I just saw this.... They are not happy with us. To be honest we are a bit pathetic, we might as well close the forum and unplug our computers because we are driving new members out of here. Let us not be torn apart by our differences but be bound by them. That is all.

So let me get this straight just because a few people dislike the Flood means we are suppose to change our attitude right? Lol good one OP. Maybe if a mod/employee says so sure, but until that time it isn't going to happen. Sure I do agree that sometimes the Flood gets out of hand, but that is a rarity I haven't seen an actual flamewar go on in here in like forever. Instead I view that thread as more of a thread made by someone that either is disliked on The Flood or dislikes the Flood. Considering what group he is part of maybe a bit of both. Simply put people will always dislike members/the community here and how they/we post. Seeing as how it isn't as bad as it use to be here I don't think it is an issue worth mentioning.

Actually the Flood sucks.

A good thread is an exception, not the rule.

The same could be said about a lot of forums.

The Flood is a necessary part of B.net

All the jerks come here, and stay here. Nuke the flood, and suddenly the community forum would be full of meatspin shock links.

We're like little flood spores, and the Flood forum is our containment facility. Nuke it, and we migrate to the other forums and ruin the entire website.

I counted 5 good threads.

Obviously every thread I make is good, because at the very least, it is important to me.

Well regardless of him being a controlling neckbeard, he's got a point about Flood being nasty sometimes.

Like saying his view is invalidated by being a controlling neckbeard. Take what he says, not who he is.

Good is subjective. And 5 good threads is enough, surely. Too many cooks spoil the broth.

The problem about the new members is that a lot of them are either trolling alts or they are ignorant people. So it's kinda hard not to drive them away because of those two things.

The Flood hasn't changed. It's just expanded tremendously comparing to the past. More 12 year olds, that guy that believe he knows everything about everything, bad trolls, etc. The mod team had to step in an implement that rule because of this. The bigger the numbers, the more recognition for trash on this site.

I mean the moderator post the guy linked to as his main evidence.

Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.

This is just about you not liking the way you are treated outside of your castle, and nothing more.

dat ego
QFT.

Harlow you yourself have taken quite a lot of abuse over the years because of your larger-than-life online persona, you've undoubtedly spread hate against other users, and have both initiated and received your fair share of insults especially during the whole private group vs. private group saga. So it leaves me to wonder why the sudden interest in correcting this all now?

I would wager a lot of the issue stems from the general berating your girlfriend received for her rant on the mistreatment of girl gamers, and serves no more purpose to better the mains then to instead satisfy your own egotistical gratification you hold for both yourself and for Jay.

Where is all this hostility? All I see are a few idiots bickering back and forth in a topic, which isn't odd behavior for any forum. This place was never that bad in regards to flaming.

Good enough for what? I said that a good thread is an exception, not the rule.

And no, if the 1st page was full of good threads, we wouldn't even be having this one.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

The Flood has always been a cess pit. Nothing has changed. Anyone who can so easily be offended over the Internet should probably stay away from the Internet. They're either extremely sensitive or naive, neither of which is a good thing on the Internet.
