Here's an idea: how about you stop responding to personal attacks when they're irrelevant to the issue discussed! Would that stop them?

Yeah, I'll just put oggie on ignore and be done with it.

One last time for the record: There are 16 nonpolitical.

The crackdown on spam and general silliness which took place a couple of years ago really killed a lot of the fun for me.

Enough with the personal crap... It seems some people are just demanding to be restricted!

Personal insults are the only thing I have left.

Censorship

My beautiful threads have been deleated by Ming.

**Asher** · October 25, 2006, 15:05

Now you have no evidence!

I think that people will flock back to the OT when there's something interesting to talk about. If another 9/11 occurs, or another war, people will be only too ready to discuss.

Right now, you can't post an opinion which isn't right wing, religious and homophobic without being accused of trolling. That won't last.

Whaleboy, I am offended

**BeBMan** · October 25, 2006, 15:09

I demand more frog threads.

One thing is certain. This thread sparked a mini-Rennaisance of posting here at Apolyton.

Not really he simply did Ming Magic eliminating the spam bumps.

And it's more fact-filled and non-partisan than something I just thought of.

Never knew Oerdin was such a crybaby....sigh...

Spec.

**Ogie Oglethorpe** · October 25, 2006, 15:57

Seriously. I kinda feel bad about it all.

Oerdin's a hack through and through but who gives a rats ass. We all have our own deeply held convictions and that means we all are hacks to some degree or another. He needs to keep posting his political drivel and I wouldn't dream of telling him to stop. If for no other reason than to hear the what the swamp has to say.

Re: Is Apolyton in decline?

Judging by the number of regulars who have left, the lack of new people joining, and the fewer posts per day I'd say Apolyton is declining. Or at least the Off Topic is. Does this matter much to you or make you less interested in posting here?

Personally, I'm thinking this place has lost a lot of the sense of community it once had and now it has just turned into a place where people go to shout at each other. Comments?

Civ4 isn't that active either. Considering an expansion pack was just recently released.
