Close DAC.

[PiP]

so, where are the mods? or perhaps more and more people (not only mods) are too busy with their real lives?

[S4ur0n27]

Even this thread, which was free of spam and serious, is now plagued.

[Koki]

Well then, the only thing DAC members can talk about normally is guns anyway.

And I'm not even kidding. When there was decent thread in GD? We spammed every single thread that was there. The other thing is, there is not much serious threads anymore at all. Just LOOK HERE ITS FUNNEH LAWL.

Why is it like that? Beats me(with an fucking ugly tree).


Maybe we just need active moderation. And by 'active' I don't mean 'posting spam actively'.

[VasikkA]

There's nothing more sad than a website identity crisis.

[ApTyp]

I make every effort to create news and GD topics that prompt people to say something meaningful. It's not my fault Blargh and Worst Poster Ever are driving collective DAC IQ into the ground.

It is a policy of Teatime not to ban those inbreds, and I fully agree with him. It's not their fault for making DAC a shit plateau. It's YOUR fault for trying to keep up with them. And until you morons wisen up, DAC will remain Sierra Feces thanks to a bunch of retards who are probably NMA spies and saboteurs anyway.

[Blargh]

*laughs*

It is no fault of mine that I and my actions are beyond your ken. Nonetheless, keep frothing at the mouth, dear ApTyp, for your futile search for a suitable patsy does amuse me.

[PiP]

let me say this again:

a lot of former members have stopped posting lately(or at least from the time I used to be more active). The massive amount of spam is partially if not wholly to blame for this.

while it shouldn't. The superior intellect of the core members should discourage assholes from posting and not vice versa, ie. core members shouldn't leave just because a hat man or two come to their forum.

This is a Fallout site and Fallout is dead, ok.

[S4ur0n27]

Maybe we just need active moderation. And by 'active' I don't mean 'posting spam actively'.

That's the easiest and probably one of the most effective solution there could be.

I wouldn't accuse Blargh of anything on this, he's probably one of the most eloquent members here. I don't want to name anyone except myself, here, because I think every somehow takes part in this.

And I agree with Teatime's policy of not banning, but moderating would still be greatly appreciated. Asshatting, locking and moving threads is necessary to every forum, we've been seeing less and less of it in the past weeks.

[Dan]

DAC needs a bunch of supermods or something. Like before.

[ApTyp]

Susan, I know that sometimes extreme moderating seems very attractive sometimes, but if we did that, you would've been the first one to go. When you let everyone carry machineguns, you can count on a few major massacres, but don't think about it as a tragedy - think about it as an opportunity. The moment the best of us stop treating DAC as an outlet for our inner dumbass, DAC will stop being a shithole of Fallout communitah.

[DarkUnderlord]

Can't you read? I just said I'm just like everyone else, and that something needs to be done.

Delete the forums and start again?

I agree though. Since the incarnation of certain users, a line was crossed and I'm the man behind the line who puts you back behind it... or something. The following users have been confined to the Wastelands until further notice. Each user has, in brackets after their name, direct links to the posts which were deemed to make the user "AssHat Worthy".

• S4ur0n27 (1)
• hat_man99 (1)
• Worst Poster Ever (1)

If you follow the links, you may determine that the "AssHat Worthiness" was defined along a simple measure: If you deleted their posts from the thread, would the post still make sense or would you be losing valuable contributions? There were enough examples that posts simply added nothing meaningful. More to the point, it was an epidemic attitude rather than being on the odd occasion. Each user has been PM'd and informed of this decision (as well as being told when they try to post in a forum other than the Wastelands). This type of shit should be kept to the Wastelands - which is what that forum is for.

If they would like this decision over-turned, they will need to apologise (yes, apologise - as in make an "I'm really very sorry and I'll never do it again" post in the Wastelands where they are confined) or PM The Managementâ„¢ (Teatime - he loves this sort of stuff) with an explanation or defense of their actions and reasons why their behaviour should not be deemed "AssHat Worthy".

The following users were spared (and I felt needed to have special mention that they were spared):

• Megatron (Funny parody)
• Blargh (He actually seems to post some reasonable shit)
• Naked_Lunch (He's kept most of his shit to the Wasteland recently - probably since being warned - if that changes though, he'll join the list)

The Management™ will be reviewing this list and the behaviour of the selected AssHats. We will also review this decision in time¹.

Thank you for your concern.


¹A day, a week, a month - who knows!

[ApTyp]

If you spare Blargh, then I will quit (and so will a dozen of my clones).

[Blargh]

Whatever happened to the wiles of bicycles, O ApTyp ? For your own sake, I would suggest coming to terms with the simple truth that you cannot stand me. It will make things much clearer for you.

I'd comment upon how glad I am to be spared the bright sword of vindication and so on, but I suspect it would be rather pointless. Aside from the wrath of ApTyp (given a lack of objectivity, does this count ? And if so, why ?), I can't recall any glaring reason(s) why I would be (dis)honourably mentioned as has been so. Emote exclusives, one liners and general bollocks are not unique to me, or Meg and Naked_Lunch for that matter. Most of us dabble from time to time as context and whim takes us. Some more than others. Even the ever judgmental ApTyp, glaring from his self imposed ivory tower of denial, is 'guilty' of such, a cursory search and/or recent memory will confirm this. Bah. Probably best left unanswered, all things considered.

I'd be shocked, if I were not so already. Perpetual.

[PiP]

side note: many times one emoticon can say more than a whole paragraph of pseudo-sophisticated babbling.

[Subhuman]

Like I said, posting here isn't fun anymore, I already am not getting any satisfaction from DAC, so DAC closing or not doesn't really matter anymore.

So...it's all about you, then?

If you don't like it, leave. That, or stop complaining. This is hardly the worst DAC has seen.

I'd personally love to see it go on as long as it can, with a constant revolving door of regular posters, drama, and spam. We could be the Coronation Street of Internet forums.

Shite, I watch Coronation Street. Let me be Dave!

[vendetta]

More to the point, DaC is a cycle. Just give it a chance.

[ExtremeDrinker]

I'd post more, but I'm busy with life outside the internet. I don't pay much attention to the new users. Some threads interest me, most don't. I can't tell much difference now than from 3 years ago except the lack of new threads. Seems like threads started 2 months ago when I went on hiatus are pretty much the only active threads. Nothing wrong with that, really.

Give it a month, and people will return, new will come.

[Kashluk]

Summer time's usually the quiet time anyway.
