Seriously Darko, Yes.

YES!





And there's no fecking way that OWF comes close to /b/. The closest thing we have to child porn here is perhaps a child who likes porn.

magic mushroom

Magic Mushroom from Mario?

Hobo 01-10-2009 05:41 AM

No, the member named after the hallucinogen.

Your old multi? And most healthy forums have at least a coupla thousand members.

I haven't really seen any forums like that, and if all those members were regularly active like the ones here, then...it would be a huge mess. It could never result in the same community of people that get to know each other in the way this one does either.

And who says this forum has degenerated? By some peoples standards, maybe, but that's still a purely opinionated thought. Some of us could go as far to say it's upgraded *shrugs* I hadn't thought about this forum in either way at all until this thread popped up. I doubt anyone else did either. Considering Mushroom has been absent for a while too, they're more likely to notice any differences as a result. I have no problem with the forum's current state, I find it amusing to read mostly. Even when actual Oddworld stuff to talk about pops up, there'll still be significant remnants of the current stage of progress, which would be good. It gives this place it's own personality, so to speak. And it's not like we don't care about Oddworld anymore (presuming we all did when we joined), as otherwise W@RF wouldn't have got so far.

My opinion is the forum is fine. Otherwise we wouldn't still be here. Most no one else minds either, as should be obvious. If you don't like it, fine, but don't state opinion as fact.

"I said you shouldn't mistake fact for opinion. You said that I was right. You're right. I knew that I was". One of those fun little Modest Mouse lyrics.

Is it O.K. to post links with Oddworld information here?

Jordan 01-10-2009 10:56 AM

Well, seeing as this thread has absolutely 0% to do with Oddworld and it's in Forum Suggestions & Help, I say go for it!

That's when you get gamespot forums, cesspool of the internet.

DarKo's post is the only post that I've really ever read on here that made me WTF in real life.

Strike Witch 01-13-2009 03:30 AM

Fuck, I don't care what you think, Magic Marshmellow, this place is good.

It's not full of dickheads, it's not crowded, and it's not a place I post my yaoifics.

This forum is a very small one. There are ones this size, small ones e.g. the ones at spacebattles.com, big ones like most official site forums of big things, and the OMG HUGE ones like 4chan.

The reason I say that a healthy forum needs more members than this one has is nothing to do with content, and isn't a disparagement of you guys or anything in any way. All I'm saying is that a board of this size doesn't attract enough new members for replacement and will inevitably go under given enough time. Hopefully, Citizen Siege will give us enough new members to hit MVP again.

What I was saying about degeneration stemmed from my shock at the different nature of discussion.

That said, I'm not complaining.

Except at Ghost mentioning yaoi. *runs screaming*

4chan is not a forum, even if it wasn't an imageboard I wouldn't call any board where people can post anonymously a forum.

Even if it was a forum it'd still contribute evidence for the hypothesis that all huge forums are shit stains on the internet.

Speaking from years of experience, the Oddworld Forums have remained consistently active during the down periods between Oddworld releases. There isn't a shadow of doubt in my mind that we'll be around for years to come, and then some.

And yaoi is awesome! ^_^

that thread should be locked, yes. the OP offered nothing and the other posts were just stupid.

In my defence there are many stupid threads on the forums and it isn't up to me what people post!

Wil 01-19-2009 02:35 PM

How is that in your defense?

Jordan 01-19-2009 02:36 PM

There are other sections besides your profile y'know Shaman.

Meh, I'm just kidding.

it ISNT up to me if people post stupid stuff in my threads.

And i was very suprised by a mod posting

:

PENIS!
seriously. He is much better than that.

Wil 01-19-2009 02:45 PM

Sorry, I didn’t immediately get the connection with it being in reference to something on the previous page.

Someone doesn't know Hobo very well. You have been Hobowned! As have we all. As have we all.


Edit: Oh, shit. It was Havoc, not Hobo. That's weird. It should have been Hobo. It so should have been Hobo.

Please supply more.

Also, those are the smallest finger holes I have ever seen in a bowling ball.

Strike Witch 01-19-2009 03:51 PM

It's not a bowling ball, it's a rotund robot.

Only in the wild and wacky world of anime.

I would be pleased if approximately 97 percent of it went away. Starting with Milk Chan. God, I hate Milk Chan.
