Jokes should go in the Misc/Off Topic section, not the Opera. That is all.

I read the pinned section and now I would like to compare notes. smile.gif

You tell me what you believe it means and then I will tell you what I believe it means and maybe we could clear up any misconceptions everyone might have concerning this piece of forum real estate.

The whole purpose of this section is for the drama that goes on in the world of online gaming. Look at the threads that were originally in the forum before someone who didn't know any better started posting jokes. This section is where all the drama with BSS would go. That is the sole purpose of this forum, no matter what you think it is for.

Well, I must say that I mis-understood what this forums' purpose was originally intended for. Thanks for setting me straight!

However, I did go back through and read alot of the topics and got a good overview of why this forum was set up and how this clan has evolved, in my opinion, beyond the need for such a forum and how this is a wasted space that should be used for more constructive purposes.

The opera forum was established for members of this clan and other clans to have a place in which to argue points of interests. Usually, this involved alot of name calling, bad language and eventually led to the banning and trolling of all participants that were't MOB members. Therefore, it is a useless forum as the end result is MOB only reading this stuff, since everyone else has been removed. Now, we could post stuff about >BsS< here as was suggested, however, they are all banned and could not respond. Again, sort of pointless, don't you think? Besides, do we really want them reading what we have to say here, fueling the fire and promoting more false member accounts and reasons to post crap in our forums? I think not!

This forum is viewable by the public and allows people to look at the "dirty laundry", if you will, of yester-year. Since we do not normally invite fights and degrading conversation with other clans, as may have been the custom back in the MOHAA days, to monopolize our forums and certainly not in a public forum, I would submit to you that this space could be used to share funny stories, jokes and snippets of humorous information that we would enjoy reading and would project a much more positive image than the status quo.

Quite obviously this is what is happening as a natural process of "forum evolution" as we speak.

So, while I certainly apologize for posting a joke in the Opera section, I believe that the need for the Opera section has passed and I, for one, would support a change of forum content within this area of MOB's communication center.

What BLK is saying is that There is already a forum for jokes : Miscellaneous / Off Topic & this forum has been a place where the drama filled posts have occured and been archived for years now. Whether you think it is healthy or a good thing for the posts in this forum to have occured in the first place is irrelevant, it is MOB history and provides an entertaining read now and then.

This section used to be a place where one would only post if he had some controversial information that could lead to an enjoyable disagreement for all.

So you guys actually enjoy the banter between MOB and BsS?

I personally, took pride in NOT banning people from the forums unless there were extenuating circumstances. This was always a place where ANYONE could speak their mind about ANYTHING without worrying about being banned. Yes, of course there were a few who were banned, some repeatedly, but I guarantee that:
1. They were banned for being completely annoying (ie: spamming the forum).
2. They had ALOT of warning before they were banned.

In fact, a few bans were done by a vote of the forum community.

If you've read through the posts as you say you did, you saw that.

BSS was just an example. Hell I went back just the other day and read a good number of those old posts that are in this section. To some of us older guys (and some people have been around a lot longer then me), this section represents a part of MOB's past, and it's something that doesn't need to be changed. If you think this section should just be for posting jokes and what not from now on, I say archive the forum and delete the posts that are irrelevant to this section.
)--S@B0T-->
I can certainly respect that. How about moving all this "history" down to the Mohaa read only archive area, soz this upper area of the forums could remain for active, current information. That way, you can leaf through the history books when you like and no one will post jokes or any other current stuff in your memories.

The opera forum, while very nice and everything, is not used for it's original, intended purpose any longer. That is my point. I don't want to see your memories taken away, or the founding fathers threads on how to get vent to work on a Mac or how some clan was/is full of pussies, etc. get tossed aside as if they are worthless. I think we should preserve these archived treasures for all to see in an area of the forums that would accomodate them and our needs. I don't wanna lose them.

Obviously peeps are looking to post some things in other areas of our forums so they get the attention they feel their topics deserve. What I'm suggesting is to possibly arrange our information to mirror a library, all the current information is right up front and all the "for reference only" and history is in the back.

