*hug SJ (in a non-suggestive manner, mid you) and cries on his shoulder*

This is sad... I KNOW it was a pit if pure retardation, a pool of liquid idiocy, a wrenched hive if scum and villainity... but it was my only source of those things, it brought something NEW into my existence, even if it was just a new kind of horror. I'll miss it.  :'(

It will be okay Armok, there's always a chance it re-opens in a slightly more sane state. If not I'm pretty sure we got enough good and bad memorys.

Since you guys crowned me Baron of what is now a pariah state, I guess I should say something.

I don't have much; except about five or eight or so of you brought this on yourselves.  The whole yuri thing was the crux of it, not just because it did indeed break forum rules, but because it underlined your problem.

Just because you said or posted something in ironic jest does not automatically make it acceptable.

Basically, a few of you ran around not just being idiots, but insisting you had a right to be idiots at other people's annoyance.  That's the line.

Anyway, I'm confident Toady won't take harsh action on anything or anyone.  I doubt he'll have to - I'd like to think that finally being told to be quiet by the one guy everyone unconditionally respects will be all that's needed.

And you wonder why VN was shut down.

Actually, we don't. Toady told us.

Better stop now, you're coming dangerously close to another inane quote pyramid.

Let's have an embargo on those too.

who else has a strong tingle that Kagus e-mailed toady, complaining about the same issues as he did before, seing that no one on the actual board agreed with him ?

happy now kagus, just because you were bored you managed to ruin the fun of plenty

learn how to ignore things that displease you, for christs sake

Akroma, just because you have a gut feeling doesn't allow you the right to tell him off. He did the right thing closing his thread.

I also think we should stop inane quote pyramids.

Akroma there were several incidents leading towards this.

Kagus is not to blame.

Nothing to do with Kagus.  I get moderation reports from all sorts of people, including regular VN posters.  I don't even recall if Kagus ever sent me one.  I've been thinking about this for a while, as it has been burning my time for a while.

There are no further actions slated.  The woose thing was a previous event.  The last thing I did was a yuri thread delete, but that wasn't all that crucial either.  Just doesn't seem like I should be moderating a sludge board instead of working on the game, and once you're to the point of considering appointing moderators just to handle a sludge board, something has gone wrong, and the root cause should be addressed.  Some of the hostility and intentional stupidity was also spreading to other areas, and the metastases would continue if what was becoming a tumor remained in place.

We thought some of the VN threads, even recently, were amusing or interesting, but looking at the majority of the front page VN threads and where they are at now, and having wasted a bunch of time talking about it without coming up with a better idea, we decided to lock the board.  There were certainly a few people exacerbating it this time around, but as a moderation question, it's kind of annoying, since there's no structure guiding VN, and if I put one in place, what would it be, and how would I enforce it without having to split hairs about what's detrimental and what's not?

Holy crap, VN was preventing Toady from working on DF.

Everything I did there was detrimental, not just useless as I previously thought. God damn. I feel so stupid right now, Jesus.  :-[
