Well, this place is boring now.  I have pretty much stopped coming here.  I check my games, a few posts, then log off.

Shame they took a fun forum away.

i'm wondering why the don't shut down the OT since they are all about just talking about games, according to the mikeb post.

Well, they got to have a place for the other 99% of asinine bullcrap that gets spewed from people's heads onto the interent.  Oh... and a place for RMT sellers or no-name game fanbots to spam their stuff.

Agreed. As much of a cistern as it was, it was also one of the few reasons to come to the off-topic boards for a good number of people. I'm not exactly sure why this happened ... there's no reason at least a loose moderation policy couldn't have been implemented (so as to get rid of comments like those referring to Herman Cain as the "Pizza N-Word") without nuking the forum entirely.

Well, that wasn't the only thing that led them to close it down.  But, it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back (along with baff and kchf (whateverthefrackhisnamewas) spouting the N-word on a constant basis in their respective threads).

That use to be the case for the OT period. Look at the description of this board.

And you're right. The OT boards are ridiculously dull now. With such extreme moderation in this whole department. Anything can be construed as political/ethical/religious, and therefor news stories that use to make their appearance now are forbidden, and nothing is particularly left to talk about that has really any type of interest for those over the age of 13.

I mean in all seriousness, I've checked these forums the past couple days, and the activity has damn near died out, and it's sad. I've visited these boards for roughly eight years now, I've moderated them, made friends, enemies, people I wish I had never met...But all in all, it was an amusing time, and it's sad to see things become relegated in such a manner.

Well, the major problem is with how they define things.  I mean:

1. Religion is very easily defined and discussion of such is easily avoided as people know what constitutes Religious discussions.
2. Politics is not easily defined.  It is a very grey area.  One which they did not define.  And, that is where the problem lies.

The members that were engaging in complete lunacy, conspiracy theories, and statements on the verge of being physical threats against other members or politicians being a few.
