Perhaps wordforge should air itself out.

    um, unlike the past, I don't think there is any man behind the curtain. those days of WF drama are long gone and eliteforge is just a running joke. I could be wrong: I was never one of the cool guys.

    Now I get it, your world is upside down. How is that stick doing? Doesn't it hurt when it hits your spleen?

    I'd rather have my life and a stick up my arse than a desperate need to be a keyboard warrior matey.

    Tell me, what are you seeking to achieve with all this?

    Oh no, there are still a few fucktards behind the curtain who are afraid to come out into the real world and admit this place was fucked due to their petty bickering and backstabbing. I do not have to know the gory details to see what is going on here.

    Take a break for a little while and go outside for a walk or something, man. Maybe go to your favorite breakfast or lunch place and enjoy a relaxing meal. Life is too short to get worked up over stuff on the internet.

    Fun? entertainment? a little bit of common flame in an otherwise boring day. Believe me, I get that. And yeah there is little likelihood I will ever run into you in person so I do not really give a fuck that you do not like me. The only thing I still wonder all this time is why you people are so stupid to play with me.

    This is not me worked up. I would describe what I do when worked up, but it would probably be considered threatening so I won't talk about that since i really do not have any real anger at anyone here. I have come into a crater full of people who have all their internal drama already done. They backstabbed and raped this place to death. Unless of course all the people talking of the grand old days are lying to me and this is really all there ever was to this place. I did not cause this, but I know what lingers after the destruction, and it is mostly not good. Like I said, I am an elite troll. Going out and feeding on some tween facebook page does not get me off. I like eating other trolls, and there are a few of them left around here to feed off of. Perhaps these other people they speek of also were picking on the remnants. It does not matter, it is all food to me.

    That's not what it means. Any two-bit troll can figure out what eliteforge means when posted by someone. You're clearly not up to the challenge. :no:

    Do you need to go back to Trolling 101? You don't post something inflammatory and then tell everyone you are posting the inflammatory statement on purpose to create drama to cure your boredom. You're like a fucking child at this.

    You came in here and declared yourself "Master Troll" and instead you've demonstrated yourself to be "Training Wheels Troll." You've sure showed us. :rolleyes:

    To repurpose this thread into something constructive maybe we can discuss ways to improve the board and maybe attract new members?

    No one here actually wants to attract new members. They want to keep the status quo for reasons I can only guess at.

    I will also say, OP may be a halfwit and a troll, he's not entirely wrong about this place, the old guard just chooses to not see it and label everyone who talks about it a troll.

    The problem with this post right here, is that while it might contain some decent shit, it’s not really based in reality – certainly not in terms of what is happening right now in this thread. There hasn’t been a mass pile on, everyone hasn’t bandied together, and if you read some of the reactions to your OP, some people actually agreed with you.

    This post of yours right here reads far too much of a stock answer, probably the same one that you have written on numerous boards before. Sadly, you are trying too hard to get the reaction you seek.

    First you have to drop the "no rules in the Red Room" stupidity.

    Then staff are not allowed to partake in squabbles and are especially not allowed to insult members.

    Next the staff here is WAY too big for the forum size. It's mostly a club for the "cool" kids.

    Then you start trying to bring in new members.

    Then you make sure the old members realize they aren't special because they've been around longer and are dealt with swiftly when they try their "initiation" retardation.

    etc.


    Now of course the reply to those suggestions "EHRMEGERD THEN IT'S NOT REALLY WF ANYMORE!!!1111"

    Well, news flash, most of the internet isn't interested in a forum like WF, it's one of those places unwelcoming to new people and really only exists for the old guard.

    As for why I'm here. It's much the same reason people like the monkey house at the zoo.

    Look little faceturd. Whatever counts for trolling on this board is really unimportant to me. I am not here for your points or your accreditation. Trolling 101 is I just butthurt this whole room. I have drawn out all the players, and I will probably see their wrath. You think being a troll is about power and getting somewhere. That is why you cannot make it to the higher levels. You have to have it inside of you. It has to be what you are. You are the villain, and a mighty troll never has any respect for it's minions. That is why I have none.

    But please do take your best shot there faceman. Let me see what you have. Bring down the thunder with your mighty wit and sharp rebuttals. They will fall meagerly at my feet. The person who is clue retardant here is not the one pissing in your pool. You made up a trolling game, yet you lack the ability to impose it. You have all those people behind you, and yet you still fail. I am not shamed, nor really bothered. I am merely wasting some time while some timers run out on a game of mine on a nice relaxing day and I decided to make my toys dance for me.

    Holy fuck. I know why I am here. My I ask why you are? Is it the same reason? I was not quite expecting lucidity from the likes of you. My first bet would be that one of Gturner's personalities would stumble across a clue.

    So if I understand correctly your concrete suggestions are reduce the number of staff, make it so staff can't take part in any contraversial threads, make posters be nicer, and then "attract new people"?

    Ok, reducing staff is possible, I am not sure how to define a contraversial thread nor do I think making existing posters post less would be a good idea, and I am unsure exactly how you props to attract new members. It seems a bit vague to me. It would be nice if posters were nicer to new folks but how do you force people to do that?

    Thread tags might also help as it would result in more threads showing up in search engine results and thus we might get more new traffic some of which might stick around. The one problem is the tags can easily be abused by asshats.

    Do thread tags actually improve for SEO? We used to not even get indexed because the administration didn't want us to.

    Good SEO really comes down to inbound links these days, as I understand it.

    Agree! google up funny cat videos - your blood pressure will get down to a human level within seconds. Tiny fedora cat maybe, or my favorite, cat in a shark suit riding a roomba and chasing a baby duck.
