nothing was said that I wouldn't say to my grandmother..  these threads would fit perfectly into a Smack forum. nothing really harsh nothing to make someone cry themselves asleep no real name calling or bashing or hating or racism nice, clean, fun.. Smack

Hence the need for the smack forum. It can be kept where it belongs, those that dont want to read it dont have to, only members of the forum can see it, so casual outsiders wont get a bad taste for the game....
Until smack is reinstated, this lock lock lock will continue and will probably drive more people away.

No smack forum is going to be opened or reopened. Think of this topic as a dead horse.

JP wrote: I think when a topic starts to turn to personal attacks, the only place for it is private message, or off the forum. If you have a beef with someone, pm them. The only purpose of a smack forum is to vent those beefs in public, and then it just becomes character assassination, trying to turn the community against someone. I see far too much of that on this site. Big D's rant? He doesn't like Helix. He wants smack forum back. If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. I'm calling foul, and I'm calling foul 2. Here is a not so unusual complaint about something amiss in a game on an average server. (sorry man, average) Problem is things don't always add up to what they seem. I believe that some weird stuff may have happened, but is a sysop cheating the Only explanation? I lost some good friends a couple years back who were convinced that something was hinky on vulcan's server. It turned out to be Sing and some of his crew testing some new scripts, and we got in the way. But you couldn't tell my corpies that. They couldn't fathom how we could get torped while mowing to dock... The smack forum allowed us to let our hair down, as it were. Problem comes when all we can do is talk smack, is that the hair getting in our eyes in my analogy? We shouldn't need a place to treat each other badly, and it's hard to fault JP for raising the level of discourse from the gutter.

Dude, I have no idea what you just said. I don't mind rants so much, just keep them to one or two sentences

You know what would really be cool is if some enterprising member of this community opened a forum, say, www.twsmack.com, and invited everyone in to have at it.
