The Wasteland

Post by King of Creation »

Ok...here's the deal. The Wasteland, in theory, is a great and glorious thing. However, there are too many idiots who post terrible threads with porn, shock pictures, nazi stuff, whatever. There's no reason or use to posting those kinds of things, and it is now completely ban-able offense.

I will bring back the Wasteland if, and only if, it does not devolve into a shit fest again. You can spam it to your hearts content as long as there is nothing even remotely pornographic or anything else like that. It should be like that anyway, but as an added incentive, we need to attract new advertisers/new members/etc, and we can't do it if we have a forum like the old wasteland.

I can agree with that but the ban offense might be a bit much. If you ban one person here its like banning 10 people on another forum, we just dont have the population to ban at whim.

What? No more NSFW stuff in the Wasteland?

Anyhow, I rather have a weak Wasteland than none at all and a nazi-Smiley editing posts.

So what you are saying mein fuher, is that for DaC to remain the same, DaC has to totally change?

Is that right?

Cause if so then i suggest you go and look up 'logic' in the dictionary.

Meh, without NSFW material the Wasteland loses 99% of its appeal. I say leave it gone.

The Wasteland has always been available for registered users only, thus hidden from the public. The NSFW policy was even stated in the forum description. If posting boobies in the Wasteland is the next ban-able offense, you're becoming the Herve Caen of DAC. Not even Teatime would've closed down the Wasteland.

So far the new forum policy has only scared off everyone except the idiots that seem to be hardcoded in the source code of DAC. Not quite the result you were hoping, huh?

Say, how about not being delusional and accepting DAC as it is. The existence of the Wasteland means fuckall to advertisers or new members. If you want to build something new, there's multiple ways of doing that as well as keeping the current residents happy. Contentwise, DAC hasn't evolved at all during the last couple of years. The informational value of the front page is zero. ZERO. Yet, reshuffling the forum once again will somehow solve all the problems. Get out of China, man; eating raccoons can't be healty.

Smiley can stay in whatever hole he's hiding in.

DAC is stagnating. I suggested help... but... oh well... screw you. You don't deserve my support.

vxtrauma, make no mistake, i WILL fight you, vxtrauma, but we should, i think, put aside grievances and join forces to save dac and live to fight another day while not looking a gift horse in the mouth
