Write better posts.

It's fine doing it once or twice, but just writing I AGREE is fucking pathetic.

I agree.

Good point though, maybe if the mods see such posts they can be deleted immediately.

Yea, but at least it isn't as bad as the NMA boards.

Still. Write better posts, people.

Exactly. If you want to chat idly, do it on #fallout or elsewhere. This place is not for conversations.

Are you referring to the recent spamathon that occured in The Order?

That's a rare exception.

Typing posts would be better still as I find ink smudges on monitors very distracting...

Oh, come on. NMA boards suck and you know it.

As for better posts, I'm not sure if typing like "liekh" and the "teh" means better posts, but I'll sure try that one, Pyro!

Maybe by "better posts" they mean posts that actually add to the discussion. I try to do that, but every now and then I post a stupid one. It's no big deal though, as I have what, 300 some posts in the three-odd years that I've been here? Definitley not spam-type numbers.

... that has got to be the most horrible thread ever.
Forgive me, Megatron, now I understand what you meant with this whole better posts thing.
Still, don't be the first one to throw the stones... Or something.

Hmm, okay kiddies! Let's practice our math!

Today's date is 9 January 2004!

You joined less than two years ago!

/ignores the fact that there's probably an older version of the DaC forums.

atoga · Post by **atoga** » Fri Jan 09, 2004 9:23 pm

Yeah, there is an older version of the boards.

Better posts mean substance, not quality of typing. As long as I can figure out what you're saying, and you do in fact have something to say, I don't care what you type like. Pyro types like a crazy bitch, but his stuff is fun to read and pretty neat, so I don't care.

Anyway, more than one badly-thought-out sentence is preferable.

No, I'm referring to Welsh and his 3 topics a day.

He starts 2 another topics before the 1st one is replied to. Not all of em are especially great, either.

That kind of stuff.

Pyro demanding that forum members only submit well thought-out, quality posts?

My oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my.

How things have changed, eh? So... how many times in the old days did you get banned from the DAC forums for posting utter shite, Pyro?

3 or 4? Or more? I'm thinking at least 3...

Mods: Please be moderate.

Megatron · Post by **Megatron** » Sat Jan 10, 2004 2:51 pm

I think it was about 4.

It's not that I'm bored of stupid, pointless posts else I'd have left by now. It's just that it's become acceptable just to add one line or so, which doesn't really make for an intresting read. It could be a bit funny, but with about 30 people trying to be funny at the same time it get's a bit boring, mabye? I don't mind the odd one-line, but most of the time I try to add something on-topic too. I know I don't post amazing, deep posts, but I usually write more than 'Yeah, I don't like there attitude too :x'

Perhaps I'm just bored or something though. Looking for threads in all the wrong places mebbe.

NMA is pretty boring though. About 10 new topics everyday about things nobody cares about or nobody has had first-hand experience in, so they just end up posting links and statistics. Zowee.

Ozrat · Post by **Ozrat** » Sat Jan 10, 2004 10:06 pm

You guys gotta stay out of the General Discussion forum then.

I mean, c'mon, The Order is sorta like DAC, but more cuddly.

We are not cuddly, friendly & receptive? Damn, that's news to me.
