Petition to Bring Back Playground

[Meganerdbomb]

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.

People ALSO hate having stuff taken from them, jussayin'.

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

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.

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.

Absolutely ok with this idea.

[Naryar]

i'm not against toast's idea

[Shield]

trov pls do eet

[Naryar]

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.
