Well if according to Seven we shouldn't talk about food, sex or politics, what the hell can we talk about then, considering there are no RPG's to talk about? Endless threads about what we wish games in a dead genre would have? How fun.
According to me you're a dirty filthy pervert—but that’s just one man’s opinion.
I don’t see where I said no talk other than RPG talk, what I was suggesting was that off topic discussion—like hentai—used to be rare subjects, now they seem to be the rule.
BTW, like I said before, this is the RPG Codex not
post any kind of useless shit that you can think up codex—there’s a place for that and it’s called Something Awful.
Heh, what do you suggest? Force-starting threads about serious subjects? Or maybe closing unrelated threads? I would think that these serious RPG-threads would get started if there was adequate demand for them. Considering the state of RPGs today, I can see why people would find it increasingly difficult, coming up with the motivation to keep discussing game mechanics.
Hey, I agree with you and your sentiment, so what do YOU suggest? I think we both recognize that there is a problem so why not try and come up with a solution instead of just saying, well things suck so let’s just see what else we can talk about...
Now you know damn well that's not what we're supposed to be about. Taking your admin status away would be daft considering the number of news tems and other contributions you make to the site. All I'm saying is everything needs to be done in moderation. Willy-nilly banning people because "You said so" isn't the way the Codex works or has EVER worked. That's exactly the sort of stuff Rex did when he banned Role-Player because he thought he was posting crap.
I just noticed this and I agree. When Rex was around there was always a bit of tension and knowing that you had to cow-tow to him otherwise he'd be a spiteful bitch. That said, I don't think VD did what he did out of spite, I think it was out of frustration—I can’t say that I agree with him, but I do understand, and I am happy that he nuked the images before my virgin eyes were sullied yet again.
Quite a few actually. Mostly overwhelmed by Oblivion at the moment (IE: Buried in the Oblivion threads). I've been around various forums long enough to know things work in phases. You'll have the out of control tubgirl phase, then you have the "Serioz Discussionz" phase, then you have an Oblivion phase... and so on. The other thing to keep in mind is that we've discussed game mechanics to death on this forum. Most of the "regulars" have been around to participate in 5 or more such conversations. Starting new threads about it all again isn't exactly high on anyone's personal agenda. Again, it's just a phase the forum goes through.
Yeah, I get what you’re saying here, you can only debate something so many times before you just get worn down. After a while it’s frustrating to have the same argument over and over again.
That's why we created Retardo Land. I think Retardo Land is still the perfect place for "inappropriate" or just plain dumb threads to end up once they've run their course. I'm certainly not advocating tubgirl being allowed everywhere and every post getting chock full of NSFW images (or any other images for that matter). All I'm arguing is that it's handled on a case by case basis. Not with a blanket ban.
You know what, Retardoland is fine, but at a certain point when is too much enough? To be honest, I do get an occasional laugh out some of the dumbshit, but when it’s there all the time it gets tired fast. Fine, I’ll concede that banning might be a little heavy handed, but something has to be done—from what I can see there are tons of carrots around here but not one stick.
