It was full of n00bs and spamming, but that was the point. It was lulzy.

It seems none of you are willing to take me seriously. In that case, allow me to raise the stakes. This is my ultimatum. Restore unto us the section known as Playground, or I will flood this forum with fappening pics until it is shut down by the FBI. If you think you can ban me, good luck, I am behind seven proxies. You have until October 31st.

It was a group membership you could be part of if you clicked modify profile and it was basically the place you could spam, Trov removed it

The Playground was the place where you can post all kinds of random threads that people think are so funny.

Natster explained how you could access it but it was removed, and honestly, I am thankful because it was a place with a massive troll fest of spam, clogging my unread topics list.

Wouldn't the FBI then go after you?

I would assume extreme measures must be taken to fight for what's right. Did Hitler give up when the other countries waged war on his empire? I don't think so!

Fair point, however, you would at least be curious about certain threads and what it is, but to have something on a forum that's supposed to be about a game we still play even after 11 years since the release date is useless.

I know we all have certain tastes in certain things, but arguing is going nowhere, so let's not make a big fuss about this anymore.

Yes, the place that attracted all manner of disinterested forum members only here for games and pony discussions, and whose member base practically forced out a bunch of the older members with their stupidity.

Pass.

The forum has gotten a lot quieter without playground. I think this is going to have a huge negative effect on the forum lifespan in the long-term.

However at the same time it has made trolls less interested in the forum causing them to leave. I think deleting playground was a bad idea on the basis that it has decreased forum activity by a bit. Also it was not like you had to be part of playground, you don't have to be part of the group.

You give people freedom to speak then they're happy but you start tightening the freedom of speech that will only cause people to leave.

I for one welcome Chatterbox as our new Playground.

Also it was not like you had to be part of playground, you don't have to be part of the group.

The amount of people that post this that fail to recognize people DON'T like to be left out.
People shouldn't have to be left out for fear of being attacked in that section.

Where's the balance then? Restoring Playground but taking away everything that would make people block it would make it Chatterbox.

I think deleting playground was a bad idea on the basis that it has decreased forum activity by a bit.

On the other hand, that activity was not beneficial to the forum in any way. It was just a place that turned into a toned down 4chan. Taking it away has only culled the part of the community that were here for the section that didn't add anything anyway. People should build more robots instead of complaining that an irrelevant section of the forum has been excised (he says, having not build a robot in ages. Double standards ho).

Besides, most of the later threads were just repetitive and not really memorable at all. 'Something, something, dubs, lel, kek, images, Frenchie, demodnaryar, #rektshrektdisrespekt'. I mean, there were a few fun topics, but a lot of it was drivel.

This times a thousand

It's not freedom of speech. They can have whatever they want discussed here. If you want to discuss pointless crap, find the people you loved so dearly, make a forum with them, and discuss it there. This forum is for RA2, and the amount of splashover junk made it more than worth it to get rid of the Playground.

I don't think trov will do it.

Though if you go seriously about it (see a new set of rules (or lack of !), and prepare stuff) maybe he will consider it.

if this goes beyond a joke you should consider speaking to trov.

That's pretty funny, actually. Considering half of the forumgoers actively frequent 4chan, and the playground section was basically [s4s]-lite.
