Even though we have had a tonn of new mods I think these forums have hit a bit of a slump lately. There's lots of spam, and alot of spammers (some of whom are doing some pretty nasty stuff) and even the regular memebers have stared swearing - properly (not like f***ing or something like that) I've even caught Rich saying 'pisses' << used to illistrate my point I'm not a hyupercrit.

What happened to the good old days where this was a family place where we all hated raven and cowerd from the mods?

That's my two cents, and I know it doesn't apply to everyone, it is just my fear that soon I - and you - won't have a decent forum but just alot of '1337 h4x0r5' making Halo 5 with Doom 10 effects as a MMORPG who have pretty dirty mouths.

It's called RGT, which is now dead
(LLRGT isn't RGT... different atmosphere imo)

This place was very nice, and not so much anti-well lets face it this place has gone to hell in a basket really.

I think the forums are doing quite fine personally. If you can pinpoint a specific problem, I'm sure we'll be able to think of something.

I was a little offended when you'd say something like...

Quote: " and even the regular memebers have stared swearing - properly (not like f***ing or something like that) I've even caught Rich saying 'pisses' << used to illistrate my point I'm not a hyupercrit."


and your location to have something like...


Keep in mind, this is a board consisting of many people from different countries, so certain words have different effects.

I'm not trying to single you out. Feel free to contact me though, if you ever have any problems.

I still hate Raven, but I'm not afraid of the mods, never have been.

Except lately the new ones have been trying to "pat me down" as I enter. And that is scary.

That's very true MikeS, but I don't consider damn ot damnit to be a swearword and I was brought up in an irish catholic family so try to get much stricter than that. But you must adamit 'damnit' is far far different to some of the other stuff on the boards, which I must admit is being cleaned up.

all occurrences of "dammit" will now be replaced with "pants", just so youre all aware.

CLARIFICATION: If you are in the US you will see "Pants", everywhere else you will see "Trousers". Thank you.

I agree, but again the "d-word"(No I didn't mispell dword you silly people), is considered a bad word from how I've been brought up.

Ack, enough of that talk. As long as I can remember I've seen these posts for as long as I've been here. Nothing to worry about.

Yup I'm an aethist but that doesn't stop me from having a fairly strict upbringing, I can't exactly convince the rest of my family to drop the rules on me, what would my brother say!

I'd say there is very little chance of a spam invasion like we've been getting - there's all these shiny new buttons like 'Delete All Numpties Posts' which will put a stop to it - I mean we must be verging on 24 hour mod support these days.

We have mod powers burning a hole in our pockets, and Mouse isn't afraid to use them!.

I feel the need to say this...

Would you lot stop bragging about your new mod powers? I can take not becoming one, and loosing any vote we had by a landslide, and I can take you guys being happy about your new modship...

BUT SHUT THE F*CK UP ABOUT ALL YOUR NEW LITTLE GADGETS...

Cheers,
Preston

A bad word is a bad word, no matter what. If I see damnit as a bad word (and I do) I'll see damnit as a bad word. Same goes for pants and trousers, even though I don't. Think they're bad words, that is

But I don't see anything wrong with the fourms as they are right now. All of the new mods are doing great. With the current exception of the cow dude. I don't know why, but he just pulls my pants...

Sorry j/k

Didn't mean to insult you, CattleRustler, sorry



EDIT: Uh, Preston? That was a joke, right? Cuz I don't see anyone laughing... And you didn't seem to include a in there...

EDIT2: what main topic? All we've done is shoot the pants... sorry, breeze

Trust me, I wish it were more lively. Not a thing to do for me but separate an argument.

Preston,
Seeing as the title of this post is the degregation of this forum (at the top, see?), and it mentions us, I'm not sure who you expected to post here.

Preston-> No comment

In General-> I think the forums have been doing rather well for the past few weeks with the exception of bloodbubble spamming, and with all the new mods that's not likely to happen again.

Ok, mostly remove happy. You seem to like removing my posts tho . But, It's usually just some crap anyway, I'd only get mad if it were a particularly good flame, or WIP about my game.

@Darwin: Honestly, I don't have a bad mood about everything. I just have a bad mood about things that F*CKING PISS ME OFF! There are a few things on this forum that do that, but not many. You, and your post aren't one of them.

For the most part, I try to be cool headed...and I try to respect others, and not show my bad attitude if I have one. Problem is, I can't always hold it back like some bomb that wants to explode but can't. Not to mention it's not always the forum that pisses me off, I too have a life, and its not the best one. So I can't always be some lubby dubby teddy bear that all of you think everyone should be like. I'm human, it's impossible to do something like that without having major negative effects (which is what I'm trying to avoid).

You know...I think I'll take some time from the forums, it'll be for the best.

Cheers,
Preston

I'm a n00ber.
Since I've joined the forums have been pretty consistent. It had its slump form late summer to fall, then picks up again Christmas time (when everybody gets DB under the tree and all the regulars joke about the newbs) and early-mid summer when we're all excited about our time off.

This thread seems to have degraded into exactly the type of thing that the OP was originally worrying about ... so I guess it's time to finish things here before we slump any further.
