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...

we can atleast attempt to influence them to 'use their powers for good'.


So naive.

Key word being attempt, after all you changed.

Well, there are the Grammar Nazis and the SS.

Never was the word "white" in my sentence.


This sentence contains an inner contradiction.

Well lets make an agenda then.

Step 1: Show the noobs thread quality by posting good ones. Example is the key to learning.

Step 2: Greet new members. Tell them the ways of the old. See if they are interesting in helping change.

Step 3: Aquire $$$$

Step 4: Buy guns

thats all i got so far.

While you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, you can catch them all with a big enough fist.

Naw. That's Step 6. Step 5 is "???"

Anyways, doesn't it feel like we're trying to create a Utopia here? Utopias never really end well, looking back at history...and movies/TV Shows.

Acclaimed Utopias. The idea of perfect means it cannot get better.

All this restoration talk seems like a load of crap to me.

That's because it is. Or at least to me.

No, cookies are. People will do anything for cookies these days.

AG was better when I could actually follow the discussion taking place.

Since this discussion of motivation is turning out to have very little to do with whether or not AG was better before, I decided to move the discussion to a more appropriate place.

Or... We can act like idiots and no new Members will come because they think the site is horrible. We will create a super race... KILL ALL THE NEW MEMBERS!

You guys aren't thinking of ideas outside the box.

And AG has bern like this for a long time. It was always here but always less known.

*10 second silence*

Vets: Too much work...

Vets: Now as I was saying back in my day we didn't have spammers...

Normal members: *groans*

Vets: I'm quitting AG sucks

Normal members: Hey...we need new vets...

And the cycle repeats

That won't work. Look at how many active members Kongregate has.

Wait, so you're saying that the vets have control over whether or not certain parts of the site are restored?
