I agree completely. Harmony and "respectable discussion" is boring. Cheat should just make the anarchy forum. People who don't like it don't have to go there. It's a win-win situation. I don't know why everyone is so against the idea.

I guess this is the most sensible solution. Like a Sentinel Wall containing the infection from spreading.

Should be called "The Hive"

I suggested this exact idea twice before, but over half of the forum rejected it. There was literally no reason to reject the idea. Everyone gets what they want. The uptight users don't have to deal with shitposting. And the shitposters get their haven to do whatever they please.

You're not a very good salesman then.

SecondClass would sell 3 used cars in half a day.

I know, right?

Hell, it even makes things better for them as users like us two who generate so much "shitposting" wouldn't even be in The Flood. We'd just be in the Anarchy forum.

Have you noticed that it's just you and SecondClass that tend to agree on things?

The problem is it creates tension between users nonetheless. It will bleed over into this board and you guys, as you always do, will start arguments over things said in the "Anarchy" board.

Will it make the rules tighter?

Grapes as well. Pretty much any non-uptight user. Unfortunately, this forum naturally consists of mainly uptight users, as it were the people who were uptight over the update who created and joined these Offsite forums in the first place.

And none of the 3 of you are really taken seriously by the rest of the forum.

That's not really the case. The first proposal couldn't work because of the ToS. And the second time, somebody derailed the proposal by spamming stuff about "OH MY GOD, CP'S GONNA BE EVERYWHERE" and it fell flat because my thread just became a flamewar.

Hmm...

A trial run sounds diplomatic enough.

Still feels like shaking hands with the devil. But its all up to Cheat.

By: You, Noelle, Kinder, and Sentra that is.

Most of the users here are on nobody's "side" and are neutral.

Except for the fact that no one likes Sentra.
Don't get me wrong, I'm neutral myself. You just seriously don't know what you're talking about.

He suggested in this thread that he's interested in doing a trial run, and I just sent him a PM stating the possible benefits of doing so.

Okay then.

Time will tell how this experiment will go, it should still be called "The Hive"

Then just delete posts which spill Anarchy board stuff into other forums?

Cheat suggested giving it a trial run of a few days. I think that'd be the best idea.

Hypothetically, if this were to happen, the Serious forum would probably have to be absorbed back into The Flood, since otherwise we'd be splitting the content that would usually just go into The Flood into three forums. Art would also go (though it probably will anyway, since it is barren).

Aether · August 15, 2014, 08:21:05 PM

Eh I mean it's all fine and dandy that some of you want a shithole for a board. I just don't particularly think that Cheat wants the site he put so much work into to be one.

Gotta give the guy some degree of respect. In the end, it's his site.

We could have non-controversial topics going into The Flood, and very controversial/bait topics going into the Anarchy board?

Anarchy should be the opposite to Serious. Like...I don't know, but it should be.

Shithole board doesn't mean shithole site.

To clarify, the 'board' is the culmination of all forums. So essentially, because this site consists entirely of forums and forum related pages, the board = the site.

With all due respect Chronic, I don't think semantics are important and I'm pretty sure you know what he meant.

The Flood, in this situation, would basically merge with Serious since the nonsense posts would be filtered into the Anarchy board. The Flood would have to require a bit more of the whole "Play Nice" mentality, since otherwise we'd have, essentially, two identical boards.
