Oh and on topic - please, just perma-ban snake. It'll save us a lot of drama.

The offtopic was taking off the hot topic because it used to be so popular. It's been pushed to the side so the gaming section could flourished. Trust me, Darth goes after $VG and he knows where it's at now. |
Absolutely false, I go after VG$, but to say the sole reason of me liking the gaming side of this site is VG$ is very short sighted of you, considering I post a lot.
when the off topic section was "popular", I never even made threads there, as off topic discussions bore me. Be it the vrigin thread or art Of Angels life chronicles......I couldn't really care less & never found those threads to be "epic"...I'd be on the site for weeks without bothering to even go into the off topic section.
The gaming section had the VG$ back then too, but most of all it had more interesting things, sales, console wars, hyping games, good community & so on.
I don't think the "off topic" section has been pushed anywhere, having it on the main topics was honestly a very inconvinient thing for me.

Whoo I'll remember not to vote for you if a mod must be selected.
@boutros
agreed
how the hell is this bannable?
Mostly because it's annoying and because I think the mods are here to help us. They can help snake by banning him, learning him the vitals of keeping promises.
Plus, I've been banned once I can't become a mod even if I wanted to.
Also, people have been banned for less. If anything, Snake is spamming.

95% of Off-Topic threads are spam threads.

$VG was not even there or such a big deal back then, and you didnt post as much either. You started to post alot, once the ioi started to give Others and America numbers and you wanted to be the first one to post it. that's fair.
But the offtopic was the reason I stayed in this site even when there were 80 to 100 online. It carried it before news, and many other improvements, but to toss it aside once things got better, that was weird.

@esmoreit
oh puh-lease
perma banning someone on an internet site isn't going to change them or "help" them in any way
also he made a couple threads back in the day that he was leaving this june.. He obviously didn't.
TOO MANY CHANCES.

| Esmoreit said: I started out in 07 right when the console wars heated up and I think that is were most of the nostalgia-laments are coming from. With Wii and PS3 out of the gate the forums were on fire and threads/flamewars were created left and right. This meant that the gaming and sales section filled up like Rosie O'Donnel in an all you can eat buffet with threads and members. New ones like me attracted by fighting, spurred on by the (comedic) older gents who knew their way around the forum and the flamewars. Likewise, the Off-topic section was more of a save heaven free from fighting where everyone could get merry. Some of the most epic threads were created at that time (the tossing salad thread still brings a smile to my face) and so the off topic section grew in popularity if not in topics created per hour but rather in chatter and getting to know one another apart from being a raging fanboy. Now that the console wars died down the forums have changed. It's more easy-going, with lesser new members going in and the vast majority of the old guard staying to discuss the details. This also has its effect on the off topic section. Not to say this place is dead. In the last year, if memory serves me right the demotivator thread was created, RCT's "Most attractive user" threads lasted 4 frigging rounds and in general had between 500 and a 1000 replies. Both the signing up thread and the contest itself. The mafia threads are now still spurring replies etc... it's still kicking only not as heavy as it used to be. But as long as the occasional gem is created ("Need gay dating advice!") we certainly will live... |
lol i agree tho off topic was the shit back in those times now it's a borefest
