C-SPAM Times best-selling author
When in the course of forum events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the separate and equal station to which the mods and Jeffrey of YOSPOS entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of posters requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. Having in the past suffered many indignities under the yoke of others, now deposed and replaced with a new order of moderation, this is what the law of the forums dictates for the defense of the right to post in C-SPAM, which we ought to transmit to posterity.

That is to say, I am pleased to announce that C-SPAM is, of this day, now a top-level forum, and finally after years of negotiations is now a free and independent forum upon which no other forum will hold any sway or force whatsoever. This has already been the status quo for quite some time. However, it has now been decided that this reality should be reflected in the organization of the forums, in order to properly acknowledge and permanently solidify this change. Together with the impact of recent events, this also means that there will be

Changes to C-SPAM:

You may have noticed that several long-standing threads in C-SPAM were recently rebooted. There are also currently many changes happening in the government of the United States (with which C-SPAM is obsessed). These changes in the government necessitate a re-ordering of many of the long-standing institutions in C-SPAM, among which are the following:
  • The Death of Trump Thread – We had a great run, didn’t we folks? You hate to see it. The Trump thread was the source of many lols, lmaos, lamos, trumos, trundls, etc., and served as a general chat thread where people could shitpost and discuss current events, as well as their day-to-day meltdowns, the horrible things they were eating, etc. It was for many years the most active thread on the entire Something Awful comedy forums, but now that Trump is no longer president, it doesn’t make sense for that to continue to be the case. The final Trump thread will be goldmined in the goodmine and preserved for posterity.

  • The Transfiguration of the Succzone – The Succzone was developed in a time when the Dems were the minority party and opposition. That is no longer the case, and so the Succzone as it currently exists also no longer makes sense. Now the discussion of democrats and the discussion of the ruling powers and current policies are all one and the same, and because of these changes it seems impossible for the succzone to continue along in its current form. Just like the final trump thread, the Succzone will be archived in the goodmine.

Seeing as the closing of these two threads will certainly cause much strife and confusion, it felt necessary to make this announcement, and explain the new structure of threads which we have proposed going forward.

Therefore, the following new threads are hereby proposed as replacements for those previously mentioned:

  • Listen, fat C-SPAM chat - The Trump thread worked for four years as a place for high-paced shitposting about current events and general political discussion. Now that trump is out of power it doesn't make sense for his thread to be that anymore. So there will be a new thread for fast-paced shitposting about current events (probably largely about president Biden) for people who like to post in that way. The name is temporary, until another better one emerges organically.

  • SLOW JOE ZONE - Seeing as the Succzone had about 1/8th the number of posts as the Trump thread, which were generally of a different character; so, a new thread will be created which is likewise meant to mock dems and libs (and now, the ruling party and powers that be), but for people who aren't great fans of inane shitposts, and want to discuss things at a slower pace similar to the Succzone of yore. This name is also subject to change.

  • Post-Trump Thread - This thread will be specifically focused on Trump, where we can follow along with the antics of our favorite cartoon ex-president, and it will also be the spiritual successor of the Trump threads of times gone by, where you can come to post the horrible food you eat and scream out your trunds and trupples, etc.

While this is the best attempt of the mods to handle the material reality of a transition in ruling parties, and the result of much thought and consideration regarding how to handle this change, and these changes were made with the needs of the current posters of C-SPAM in mind, we realize that threads nevertheless have a life of their own, as does the forum itself, and we'll see how these proposed changes play out, and try our best to react accordingly.

Furthermore, it must also be announced that there are

Changes to Moderation Staff:

Firstly, we have already announced this in the Rules Thread, but there is a new C-SPAM mod, Flavius Aetass. Welcome aboard, Flav!

Beyond that there are many changes occurring within our complicated system of IKs. Several of our at-large IKs are coming up on their one-year anniversary of IKship, around which time they will be rotated out if they have not been already. Thread-specific IKs will remain in place until they step down or otherwise give cause to be removed. The calculations, record-keeping, and decision-making around the IKs of C-SPAM are complex, and a matter of much discussion.

To make a long story short, we are removing the following IKs:

  • Venomous
  • Judge Dredd Scott
  • Phil Layshow
  • joepinetree
  • lumpentroll

We appreciate their contributions and in exchange for that invite them to claim an icon next to their username if they contact the mods or admins, in recognition thereof. We do want to keep things interesting and fresh though, so their replacements will be:

  • galenanorth
  • Korean Boomhauer
  • frankenfreak
  • loquacious
  • tacodaemon

We expect that these changes will not be looked upon favorably by everyone, so if you have a concern or would like to discuss it with a mod, please feel free to PM one of us, or just dial 1-(TRU)-A01-HAPM or 1-(878)-201-4276. Remember to dial *67 before the number if you wish for your phone number to remain anonymous. I will release a new episode soon.

Thank you for reading this far if you did so, and good luck in the coming next four years.

On behalf of the mods of C-SPAM,
