Miscelannious has been getting worse and worse latley...

today, Miscellaneous has gotten to be a huge epic fail.

first, some haters started posting 'enough' topics to stop people from posting so many topics on Portal and Minecraft. then, there were 'enough enough' topics from people who wanted people to stop posting 'enough' topics.

Now today, I see flamewars on 50% of all the topics on Miscellaneous, and 75% of those are Portal/Minecraft related.

We need to do something about this, scratchers!

Hey, I'm just posting my average topics:

Stuff that people might have in common with me.

I don't really care. :S

If people would just stop flame wars before they start, this all would not be happening. You can stop a flame war while it's just a little blaze by using the fire extinguisher of the report button.


Lurking more than posting, but still here.

In the old Misc we used to have religious and political debates, but now it's all about Portal and Minecraft. ^^

I wouldn't be too upset though, it's not something that will go away by itself.

Yep, just as GameHutSoftware said. They will be happening, but you can cut them off early if you attract the attention of the mods.

I'm pretty sure just mentioning a controversial topic is enough to produce discussion or at least several comments on the subject. (like in our case).

The more people hate something, the more people want to relate with that 'something'. Portal and Minecraft is the spice of the forum. ^^

Re: Miscelannious has been getting worse and worse latley...

It is really, truly sad how Miscellaneous has progressed since it was born. There were always cool topics about something interesting, like the NASA space projects, or the presidential elections.

Now it is filled with things like:

"Look what I saw on youtube. SoFunny"

"I played portal"

"I played Minecraft"

"Look at this picture! [Insert useless lolcat or stupid pokemon picture here]"

I know, right?
I saw 12 freaking topics about Minecraft already, and I'm only on the third page!

Re: Miscelannious has been getting worse and worse latley...

The bronys act innocent but someone grabs a pony picture and posts it as a joke on whatever topic and then that topic is now PONY PICS.


I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos
