WEEEEEEIIIIIRD! | |

| You basically just owned your own theory jenny. (I've simplified it for Tronga since he's a little slow today)
Your theory is that during BF's peak that the asylum was still here and therefore is a necessity to the forum. Well here is why your theory is wrong.
1) During BF's peak we had both the asylum and gaming content.
2) When BF wasn't at it's peak we only had the asylum and no gaming content.
So therefore it is a necessity to beef up the gaming content and get rid of the asylum because it's obviously not the asylum that brought us activity and new members.
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIRD!!

| No, that's why it's so funny 
You're blaming The Asylum for not contributing to activity. You're not blaming it for scaring away people because, according to your logic, it doesn't. Since what takes people away is the lack of content.
So you saying Jenny contradicted herself then present such a lovely argument is awesomely funny. | |

The data shows that the asylum, in and of itself, is counterproductive because even when we had little to no additional gaming content added that we were still losing members. The asylum isn't our savior and certainly isn't necessary. WHY? Because it was a spawning ground for staff/member hatred. I don't really know why I have to explain this to you in more detail, I thought you were smarter then that. | |

| You're not getting it are you?
Let me put it this way: Why fix what's not broken?
Maybe you're smart enough to understand why I'm asking this, but I really doubt it. --Edit--

| Soo... A farmer needs potatoes and carrots to prosper. If he doesn't have carrots, only potatoes, he won't prosper. Therefore, potatoes are counterproductive and should be removed of production.
Makes sense? | |

Plz make sure to reference the deteriorating number of posts (50PPD b4 the move) and lack of members joining with the asylum in place and little to no new gaming content.
The new owner is trying to move us towards gaming and not make our forum so hostile to newbies, which should help to improve our traffic flow.
EDIT @ YOUR EXAMPLE ( I just saw the edit): The difference is that we don't need carrots in the first place to prosper. Get it now? A forum can exist without a place like the asylum and do well. | |

| Recheck my post please. And I don't mind the creation of gaming content, why should I? I just don't see the necessity of removing The Asylum. As long as the rest of the forums are kept clean, there is no problem with having a more mature forum. Of course, the Asylum was far from mature because it wasn't kept clean as well.
And my example was only to show you how saying we're screwed because something's still there sucks. | |

However I think that max doesn't want to put the extra effort to deal with trying to "clean" out the forums 2nd garbage can, instead he just deleted it and got rid of having to do extra maintenance. I don't get it, what's so hard about being civil and nice? | |

| No, because you aren't mature enough to take your negativity outside of the forum. Sometimes I wonder how you ever got to be an admin, your idea of a forum sucks. | |
