I can't wait to see what Tai has to say once she comes back from her (presumably) pot and Adventure Time binge.

--- Quote from: Emperor Norton on 19 Jun 2012, 11:43 ---My opinion of the worst part of the forum history (the breakup arc):
(my background with the forum first for perspective: I was a lurker for a long time, then, when I went to register, it happened to be during the time the mail server was misconfigured. I then continued to just lurk the forums, until finally I was able to register when the registration mail was fixed)
Normally, people trickle into a forum at a slow pace. As they slowly trickle in, they adjust to the existing atmosphere because they are a massive minority on the forum (people not yet acclimated).
But, with the large buildup of people who wanted to join, but were unable to (which by the way built up some huge annoyance, I was pretty annoyed about it myself, especially when I had sent several emails and such about it and was never even justified a response. I'm not reactionary though, so all I did was go, eh, whatever and move on with my life) coming in all at once, the atmosphere of the forum was somewhat chaotic due to the lower ratio of older members to new members than a forum usually has.
There wasn't an atmosphere for people to conform to like there was before and after that period in time.
Combine that with the older members getting very comfortable with a closed system, the moderation in this part of the forum being nearly nonexistent, and the arc that was going on in the comic at the time, and its really rather surprising it wasn't worse than it was.
I really don't even think of it as being about terrible people so much as a shit situation created by a lot of little factors added together to create a large problem.

Ah, the break up arc. I joined around then. It was chaos, brutal and stunning. Wow...just wow. And the amount of replies that would come up as you were posting just one sentence. Or if you went to sleep, woke up the next morning and there the 10(!) pages added overnight, over 500 posts in a few hours!
Seriously, hats off to the mods for dealing with that madness calmly and intelligently.

rabidcentipede:
Wow. I have to say... I joined the forum back in mid-2007, and posted for a little bit, but soon forgot about it. I've been reading the comic ever since, and just now decided to check out the forums again. It seems like some serious stuff went down, huh?
I do particularly like the most recent strip though. I was hoping that the whole intern storyline would go somewhere amusing, and this was quite enjoyable.
St.Clair:
Now that is all genuinely useful and important information. And he thought he wasn't qualified!
