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 was a thread with a changing topic, basically like a chat room. I would link you to it, but it got deleted for some reason...


No wonder so many of you slipped near a thousand posts.

Then lets start it again!

I feel like the old guy with no friends all the time, just popping in and out to correct/scold rookies, cuz as I have stated, all my friends are gone or banned.

Talk to me then, even though we were once at loggerheads. Just I hope your maturing process is true.

Anyway, as for TTICA, we're not sure why it got deleted.

This Thread Is Currently About *Random*.

It thought it just was locked.

It used to be better community and respect for the rules. Now many users don't care about using profanity.

Deleted. Try searching for it. As far as I know the mods didn't do it.

Always been that way, and not all words censored are profanities. The word R A P E is censored for example. Anyway, I don't see profanities much on the Forums...do you mean on walls?

Really? O.o That's weird, I thought it was just locked.


Ghost, Kyozou and Knight had their post count slashed by near a thousand, I'm guessing it came from there. Also, I think someone mentioned earlier in the thread about it being deleted.

Well maybe if it just doesn't derail, we can start a new one. Or maybe they want it under forum games, but I hope not.

Bad idea, considering the IQ level of most of the new users.

Ouch... That's too bad.

I remember going to the TTICA and it being locked. Maybe it got locked at first and then deleted?


Check out...I forgot who's page it was. Ghosts? He and Cen were discussing it and Cen mooted the possibility that the admins touched a wrong button.

No, it was just locked, it got deleted a few hours ago. I logged off last night with 7,077 posts and logged on at 7 AM and had 6,484.

As for AG, I wasn't here for the "golden age", but I did like this site more November of '10 to January '11, just seemed better to me at those times. Now this forum is pretty inactive and the threads don't interest me anymore.

1. I don't know what happened to the thread. I asked the others, we will see if it was them or the server having a hiccup or the admins doing stuff or something.
2. I doubt any of us mods would allow the thread to be remade, as such a thread obviously needs to be heavily moderated to run smoothly, and none of us would want to be the one getting the short straw and looking after something that is basically a chat.
3. You are starting to drift offtopic a bit, and the replies are getting shorter. Are you all going to act like newbies? :P

Anyone remember that AG news... thread Fst6 had running a while back? With the interviews and user of the week and what not? It seemed to act a bit like an archive, since our resident archiver likes procrastinating the archives.

Forgive us Cen, sometimes us old geezers run out of breath. :P

Bummer, do I. Pain in the neck getting it out each week. Also, who is our resident archiver?

Perhaps 2 or 3 mods taking shifts? Ugh I don't know, maybe it's not the best idea to keep it running, considering how much spam is on the regular posts these days, that would be chaos on a chat-like thread.

Never! D:

It rings a bell, when was it open/active?
