[QUOTE=Max of S2D;19506689]Back in 2008 the average post quality was much higher [editline]06:56PM[/editline] Where is the goddamn Facepunch that banned a thread's maker who did not begin the title with a capital letter?[/QUOTE] 2008 wasnt all that good
ive been looking at the old forum and we need the banlist again along with the "coolness points" hahaha that looks like so much fun.
[QUOTE=HybridThizle;19506600]this is a internet forum[/QUOTE] You are just further prooving my point with that comment.
[QUOTE=Mr_Sun;19506841]ive been looking at the old forum and we need the banlist again along with the "coolness points" hahaha that looks like so much fun.[/QUOTE] get out
The only things I miss are Autoban. Smartness was basically post count but made people spell better, which isn't really an issue anymore. Custom forums were good, but I'm okay without them.
i want the spell check back.
[QUOTE=Pteradactyl;19506655]What do you want? A physical petition for an online forum? Get off the bandwagon you idiot.[/QUOTE] it doesn't work like that Get off the "Get off the bandwagon" bandwagon.
[QUOTE=agun;19506886]You are just further prooving my point with that comment.[/QUOTE] why are you comparing hot chicks to internet forums
May I? [url]http://forums.fakepunchstudios.com/index.php[/url] I made everyone supermod after garry made a gold member promotion for everyone with 2000+ posts and who's registered 2 years ago and recently someone deleted most threads. Not like anyone cares anyway. [editline]06:17PM[/editline] It's more like 2008 though, a bit broken, and I'm too lazy to recode the FP addons like ratings and smartness.
I thought this was going to be like every other thread asking for the old facepunch. Then I saw the petition. This shit is legit!
Not like your petition will help you anyway.
I liked the strictness of early FP, and how it was often heavily criticized for being harsh on members when it did well to keep the idiots out.
I did like it best back when I joined but oh well whatever...nothing was really lost...still alot of the same members with alot of the same topics

[QUOTE=flarn2006;19500238]More ratings, smartness system, ban words, custom forums, all that good stuff. Moderators and other users, what's your opinion? [/QUOTE] More ratings, maybe. smartness? no Ban Words? YES Custom forums? I thought these were still here. IMO Gold members SUCK. It used to be that a goldmembers post was always the funniest and best post in a thread. Now there's a stupid goldmember in EVERY thread. It's not sacred anymore. I don't even care to see the hidden gold forum anymore. It's probably massive. And filled with useless pollution like in GD.

[QUOTE=HybridThizle;19507283]take a dang joke[/QUOTE] I thought that said take a DONG joke :dong:
The old Facepunch was good but nothing special, the only thing i miss is the OIFY.
I prefer it just now. I hated the old ratings system where you had all your ratings displayed on your profile like achievements. The smartness system was handy but most people can spell anyway.
Wait there were good old days?. I kid I kid, but there isn't much that we lost along the way that I think we need back.
[QUOTE=MachiniOs;19507563]The old Facepunch was good but nothing special, the only thing i miss is the OIFY.[/QUOTE] You can still get to it.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;19500286]You're an 08er with 88 posts. You don't know what the "good old days of facepunch" are. Neither do I, technically.[/QUOTE] I [I]can[/I] remember the good old new-ish (07) days, even though they were short lasted
you think that the opportunity to get banned for more things is better?
I'm getting sick and tired of all these threads. Just enjoy it as it is, and try to make it "like the old days" through better posting. If all you cared about was the .jpegs surrounding the forum, then you really deserve a dumb rating.
[QUOTE=flarn2006;19500238]Come on, Garry, you know Facepunch used to be a lot better. Can you please restore it to the way it used to be? More ratings, smartness system, ban words, custom forums, all that good stuff. Moderators and other users, what's your opinion? I posted a petition about this. It might not have any impact, but it shows I'm serious. [URL]http://www.petitiononline.com/facepnch/petition.html[/URL][/QUOTE] [img]http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/4934/aaaeeemmmuh.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Van Gogh;19507727]you think that the opportunity to get banned for more things is better?[/QUOTE] yeah because it was fun
I remember the OIFY. It had a weird background. What was the "ban words" thingy? Don't remember that(Although I began reading the site before I actually made an account).
I miss the smartness and rating system, that's pretty much what I miss. Also, I joined FP in September 06. The smartness system actually helped me improve my English alot. So I don't see why not use it, yeah maybe because of the elitism, but it was "fair elitism"(lol). Someone can't expect to be taken serious if you can't even spell the basic words, and when the grammar is even more buttraped than my own.
You want the REAL good old days? Go back to the tan forums. Where you get instabanned for spelling something wrong. Where you can't say "i sorry why wuz i bant" and have 50 gold members tell you why and then get an unban. Those were fun days that taught me a lot. However, the community is different now, so the site has changed with it.
