I think we need an intellegent mod, one who can give a non-biased opinion on these matters. One that hasn't oly seen the bad that Norse has sad, but also saw his brilliance.

Answer: This forum sucks cause there's too many spam threads by Norse and there's too many spam threads about Norse.

Why is there no "Because you touch yourself at night"-option?

But seriously:

Why doesn't Stopper post anymore? It's probably because good posters have gone. Norse - love him or hate him, he made this a more interesting place.

We need to resurrect this place with a series of interesting and thought-provoking threads that stimulate good debate while giving the nutters enough rope to hang themselves with.

No pokemon.
To be honest, I think it went down the pan a long time ago. The place just doesn't feel like a community anymore.

Perhaps a good old fashioned circle jerk would put things right?

What a forum always needs is clever and funny threads, usually fads that come in for short times are fun, etc., what you can't ever do, to keep people around a forum, is be predictable. You always want them checking the forums to see if something new was posted up, or if someone posted something funny in other threads >.>

Because, believe it or not, I'm taking this matter seriously, as I want to get to the bottom of this issue, and solve it as soon as possible, before my patience runs out.

got tonkaed · Post by **got tonkaed** » Wed Jan 23, 2008 3:48 pm

well in that case its because your waiting for someone else to come up with threads that interest you....

starting coming up with stuff you find interesting, and its quite possible people who think the same things are worth talking about will respond, and you will have saved whatever it was about the forum you wanted ot save.

Well, it doesn't seem to be happening, so I thought I might point it out

Politics are not usually the funniest and most engaging topics to discuss ^^

And Kaplowitz, is that sarcastic, or not? A few smilies won't hurt. Not like it makes it harder to read... Smilies show the emotions of a post, they are the expressions you can't see when you aren't face to face talking

the threads are only as good as the community, if the community reacts better to spam threads, then those are what need to be made.

The politics group of people on here stays fairly stable, even if the quality of threads is up or down from time to time.

If anything some of the spammish threads arent as big as some of them used to be (though this probably has somethign to do with user groups)

... I've just been too damned busy. I come here about once or twice a week now, but it was a daily thing for me a while back.

... What happened to Norse? He got banned for what?

... Never mind, I just saw it. Yeah.. that's more than a bit over the top.

... Too bad.

Heimdall · Post by **Heimdall** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 3:13 am

It didn't always suck, but now it sure seems that a lot of topics are getting locked for no apparent good reasons.

I can't figure out why the "Was Jesus Gay?" thread was locked.

http://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38939

If there's a post that's against the rules, wouldn't it make more sense for the mods to delete that post rather than lock the entire thread?

So i answered "Fascist Mods" to this poll question
