    That's fine, but if the mac people post mac stuff in the OT forum it gets flamed by (among others) the same sad case individual who came here and wrecked the forum in the first place.

    That's why this place ended up with mac people discussing mac stuff (including games - I just started a thread on mac-HOI before I saw the "notice").

    This is an ON TOPIC gaming forum... and I see very little games be discussed. I see a TECH forum and a MS bashing forum and a spam forum.
    You see an MS bashing forum because a certain poster invaded it a few weeks ago and started several MS flame wars. Before that it was mainly people asking mac questions, complaining about the lack of PTW for the mac and talking about paradox games.

    There were precious little Apple threads here (except for Panag's endless spamfests) until the mac posters got sick of Asher (mainly) thread-wrecking and came over here.

    And do you really need to ask why the crackdown...
    "SOMEBODY" pointed it out in the community forum.
    And that somebody just wanted it closed down for his own sick reasons.

    I can't believe you fell for it

    And his comments were correct. This forum is being abused... and it will stop.

    Convince the owners a tech forum is needed... so far, nobody has been able to convince them. Maybe because this is a gaming site
    We don't want a tech forum. We would like a forum where we mac using Apolytoners can talk about mac games and occasional other mac stuff without it being trolled, flamed or trivialized.

    The off topic has Mac and Tech threads... there is NO reason why you can't continue these types of discussions there.
    There's a five letter reason. Unless you start banning him for spamming up mac threads with flames, trolls and lies, what's the point.

      Why should people spam there way up to a higher post count in this forum when the OT already provides a place for people to hold these same discussions.
      I'd say Drake just answered that question pretty darn well. Drake!

        Drake is right, Ming. Only one poster used this place for +1's and he doesn't post in it much any more.

          You need to look closer, Ming. Besides panag's explosions of Mac propaganda and the flame wars started by a certain ******* from Calgary, there's actually very little posting that goes on in here. Most of the users are very well behaved and don't abuse the forum to get +1's. It's certainly nothing that some intermittent moderation wouldn't solve, thereby negating the need to destroy the forum completely.

          All you're doing with this action is driving users to Civ Fanatics...
          I did look real close... and I saw very little actual game discussion. This is not meant to be a tech forum, so I have to chuckle at your claims of being behaved and not abusing +1's.

          These kind of threads can and already appear in the OTF... WHERE THEY BELONG. You are the ones that are abusing a dead forum. Using your logic, people could come in and take over any dying on topic forum for religion... sports... whatever. I don't think so. In the past... when people did that... people got restricted.
          I've just deleted/closed some threads, and warned people to stay on topic.
          Keep on Civin'

            I was just having a discussion with him some hour ago, and it was pretty civilized. I have a talent for calming him down.

              I'm sure Ming could look at the threads in this forum if he wanted to, and he'd see I was quite a well-behaved poster while you were the one that came bursting in, stressing out the auto-censor...

                It does leave a bad taste in you mouth, doesn't it? Asher sets out on some vindictive little vendetta against the Mac people and somehow manages to get his way. Makes me lose faith in humanity.

                  Well, if the forum was called "Civ for Christians", I guess I wouldn't be too surprised if some discussions on Jesus sprung up when the Civ news ran dry. Seems like common sense...

                      Can't you read? Haven't you seen what happens to these threads in the OT forum? That's why people post here - because they are sick of the poor moderation of mac related threads in the OT forum - and it is poor.



                      Don't talk to me about logic, your grasp of it is a joke if that's what you believe.

                            No need to get hostile with Ming, guys. He doesn't deserve it and it really doesn't further our cause to gain the ire of a moderator.

                            Save your arrows for the person who was really behind this.

                              Agathon, perhaps you shouldn't be talking right now.

                              Logically, the worst thing you could do right now is start attacking a mod for closing down your spam shop.

                                I love how you guys have been abusing an on topic gaming forum... disrespecting the wishes of the owners of this site... broken site rules...

                                And then post like you guys are in the right here.



                                And whine like stuck pigs... or kids with their hand caught in the cookie jar...



                                Again... feel free to ask the owners for your own personal on topic non gaming forum... and see what their response is. If it's the same as it has always been, the answer will be no.

                                If they change their minds... that's THEIR DECISION TO MAKE... not yours by abusing a dead gaming forum.
