Does anyone else notice that postcounts have gone down? And I'm not just talking about mine.

I suppose it may be preparation for the move to Jolt.

Do you know if purges will stop once we get to Jolt?

I think they will until we beat that server blue!

I knew this kind of thing would happen one day. I'd been expectng my spam posts to go for ages, since like November.....

Yep, all of the whiners and constantly being put down for doing your job. Plus having to watch out for all the porn and crap that gets posted. I think it would be a huge pain to make something you enjoy a job.

I wonder how much server space forum 7 must have taken up then?
imported_Celeborne
22-05-2004, 12:04
I think that it was just the easiest way to dump. There were no RPs on there and the conversations were less than important. It was fun, but Jolt already has something set up over there for a fun spamm forum.
