Not that I was asked at the time, but perhaps the time to have made this place top-level was when it first became a permanent forum (having first been a RSF), but given the similarity in subject material it seemed to make sense then to make it a D&D sub (also there was precedence of LF having been a D&D sub). That we've been here so long, and that the original core of CSPAM posters were initially emigres from D&D, I don't know that the two could be disentangled simply by moving us up a tier, but maybe?

So I'm clear this is just me spitballing, not commenting on anything that is or isn't being proposes among the mods and admins.

no worries at least we're getting some sort of answers now in a public space, I really appreciate that

I'm pretty sure at this point given the mutual antagonism between the two there's enough of a divide that they can be disentangled with few ill effects (other than radium's lovely code)

just my :10bux:/500, anyway thanks for reading and listening :)

Believe it or not there has been a substantial amount of discussion in the mod forum about how to resolve all of this. I'm trying to get things moving again as some got a bit distracted by unrelated matters recently, as I too don't like how this is just sorta hanging over CSPAM like the sword of Damocles.

Come post with me/us about it here, wherein I ask qcs: "How long does it take to press a button?"

Though to be honest I'm not sure why there needs to be "discussion" about it. We've repeatedly asked for Lastgirl and Nichael to be our mods. Someone with admin press button, done deal.

like we had IKs who couldnt see reports so we had to email krinkle or badcrumble to alert them to poo poo

I still maintain that making an empty forum called "Hell" or something like that and putting both D&D and CSPAM as subforums of that would be the ideal solution, at least to that problem.

e. The sole post in the Hell Forum would, of course, be Guyovich's stickied "Bernie Panders" post.

Jesus christ you guys are overthinking something that isn't an actual problem.

I'm not too sure about that ranking... Story wize, I think babylon 5 could be higher but at the same time, it can't take TNG of DS9's place so I don't know. Farscape was fun but wasn't a great show by any means.

All the shows underneath Babylon 5 are not great but I love them all the same

i remember the earliest core of cspam posters being a mix of dnd, byob, yospos, and the proto-alt right chuds that were allowed to fester in gbs around that time

honestly the biggest problem besides cspam being under dnd and subject to the whims of its mods is ppj

he sucks, he has a very clear ideological bias against leftists and for centrists, and he punishes accordingly

Really? I remember it was A God Damned Red's post about how they could see the White House from where they worked. And someone made a reference to rocket propelled grenades.

Like I'm sure FYAD posted plenty of things, and it really was at the time of the completely reactionary "we must be less like Tumblr period", so you're probably right overall, though. There were several mods and admins who hated LF and did everything they could to destroy it.

Anyway lol that Paradol Ex was right about evilweasel being little Roberto Gonzalez. Oh wddp.

i will continue to holler that even if guyovich never denied any genocides, his posting and time as a cspam ik were enough to get him run the gently caress off this site and that he was beloved by the d&d mod staff to the point that he got a red loving star is a damning indictment of the entire moderator hiring/promotion system

iirc he mostly got red starred because they wanted someone who was awake at the part of the day and also to stop him from being chain probed
