NationStates Jolt Archive


Wanna hear the secret to getting archived?

Hear it goes: there are two ways to get archived:

1. Suck up to Moderators for days and hundreds of messages, with approximately a 1:2 post to view ratio. Yeah, and make sure that every single message has something to do with how cool Mods are. Don't forget to compliment how awesome Nation States is.

2. Make blinding political commentary in the stupidest fashion ever. Try making it into a game show. Try making it into a talk show. Try making it into a compliment to Mods.

Apparentally anything with actual helpful content (for instance, dragging people away from Japan-o-phelia kicking and screaming) is not good enough for the archives.

This is just asking for it.

I think that thread was not archived because it was merely a chatty thread. I could be wrong but I think a response had already been given.

It did get a response, I'm just remarking that if they think this is not worthy of the archive, they should probably view, for just a few seconds, the crap that's currently in there. It's the most pointless banter ever.

When the Mods make a decision it is not wise to make a thread in general questioning it. Just accept no. I am just saying to save you from trouble. Leave it alone.

But essentially the whole website is pointless banter...

I like pointless banter. it's fun! :D

I'm not retarded. I just don't like being told that I am not worthy of archive status when crap like "UN Justice league", that is a picture of the Justice league and a parrot that the new guy captioned, is not even questioned.

Meh, maybe, but I'd just leave it now anyway

So do threads get archived because someone requests it, or because one of the mods just decides they like it?

The author makes a request then the Mods decide. Sometimes the Mods will just decide. I.E. Enodias resignation thread.

AAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH !!!!! I have had enough of this whining crap !!! For the love of God, if you do not like the rulings that the Mods make, lodge a real complaint. If that does no good, go out and invest the time and money to create a site that suits you better. Then make it so interesting that thousands of people from around the world will want to come play it. Until then STOP WHINING.

If you have a real complaint take it to [Violet], if she says piss off, then piss off and move on. We are not doing anything horribly important here, people. Get over it !!!!


Thank you. I am sorry to explode here.

I don't know. I think it has to have a certain level of absurdity and yet have some form of content. I guess I didn't get absurd enough in it...

i especially like how the SUPER SPAM temple of the mods is in the archive. there are only several phrases repeated over and over in that thread--

I LOVE THE NINJA MOD!!!!

I SACRIFICE THE N00BZ!!!!

PRAY TO THE MODZ!!!!

GIVE US MAGICAL POWERZ!!!!

and...

YAY MODZ LIKE, PWN! MAYBE IF WE TRY HARD ENOUGH, WE CAN BECOME MODZ LIKE THEM!!!!

at least preventing japanaphilia has a purpose and helps people realize the truth about japan and japanese people.

See, that's the problem. We should be encouraging people to continue their stpid unfounded claims that all Japanese women are the most beautiful in the world, without mentioning that these women often have teeth that look like dug up train tracks. From now on, I will only encourage people in self-destructive thoughts. BTW, she officially doesn't love me anymore, and I thinkI'm going to kill myself.
