Close The Wasteland?

Go vote... as I said in the other thread, the only way I'd consider closing it is if I knew people weren't going to spam and post fist.jpg in the other forums.

I guess you could close it without spamming the rest of the site.
But, do we want it closed?

Keep it open..

Just ignore the forum if you don't like it.

Hear hear.

Close it. It's embarrasing and immature. If we want to be taken seriously, we need to get rid of the dead weight.

closing the wasteland WILL unleash tubgirl and goatse upon the rest of the forums.

I'm with mismatch on this one. Replace forums with world though.

Well I am inclined to agree with Susan, Mismatch, and so on. DAC needs an outlet for unsavoury stuff, and the wasteland keeps it contained.

The Wasteland is ultimately a place for people to post crap without fear of retribution. Posting in the forum doesn't increase your post count. We should probably set the forum to auto-prune every two weeks or so too...

Leave the wasteland as it is. I don't think auto pruning would benefit it at all. It's an archive of stupid, vile & a bit of irreverent fun that isn't welcome in the other forums.

I never thought a woman could enjoy the Wasteland.

She's secretly a man. Don't tell anyone.

Why? I ignore most of the wasteland unless it's a fun conversation & there have been a number of those. The Wasteland sereves a dual purpose of spam outlet & garbage can. Now mind you, I have learned from long experience to use caution with links found there or in #fallout & am not foolish enough to open them when my children are up.

Any woman who can take the Fallout community for years is not likely to be one to be put off by the Wasteland.

That'd take out a good portion of our posting population. Piatch.

Ever since Wasteland MKII, we've been constantly on the defensive, being forced to justify its presence again and again. If you don't like it, pretend it doesn't exist. And subhuman's vote on this subject doesn't count, because he is a pansy-flower.

I wonder why you seem to be the only person concerned with this. Have you forgotten how lucky you are that this is the internet?

Just me? Really? So I guess Teatime, Dark Underlord, and the others are working on the site's redesign, what...just for kicks?

Glass houses, dude.

I don't think "seriously" and the "site re-design" could quite go together in the same sentence... While it is a good design, it's not "We r teh serius" it's more "AAARGH GIANT MOTHER-FUCKING ROACHES!".

... and it would be dishonest of me to say I wasn't doing it just for kicks. I'm eagerly waiting for the day when we launch the new code. Here's hoping the entire site doesn't come to a grinding halt under the load.

Seriously though, what's with the seriousness? If I wanted that, I would've stayed on at the Codex back when that was still a pipe-dream.

Duck and Cover

Close The Wasteland?
