Hay Hush...

idk, AoC just lost it's appeal to me....

The game's truly repetitive, and although it's a pretty game and everything, there's just way too many bugs, and the overall gameplay could use a big tweak. Also, wayyyy too many kids on the forums going through Teen Angsts to handle...

Avoiding all non-CoH game forums is a good idea.

Most groups have any IOs you would need readily available.

This.

You're a part of that whole circle jerk thing, aren't you?

Don't be ashamed of who you are. We're all friends here.. well, not really but still.

The problem is people don't "keep it in line". I've been watching the forums deteriorate at a rapid pace over the last 3+ years to where anyone who posts to a topic with an opposing view to the majority is quickly flamed, harassed, and belittled in a way I haven't seen since high school. It's really not an appropriate way for any adult to act, yet it has become the norm. I like a spirited debate, but that doesn't seem possible anymore as people very quickly move from discussion to personal attack and character assassination, and it's the reason I don't really post much anymore. I don't see the point if I'm just going to get verbally assaulted for having a differing opinion or chose to play devil's advocate.

I mean just look at the recent flood of posts regarding the change to Energy Transfer. It's literally impossible to sit down and read the entirety of these threads as the vast majority of the posts are little more than personal rants full of hyperbolic nonsense. And heaven help the poor souls that chimed in with "well I tested it myself and it's really not that bad..."

Those who have been here long enough should well remember CuppaJo, who though well-beloved also carried a very large, heavy ban stick, and wasn't afraid to use it. People knew exactly where the line was and that the line was going to be enforced. And the forums were a better place for it. But once the job title was elevated to Community Rep, and involved a lot more than policing the forums, things got way out of hand. So I'm glad to see we now again have dedicated moderators who will be strictly enforcing the rules. It really does make the forums a better place for everyone.

As for all the people complaining about how "vague" the rules seem, com'n, let's grow up a bit. Anyone over the age of 10 should know what's appropriate to say in public and what's not. And forums like this are very much public places. If you even have to question if something you've written is inappropriate, chances are IT IS and you shouldn't post it. Likewise, if it's something you wouldn't comfortably be able to say at the dinner table, at a holiday or party, in the middle of a supermarket, or would make your grandma pull you into the bathroom by the ear with a bar of soap in her hand, again, probably not a good idea to hit the "ok, submit" button.

And if by chance you happen to post something you honestly felt was ok but turns out not to be, you'll first be notified with a warning and an explanation. That should be enough for most people to get a pretty clear idea of where the line is. If not there will likely be a swinging ban stick in your future. While it may seem harsh to you, the rest of us will be better for it. If you can't play nicely in the sandbox, teacher isn't going to let you partake in recess...

I'm sorry.. these are THE tamest internet forums I frequent. And I frequent a lot of them. And it really hasn't changed much around here in the last 4 years.

I was Pro-Ed back when the news of it was first released. That was derogatory flaming, that was. I still managed to smile. Some people take everything a bit too seriously, in my opinion.

I can't believe he hasn't been picked up yet when he posted an app for every single pvp sg/vg in the game. Especially with 3 ice/ice blasters, that's dedication.

[/ QUOTE ]

ujl accepted him, he just never showed up on vent and never pm'd any of us.

[/ QUOTE ]
That's dedication.

Please remove @smokesignal, @smoke signal

GG's guys. We'll see you soon.

I haven't had any time to get smashed around lately.. but I'll duel someone if they're itching to slap someone around.

Hai thar.

I blame Koralith for lying... I would never kick a dog. A person.. maybe.. but, not a dog.

I blame Plasma for not playing multiple MMO's at once.

BROADEN YOUR MIND!!

Daikon is the reason we don't have selectable Arena maps.

Best of luck to the Awesome Avengers, and I sincerely hope that a lot of those players looking for a new home would consider joining this group that has some very fine players on its roster already, and a veteran leader.
