Hi, derailing threads, idiotic statements and general idioticy.
Does this look like a buildup towards a new VN like you guys too?

This thread is meant to discuss this, as although it might just be me, I am starting to sence more and more general derailing in this part of the forum.

Explanation of VN for new members:

So, now for the recap on Various Nonsense for new and not-that-old members:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Once upon a time, Various Nonsense was the only non-game-related section around here. General discussion, artistic projects and forum games lived together in some harmony. Then gradually forum games started to spread and soon the majority of active threads were forum games. After some complaining, they got their own sub-section. The freshly opened space filled with threads and somehow they started to show increasing lack of content. This went on for some months, culminating in significant spamming and numerous forum guideline violations, the sexually oriented ones being the most prominent and disturbing ones. It ended in Toady locking the whole section and eventually deleting it. The reasoning was that there's already (too) many outlets for crap on the Internet.

Agreed,

STOP IT GUYS I MEAN SERIOUSLY

[Angellus]

Maybe it is just something that has to happen, like a species sinus.

1. You mentioned the place. Not good.
2. Putting in this thread increases the chances of this place getting closed too.
3. I can only remember a little of newVN. I popped in for a few secs, then left, my mind abuzz.. with... stuff.

[Rilder]

I never posted much in VN...

4. I am not currently learning Maths.

1. I think otherwise, I believe that this might be a way to discuss it and hold it from escalating.
2. Maybe, it will most probably get Toady's attention, but this is meant as a discussion location and I think that there is no need of being scared as long as this thread stays railed.
3. I do not mean the NewVN, I mean a new VN apprearing here in general discussion. Interesting, but quite probably negative.
4. Then start learning you idiot, you have an exam to learn for!

[Tack]

It isn't the exam I'm worried about!

Also - I was talking about oldVN - sorry.

[Emperor_Jonathan]

Seriously, there has been avatar fad threads!

Whats next overthrow of the forum government, a new baron?

A MOBILE RP FORTRESS OH GOD

Don't do that shit.

No problem. I personally have not been there afaik, but I heard enough to see destruction upcoming

(I am having a hard time to find out whether a revival of VN would be good or bad, although the DF production will be getting a gigantic hit due to toady having to moderate a LOT more I am rather curious to how this would escalate and would somewhere like to examine how it goes... BAD CAT!)

Heh, I do not think Aquizzar will be losing his duke title Maybe a Emperor or something though...

What all did happen to rail towards the oldVN?

[Aqizzar]

1) It's Baron, not Duke.  Duke already has the Duke-ing covered.

2) There is no 'U'.

3) To answer your question, people like Tack are what made Various Nonsense what it was by its end.

[Gunner-Chan]

This isn't going anywhere no one lets it. So Just... Forget it.

Angellus I suggest you lock this.

[TheNewerMartianEmperor]

Yes. Please do so.

[Aqizzar]

I wholeheartedly agree.  Nothing destroys a civil atmosphere faster than introspection over its culture.

Seriously, we've been here before, several times, and it never ends well.

[Tack]

people like Tack are what made Various Nonsense what it was by its end.

Ouch. Possibly a true sentiment, but if you didn't notice what I said above, I actually stayed out of VN.

Yeah, better just to lock it.

Huh, I didn't even know you were here that long.  Well, then it seems we're on the same page about this.
