The Apache Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 a trash talk forum anymore? i'm sick of seeing topics being closed for bullshit reasons. that's what is keeping this forum entertaining and somewhat active. if anything is classified as spam, what's the point in closing it? if it goes to a flame war, if it just runs its own course and goes off-topic, so what? just split/move the topic into the trash talk forum. of course, i take it in the desperate bid to attract players, you think getting rid of a trash talk forum will help attract new members and make them stay? this forum is too damn boring to even attract new members, let alone make them post more. it's the same old people posting, and it's going to stay that way for ages. just open up a trash talk forum, and watch the number of posts/topics grow. let this discussion forum (subspace/general discussion) be spam-free instead. moderators who love to close topics and act like you're high and mighty, you might just have a new job thanks to me. fuck the recession!

Samapico Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 You can go to 4chan if you want trash talk More posts =/= more worthy forum moving to feedback&support Quote
»Purge Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Agreed, adding a trash talk forum would not attract players to join a forum. Adding something new to the game, however, might... but that won't happen anytime soon. Quote
»Lynx Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 The only reason forums are dead is because there's nothing to talk about. I'd much rather do my trash talking with true idiots on facebook, it's much more entertaining. -Lynx Quote
PoLiX Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 Actually the fact that so many peoples posts could easily be turned into trash talk or spammed by people and split, or moved as a whole to trash talk chased them away. Most the time I just delete the 5 or 10 posts, and keep the thread on track as the posts normally have no use on this forum. More than enough times I link someone to a thread on SSForum, and they say "I don't go there anymore. Got tired of my threads getting trashed.", and I show them they don't anymore, and quite a few now visit regularly again. Or I atleast see their names in the "Who visited today". This same thread has been posted probably 6 or 7x, with the same reasons. I'm almost beginning to think you guys just copy and paste it with a few minor changes, as word for word, it almost always sounds the same. Anyways, if you want a forum to trash talk on, use your zones forum. That is what they're mostly there for anyways. Quote
Dav Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 It was also a case of 90% of the forum activity was just crap, people came here to trash talk which spilled over into the other forums. Those who hated the trash talk simply stopped visiting to avoid it. In short Trash talk = downward spiral into a flaming pit of hell Quote
