Public Announcement.

**iRovster** · 10-17-2009, 08:43 PM

This is a public announcement. It is needed for several reasons. Read onward, young pupils, for knowledge is strength in many variations.

Now, some of you may or may not care about anything I am about to say, but you should care very much. Our little forum-safehaven I like to call Off-Topic is falling apart. Actually, it is in ruins. Our once-golden forum is now crippled, on its last leg. And it is the Off-Topicers fault. You, me, we're all at fault. Day after day, we go further and further, trying to see how much we can get away with. Well, we've met the end of the road and its throwing us off a cliff to our almost-certain and unescapable doom.

I am hereby issuing an order. This order will reform Off Topic to its former glory. But, I can not do this alone. No, I ask you, yes you, veterans of Off-Topic, for your help. You have witnessed Off-Topic in its best of times, and now in its worst. You can blame the newer people for its downfall, but truth is -whether you like it or not - us veterans of Off-Topic have done just as much harm as the newer people.

This order is simple. It's not a demand, but a request. I am asking you all - Veterans and Newbies of Off-Topic alike - come together. Be Off-Topicers again. There should be no need for 1st generation, second generation, third generation, Et Cetera. We are all a family. We are all under one forum, and whether we like it or not, most of us are here to stay. So, I ask you, drop your generations, and come together as one forum once more. Become a family once again.

Stop the spam, the nudity, the obscene language, the trolling, the flaming, stop the nonsense. Put an end to the destruction of our O-So-Beloved forum. Please, for the sake off us Off-Topicers, give it a rest. As FoxyBunny once stated, we used to be self moderated. And I plan to return us to our former glory by self moderation, once more. So I am asking you, Veterans and Oldtimers of Off Topic, join me in making our forums cleaner. If you want to be part of my soon-to-be-made Self Moderation of OTD team, please, send me a PM. I am not only asking for the help of veterans, but newbies as well.

I come out of my short retirement to help make this forum better. To help you all have easier forum lives, don't let me down.

I agree 100% with this post.
I may have only been posting on OTD for a month or so, but i have
read the posts every once in a while since May. I have indeed
noticed the change. More spam. People trying to see how far they can
go without getting banned. People making second accounts just to
spam others. In my opinion, this needs to be stopped. Everyone
complains about OTD not being the same. I think we should all stop
complaining and do something about it.
