Hmm...
I mean...

I could tighten up the rules so that it's a more friendly environment for newcomers. I seem to recall people being all for a more strictly moderated community. Activity is definitely stagnated for the moment and I'd be all for trying something new.

I really, really want to start building up a collection of reviews and articles created by users here and organize/display it on the front page after it gets a facelift. I would even be down with giving authors a cut of the ad money for page views on their article.

Mobile needs to be looked at, which I will have to do since Isara has vanished again (this is like the 32nd time...). I've been working with a really nice framework that would make the browsing experience here on mobile more like an app, so that will probably help if I can start work on it.

In the far future: Groups are going to be pushed back for the nth time so I can focus on this other stuff. Once SMF 2.1 releases a release candidate that is stable, I will likely upgrade the site and begin work on Sep7 3.0. This would allow us to have an alert system that works and a better PM system as well (along with a less tabled layout). But like I said...far future.

Signature goes here.
Does this site really need groups? That would only split the activity even more.

If I have to explain the plan for integrating groups again, I am just going to snap and ban everyone. Google it or use the half-functional search bar.

All good ideas. I'll look forward to what you have in store.

Regarding Isara, is he not on social media, or anything you could use to contact him beyond this site?

Just wow. You know exactly what I'm talking about with this. I guess I'm the only one who actually holds onto human decency.

I'm now willing to start fresh with 98% of the people here. Maybe 97 now. I dunno. Just....

We can never really have a positive moment that really affects everyone positively, there always has to be some sick fucks with a hard on for this kind of shit.

The card game threads are the only good positive thing. I wish we had more positive vibs like that, instead of a flame war, and if this was just elaborate rusing or "trolling" which it really isn't trolling tbh, its just retarded...

Its gotten stale. Like you guys just keep posting the same old shit. For fucks sake save it for Anarchy, its not even Anarchy ya know?

I know not everyone in this community is retarded, but some of you people.... its really questionable to what goes through your head.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't really get a kick on starting a flame war.

"But Deci, YOU RUINED STAR WARS YOU AUTISTIC FAGGOT!"

I know, I know I know, and I don't feel good about it. Honestly I don't know how some of you can feel good about pissing off certain people tbh. I suppose outside of that card game, its what keeps this site standing. Still.... its not really a fun feeling... for me at least. We can do better as a community, but.... I'm not the one to lead a choir of angels with my history.

Oh well at least I have the Gaming forum to enjoy.

If you do manage to make this place more friendly, you got yourself an article writer.

"We need more users and a friendly environment"


That's definitely what I don't want. Most new users are 14 year old model christians. There are like 5 good users on this site, so rather than trying to help Cheat by getting more useless members here, we should go for quality.

Its Cheat's call at the end of the day, not yours. Not even mine. If Cheat wants this place to be more friendly to newcomers, let it be.

Even if that means Sep7agon will become a "hugbox."

Here's my final two cents, 25, 50 cents. If Cheat does tighten up the rules so its much more friendly to newcomers, and wants article writers, hey, I'll stick around for something new and totally different. I can write constructive articles if you want, Cheat.

But if the site is going to stay the same song and dance, then I'm just gonna move on because I'm already outgrowing this current community with the way it currently is, where it won't grow and just remain a toxic cesspit really, if that's what most of you would want. I mean, there are enough cesspits out there like Newgrounds and 4chan, do we really need another one?

I don't really have the luxury for shitposts and memes anymore, at this point its just child's play.

I know I'm not one to really speak about this but for someone that's considered one hell of a lowcow, I do have redeeming qualities and there are people here that know this very well, they just wish to keep their silence, and I can respect that.

I forgot about here in honesty

it's a website for discussion of science fiction and (to a lesser extent) fantasy. There's a lot of creative writing stuff and RP threads but my main thing is technical discussions, as there's a lot of discussion about the scientific and military practicality of a lot of SF stuff like tanks and spaceships and whatnot

it's a fairly large site and its been around for a while, I've only recently started using it.

That sound cool. I'll make an account later today.

I almost quit the site when I first started. Quite a few of you are very hostile and unwelcoming to the newbies.

If its me being a dick, you know I don't mean it. At least 60% of the time. This site kinda made my internet persona into the one of a degenerate.

Do we really want to do that though? I think there is a good reason why a lot of the bad seeds are permabanned here.

A lot of the permabans are over a year old at this point, or approaching it. I'm more than willing to give them another chance because, like it or not, it's gotten far more boring here without them.

Well that's going to be something for Cheat to decide, and who even knows how that will go or if anyone will even show up. Camnator has been off the grid for a very long time now.

Now granted I can go full retard again and post some kind of stupid thread for the sake of everyone's personal amusement here (and I mean something really rule breaking) but I'm really tired of making an ass of myself and I prefer to be more constructive than shitpost worthy.