What is wrong with still using this forum for what it originally was for? If I go to some clans server and get banned for some reason like hacking, you can bet your ass this is where it is going to go. The reason why this forum is no longer used for its original is because Spartan's dumb ass started posting shit in here. Flatliner was actually the first, but it was moved probably by Druid months ago when it was posted. This forum needs to stay, and keep its original purpose.
flatliner
My bad.
blk96gt
Next time it happens you will be stripped naked and flogged.
flatliner
I am always naked, and half flogged all the time

and STOP MAKING JOKES!!!!!



I would also like to mention, if you notice my first post into this area of the forums, you will see just whom I am mixing it up with.... yes. they are now BsS members... Just because I can see the future does not give anyone the permission to judge me. Its all good.

Crazy Canuck
well i can understand your desire to keep this thread for drama only, and i don't see any reason jokes can't be posted somewhere else. hopefully there won't be much drama and this thread will get little use, however it will be here if needed. I don't see the need to curse someone for a simple mistake however, i'm sure spartans posting of jokes was to entertain, not aggrevate! anyway, i guess it will be up to the admins to free the drama room of the upbeat humour.



Back to the lighter side! smile.gif

I blame Canada.
-priority(+)target-
For the love of Molson Canadian, saturday night hockey and back bacon.. first you think we should castrate the forum of humor and then blame canada? You have gone too far my cousin lovin, jerry springer watchin, super sizin yank buddy! How would we know if it is sarcasm or real humor? What if you moved a sarcastic posting that was actually drama not humor to the jokes posting? What then, everybody laughin at a drama? Dogs and cats living together is what you want...

Now that is funny and drama.

But really, this is for BS drama. Not that I care, but it is. Just saying. Hell, next time I get drunk, I'm gonna move all the joke posts, just to make my point. Or Blk's point. It will be a point!

Now, make jokes in the appropriate area. That's why there isn't just one place to post

What is wrong with still using this forum for what it originally was for?

Absolutely nothing at all. But, it wasn't being used, except to house some "history", so a few peeps started posting other threads here to use the space....sorry for the confusion and I am glad we have it all worked out now. Again, I apologize for being the straw that broke the virtual camels back, as it were.

Now, with that said I think we should move all the humorous, current, posts out of this sacred place. I have summoned a Shaman Priest to come in and heal the damage done, to ward off the evil spirits of current events and to forever sanctify this place as Holy Ground. I also called in a Catholic Priest, a Rabbi, a Muslim Cleric, a Buddhist, and two Hare Krishna followers, one to oversee the exorcism and the other to hand out flowers and ask for donations, just in case the Shaman might have missed something. I didn't invite any Mormons as we all know how badly that has gone in the past. (no intent to offend here) With that, I hope you can forgive my trespasses here and I shall not return to darken the doorstep of this hallowed thread we call the Opera.

Everyone please join the incantation to finalize the ceremony.

"Rest, Oh ye spirits of the unmoving and unwilling to change. Keep thy self rigid and steadfast in thy manner and unmoving in thy minds. Remain as statues, unyielding in presence of the changing winds and tides. We ask the mighty gaming Gods to keep and hold this place as sacred sanctuary preserving the writings of our forefathers, so they may receive unto them the word of {MOB}. Cast out the demon soldiers and condemn their souls to burn, eternal, for their unholy writings of humor. Be gone! Be gone, you demons! We cast you out! Go now, to be forever imprisoned to Miscellaneous/Off Topic where thou shalt be judged according to the testaments of {MOB}. We cast you out in the name of the monitor, the keyboard and the holy mouse, forevermore, amen!"

Go now and may peace be with you as you walk upon this cleansed ground. It is written!

Why is it that everytime someone Misunderstands something They get Insulted? I think that was a little much. mellow.gif

P.S,
All my posts are based in the Miscalanious section of the forum and always have been but lately I noticed jokes in Opera and Started posting there. Which btw The only 2 I've Posted Were moved out of there. I see no need to have started this topic. 353.gif
blk96gt
Why is It That You randomly capitalize the first letter Of some Words?

EDIT:
They were moved because of this topic, and you had way more then just two in this forum. You were the first one besides Flatliner(as I've already stated) to ever post a joke in here. Flatliners was moved right after he did it. If you would have read this thread when I made it you would have seen that. This topic has been over with for a while, so just drop it.

Its kinda a strange thing I do. I did Read Your post. I understood It, I'm Not Arguing, I'm only saying that that was a little out of line.
