When Hype Mods realize the point of community, perhaps you'll be right, till then, keep up the good fight!

Of course, I stick by what I said Community is a cess-pool, and the ridiculous attempts at trying to turn a cess-pool into that beautiful and lovely community pool down the street would be and is futile, but have fun trying, kids![]()

Unfortunately, he's no Wilhelm.
Movies205 said:Don't act like you know me because you've manage to have some repartee with me in the past couple of days, so you want to make your mark, or whatever it is, you kids like to do on these boards to make yourselves feel special and to gain an identity of some sort, here's a tip, first off you do it where people will actually see it and two you got be a little more pungent than that. Because quite frankly again you don't know me, and if you seen my posts, you'd know, I'm a sarcastic prick 99% of the time so buzz off.
JLBats said:WTF are you talking about?
Make my mark? On a message board?
Listen, Movies, I have 16000 posts. If I haven't made my "mark" by now I'm not going to try to make it by going to technical support and poking fun at you
I just think calling Community a "cesspool" is sort of self important. Community serves its purpose as much as any other forum on these boards. Seperating it into two forums, a junkyard one and a political one, only creates one forum that is a useless pile of spam and another one that is a seering political hatefest. It doesn't increase the actual quality of anything.
JLBats said:I like how he edited just to add the word "kid" to the end of his post. Seems kind of pointless.
Movies205 said:First off... This is an internet message board it's not like it matters if there's quality, make 3 different forums:
Community
Political
Junkyard
Now what does this do, it makes everyone happy. Because one, you have the spam-happy kids posting in the junkyard and it doesn't hurt anyone, and it can be periodically deleted once a week. The political threads are now no longer invaded or driven off topic by ******s(such as myself) and can have some serious discussion and not be over-ridden by spam threads. And the emo-kids cna have community all to themselves, tell me how does this not produce quality and give everyone what they want?
Movies205 said:It sounded more poignant to me, kind of like a cliché line from a movie...
JLBats said:So you're basically suggesting the junkyard primarily as some sort of forum for games and lists threads? That leaves Community with very little to it.
I'm not saying seperating the forums is necessarily a bad idea. I'm just saying it won't actually change the quality of the threads and posts being made within them. It's a band-aid on a message board desperately in need of stitches.
Movies205 said:Edit: Also it is a cess-pool now because you have the spam threads over-riding real threads, you have political threads becoming flame wars because of the spam-heads and emo kids, and the emo-kids getting owned by the pundits!
JLBats said:Seperating them into different forums isn't going to stop the trolls from coming in and derailing threads. Political threads tend to become flame wars regardless of spammers. That Israel attacks Lebanon thread has very little spam in it, but it's still full of people flaming each other. The only real emo kid who tries to debate politics on here is kainedamo.
Movies205 said:The flame wars as long as they have good points being made so be it, these are issues people are passionate about, if they break out into insults then delete the posts and let them start again, heated debates aren't bad things.
JLBats said:I'm not saying they are. What I'm saying is, the political threads only get derailed when it is a particularly stupid poster starting the thread. Usually they stay fairly on topic.
Elijya said:wow, movies, did you stop taking your medicine?
JLBats said:Well, my issue with it is that you say Community is currently a cesspool, but advocate removing all the useful threads from it... leaving just one huge swamp with nothing useful in it.
If more interesting non-political topics were being brought up in Community, I'd probably agree with you.
Elijya said:no, seriously dude, wtf is going on?
