Ok, ok... So what happened? Who got your lollipop?

Maybe you should read the damned post.
I said clearly that I didn't want this place to become some kind of strict Nazi ran forum, all I wanted was a little order. Why can't I make a fucking suggestion without all of you jumping on me and clawing at me?

Because you're not making any sense. You say we need order in this forum, yet we do have order. We're doing all that we can. And yes, you are making it sound like we make it a strict Nazi forum.
Just face the facts. This place is not a madhouse, we are doing our jobs and there are some lines drawn. Recently, there hasn't been any type of chaos. I haven't seen any crazy outrageous attacks on people or blatant racism or anything, so your suggestion is void.

This.
I'd appreciate a list of some sort telling us what action we should be currently taking.

I agree with Vase and Buddy, without clear examples of what issues have happened that should not have, and what should be done to improve moderation, this is like me saying that we should stop world hunger. Okay, I said it, now how does that happen?

I will never again make a suggestion, because it seems that every time I do, noone cares, or it's the worst idea ever.
Anyways, you're telling me, we have no chat drama? We haven't had any forum drama either (Buddy's thread says hello), and other members haven't had their feelings hurt?

I'm not shooting down your idea, I agree that we've had those issues. But you can't just say, "Let's change the moderation." That would just mean you have no ideas what needs improving and leave Scott and I to figure it out. Since Scott and I think it's okay as is, then nothing would change. You need to give explanations as to WHAT should be done, WHAT rules need to be added, WHAT punishments are needed.

You do realize that garbage has been done and over with rather quickly, right? Besides, that thread was nothing compared to what we had in the past. And I never said that we never had any drama, bub. I'm not stupid.
And as Matieu said, your suggestion is too vaguely detailed.

Need I remind you of Wilbourn's horror movie thread drama? And the countless chat drama we see EVERY FUCKING DAY. Anyways, I'm PM'ing it to Mat now, so this is pretty much done.
