(Sorry for still acting like a staff)
Although I was never a fan of /b/uizel nor the new Glitch City, which I didn't see much of since I was away, yet we need to keep in mind the change in which the activity of Victory Road would drop due to the absence of spam. In order to keep the posts here in the forums as sensible as possible, but in the same time keep the forums itself as active as possible, I suggest again to open a thread somewhere in the forums where spam can be posted. Thus you will contain all the unnecessary posts in one thread and in the same time leave an open space for members enjoy their time in a less serious manner. |

Glitch City has its good merits and its bad merits.
It is good because it gives people a place to almost go all out when spamming. Some people feel the need to spam. I never really cared for it unless I was in one of those really sarcastic moods. It's bad because some of it just plain stupid. I was actually thinking, "About Time!" when I saw this thread. |

When I saw this on the main page, I could only say one thing about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs

I vote we leave it as an archive, but post a notice saying that the first half of the threads are complete ****. Old /b/uizel (I mean around the time I registered) actually had some good threads such as the one I just linked to.

I know I voted toss it in the Garbage Board...but since posts didn't count towards the total someone has...why not just delete all of it instead? It's just a waste of data space.

Well then, I'm glad to see Glitch City gone even for a little while. I have realized a good time ago that the problem was never with the moderation; we left the members to do whatever they wanted, the forum turned into an utter mess. We implemented stricter rules to control things over there, everyone started complaining about it.
Now let's see if closing Glitch City will result in what we hope for. |

I agree. Although i was very active on Glitch City, I agree. Too many threads were being closed anyways, so might as well close the whole thing. Most of it was trash anyways. It was mostly irrelevant and pretty much was just randomness. So, yeah. Im good with keeping it closed, although the fun times i had. *Flash Back*

So we should just close it and not let it exist again. |

Read the WHOLE post, please!
Darn...and I was just about to post this...
In all seriousness, though, I did largely avoid the spamboard. When I looked at it, though, I noticed that usually half of the recent threads were closed because someone had to do something stupid. The "trash can" approach where you save all of your trollin' for one forum may seem like a good idea, but the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. Overall, I think keeping the trash more or less out of the picture is a good idea. |

Wow, 83% of people who voted want to keep it gone (one user changed his vote in his post). Well, I can safely say with agreement like that that it will not be coming back anytime soon. I'll leave the poll and discussion open in case anyone else wants to vote or leave their two cents, preferably to help with the even split in the bottom two options.

OK GUYS I THINK WE GET IT. All we're waiting on is Cat now, and he said he'll remove it or leave it as an archive as soon as the poll closes saturday. No sense continuing our campaign if 90% of the active users have already voted.

If anyone wants anything archived publicly (in case we do decide to toss it in Garbage), I strongly suggest replying or dropping me a PM with the thread link. I may move a few threads to Funny/Interesting Stuff, Game Corner, or another appropriate board if they're important enough. I've already moved one of my personal favorites because it's related to an inside joke that has lasted for several years.

Lets be honest here. The only friends of spammers are other spammers. Its not like you need to choose between friendship with one of them that left, or this site. You can have both. =w= And hey, if they only stayed on this site to write mindless dribble, then i'm glad there gone. Maybe now this site could grow as an actual pokemon forum instead of a spam dumpster. :V Last edited by Sunny; August 23, 2011 at 10:48:57 AM. |

Glitch City, /b/uizel, or simply "Spam" (only ten of the people reading this ever probably remember when it had that name) was a board for useless drivel and another means of expressing yourself in a free system similar to the Game Corner (or its old names of just Ye Olde Internet Madness or Forum Games).
Nah, just kidding, it has been useless all along. |

Did a good look through the archives for some threads I think could do with archiving. Since there was a load, I compiled them here: http://pastebin.com/tb65i9K7

Anyway, I moved some of them to Game Corner, mostly ones that had a defining moment or some redeeming value, but quite a few of them were just too bad to keep around. |
