Do you fuckers know what you're doing? (Formerly: Continue ZeUs thread...)

[ZeUs!!]

All you kiddies that spend their days 'hanging out' in useless crap by declaring their love for each other and making the least funniest statements ever stated have become so numerous that you've managed to drive any geniune entertainment out of these forums. The only reason I still post on these forums is to filter out the naughty naughties; the amount of fucking drivel on these fourms has reached epidemic levels. Instead of genuinely humerous photoshop edits or sarcastic comebacks, these forums have been reduced to the most fucking pathetic threads about 'wub' emoticons and how you have substituted any remote chances of a real life with your e-lives and satisfied your deepest insecurities over your lack of a life-mate/sexuality by finding e-boyfriends and e-girlfriends. Jesus christ there's not even any debates left happening. You've managed to successfully drive almost all of the unique characters from these forums and replaced them with the same person who has unfortunately adopted the mindset of a slightly feminine 5 year-old (<3).

The following people have deserted these forums in disgust:
Jason
Facetious
Concreteschlyrd
Nickname
Bloodzombie
PaulOakenfold
Mayo Inc
(Annux or CoL don't count as they hit the self-destruct button using a black man's genetalia)
Wadi
Eeks
Louis Xv
Bilbo The Hobbit
Zloy
stupid-gerbil
THE PUSHER
Divine Rides
Tigerex

Those about to:
Jerome
Me
RICHARD CREAGER
pv=nrt
HoGo
Pearl Jam

I'm just letting you know that if it was down to me you'd all be fucking banned a long time ago. This is a fucking wake-up call ladies, use it

Continue ZeUs thread..

Well the server kinda messed up again or something. But continue the discussion, solutions or whatever right here if you want .

Summary: The forums are going to hell, alot of prominent, older members left the forums already because of it's decay. It's mainly the "new" kids using their emo stuff like <3 and always replying crap, even to threads wich do have a chance of becoming a interesting thread with a discussion behind it. And frankly people are sick off it and want some change if that even would be possible.

Some solutions offered:
- Remove the useless crap forum
- Mod's being more strict, deleting useless crap thread not just close them
- Warn people for useless crap
- Warn people for trash talking/ bashing.

And thats about what I remember.

[Suzie-Q.]

i love how zeus' "Best contemporary riff" thread was beaten (in number of replies and views) by a thread entitled "guys L@@K I INVETED A NEW SMILIE!!!". that really is pathetic.


Edit: both which i consider to be dead threads

[ZeUs!!]

Praise the Lord and GuruMeditation's cache, I've got a copy of that post saved but I'll wait until the server move is completed before I re-post it

[Mr. Peanuts]

- Remove the useless crap forum

That was what I posted this morning JUST before the server fucked up, but when people do post Useless Crap, first close it, then delete the next day so people don't start wondering where some of their posts disappeared to. May need to recruit more forum staff to keep this going well.

After all, there's no use for useless crap.

[Dim]

Bring back Guru.

[DOTSY]

i lost interest in this forum too, i used to be a daily visitor, but there is more useless crap and such junk on this forum, so i just ignore those sections

i have no sollutiuon to this, but i agree with gall, i hope there gets a change soon

[PH]

- Warn people for trash talking/ bashing.

No. REAL trash talk is a healthy outlet for aggression. And it's too fucking rare nowadays. Go into the Trash Talk archives and see what real trash talk is. Do away with this pansy shit that people have been passing off as the real deal. If you don't know how to talk trash, go here to learn. Many thanks, Bioture, hopefully someone will read your words of wisdom and become better at talking shit.

In all seriousness, though, the Useless Crap forum HAS been treated as an invitation to be a complete fucking idiot. I always thought of it as a forum to post shit that doesn't go anywhere else. Kind of a last resort. But I guess others view it as the place to go when they want to get retarded. Perhaps "Useless Crap" is their place in society, so they flock there instinctively.

Wake the fuck up, kids, you're killing the forums.

[Galleleo]

Nowdays I really only check general discussion, trash talk (just sometimes something interesting is there) trench wars and I got directed towards this thread by suzie.

And I'll go somewhere else if I see a thread title that lures in the last posted column.

And in those subforums all I do is scan titles, scan the first post.. All in all, I think I visit like 5 or 6 threads atm.

[SpiderMage]

I pretty much only scan the TrenchWars and Staff sections, then move down to Gen. Discussion for any new art or interesting topics and go to Trash Talk and Useless Crap if 'm really bored or at work, which actually means I am really bored.

[Overburn]

in the past 7 months we have made more useless crap threads than the previous 2 years combined. somthing needs to be done about this.

[Stabwound]

While I agree that there is a lot of crap on this forum, no one forces you to read it. It all gets funneled to the Useless Crap forum sooner or later, and you don't have to go to that forum if you don't want to.

[Galleleo]

you are not seeing the bigger pic stab, because posting useless crap doesn't get punished and some mod will move it eventually, people are posint it everywhere, all over the forum, and in already existing threads too.

[Mr. Peanuts]

While I agree that there is a lot of crap on this forum, no one forces you to read it. It all gets funneled to the Useless Crap forum sooner or later, and you don't have to go to that forum if you don't want to.

But the whole close and delete method could deter individuals from posting the shit in the first place. because they know they won't win.

Or maybe not.
