to moderators, since you claim the reason why all of the "pointless spam threads are gone" is because they are wasting bandwidth, then when we move to jolt will all of the rulings still stand?

If this is true, then yes we were lied to. I guess you get what you pay for. Free game = thier rules = players have no say. I love it here, but some of the fun seems to be going away....

until NS2, when we're having to pay, then maybe we'll get some say in what happens in the forums. and i would bet good money that all of the original mods from NS1 wont have to pay at all.

NS1 isn't going to be discontinued after the creation of NS2. It will continue to exist and, more importantly, continue to be free.

i have been lead to believe we will have servers, as in more than one.
and each of them will be better than the current crappy server. so why cant you mods relax and let us have fun as long as it is in a single forum perhaps?

I think that it is going to come down to this, no matter how well thought out your arguements are, no matter how passionate you are with your desire, no matter how many contridictions there may be in the ruling, the ruling will stand. You see, on this board there is no real way to for the players to make a change. That , I suppose, is just the way that it is. Do not mistake this for a general complaint about the state of the forum, rather it is the simple truth.
I do not think it is fair to blame the mods (they are unpaid infact), they are but following orders from on high, and not making this ruling themselves.

Do I miss Forum 7 ? Yes. It's absence is one of the main reasons why I have not been playing much of late.

Will I miss the word games ? Hell yes. They filled my down time with much humor and fun.

Will I miss the quote pyramids ? Oddly enough, I will not. I know that they began my most famous play time (Temple of the Mods/Where are our magical powers)

Just remember the good times that we had, as the discussions of politics, religion, and sexuality take over the forum. Remember the good times, and find what solice you can in the threads that are still allowed, find a good tavern thread and relax for a bit.

AHRPTNM !!!!

Lather, rinse, release.

If it's meant for debate than why were the "arguments against the forum ban" split?

Isn't the purpose of creating a thread to generate discussion and debate, which is exactly what we gave. Or are the mods against a little debate?
