I think it's time for yet another rant.
However, this time, it's about the forums. Not the chatbox, not humanity, but the forums. As we have all noticed, yes, it's more active. HOWEVER it's more active due to spammers who don't really CARE about the forum or chatting AT ALL. Really, it's more dead than before. I mainly re-registered to clear things up with the Ben problem and shit, and to mess with him, but now it's mostly to bring back what was once a great forum.
All I've been doing lately is checking out new posts, making some of my own, trying to get the real members more active. I've been nonstop spam-clicking the 'Show new replies to your posts' link, and most of the time it's nothing. We complain about a dead forum, yet we ourselves don't post. We need to post, and be more active if this forum will ever be alive again.
Some of us actually want posts that aren't compromised of
KASHKASGDHAS
or
SONIC IS THE BEST LOLOLO9L BUT MARIO COULD KICK HIS ASS LOLOLOLL
Really, that's what you see now. Sure, there's the occasional educated person, but most of the new people... they just want games. They won't stay, they'll get their shit and leave. So, we, as a forum, need to actually work together to make it alive. I'll use my Tobiness, I don't know what that is but apparently it's something so yeah...
We need more Windle! Jkiddy! Draccy! Salas! Mikey! Johnny! Supa! Darky! Boom! We need more of EVERYONE.
So we ALL need to try.
We all also need more Fusion, Don't forget.
Ah, the 'Show new replies to your posts' link.. I love that lovely button. I click it thousands of times a day..
But of course I don't get rewarded as much anymore by clicking that button, that's why I moved to SH.net.
I make my fair share of posts when I can, but it's true that you can't run a forum on just a few people's posts. So yeah...

Exactly.
and whut dawt net now? o3o
I'm here whenever I can be. For some magical reason, people have been wanting to do stuff more. And I'm glad, cause I'm losing 3/4 friends come this summer/fall. Even my BF, cause they're all going away for college. (Fuck, I just started crying...I get really touchy when I realize I'm losing everyone in less than a year...) Of course, hopefully I'll be with my bf in a year or so again, cause he's going to the college I've been planning on going to since middle school, so hopefully I'll get accepted as well. But that's not the point here, activity is. Like I said, I get on whenever I can, even for just a little while.
Quite honestly, as much as I'd love to see everyone back. Something just shot me to the point where I don't really care anymore. :I
I swear to god, it's like a father yelling at his disobedient kid through a fucking glass window. >.>
In fact, I might just write a little letter to said person to tell (insert sex here) how I feel...brb...in about another hour...while the forum slowly dies because another member is taking his lunch break.

Oh that's really sad, sorry to hear that.
This forum is dead. Stop trying to squeeze life out of a dead horse. This forum was meant to die a long time ago. There is no reason for it to continue to exist.

This is what I meant about where's the older people??!?!?!?!?!??! I really miss 6 months ago. Like today; there was a huge part where people are like DUDE THE TAILSDOLL CURSE IS REAL. Eeryone wishes for those people to grow up at least. Also we have dumber. People nowadays think posting on the chat 50 tikes is ViP. They don't read the ruled and everyone gets pissed. I could see a reason, but we just don't really like them. Then;spammers. There are people trying to get posts by saying EVERY download is awesome or some who are plain assholes bumping every topic then leaving cause they have ViP. I know we could give them chances, but constant? VIP whores who disturb everyone.
(this wasn't directed at Wolfy, 196, Acorn, and a few other people because you are all awesome:3)
I'm on my phone so Ill try to speed through the replies I wanna make.
SH is SonicHentai
Dracci, that's kinda sad.... sorry to hear about it.
Seconded Windle.
tobi, i fully agree with you, but most of the time, its active here when everyone is awake, we live in that of a fantasy that we fear is not true, because we are far away from one another and wee do not have enough people from one country that is on before the UK, we slowly die in that of a pit of deadness, we try to do what we all could, but in the end, half of everyone we got into here became insane and started spamming the forums, resulting in ban, but only few that where brought here stayed and continued to bulid the forum.
Honestly, it's for this very reason that I'm fittin' to shake the spot, an action that, I'm sure, will be to the immense satisfaction and relief of my victi-...er, the immense sorrow and despair of my peers.
Really, for me, the forum died when the whole Roleplay section turned into,
"ROLEPLAY WHATEVER YOU WANT" topics only.
I mean seriously, if its "Roleplay whatever you want", then why are there 50000 of them, and not just one. How many times do you need to roleplay with a lack of storyline?

apparently loads, and ya know, i tend to get easily bored of roleplays with lack of plot (or when i use my own plots cause they suck)
as for the deadness of the forum, well tobi has a valid point herem the forum actually only consists of a few active members, and a fuck loada n00bs and whatnot, it's kinda depressing really...

You're just delaying the inevitable. If you want the forums to die on a sad whimper, then continue to lurk on this barren wasteland you call a forum and chat with these brain-dead zombies you call a community.

If it works for SSBB online, it will certainly work better here :P
And all these things

I meant the RP.
If that's what you meant, then I would've kept it going if we have more than one active member other than myself. D<

yeah but I kinda just gave up on RPing on this site. The n00b RPs left a bad taste in my mouth and I decided to move on >_<
I didn't mean to offend you, I know you (And a few others) can come up with actual GOOD storylines and serious RPs. I was mainly talking about the majority of RPers on this site.

You didn't, you know I'm hard to offend. xD
I was just stating a point. Even though most RPs here are absolute BS, there are a good few of us who have actually tried to set things right.

unfortuantly it ain enough =/ i mean, most of us just rp on msn or places like that now, where the n00bs can't ruin it

Also where you can't get in trouble for the content of the rp. -SHOTDEAD-
Plus on msn you can control who is allowed to join, it makes everything a lot easier and better in it's own way because you know who you're rping with and their skill levels.

yeah, dun we know it >.> *hides rp pr0nz* YOU SAW NOTHIN
plus the only downside is, when one person goes, it all goes. unless you save the chat or have it so msn saves chat history

That or you let the person know ahead of time to remember the reply if they have kickass memory when need-be xD

yeah... i guess it might be a bit more reliable than the chat history sometimes, it doesn't save unless you close the window before shutting down, i forgot to do that yesterday >.<
There really needs to be a 'private Roleplays' section (for VIP's?) or something. where only certain people can join a particular RP. And also, a discussion topic for each RP beforehand, to see who will take part.

it's called msn, most people, if not everyone has it these days

MSN is external, and there's no way other people can see them.

Even most ViP member's suck at RPs. And manually adding people you think are worthy would be a waste of time.

Whatever. I'm just making a suggestion.
I know declare this the "Complain about RPs" topic
Because a lack of good RPs is the source of the forum's inactivity.
OKay, gonna rant again since it was changed, time for childish rantage once more >:3
What's with most the new people and thinking they are all that with RP when most of them are fast-action noobs who haven't a clue what a forum rp is? I just wanna smack them through the internet .___.

I believe its the same reason why new guys believe a "Mario vs. Sonic" or a "What's your favourite ___" topic hasn't been made yet...
