So, for all who didn't notice, the SPA is, as of this writing, officially dead. Stabbed in the back, stepped on, and spat on in the end, without notice, as it attempted to reinvigorate itself, find itself a new name, and bring in new people. So terribly did it fail, that its second chance was nay but pointless. It was already in the gutter, and it was finally put to rest.

Let us give a moment of silence.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Okay, so, it didn't go the way I wanted, nor the way it should have in the MoFo, with some sort of bang. SPA day was one thing, but what I could have tried to pull off with the SPL going out could have been better. Unfortunately, the powers that be had other ideas and went with a popular vote, and it was end of discussions--- in the middle of them. Which sucked. Whatever, so be it.

With this, come some changes. As of this writing, I believe this to be a final move, so this may change, I'm unsure. For now:

  • General discussions, fun stuff, silliness, and all-around craziness applies to MFC. [*]Games are okay in MFC. If it gets overly abundant, we will start weeding out the dead game topics with low activity. Large games that stayed active for a long period of time then die out, will obviously be an exception. Those will either stay, or just be moved to some sort of archived board. Seeing as MFC2/Ladies Lounge is no longer in the directory, I take it that there is no yet determined viewable archive board. [*]Silliness/craziness will be a case by case basis. 99% of the time, though, it'll be bad spam and obsessive spamming that will be deleted/moved to the MoFo's trash can. Determining what bad spam and good spam is practically already in the ruleset. No constant one liners, no image threads or constant image replies, no constant YouTube threads/replies, you get the general idea. Continuous attempts at spammy fun threads that fail will lead to us asking you to just stop. Cuz you suck. Or at least slow down. [*]The lack of SPA does not authorize you to go crazy in MFC or any other board in the MoFo like you used to do in SPA! [/list:u:859ebe9f7e]And that's pretty much that. If things change, we'll (hopefully) note it here.

Better to have George Lighthead to shoot Lennie the spa in the back of the head then to allow the mob to suffer a painful and drawn out death at the hands of Curley's Jin's lynch mob.

...not that I mind the SPA being gone but can I get a reason why, perhaps?

No-one was satisfied with the kind of spam they had in there. Yes, that is the true reason. For the record, that Rico's Closet forum is pretty zany, you guys.

I'd be lying if I said I was upset. Still, I can't help but feel that if it had been monitered more closely, and certain people hadn't been allowed the free reign they had, the SPA would still probably be here.

It's a little depressing, though, when I remember all the good threads that the SPA once had. I owe the majority of my all post counts to it.

No Shifty, it was more than that. Bad spam, lack of control, lack of rule, lack of any outline as to what the SPA should have been.

All good things must end. And then there's the SPA.

No, you took my only joy in life, Word Uno, last letter game all gone! Noooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm kiddy about the only joy part, but I am gonna miss the threads I listed. When they were really active, they composed most of my posts, and still did as a matter of fact. I even had to limit myself on posting there when I got close to my Super Rayzor's kiloposts, as I really didn't watch the post on the FMR account.

Hey man, I posted OT remarks in the Word Uno and last letter game topics from time to time!

P.S.: I know there's all kinds of love, I was just clarifying that it isn't gay love. It's the love that comes from friendship, fellow comrade!

Says the guy who has to implicitly state that he, in fact, is not gay.

Repeatedly.

Not that there would be anything wrong with that, if you were!

I'm just saying... it'll be okay if you were, really!

... not that you are!

After all, lots of men overcompensate.

Doesn't necessarily mean you do, right!?

So, just because you're always talking about "hitting that" or proclaiming "damn she's hot"...

... in every other topic...

... in a very bold and forthright manner...

... doesn't mean anything!

...so would this count as useful spam or useless spam?

Thanks mods/admins for the explanation.

I think that a good portion of the second half of this page is bad spam.

It's exactly the thing that caused the SPA to get shut down in the first place.

Also, there's nothing stopping anyone from reviving Word Uno and its bretheren here. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the first incarnations of those threads were born in MFC. But if someone does restart any of them, there needs to be a mod present to keep them in line. And for heaven's sake, don't let people get away with the things they did in the SPA.

If their logic with the robot museum is that it never get traffic. Shouldn't the StC forum go bye bye too? 😮

The last time I looked it had. I'm not shocked or even uncomfortable with where it's been merged with - I'd just've liked someone to say something before doing it...

Well, it does say that the Special Zone is a community archive; however, unlike SPA, MFC2, and MMHQ, I can click "Make a New Topic" and not get the unauthorized screen.

Wow. That totally doesn't sound familiar...

Yes yes, god yes please, post your games here. No one's going to stop you. As I said, it's the dead games that we will weed out and threadkill, and if they are to become an overabundance, I'll give the beatdown to the douchebags overpopulating the board with games on purpose - aka spamming the board with games.

As for the spam, yes, half of this thread is spam, but it's the fun type, and it's not overtaking the thread. It's also not the topic starter. Again, some stuff is okay, some stuff is not.

For example, Rishi:


HOMOPHOBE!

NOT cool.

lolis > shotas

Also it's not cool to insinuate that "lolis" are cool. Whether or not it's in a joking manner, or talking about anime, or whatever, it is not cool to talk about it here. At all. This board has strived with certain rules in tact and god dammit one of the main ones that I will always try and enforce is any sort of porn-like discussion. Innuendo jokes are one thing, but "loli's"... well, look it up if you don't know what it means, but I don't want to see that crap talked about or hinted at or anything on this board and the entire forum. Not only is it childish, it's freakin' sick and just doesn't belong here. Yes, yes, I know. I'm the last person to call "PERVERT" out to anyone, but god dammit, even I have my limits and I always, always censor and limit myself to just tongue-in-cheek humor. There is a huge difference. I will respect that about this board to the bitter end if I freakin' have to.

In other words, Rish, don't do that again. Fanaralalelogram or whatever your name is, too. That goes for anyone, as I know there are others in here who like to joke around with that bullcrap. I don't care what the argument is, it is not cool here. Period.

There's nothing wrong with being funny and serious at the same time, sometimes. For example, I love the fact that you keep bringing that up. It's freakin' AWESOME.

Also, don't do it again or you're banned.

SEE?! Isn't that HILLARIOUS?!

I've still been wondering how Jin got his Powas. I don't have much to go on, but I'm going to keep searching till I find the answer, and/or am bribed to stop looking for the answer.
