Hello. While I was exploring AG-based Xats, I've met several unactive/banned/"old-school" AG Users. Most of them said that, one of the main reasons to their inactivity here is that the site was better before.

Is that true?

How better? They say that the threads had more quality back in time.

Well, I can't tell if it was. I joined June 26th, so that's not too much knowledge on our awesome site...

It almost makes me wish for GAGA and Sonam back. Almost


GAGA said hello to me, then promptly told me I could not post on my own about.

Sonam had quite the ego on him. Remember his 'I'm quitting, so lets all write stuff about how sad you are'. lol

Yep. You know what. I forgot I added the fellow on FB ages ago. I retract my statement about wanting him back; He's just as obnoxious.

He seemed like a nice guy if you could get past his 'I am awesome' mentality.

Well at least he didn't do anything malicious.

Wasn't it his ego that got him banned? I can't remember.

Speaking of banned people, anyone seen Floyd's page? Secret mod is secret.

sonam is not banned. This link is proof.

[quote]Whats the point?


Over time it'll make all the subforums better. If people from here make good threads and the majority of which frequenting this thread post in them then it'll bury the spammy threads and probably get people to post more constructive things. It beats complaining about it whenever you get the chance to.[/quote]

That becomes irrelevant if there are too many spammers, but I agree otherwise.

No one will frequent them, or they'll get spammy answers.


Apparently, GhostOfMatrix is more confident in the community than you are. Then again, too many spammers will prove him wrong and you right. However, it is best to try, as there might not be enough spammers to make good threads pointless. Besides, spammers will get banned if they try to defeat the good threads.

Clearly.

The world is not so black and white as you would make it. Nor are we (Matrix and I) focused on so trivial a thing as 'being right'.

I think you must have forgotten something called a temp ban. Anyway, you weren't there when it happened, so the vets forgive you.

It's not like we can ban every new or nooby member and create an "ultimate internet species".

But you can try to make a few threads with decent topics to restore the forums to what they once were. It'll definitely take some time, but it's worth it if you like using the forums and dislike how they are now.

"ultimate internet species"


*cough*Aryan*cough*

I agree with Matrix, while we may not be able to control the newbies, we can atleast attempt to influence them to 'use their powers for good'.
