has anyone said gamers.txt yet because they managed to take something potentially funny like nerd pokemon self insert waifu fan fiction into endless wanking about the same unfunny bullshit over and over

its problematic

its not worth doing it to a thread that constantly eats its own anyway

kidnap it to the gas chamber, if anything

I just checked the New Vegas modding thread, and those guys are weird. I'm not sure what's going on in there.

im going to make a Real Post and say thread kidnapping is kind of Dumb and also Not Good and generally just results in the twelve imp zone posters that still exist rushing to make the same joke fifteen times

perhaps we should extricate threads out of imp zone instead

Dragon Age: Inquisition

it's increasingly filling with people that unironically like DA2 and I think that makes it full of comedy potential

also I want to get Snakes n' Cakes to post in Imp Zone

True but on the other hand the thread was bad to begin with so I'm fine with both making GBS threads it up and mocking it. There were a lot of unfunny shitposts but a few gems in the SC thread while it was here (and it got better once it was sent back to Games because the regulars started posting again)

well yeah but you can just make the perilous journey to games if you want to threadshit

all moving to impzone does is make the threadshits the only thing that exists which kind of ruins the point of threadshitting

would just posting 'gas' 1000 times count

for real tho since you're here and all im not sure using imp zone to try and force 'good' posting or as punishment for weird + bad posts or whatever is a good idea

sending a thread from a subforum with 1500 + active users at any given time to a subforum with 50+ just makes the thread die for a little bit

why not just hand out probations or whatever

i mean i realize youre kinda scared to hit that probation button else we get back to the dystopian hellhole that was the axemaniac era but sometimes just going 'hey don't make that post' sends a clearer message than anything else

like i don't really understand what you as a mod get out of this, or what it encourages besides the imp zone circlejerk

i dunno if the dragon age thread gets that many posts but i also havent really looked at it. the smash bros one is currently pretty loving stupid with all the samus underwear poo poo and the 3ds version doesnt come out until october so its not really a huge disruption. dunno any other threads besides the obvious idiotic dota 2 thread

that would be a tie i think between the eve online thread and the marvel heroes thread

Except the Dota 2 thread is already worse than Imp Zone and probably has more posters to boot.

Maybe you can get SkyTHRITEENlaser probated again but last time those two worlds collided it just ended up with more Dota2 chat in here.

dota 2 thread is tricky because zooloo posts a lot in it and i dont really want to gently caress with that. currently imo the opportunity is there to get the most potential out of smash bros thread unless anyone has more ideas. theres obviously no rush so you guys can talk about it some more for another day or something
