im gonna dissect this here post because there be a lotta gold in them there paragraphs... it aint much, but its honest work
Quote: Boltmy two cents: no trolls. they aren't funny nor are they really wanted. they get dull real quick.
i disagree, but only because i think the lighter ones like big green and emperor mustard are fine. sometimes they liven up the site, but others like buchi can make it an unwelcoming environment
Quote: Boltno rape/pedophilia/necrophilia jokes. we're on a family friendly site for god's sake. who mentioned that parents might come on here to check what their kids are reading? because good bloody point. what are they going to say when they see buchi's post? my parents banned me from the site many many years ago because of a joke thunderdragon made, and that was nowhere near as bad as half the things buchi says.
me! that was me!
i remembered when i was much younger, i got banned from using the internet in general because i ended up finding a girl with big boobs on deviant art
i can only imagine the retribution someone could get just for opening one of buchi's topics
like i said earlier, if people want to make those jokes, just skip straight to 4chan
Quote: Boltif im being honest, the kid is making me not want to be around the forum. i used to stick up for him and think he could change, i used to try and help him with his game developement. but he's proven to me that he doesn't want to change and therefore he won't. and he shouldn't be around here making everyone uncomfortable. how many phycologists does it take to change a lightbulb? one, but the lightbulb must want to change.
i agree, even if the forum dies, it does so without controversy, which wouldnt be the case if people like buchi are allowed to keep on with the same unchanging behavior
i still believe theres a good person deep down in there, and i still believe he
can change, but like you said, he doesnt want to
Quote: Boltlike, mugo got banned for arguing about furries and videogames. buchi insults users, says he hates everyone here, says that if darkspyro was a school he'd shoot it up, makes extremely untasteful jokes that makes many people uncomfortable ... and gets a two week ban. okay dark. it's nice that you only pay attention to us for an april fool's joke.
actually i think the death knell for mugo was telling pancakesparx to "choke on glass", and that was just over super smash bros
im glad you brought up the point about dark seemingly not caring though, it brings up a good dialogue and really needs to be addressed. what happens if there's worse cases than buchi or mugo? what if theres actually active threats on other people? do we sit around and wait for dark?
