Then explain to me why posts in Community counts.Originally posted by PLATO
Simple, but all inclusive answer to why posts do not count as +1 in OTF under any circumstances:
THIS IS A GAMING SITE
remember?Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

It's a throwback to days where people used to discuss some gaming site.Comment

What if all the energy and ingenuousness invested in such projects instead went to solving, say, world hunger or AIDS?
Posts count here so people will focus some of their energy on improving the site. Sure, the signal to noise ration isn't 1:0 but thems the breaks.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

I guess the supreme irony in the recent preoccupation with spamming/pc is that I'm cranking up mine by questioning the logic of counting Community posts.
I guestimate that the signal-to-noise ratio is closer to 1:100.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

To enhance the site and to comment on ideas for making the overall experience better. The better the site...the more gamers will want to participate. And who better to discuss those ideas other than the current gamers here.Originally posted by Last Conformist

OTF is a very interesting place to express other facets of the gamers life, but it really doesn't contribute to the site's misson. The Community forum does.
Next question please...

Sounds good, except that the Community forum is dominated by the same spamming crowd as the OTF, pretty much. I mean, this post is unusually releveant to the subject of improving the site than most here.Originally posted by PLATO

The amount of spam in here now though is nothing compared to, say, one year ago, before other games came to the fore.Originally posted by Dauphin
I swear that the Apolyton Community now rots my brain way more than the OT. I'm starting to tend towards the campaign to abandon PCs* altogether.

Actually I'd say it is worse, but its demonstrably not as bad as it could get.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

It's a couple of threads though. The forum as a whole moves much slower than it used to.Comment

I don't agree with you. Brevity is the soul of wit. There is a certain art to expressing oneself in a short and succinct matter. A long post can actually say less than a short one.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

It was a tip o the hat to a recently active new prince...a bit of inside irony in a post about +1s. But, I would be the last one to name him.

On topiq, I thinq only posts with at least six Qs in them should add to our post qount. Any less than that qan only be qonsidered spam.~ If Tehben spits eggs at you, jump on them and throw them back. ~ Eventis ~ Eventis Dungeons & Dragons 6th Age Campaign: Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4: (Unspeakable) Horror on the Hill ~Comment
