I'll get straight on to looking for dtewi, crazzymann, gballzack, blue3, sienr, and pro-PS3 sienr (I forget his name, like, kwaaai, or something. :-S )
I do, however, miss that ArtOfAngels, and that video he made about VGChartz being controlled by lizard people. The modern community... not as creative. |
You must mean Kwaad, I think.
I miss not only ArtofAngels, but the video itself! First the music got censored; now I think the video disappeared entirely from YouTube. I might be wrong on that last part.
Welcome back, MontanaHatchet, and try not to be so sensitive about people not agreeing with your proposals 
I don't think a stringent signup protocol is the way to go, with people waiting who knows how long for someone to decide they're a real person before they can post, but maybe something like account deletion if you don't make ten posts in the first month or something. I'm sure there are countless dummy accounts by both trolls and spambots that could be eliminated. For legitimate but quiet users, this would be unfortunate but on the bright side would incite them to say hello to a few people and maybe get them started participating beyond that one thread they signed up to comment on.
As for getting old quality posters back: wait, noname2200 counts as an old hand now? But yeah, I don't think such a campaign is likely to accomplish much, but as long as people aren't obnoxious about it I don't think it can do any harm.
As for TheRealMafoo, I was there around the time he left. I don't recall anyone mentioning him being pressured by other posters/mods. Didn't he move to New Zealand and just never post after that?

He had huge problems with how things were moderated when he left. He made a thread complaining about it, and asking for a permaban, Dunno locked it and granted him his wish :'(
