Star Citizen is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it's fidelity when you look out your window or when you watch youtube

poo poo like what happened today is the only reason I put myself forward as a forum moderator. Beet's heart is in the right place, but he's not been here long enough to truly handle the forum culture. Beer's been here long enough to know better, but he's too forgiving.

I would be the laziest moderator possible, but I would've cracked skulls, and it would've been great. I want to build a wall, and make FYAD pay for it.

We have people baking Christmas cookies now.

Beet, Beer: The hands off approach does really serve this forum well, but, when action is needed you just have to go for it. You serve mod-challenges when people don't quite get it. When people are intentionally trying to gently caress with a forum, you just use your moderator tools.

Hey FAU, i know you are still reading this, but why do we let a group that consists of actual racists just target the forums and rove around it like a gang with their "30-somethings-that-still-want-to-be-teenagers" brand of decade old trolls and concern bullying.

I mean you closed down GBS for way less actual racism and you targeted this thread for being insular, when they are borderline alien. Maybe consider closing down FYAD for awhile, I'm sure the FYAD posters that talk about "Forums comedy" being the goal of closing down other threads and forums they don't like would appreciate their own meltdowns when their giant pink house of intellectual stagnation has to be treated like the rest of the forums.

I know most places on the forums can't just freely post NSFW porn gifs and say whatever they want. I think it's time to bring your brand of unpopular admin decisions down on some place that actually needs it. Talking about Racism or other places "not joining the rest of the forums" sounds like a joke when you ignore FYAD.

Remember FYAD posters, it isn't healthy to purposefully do something you don't like all day every day. There are dozens of subforums with thousands of threads to choose from. Your parents wouldn't want you to develop conditions like hypertension from constantly exposing yourselves to things you don't want to read and loudly making sure everyone knows it.

Yeah I went in there for 5 minutes to get my quotes from the last post and saw a ton of "ironic" racism, hentai, porn and everything else. It's funny in retrospect when FAU comes into this thread saying we need to "Be like the rest of the forums."


Sorry, takedowns from the guy that was triggered because I said "some threads in GBS aren't bad" and for literal months has said ":smug: But you're GBS" don't work. You obviously have issues with the forums and are way too invested in your own personal subforums.

A thought occurred to me this morning as I poured scalding hot coffee in my own face that if it did in fact take Chris Roberts 8 hours to write a letter about how The Escapist was a secret Derek Smart front for destroying Star Citizen, then does that mean he did a series of drafts beforehand to get it just right? Do you think I could set up one of those crowdfunding things like Ben did and try to buy the drafts? I'm sure Chris needs the money and wouldn't say no.

The problem is reaching him would be impossible because he doesn't read his email. I'm going to have to talk to a faltering backer about dressing me up as a gift basket so I can get in there and try to speak to Chris.

Please post about Star Citizen in the Star Citizen thread. You, arf, and Xaearael are special because you have consistently shat up this thread and made it intolerable to read. If you want to post here, fine. But post about loving Star Citizen. You can post about how the SC community is delusional, or how SC is a scam, or how we're all wasting our time talking about SC. gently caress you can even post about other space games and how they're poo poo, or about recipes and how that's more fun to do than bitch about SC. Just make it fun to read. Please. Otherwise I do what I said and probate you.

Truthfully, I got into the thread for shits and giggles, but then I got irate at how it was taking advantage of people (people I might not actually like, but, still people). I will give Chris the credit of the doubt and concur it started with the best of intentions, but, due to a combination of his basic incompetence and the actions of his cabal of cronies, I do think it has become a scam.

Also, as per the discussion of purchased cookies, how can we be sure they are Asian sweatshop cookies so we can REALLY attribute the source material?

I still don't think Chris is taking advantage of people. I think he's deluded himself more than anyone else, but the same sheer force of will that enables him to even conceive of this bullshit is also what blinds him to the fact that he's hopelessly outclassed and incompetent.
