Derailing should be a natural occurance, not just somebody suddenly changing a perfectly good topic: Case and point; Dwarf's post here http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=42870.msg800978#msg800978

At least I remarked by myself that it is indeed a terrible derail.
Luckily (for the topic), nobody further derailed the topic by quote-answering my post.

[Nilocy]

Yeah, i was only using it as an example to prove my point. No harm intended.

Yeah this topic is like minuate VN. I remember when the days when you could just go on there to get your post count up... fun times. Silly, but still fun.

[Rashilul]

to get your post count up

Dude, it's not an MMO, there's no reward for a high post count.

I think post counts are even not shown on first sight so people don't get into silly post writing/spamming madness.

The ever-screaming mouth of the grim lord Satan himself.

Hey Leaf, you can still see it too, right?

Actually, Various Nonsense was once an okay, funny place.  But at somepoint, it found an old statue of some fat demon with a sword in it.  It pulled out the sword, and the statue started sucking VN into a hell of yuri and lolcats.  So Toady took his own sword, and stabbed VN through the heart, sealing it within the hell it had opened in order to save the forum.

Looking at this thread's existence, I'd say the seal is leaking.

[Nilocy]

Hey, i just remember the number of times people started post count threads.

It was a funny place, i miss it. Shame about the stupid yuri crap. It was a good place. A gooood goood place. I miss it : (

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

Various Nonsense was accurately named.

[Tack]

So general discussion, and various nonsense are not the same?

Basic difference I can see - Yuri isn't allowed here.

[Kagus]

Could we just try and forget about what VN turned into?  I still have fond memories of the old one.

You know, the one that burned your eyes with that horrific radioactive mildew background?

[LegoLord]

Basic difference I can see - Yuri isn't allowed here.

Wrong.  Here, we generally actually discuss things.  What VN became was just a whole mess of mindless "LOL RANDUMMM!!" type threads.

[Tack]

LOL RANDUMMMM, you say?

So basically various nonsense - was so that all the loving and trusting people of bay12 could get the 4chan out of their system.

[Kagus]

Pretty much.  Except, instead of getting it out, the place ended up turning into a sort of feedback loop for all involved.

Was not a pretty sight.

[Jackrabbit]

Was not. I defended rigorously, against you I seem to recall, but I wasn't in the right.

It was just a mess of

HEY ARGLEFARGLE BAGELS FRENCH DONUTS LOL POST CATSITSCATURDAY

NO I COUNTER WITH SOFTCORE LESBIAN PORN.

Just no good.

[Kagus]

Ah, don't mind me.  Most people here have argued with me on some point or another, I just have a habit of getting into these things.

[Tack]

I know the feeling! I once managed to make the entire forum hate me in a single morning.
*Hangs achievement on wall and stares at lovingly*.

I had spent the entire night wired on sex euphoria and energy drinks, and posted like all crazy for the entire morning afterwards. If you look back on the majority of the threads here, you can see everyone slowly becoming more and more annoyed by me.
