     You made your point.  
Ok, this forum is a huge mess right now. We understand that there are some people who intentionally or (simply due to their inability to rationally comprehend a stupid post while typing one themselves) post random/worthless things all over the forum. It is not fair to those who don't do so, and have to get their eyeballs dried out by looking at the forum. You made your point. It's been 2 days already. Could we just delete the posts now and just lock them?

Yes please. I hate having to scroll past the crap every time I click on general. You guys are great mods/people an all, but your trying way to hard.

I agree somewhat. Any thread that's been like this has been locked, and yes it does get annoying. But, it's needed at this point-at least for now.

Lets stick to the subject. And he's probably a person who's trying to impersonate Nova by pretending to be his alt.

All pain killers can be used as cocaine. Just crush the tablet up into powder and enjoy.

I agree, it is impossible to stop people from posting supid topics.

Ever though of what the mods are there for...hmmm.

This forum is dead. It's been declining for a long time. First it hit rock bottom, then rose up again. Now its all the way at the bottom, and it has no chance to come back up. The mods are corrupt, most of the users are stupid little kids. Only a few good mods remain now, and they're not doing anything to help. This forum is pathetic.

Some of that decline is because of Gossamer. It's time for a change.

Jesus Christ, Folks.

EVERYONE here can identify that this forum sucks. Everyone knows it. Saying it again won't win you the hero cookie. Most people have been twiddling there thumbs, and jumping at every chance to make a this forum sucks post. So, since we all SO astute and realized that this forum sucks, what are we going to do about it! We need to do something for stuff to change. Taz and Athrin tried to change this forum and now you are all up in arms about it! Make up your minds, get your mouth off the suck stick and handle the [Expletive Deleted]ing change.

bye.

Not really. Have you seen the General Forum lately? It's mostly because the mods are messing around, or some certain mods. I'm not gonna point any fingers, but they better get their acts straight.

Edit: Nvm. Not the place.

Edit: Another reason I see why FGF is declining. We critize eachother on every friggen thing we post. (I'm not refering to this thread). People make mistakes, nobody's perfect. Shit happens. Don't make a scene about it.

Wha...Gossamer has nothing to do with the people. The point that we're trying to get at here is that the people suck. They can't make good posts. They make threads suck simply by starting them. No one mentioned Gossamer; it may suck and all, but it has no impact on our posts.

There is no point debating moderators. It will only start a flame and get this thread locked. The reason this forum is dying is because people are ignorant and frankly don't give a shit. All the rules are being waved. A forum is a place to have fun. But with all pleasure comes a price. You can't have fun and keep joking around all the time. There are times when its ok to be funny and then there are times to be serious and try to solve problems.

Unfortunately, nobody here cares. They spam and goof off all the time and expect for everything to be ok. I disagree with the way Athrin and TazG are dealing with the problems. The reason the forum is declining is because slowly the rules are disintegrate. Cussing is not allowed. Nobody cares however. Delete all the stickies. Create 1 sticky with all the rules. No humor. Rules must be stated in a formal manner with proper grammar used. Then enforce them. When somebody like Nova is going out of control then warn him. If he continues then just ban them for a day, two days etc until they leave or learn to behave.

Work and entertainment must be balanced. When there is one more than the other then problems occur. Such as this . Jammer needs to get back on and write some guidelines for this forum and all the mods, vets, and lower class inferiors.

Mods can't enforce the rules if they don't abide by them because mods flame.

Well obviously, that's not going to well here.

*edits post*

That kind of was unrelated to the subject, so I'm going to refrain from the topic. That has to do deal with other issues not disscussed here now that I look it over. It was more about the declining and not having hope, rather than are posting disabillities.

Attacking the Person
(argumentum ad hominem)

Definition:

The person presenting an argument is attacked instead of the argument itself. This takes many forms. For example, the person's character, nationality or religion may be attacked. Alternatively, it may be pointed out that a person stands to gain from a favourable outcome. Or, finally, a person may be attacked by association, or by the company he keeps.

There are three major forms of Attacking the Person:
1. ad hominem (abusive): instead of attacking an assertion, the argument attacks the person who made the assertion.
2. ad hominem (circumstantial): instead of attacking an assertion the author points to the relationship between the person making the assertion and the person's circumstances.
3. ad hominem (tu quoque): this form of attack on the person notes that a person does not practise what he
preaches.

Examples:

1. You may argue that God doesn't exist, but you are just following a fad. (ad hominem abusive)
2. We should discount what Premier Klein says about taxation because he won't be hurt by the increase. (ad hominem circumstantial)
3. We should disregard Share B.C.'s argument because they are being funded by the logging industry. (ad hominem circumstantial)
4. You say I shouldn't drink, but you haven't been sober for more than a year. (ad hominem tu quoque)

Proof:

Identify the attack and show that the character or circumstances of the person has nothing to do with the truth or falsity of the proposition being defended.

Latley I have been coming upon FGF. The reason I do not post is because there is nothing worth posting on. The post quality sucks. That is one of the reasons Taz is doing this. I am not going to argue further seeing as I promised myself that I would only post on wortwhile threads. This seems worthwhile.

Haha

This explains my two-day absence as well. I knew I wouldn't miss anything as nothing ever happens anymore.
