After countless warnings, and reminders, I'm still seeing the same crap in here, flame wars, attacks on SK6, and much more. This forum has become the biggest pain in the ass of all the forums I've ever dealt with so I'm closing it for a month to see if I can get the message across.
Come back May 20th...or don't...many of you will not be missed.
Edit: Apparently there needs to be some further explanation.
There are two problems.
1. There are a LOT of people acting up in this forum, and a lot of it is not necessarily enough to ban them, but combined it makes everyone look bad.
2. Banning doesn't really work. In fact most times it makes things worse. Once someone is banned, they complain to me for a few days, then they start registering new usernames and posting porn, and racist remarks, and tons of other crap.
I'm sorry, I know this is a real inconvenience to a lot of you guys who do know how to co-exist, but it needs to be done to send a message that I'm not going to tolerate people acting like that when they're guests here.
This forum is a privilege. The ad revenue on this site barely pays the bills, and I'm not about to put myself, or the volunteer mods through a ton of grief over one forum just because some of you don't appreciate having a place to come together.
Hopefully this is clear now.
