"It won't fix the problem in one fell swoop so we'd best not do anything at all"

it wouldn't even come close to doing anything and itd be taking down a funny forum in the process for no good reason

im all for having that dumb lowtax post in every page of this thread, because it's completely insane and a very good argument as to why this whole thing has gotten way out of hand.

Why are people swarming this thread to empty quote wild screeds? Is this being talked about somewhere?

They legitimately believe said screeds. its a saga unto itself. this thread has gotten very meta.

are those tossed upon the funeral pyre forgotten, did the utter destruction and removal of nazi symbolism in Germany lead to that country making the same mistakes again?

Equivocating nazis with posters of the pink forum. Hmmm, this ain't it, chief. Haha.

you can keep trying to drown people out by shitposting about neopets and hannibal for several pages, but it won't work.

Ruffini, you've been callously dismissing all of the things I've said for pages regarding the issues present with FYAD.

that being said holy poo poo, FYAD is really having a mass closure of threads

the iks have figured out its unsalvageable at this point. too many of the funny posters are gone.

Yeah, sure helping a lot with


When it's...kinda what is going on. Such a help.

that Dumb Lowtax post is absolutely not what is going on. Arfjason and Cuntellectual are two different people and neither of them, as far as anyone knows, is an alt. There's no "don't share your alts dude" conspiracy.

Cuntellectual has 23000 posts. That is way, way, too many for some secret FYAD alt. The probations in FYAD were for failing to win the IK contest. Specifically, the IK contest that declared itself open to GBS refugees, because GBS had just been closed and sent to the GBS graveyard. Every poster in that thread who posted a number got probated. Simply put, they weren't probated for being an alt account breaking kayfabe.

I found this all out in 10 minutes. I don't know why Dumb Lowtax did it, but their analysis missed some incredibly obvious stuff.

I can't tell if dumb lowtax is trolling or genuine or what, a lot of very weird clearly wrong poo poo and theres a surprising amount of people signing off on it unconditionally

This is pretty much how all gachas in endgame. The good ones give you clearer long-term goals to work towards.

Also, the only thing worse than FYAD posters is wannabe FYAD posters who stan them.

The thing is when you allow open bigotry in a discussion space, you very quickly drive out everyone who isn't interested in open bigotry.

They got banned and/or probated for it
