Do you think Users should be shut down/merged?

no so much posts counts but more like archives, but i guess that these fourms would be kept as an archive.

Merging the Forums sounds fun, but KEEP phpbb! It's the best!

I don't know what to do anymore, I want to keep the Forums like this.

Really, why bother? It might be less active here, but some of us like it without people we don't know posting 20 times in one topic per day...

I really don't understand what you keep going on about... all I see you do is complain about people posting too much and go on a crusade against newbies....

Grow up. No matter what you do, there will always be newbies due to the simple fact that people have to start somewhere. And you don't have to read every post that's made... its pretty simple if you think about it.

Like I said, if you can move all your little personal reasons out of the way, maybe you will realize a merger of some sort is in the best interest of the site. And to be honest, I could care less if you "left".

Maybe I do that because I'd like to see this place go back to at least some semblance of what it used to be before we got morons coming in and crapping it up with their stupid questions, 2-year bumps, unprovoked flaming, horrible mutilation of the English language, and then posting their "ZOMG MY FURST MODD LOL!!!!11" topics which are just simple swaps done in HMT. I want to see this place go back to people learning to respect the rules and each other, post legibly, and actually put some effort into things before posting them.

Call me old-fashioned or elitist, I don't care. This site was better when there were only 3,000 members.

And the saying is "couldn't care less", by the way.

i don't like the idea. the files forum is cluttered and so much nonsense happens there. the quieter user forum is much nicer.

Excal · Post by **Excal** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:13 pm

Hmm.. this reminds me of another saying...

The Internet is serious business.

Like I said... you're making too big a deal out of something you simply cannot get rid of. You have to accept it already... the sooner you do, the better.

rossmum · Post by **rossmum** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:15 pm

It looks like we have little or no choice in the matter anyway, so why even bother with the poll?

Excal · Post by **Excal** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:20 pm

This would be the second time I've quoted myself in this topic...

Nothing is entirely for sure... but chances are, something is going to happen...

Ok.

I'm probably just being a bastard because I'm pissed off for various reasons, but I really think it's better as it is.

calm down.

Excal, you're the admin, do what you think is best. Honestly, I think a merge would work out, but apparently most people would rather have it left alone.

Rallos · Post by **Rallos** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:48 pm

No, the reason I don't want to merge is very simple.
I'll even draw a little diagram for you to understand.

Phosphorous · Post by **Phosphorous** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 6:49 pm

Then ban them, I dont see what the problem is.

Wow. That strangly looks like smallpox (I think they are tube shaped) or some other really bad disease, and the dots look like the cells that are about to be infected and die.

You win the interwebs. That's exactly what it's like.

I agree with Rallos. Oh, and banning a few hundred people, maybe even into the thousands... is time-consuming, to say the least. They register and start shitting all over the place faster than they can be banned.
