Attention all yoctograms: Why do you post in OT?

[QUOTE="soulfood4"][QUOTE="Sajedene"]The last couple of posts are so LOL funny. Sure proves some of my points in very subtle ways :PSajedene

[QUOTE="ff7fan2"]The :P emote has saved me from getting a moderation based on misinterpretation on more than one occasion...Sajedene

Can't say as I ever considered myself a yoctogram.

I post here, because of not having a 'there', if you can see the idea. Been to most of the forums here in 5 years. All are dedicated to a specific area, but none of those areas has an appeal for me anymore. This one -Off-Topic- is a loose cannon if you will; not confined to specifics. It's constantly interesting to me for that simple fact, so I remain. As far as being some lame rerun forum, many here may not have been around long enough to realize they were in a rerun anyway.

As for having some spark of originality missing, I can't address that very well. I'm not a terribly original fellow -reading (or 'lurking' ) here is a way of my seeing something original. I tend to go very middle of the road because of my conservative nature. I don't want to be trolled/ flamed/ hated on, and yet this posting almost makes me feel that is exactly what someone seeks now, mistaking those for a missing 'spark' or 'originality'.

Also- why are so many mods suddenly here at one time? Is Off-Topic now out of hand altogether? Sorry, but I can't recall myself ever going beyond civil here. It's just fun watching what you 'whippersnappers" are up to next. I'm not trying to conform, I am too old to be a lemming.

[QUOTE="Sajedene"][QUOTE="harashawn"] I have been moderated for joking around, while using it. It doesn't matter if you use it or not. Some moderators will just mod you anyway, then try to justify their stupidity. Which is why I hate posting on the Ask the Mods board; so many of them are just rude, and disrespectful. I like most of the moderators though.

I personally think the TOU for Gamespot, in this day and age, prevent many people from being themselves. ironic given the TC and topic I guess.

be it a problem with the website, those in charge, moderators, or the users, is not my call to make. that said, this place hasn't been what it was for years, and i guess i only check in now and again to see if it's gone back - so far, no luck. kinda sad. i don't know if culture in general, in this part of the world, is just degenerating - or if we've just lost too many good contributing individuals over the years for one reason or another. to be honest, and i know we're not supposed to talk about it, i think things nosedived after the JG incident and haven't come close to returning since. GS lost a lot of credibility that day.

why do i post? .. not quite sure these days. boredom?

So what IS actually something fun and original to post here-without getting the mod? Enlighten me-the most boring person on GS, so I can contribute.:|

My activity here is sparse at best. I usually just come in and read things that strike my curiosity. I'll occassionally post if I have a real opinion about something. Otherwise I usually help around the Tech Support forum or post in my union. I could definitely stand out if I wanted to. Although, I'm sure a ban would follow very soon. ^_^;

Yeah I still don't understand how General Games Discussion is so small, and both the OT and System Wars boards are so big...Something is not right, there haven't been any new regulars in the GGD for quite some while, it really killed the board.

How to make OT more individualistic... I dunno... there is a few silly memes that I would love to see getting shut out though.If I had any real suggestions that I thought might work I'd probably go over and post in the site enhancement board.

I post here because it's the quickest place to kill time...When there are good topics abound :?spazzx625

Good qeustion. The zombies threatining me at my door may have helped.

Oh wait you where the dude i spoiled Doctor Who for. SORRY! :cry:

It comes in pints? MAILER_DAEMON

Well, I have no social life at the moment and I chose OT because a) I just bumped into it by accident really (I accidentally found Gamespot as well), b) its a beautiful site and has beatifully designed forums like OT imo and c) being a gaming site, the average age of the users are appr. at my age, so...

Maybe it would shock you to learn that *takes off mask* I don't post in OT at all!

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you pesky kids!

We like games. We came to GameSPot.

Games are getting old for many here. Other GS Forums have played out for many now. But we've developed a community where we find the neighbors still interesting and familiar.

So, we're hanging out in OT Forum meanwhile. We're already here at GS and spent much time in the site.

Imagine the trouble of starting all over again at some other unfamiliar site.

Maybe we need to make a 3rd party chat room kind of forum -based exclusively on GS OT Forum membership?

This is our accepted 'limbo' until something better can happen Forum wide here. Maybe we got nuthin' else?
