hmm, I've always found hilarious (herhairyarse) to be a funny word...

I think that some old members could use some killing off.

If yes (truthfully) then I have no argument. If not, then you are undone sir.

Actually, yes. Something Awful is absolutely brutal to people for every mistake they make. Moderator challenges, Goon Rushes, and threadshitting are all commonplace. If you make a mistake, you are banned. Oh, and you have to pay ten bucks to be able to post, which can be revoked for basically any reason a mod feels like. The posters that remain are all quality, top-notch posters, devoid of spelling mistakes and not being funny.

Of course, they take things a lot more strictly than they should, but the theory is solid. Instead of tons of shitty posters, there's fewer but better posters.

EDITED FOR CLARIFICATION: tenbux is for membership, not per-post.

Wow... sounds like a riot... I'm feeling anxious just thinking about it. I would rather abuse myself with a cheese-grater...

I will make a new battle sometime soon. It will be small though, but will introduce some more factions that y'all have not seen yet. Since it's going to be small I hope I won't get burned out from it like I did with Jungle Rampage.

I'm unsure how the whole forum thing works but doesn't driving potential members away hurt the shit out of the potential revenue side of things too?.. How long has this forum been on the go anyway? It could be doing a LOT better.

I think it's doing fine. The detail you're not taking into account is that all revenue from this site is measured in the currency of How Much It Entertains Me Personally Dollars. Some kinds of posts are worth a whole lot more EMP$ than others.

That being said, I do end up deleting a lot of parasite posts and banning a lot of parasites. Some I think are funny, and some get deleted. It's completely subjective.

Ah, a currency I have heretofore been unaware of. Truly you can learn something new every day.

Wait... isn't this just like paying gimps to hit each other with baseball bats or something?.. except you have it on debit account... and they pay you.

by **Rayhawk** » Sun May 24, 2009 9:04 pm

Yes, like that exactly.

Gnarly!.. I think I've just found out what I want to do with my life...
