I rather doubt we can prevent that. This argument has gone on too long to avoid it. (Dammit! Too late!)

Just thought id let you know IRW that you are know a steamland moderater.

[Serge]

you said it yourself.

Where?

[Incredirobotwars]

Cool.

[Velocity EVO]

Ill PM you stuff on Steamlan IRW about what i want you to do there, other than have fun as well

[powerrave]

look at my forum. only one ad at the top and that's it. and that is with a domain name. and i don't remember those being free. and ad was there before the domain name tho. so it doesn't make any difference.
you just shouldn't be so pushy with all the higher up stuff. anything can be successful if you put some good effort in it.

Wouldn't it be better if there were no ads at all, or at least ads that gave YOU revenue? Also, a domain name is like 5€ per year. For another 15€ you could get really good hosting.

there

Read this again:

and see i was right, domain name is not free.

Uhm... because I never said it is?

I will write in all caps because otherwise you may get confused: I NEVER WROTE ANYWHERE THAT A DOMAIN NAME IS FREE, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT IDEA FROM?

[powerrave]

i never said you said that.

[Serge]

i never said you said that.

Then what the fuck are you talking about in these posts?

and i don't remember those being free

and see i was right, domain name is not free.

[powerrave]

it was because you were spamming about having to pay and such.

that the ****.

[Serge]

"Spamming"? Go fuck yourself. This whole thread is about advertising a sh**ty forum, which would be bannable everywhere. Just because you disagree with someone's opinion it doesn't mean that they're "spamming". You remind me of people who label anyone arguing with them as "trolls".

Also, I am still right about paying for hosting - there is just no way for anyone to offer en masse free hosting without adding ads and/or limiting your possibilities. It's really dumb to spend money on a .com domain yet still use free forum hosting - it's like buying a gold case to keep cat turds in. Since you are already spending money, why not just buy real hosting?

[SteveM4]

SOTG'd?

[Sparkey98]

Serge never fails to make me sh** myself laughing.

[Velocity EVO]

Serge never fails to make me piss myself laughing.

i call everything spam most of the time. but that probably escaped your attention. also the fact that you call it a sh**ty forum is nothing but a personal opinion. others can say the forum is nice and good because that is their opinion.

and as if. as i said earlier, you don't need to pay to have a successful forum. i also said that i could understand why there were ad(s).
and another note. then domain name on my forum was free somehow. SotG (on my forum called TIF, also the founder of it) once just got a mail that we were given the option for a domain name.
i do now feel like arguing with you about this is useless since you probably won't understand, or just to want to understand, that not everything requires money.

[SteveM4]

Can i lock this....

[Incredirobotwars]

No. Not before I mention that on your forum, a guy who was also by the name of Marklar came along and spammed the forum. It happened on mine, and I obliterated all evidence of him and banned his IP forever. Now, I know that the only people who know these links are people on this forum, and the only one making a deal out of it was serge...(Brings hands together and appart convulsively, indicating a connection)

[SteveM4]

Yeah, he had a big marklar.

[Incredirobotwars]

Yeah. 10 inch...according to him.

I am sorry that I don't spend days on GTM reading everybody's posts, and instead, have some sort of Real Life ©. The forum being shitty is an opinion I can back up with arguments:

• No content (21 topics, 8 are off-topic)
• Too much admins and moderators, not enough users (4 Staff Members, 1 Member)
• Too much sections, all the content that is already there could've been put in two categories: Train Talk and Off Topic
• Eye sore (seeeriously)
• This

Show me a successful (SA or FP or at least old-GTM-scale) forum that's based on proboards.

Yes, like I have absolutely nothing better to do than spam a forum that is going to die anyway. Also, correlation does not imply causation (or "connections" as you say - I feel like I'm watching an UFO program on Discovery):
