Quiet

[Prpl_Mage]

I blame the lack of awesome comics.
This forum needs more Drace pie!

Nah, I donno. It might have something to do with the fact that everyone is busy with life... I mean, we made the new avatar wars thread but noone have made an animation yet.
Some RPs died once a certain member got a life, barely any of us makes games these days or sprite for that matter so...

But get to work lads, we can turn this place into more awesomeness again!

I'm actually number 5 in topic starters? That's quite nice 'ya. =P

Thing is after the Great Crisis of 2008, we're all afraid to make silly topics like "What's your favorite color?" or "Is it color or colour?" because we're afraid of people going "THAT'S SPAM!" on us.

Please explain the "Great Crisis of 2008" in further details. I must have still been absent at the time.

There was a problem with spam (although some members said there wasn't) where nearly all thread became spam after some time. So some members complained about it (including me, yeah) and said the problem was the lack of Mod activity, so we (some of us) opted for new Mods and stricter Mods. So that's when Dragonium and Bluhman became Mods. I wanted to find the threads and link them, but I kept receiving this:

I started to loose patience, so I decided just to post about it. But you can look for them. I think the threads titles are:
"Number of post for..." well I forgot the rest, but that's where it all started. And..:
"We need more mods staf" that's the main discussion.

And just a little note:
For me, the spam problem was that almost every threads lost seriousness and became nothing but spam... I never had a problem with the subject of the threads, even if it was about "What's your favorite color?".

 In short: **** happened, only this time it wasn't Raffles.

Quiet, eh? It's true. It got like this once before but I had starscape back then...

The trouble is that when people get older they have less time. Like me. I can only pop in here nowadays... I don't really have huge amounts of time to invest. If you make a thread, chances are I'll read it and post, though.

As for the comic... Jeez. I've been getting an itch to make a comic again. I need a program or something and I could definately start up EpicA again on my free days.

Short and simple. You can learn from that Cerebus. =P

Anyhoe, I don't really know how to make a spam thread. Probably because I do not like wasting time. Like the goblins in World of Warcraft say: "Time is money my friend."

Well you could always make a thread while you're drunk. The result will probably be spam.

Nah, but seriously, as long as your thread has a certain subject, it can't really be spam... what I consider spam is posting useless messages, such as one word post, or talking about something completely irrelevant. Even if the thread go off-topic, but is still relevant at some point, there's no problem.

And I always agreed with that Goblin quote. However, I must correct you. It's actually "Time is money, friend." There is no "my".
Yeah...

[Prpl_Mage]

Hm that was grandy actually.

MS Paint. All you will ever need.

Stealing my quotes eh Lucas?

On a second note, spamm is just when two pages are filled with messages about vaginas or penises(As in: when the thread wasn't made for that purpose)

Shit.

[Almeidaboo]

I loved troll wars! I wish the trolls came back. As well as Raffles.

[Archem]

That would make for an interesting week.

[drenrin2120]

I really wish we had raffles again for a long time, like one month or so. I wasnt here when he first joined =x

Or. He could pretend to be another member. Maybe even a mod. It would be awesome if he managed to guess the pass of some mod.

-_-

raffles made things interesting, I guess... But he was still pretty annoying. I just find your logic is flawed, good sir.

[Drace]

Yeah...

It's been long since I last played World of Warcraft. And I am actually glad I got out of that.

Also, I still remember Raffles talking me on MSN a year back about his new plan to take over Charas. Guess he never pulled through.
