Jah Warrior Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 This place is becoming very surreal!!! I havent seen a truly wicked thread in ages and it seems liek everyone is just posting for the hell of it. I been getting weird vibes from this place for about a week and theres not a lot i want to post replies to at the moment. Have we run out of stuff to talk about or am i reading onto this too much? Maybe its just that the quality of the threads is fluctuating and it will pick up again soon? who knows? is this spam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I dunno... I generally try to talk about current events when I create posts here... my last one no one cared about... 0 responces, as usual... I really don't think any post is spam until there is absolultly NO way that you can respond without flaming them... Or something along those lines *rubs his eyes* -edit- Thank you, Quotation, for the perfect example: Originally posted by Quotation Hmm.... There is no way in HELL you can reply to that without calling him a spammer... and yes, posts that call people spammers, well, those posts are also spam. er... like if I had posted to that post "Quotation.. don't spam like that"... that'd be spam... leave the repremanding to the admin ...How could he even consider posting that ? That was his ENTIRE post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kstar__2 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 well, i do get alot of idea's for treads, but i always forget them:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Sometimes I wonder about where people are coming from in why certain threads are ignored, and others replied to. I think thread Y is a good thought provoking one, which makes for a good read, whereas it's usually thread Z that doesn't really say much that gets all of the replies to it.................

Darklighter Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Well Jah, the blame cannot be placed on me, that's for certain...I have not posted a thread in about a month...and yes, I think people should stop starting new topics which are 1) Stupid 2) A waste of time. Thank you, and enjoy your stay:D;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Been wondering about this myself.... It's because most people in here aren't interested in debating anything, just small-talk around friends..... Maybe people in here are immature, maybe it's because they've done all the debating they needed to do in real life. One thing's for certain: a thread created in the swamp can degenerate into petty small talk in no time.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomHelix Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 lol yeah, a lot is spam, or close to it, but i think the swamp is just goin thru a dry period at the moment. itll get bak to the way it was b4 soon, i think......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I very much doubt it Phantom. No one sees it as a forum anymore: it is a chat room, only with posts instead of instant messages lol. It's kinda sad:(... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomHelix Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 well, i can hope cant i? anywho, some1 has to do somethin. if we dont stop constantly spamming, this whole forum will go down in flames. i kno it doesn't seem possible, but it can happen. we really gotta shape up.

Pad Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 and i believe ur right darky. its more chatting and irrelavant posts since ever. we need to do something. act now! maybe we should start an example for all to follow. less spamming and post RELEVANT things. he without sins casts the first stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kstar__2 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 i have two interesting threads:D come join them! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I think we should start a new system...Maximum amount of threads made per week...if you exceed the limit, your post count goes down by 20:Dlol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 hey, funky's my middle name *dances to bullmark* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I don't think the problem is the number of threads created (apart from that darthboba00 dude), it's more to do with people extinguishing them through a blaze of chat, small talk and spam posts. I know you can't expect people to stay on topic, but you really cannot create a thread in the swamp without it's topic being changed after 3 or 4 posts.... depressing....

Darklighter Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 I know exactly what you mean...but sometimes people do go way over the top with the amount of threads made...I don't want to believe that the amount of threads almost equals the amount of threads, but right now it's going that way:(lol (I hope I am not going to contradict myself...I'm about to make a thread for the first time in a month lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 so like i was saying it doesn't really matter if you see pink elephants when your high. People see many differnt things. Some people even imagine things coming out of their tv sets and some just lie on the floor believing the world is spinning. Whatever you do when your high...just be careful and remember people can't fly.... this forum is going to hell!!! at least we will have fun on the way down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 :elephant: :elephant: but seriously, it's not that bad. this is tame and on track compared to what it was back when JO came out. honestly, its nice now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Considering our newest visitor I think this topic should go to the top. I especially hate when people come in here to cause problems - I really don't mind when people spam once in awhile to keep the humor going. It makes it fun. However people like the unmentionable just annoy the crap out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBomber Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 ug! The swamps a mess, with all these Jewdi2k2 jrs..... So depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 I was away for a couple of days and just now have got to read this....... Man, I didn't realize ppl have been thinking this place is that bad, very sad this is. I don't see it as very bad though.....maybe I'm blind to the problems or somethin' I think the regulars around here can only do so much to help guide the newbies.....even some of the regulars have a difficult time controlling themselves. We just need to do a better job of policing our own posts.....I've even deleted a couple of my own. I don't know, I'm not giving up on this place!!!

gorganfloss Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 The Swamp seems to have gotten a bit dull lately...Could just be me...I even had to delete one of my posts for the first time the other day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mima kake Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Well if it was that bad. Why is every body coming back again and again... I mean we still like the swamp even if every body spams now en then. even the mods. Some times there are some realy funny thing beeing said. And I don't mind then if it's spam or not. And another thing is some people have other defenisions what spam is. So what you concider as spam another person could think it's something important .(or funny) BTW GREAT AVATAR Gorgan:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
