But I agree, there are to many groups and not enough members.


Too many groups? Yes. Not enough members? Maybe. It depends on how you look at it. I really think that there are too many groups that have the same purpose, and are essentially the same group over and over, but are feuding because of either "home group" pride (I don't want to give up my group, they have to give up), or some petty differences (see Swift reference).

The groups wars are just stupid. Your fighting over the internet. a great man once said "Fighting over the internet is like the paralympics. Even if you win, your still retarded (No offences to paralympians).

1) "Stupid" doesn't begin to describe the group wars. Petty, obnoxious, infantile, and many other adjectives.

2) That quote isn't my favorite...mostly since I don't agree with it. I view something like that as an attempt at wit and wisdom. Note the word "attempt." (Just something I felt the need to go over.)

I agree with justafan. We just don't have enough seventh column themes or "toys". I was active in the old seveth column because there was ...um more to do. Lots of cool pre-made databases (music review, movie review, q&a...) and good custom database tools. Now all we have is a forum, one or two themes worth using and news. I believe the majority of active users on the seventh column are idiots because the mature members are bored with seventh column. Every chapter looks the same! I miss the custom sidebar hehe.

Also there were lame "civil" wars in the old seventh column too. (ex: alliance vs anti-alliance). I think the best way to deal with these losers is to let them play in their chapters BUT ban them immediately if they bring their -blam!- to the main site. (even if it is just a sig)

Anyway, hopefully we see a seventh column upgrade before halo 3 comes out!


I agree with Stosh, I wasn't a member of the Old Column...but I am just getting bored here because there is nothing to do. Even my Chapters are fading away, sad to say. I think there needs to be more to do...

And banning people for a signature that is provocative is reasonable...but I think an honest quote can't do any harm. But I am not in your position, so I don't really have much say so. But I agree...

By not enough members, I mean that there isn't enoguh members in these groups to make them worth while to join, and then that group, and the other smaller groups like it start fighting.

I think the fights are not related to the member numbers. I believe the fights are related simply to a sense of territory...like gangs almost. Each group seeks the same thing (in this case, to be the only group like it), but rather than join forces with the other groups, they fight so that they can win, and be the dominant group.

Now if these guys would just learn about the Nash Equilibrium...

With members comes territory though.

The more you have the mroe well known you become making it easier for you to takeover your "Section".

As you said "Much like Gangs".

Gangs are 1 member, but when gangs get up to 200 members, they start getting mroe territory, even more at 300, 400, 500...

Putting enemies in the giant slingshot and firing it is both fun and part of world domination.
