It wasn't aimed at you specifically. Rebekah Send a noteboard - 24/11/2011 10:10:05 AM
1) Buy a premium account so Ben can continue to pay for the server.

I will not pay over $20 for something that I get at other boards for free.

That's the thing. Everyone begged for someone to do something to keep wotmania's community alive in some form, and then when Ben steps up to the plate, puts in a fuck load of work, no-one wants to pay to make sure it remains. I really hate that. Annoys the hell out of me and I don't think it's fair.

Ben has to do something to encourage people to buy the premies, and one of those things is offering functionality that people want - for a price. It's fair enough. If he doesn't pay for the server the site dies. If that's what people want then fine, don't pay. However, if people want this community to stay alive then why should they not contribute? What's $20 per year?

2) Block the Politics category, if you don't want to see it, or any other category that annoys you.

I think you missed the thrust of my post.

Nah, this was more of a response to the constant whining that a select few make.

3) Post something interesting and different instead of whining about how boring it all is on the Board.

I wouldn't know about posting anything interesting and different, or at least anything that gets a response from the people I reference in other posts ;)

I'm pregnant. I forget things. :|

4) Get involved more - look around the Boards, share things that interest you.

Uh...uh...something tells me launching a squirrel invasion will not be all that popular here.

I dunno. People here are kerazy.

After all, isn't that what it's all about?

Nope. It was an admonishment more than anything else.

I suspect that if you want to admonish certain people you need to be more bald about it. Hints hardly ever work.

/Survey: If this place had a separate politics board like several other sites do, what would happen? Larry - 23/11/2011 10:53:33 PM 759 Views
I wouldn't check that board, that's what would happen ironclad - 23/11/2011 11:41:47 PM 499 Views
Same here Larry - 24/11/2011 01:38:53 AM 439 Views
Agreed *NM* Two Wongs - 27/11/2011 10:17:19 AM 221 Views
Political Board = Chat Drama x 9000 *NM* Great Lord of Chaos - 24/11/2011 12:13:58 AM 257 Views
I doubt that very much. Joel - 24/11/2011 01:17:07 AM 472 Views
Which is pretty much my point Larry - 24/11/2011 01:40:09 AM 499 Views
I remain unconvinced a few voices can drown out the rest in an internet environment. Joel - 25/11/2011 12:41:05 AM 664 Views
...said the person with the highest post count on the site. *NM* Ghavrel - 27/11/2011 10:30:49 AM 213 Views
Which changes what, exactly? Joel - 27/11/2011 12:05:45 PM 527 Views
the problem with the chat drama is spilled over into everything else random thoughts - 28/11/2011 05:47:14 PM 444 Views
All the political crap would go there, like it does on those other sites. Joel - 24/11/2011 01:09:11 AM 479 Views
Perhaps some might feel more comfortable posting if it were separate? Larry - 24/11/2011 01:41:15 AM 452 Views
I'd be interested in CMB again. Ghavrel - 24/11/2011 01:47:00 AM 472 Views
Probably the easiest solution is to have a filter instead, save the new board for a "Writers Board" Isaac - 24/11/2011 06:47:33 AM 512 Views
Perhaps Larry - 24/11/2011 09:25:40 AM 465 Views
There are actually a number of simple and effective solutions if this really bugs people Isaac - 24/11/2011 06:35:33 PM 609 Views
There is a reason we are seeing so much complaining about politics form certain people random thoughts - 28/11/2011 05:44:22 PM 439 Views
You're adorable. You're also pretty new to the site, as I recall. Ghavrel - 29/11/2011 12:41:03 AM 403 Views
yes I was refering to you random thoughts - 29/11/2011 12:37:34 PM 426 Views
Then you should know there are fewer conservatives on the site now. Ghavrel - 30/11/2011 03:41:10 AM 420 Views
That's arguably flawed reasoning, there's apparently considerably fewer posters overall now Isaac - 30/11/2011 05:24:28 AM 439 Views
To a certain extent. But the site's left lost LiterateDog and Chorabliss. Ghavrel - 30/11/2011 09:15:29 AM 510 Views
I know you didn't study math but look up the word percentage random thoughts - 30/11/2011 03:12:44 PM 447 Views
Charming as ever. Ghavrel - 30/11/2011 05:10:27 PM 430 Views
If people want to keep the place alive and interesting for themselves then they can do these things: Rebekah - 24/11/2011 08:51:11 AM 555 Views
The first is no option at all Larry - 24/11/2011 09:24:24 AM 486 Views

Writing past 3 AM is not going to lead to clear connections, sometimes Larry - 24/11/2011 10:22:34 AM 562 Views

I think ... Nate - 25/11/2011 10:46:48 PM 498 Views
there would be so little traffic on the community board that you could shut it down random thoughts - 28/11/2011 05:20:10 PM 423 Views
The point was to remind people that they aren't posting much Larry - 28/11/2011 07:00:01 PM 431 Views
