Close The Wasteland?

I'm not trying to get all "serious", but I do remember Teatime and others talking about how they wanted to broaden DAC's reader base and become more of a proper fansite, rather than just a wasteland (so to speak) of stupidity. The Wasteland serves a purpose, technically, but who with a functioning brain really needs to see more goatse, or worse? It's juvenile and, after a while, tedious.

Just my two cents, yo. Take it or leave it.

Righto, I'm leaving it then.

Nobody likes you. Shut up.

Are you implying that somebody actually likes you more than me?

Well DAC is doing pretty well, actually. Our traffic is constantly going up. The Wasteland caters to the more unsavoury part of the community. It has a big red warning on it, and the rest of the DAC forums are kept worksafe, and some intelligent discussion goes on in them. Until our traffic stops rising, I'll take it as a hint we're doing something right.

As for the new design, it's not a 'serious' design like you'd expect BBC news to have, it's fun and slightly camp I guess, just like Fallout. It does also allow the news to be closer to the top of the screen, and yes, if you don't like roaches, you may be put off. It seems to be a love or hate thing, but luckily the majority of people who have seen it love it.

Finally, when all of the new code and ideas we have are implemented, DAC will be a sight to behold in terms of user involvement and capacity for information on Fallout and PA stuff. I'm all for getting the community involved in the site, which is why we're opening up the news posting scripts for anyone to use (though has to be admin approved before posting on the front page), and the database as well will be able to be edited and updated by anyone who is registered.

Lies, lies I tell you! Everyone hates it! Or at least should...

I like it. But then, I'm a fan of orange.

A certifiably skewed option, when your frequent reiteration of the same tired opinion means it is effectively forced upon others.

Nobody likes you, either.

And there's a difference between "reiteration" and "elaboration".

Oh no, we have something in common !

Of course, but not in this particular situation. As you did not so much 'elaborate' as 'repeat yourself due to suspicions that no one was paying you enough attention'. Oh dear. Really, how could you elaborate on such a simplistic opinion as 'OMG, TEH WAESTLUND IZ TEH SCUK ! LOK !' ?

For your benefit, an excerpt of an accurate, objective, comparative and hopefully enlightening illustration of how flawed your claims of 'elaboration' are. I call it :

'Darryl is a twat - a study.'

Mr. G - 'The sky is blue !'
Mr. G - 'The sky is . . . really, really blue ! Look at it ! So blue !'
Mr. L - 'We . . . don't really care.'
Mr. G - 'Listen to me you guys, I'm saying the sky is blue. Why aren't you listening to me ? This is really, really important !'
Mr. H - 'I'm all out of flying fucks to share or to spare for this, you moron.'
Mr. G - 'But the sky is blue !!!!'
Mr. A - 'LOL your finger is bent !! Oh and shut the fuck up. No one cares.'
Mr. G - 'The sky ! Blue ! Sky ! Blue like the lips of a drowning victim! Surely you understand my point now ?'
chorus - 'DIE, YOU SLUT.'

et al. Anyway, you're completely and utterly biased beyond any hope of objectivity. Further and more importantly, you're completely and utterly wrong. How does that feel ? No different ? Ah, consistency, one thing you can be proud of. Hooray.

Blargh, just for kicks, try grounding your rants in reality. It makes you look like you know what the fuck you're talking about.

How? I'm biased how? See, it's not enough to just pick out random words because they make you look smart. You need to actually have a point.

Now WAIT! Stop! Don't write that witty, bloated retort you're just itching to post. Just respond to my point and keep it simple so we can both go home happy. Please.

See...this is what we're talking about.

Well, we'll find out soon enough.

Duck and Cover
