Kill RNF, it's a farce

[Labyrrinth]

Just get rid of RnF ... this forum is farce. It's obviously no longer a place to rant, to flame, or to bitch, it's now a forum that's so heavily moderated it may as well be general chat.

And speaking of ads, this server while once fun is now nothing but a conduit for cash, evidenced by the "non" banning of certain RMTers and their affiliation with certain server "staff" all while the banning of people who are ranting is rampant (with a very thinly veiled "mod" whining of "it's against the rules to say that!!") The server is slowly but steadily going to hell.

Add insult to injury with a new forum moderator who possesses visions of adequacy.

Oh joy.

How fun.

yay.

HINT TO NEW MODERATOR: hiding, prohibiting, not allowing things YOU don't want to hear will kill the forums. People come to forums for info.. sure.. but they also come for entertainment. Without trolls, controversy, and things to bitch about they will find another place to go... they won't talk here and the forums will slowly fade away. Check out your metrics ( oh wait you can't, ask a dev to do that for you, provided they have them installed....)

So who could this new moderator be? I know someone knows :)

Maybe they need donations to support the extra bandwidth from all the RnF people going over there!;)

The internet, where everyone thinks their voice should be heard, no matter how many rules are broken in the process.

Props to TMO for pulling the plug on their boards. That shit looked like it was made in geocities sitebuilder circa 1996.

Yes, the default skin looks like crap with all the "blinkies". Change it in your user control panel. (when it's back up)

I can almost assure you this is actually the exact reason the population is so low. New players don't want to deal with all of this insignificant and childish drama and bullshit, old players want new content. No one's happy.

TMO site is down from all the traffic diverting.. should be back up soon keep clicking kids!!

its actually our old site from 1999 its for the classic feel and nostalgia

..New players don't want to deal with all of this insignificant and childish drama and bullshit....

If it's forum drama you are referring to, people have the option to opt out of RnF. If they are reading RnF (RANTS and FLAMES) and then bitching about it because they don't want to "deal with all of this insignificant and childish drama and bullshit", then who is at fault?

ya, sorry. I'm kinda the laziest admin ever. It's fixed now.

btw, ohai.

These forums, it seems, are a vehicle for all the petulant children of P99 to beat their chests because they get pissed off when something they don't like happens and feel super entitled regardless of the fact that this is a free server with unpaid volunteers.

To address the original point, and what Rainbowdash said in reply, there's a sticky right there that says to shut the fuck up about GM decisions. If RnF doesn't at least get moderated to enforce this, it'll trickle into Server chat, and then new players are dunked headfirst into bullshit. And who wants to be dunked into bullshit?

Those who start threads about GM decisions when there is a sticky at the top of the forums saying not to are the ones at fault.
