    huh?

    When someone can go through this whole thread/RPG and tell me what in it is spam, then maybe I will consider a "mass deletion."

    Truth be told, there is a high rate of spam in the misc forum as well, should we have a mass deletion in here too??

    People worked hard to make those RPGs the way they are now, maybe I could go through and delete the unnactive RPGs (but save the good ones of course) Though, to delete the ones that people are playing right now would be pushing it. I have been working on the forum with MK and I think we are seeing progress. Grrrrrr and/or arrgggh. Thanks for showing concern, I guess.

    Another point: If you really want to see more posts in the other forums, on the main page, when you come to M2A then get more conversations going in them ;) beat the RPG forum!!!

    Look, That Guy! I'm not saying EVERYTHING in RPG is spam. I don't think in any of my posts have I said that. However, if you don't want to delete everything, that's fine with me. I'm glad that a few people (notably Dredz, BB, KaMe, and a few others) agree with me and Ark on the removal of RPGs from the "Latest Discussions" and "View New Posts". That would be a better alternative, wouldn't it, TG? I respect (though I do not like) all the RPers here, and wouldn't want them pissed for any reason because there's a massive deletion. BUt, that's how I feel on the subject, point blank. What you *can* do is instate a few rules, maybe have it one post per RPG per person a day. The end. Control like that stops the RPGs from superflouous overflowing from time to time.

    ANd about the misc forum, that's why it was really created in the first place. Yeah, we *do* even discourage outright spam here. But, in the misc forum, things are going to by much more lax than they SHOULD be in the RPGs. At least, that's what I think.

    I never said that you did.

    I'll talk to Cloud about setting up a code for that, if it is possible...

    Actually, the BEST method (that I can think of) is not to remove RPGs from the Recent Posts entirely, but rather allow users to remove ANY forum they want from showing up there. I'm unsure if UBB allows this, however. That way, RPGers could still see their forums new stuff, wheras people who never look at it can remove it... same with people who never read misc, or any other forum. That would make everybody (almost) happy. However, as stated, I'm not familiar enough with UBB to say if this is feasable, nor does it bother me enough to demand that Cloud take time out of his schedule to work on something that is only, at worst, minorly annoying to me.
