Can I recomend changing the search link to bicostp's google search setup? The phpbb search engine just sucks, and the google search works perfectly.

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Wed Jun 07, 2006 12:37 pm

I think that anything google has will be a little outdated, since it is no longer scanning the forums (there is now a robots.txt file that prevents it, since that caused the forums to go crazy)

I would suggest you avid rule-readers (suuuure...) click the link to the expanded rules list and check the update on rule one. VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE.

From word of Ben comes the final definition of what spam is and what is the purpose of forum 42. Behold, mortals, and tremble, for I am the word of BEN! *giggles*

Ben wrote: What is Spam?
Spam is comments that have nothing to do with gaming, modding, or anything people on the site tend to be interested in. Spam usually consists of a statement with no reason for discussion. If a person asks for advice with a topic, then that's OK. This is a DISCUSSION board not a statement board. Bring in topics that invite thought and communication.

What is Forum 42 for?
Forum 42 is a place to have fun (within the guidelines above) and discuss anything not covered by the other forums. Want to discuss a new game? Planning to build a custom system? Kirk VS Picard? (cough KIRK) This is the place!

Boy I hope that clears up any misconceptions that might have been formed. We'll try to change 42's description to reflect this sentiment more acurately.

No there isn't as far as i can tell. But they better be resonable, a long post on why SS < Ben. No, thats a stupid topic. A long post on SS> ben however.

Hey I got a question. If Skyone is Spongey's (I think it was him) replacement and Spongey came back, why is he still a mod? Wasn't it only temporary?

Post by **Skyone** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 11:17 pm

We wouldn't take away his powers as a mod just because he left for college. He's free to come back when he feels, that's that.

i'm not talking about him

Oh, no. I was planned a permanent moderator.

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Thu Mar 01, 2007 12:13 am

I stopped being a mod "permanantly" making Skyone my replacement. I still have mod powers in case of emergencies (spambots at the time) Then Luc left, so I took over for him. I can still do things like tell you to get that damn thing out of your sig.

I got a proposition. Since I've never seen a real discussion in this forum and everything is so monotonous, paranoid, and thoughtless, we should try to spice things up a bit by allowing political discussions. Don't give me any of that "lol but the flamzorz will be the biiig!" stuff, I think we should at least give it a try and see what happens. Anybody agree? And don't just say no, give a reason other than stuff that <i>might</i> possibly happen.

Post by **bicostp** » Tue May 08, 2007 5:05 pm

No. Politics is a very touchy subject, and people are at each others' throats already over far more petty subjects. (PS3 vs. Wii vs. 360 for example...)

As much as I'd love to have real discussion here, that's closer to the edge than we should go.
