What the hell is going on?
Why is this happening?
I have my hunches and I know more people who want to delete there accounts. This site is moving too much towards BoS and I cant pick out whats the cause.
How do we stop the dwindling quality of this place becoming BoS-ish?
One extra thing, I think there is far too much Sweet nothings crap and im sick of this whole forums unread posts thing being random crap in sweet nothings. its annoyin as hell and this place now doesnt resemble a VCE community at all

KILL THE SPAMMERS
moderators should become more strict towards spamming and msn conversations

I think there's a fair bit of useless posting outside of Sweet Nothings; posts that have basically no purpose at all. I still feel that this board has a lot more to offer than BoS, especially with the forums for individual subjects. But there's a lot more MSN-style chatter than previously (though this could well be down to the fact that everyone's on holidays and so aren't studying like crazy, unlike a month or two ago).

I don't want to point fingers , but I guess with a larger population, a forum is inevitably going to have an increase in lower quality posts. Or hopefully it's just a temporary thing; It's the holidays, people are at home, possibly lazy to go out and there's not much to do on the computer but to post on VN, resulting it to be more of a chat room than a e-bulletin. (But then again, there's the IRC for that..)

I've also realised an increase in posts such as the following:
--- Quote from: Random1 ---
--- Quote from: Random ---Blah blah blah.

YEAH LOL I AGREE ;D

Enwiabe, try disable post counts :P See what happens then.
The VCE forum on BoS is actually pretty quiet the last time I checked. Anyway, it'd be a bummer if this place fell apart.

Is it really that though?
I think half the problem is that there are now SO MANY threads which promote msn styled convo which u cant simply tell people off for.
Some are just random stupid "what colour hair do you have" crap.
WHATS THE BIG DEAL WITH WHAT COLOUR SOMEONES HAIR IS. Its ridiculous
