I like the idea. There is a large number of worthy people. Around thirty-five or more I suppose. It would be like living in a large bomb shelter.

Yeah, that would be awesome. To many babbling spammers.
 
I have resurected this thread because I fear that the evil that caused the prophecy has returned.

Well I was bored so I decided to look and see whats going on in the general board and I didn't like what I saw: All the threads that I saw were about stuff thats been talked about like 5 gazzillion times in the past or really boring stuff that only barely has anything to do with HL.

So I thought to myself, maybe the evil in the prophecy has returned after being slain by the moderators, and now its taken on a different form, a form in which the moderators are but helpless to stop!

Then I realized something else, when HL2 ships it will be far worse than its ever been before! n00bs will be creating spoiler threads as fast as their tiny 12 year old fingers will let them type and the general forum will become practically off limits to all but the n00bs.

Please calm my fears. Please tell me this will not come to pass.
 
The propchecy will pass, once HL2 comes out, then there wont be a thousand questions about every little thing

As was said last time this was brought up, we need a hero. And a non-infected people only forum sounds like a good idea...

After a great wave of people from somewhere by link, the MB will go into disarray. Spammers will begin to take over the main parts of the MB, most likely the General Forum. Then the General forum will be roped off by the mods and deemed inhabitable by anyone wanting to start a real discussion. Normal members entering the Genral Forum will either disappear or be stricken with a strange form of insanity babbling vulgarities, bludgeoning anything that breathes, and finally suffering an untimely death of full-body explosion. Matching heads with torsos to send home to the folks will become a full-time job. Like a virus the spammers and idiots will spread through out the forum. The Off-Topic forum will be the last place of refuge for the normal members. A great war will break out between the normal members and the spammers. Banning will be used, topic and post deletion will be everywhere, and the smell of what use to be will be stuck in the air. This is the prophecy of message boards.

Question: Is it any good or complete crap? I found this on a different MB and wanted to know what you think.

I think it has some truth.
heh, this already happened here it seems. I joined just before the worst of the madness began, and i haven' t been to general discussion in like months. off topic rocks :p

edit: mitoboy just pointed out to me how old htis topic is and its quite inexplicable to me how it appread on the front page for me. so whatever.
