Whipping out your penis in General Discussion? That's bold.

It was void material before I did a thing.

[Picklock]

and I'm still waiting...

It's not void food, it's actually a decent topic, one which staff were discussing just a few weeks ago.

The thing is we have deliberately stamped out a lot of "filler" posts (eg. "bumps" and "thanks" and "welcome") which make some forums appear VERY active but which don't really add value per se. Ditto for shunting a lot of the "forum games" into the Void out of sight. "Count to 1000", "your favourite shade of purple?" type fluff.

It's a trade off though, because people like to see activity.

Have we gone too far? Has our attempt to pare things back to more "quality" posts cut our activity so far that we've killed ourselves?

It's a worthy topic for discussion (and, with delicious irony, I'll ban the next halfwit who posts voidcrap in this non-void thread.).

[joew771]

lol. The OP complains that the forum isn't lively enough and the few, admittedly pathetic, attempts to make it lively are criticized and threatened with a ban. I think the OP is right. Liven this bitch up!

[tuffgong]

I don't think you've gone too far. I remember, at length, posts with Hero about the Holocaust. Adapa's tutorials and Murlock's insanity (or brilliance?) I fear we too often dip right into the Void these days....

[Picklock]

nope
Voidbait is voidbait no matter we see it
while Holocaust+Adapa tuts sometimes with his raging drunk+Murlok Lord posts with malfunctions keyboard is still a topics

we lack activities since what to discussed is quite limited these days and honestly kind of boring
unless somehow there's some Articles snip from Mike about Snowden Leaks that regarding NSA, spying, WMD, piracy, Boobs shaped Missiles etc
