In Regards to Animator.net

[Jon]

This is a serious post people.

We've said our words to DA, myself included, but now is the time to drop it.
Spamming Animator.net as MCToast has done, will not be tolerated. Not only does it give the entire community a bad name (i.e. petty and immature) but it leaves a mark on this new forum.
As I said in the DA thread on Animator.net:

Guys just drop it. Leave the man to wallow in his mistake as tumbleweeds roll slowly through this forum like a ghost town. Migrate to AA or TDD, where we can continue on our way and keep the community somewhat together.

If you have any questions or thoughts, feel free to express them here. But I would rather not see this forum marked as immature, because some members decided to spam the old Dark Demon.

Remember the good old days, not the terrible year or so we've had on that site.

Whhhhhyyyyy???????????

The Times we had.
Boohoo

Sob Sob

Weep Weep


Someone kill The Dark Admin.

[Looz-Ashae]

Hehe, is spitting in the face from above and going away polite?
I fully support MCToast in his act. Besides, it's a logical consequence of DA actions.

[MCToast]

Standard age of pivoter's is 12, who cares about maturity? And who cares what happened on A.net, whole site's a joke.

[Phazon]

Spamming Animator.net gives this site a bad image. If someone stumbles across A.net, sees the spam, people insulting the owner and a link being forced down their throat, are they going to want to join the new DD? Most likely they'll just see immaturity. We need to work on the future of THIS site and not dwell on what happened on the old one.

Standard age of pivoter's is 12

Yet here we are.

[Jon]

So because the standard age is 12, means we should act like 12 year olds?

Phazon has it completely right, if you want to go ahead and spam it like you have, then do so. But, there will be consequences on this site, which will be discussed by the admins and rest of the staff.

[Looz-Ashae]

There's something right in Jon's words. Well, there are might be some people who would think so. But I think, people are not that simple creatures which make a quick decision: "I wanted to show my animation to the biggest pivot community. But one of them spams. Naaah."
A seeker will find.

[Anton]

Standard age is 12 ? I feel old with my 20.
I should have put a "prepare for unforeseen consequences" somewhere on a.net, but now, it's not worth it anymore.

Anyway, i didn't get any strong links with this site.
I find shameful the way it ends. It could have been like a burial scene : Silent. Calm. and with honour.

But no, spam the shit out of it. Gee.

[Jon]

That still doesn't justify in anyway spamming the forum.

If I wanted to show off my animations, and saw mindless, immature spamming of a different forum, I would not visit that forum.

Instead, do what we did with Artangle - advertise in your signature, people will eventually find it. Like you said, people aren't that simple, they will find a proper, more mature advertisement if they look properly.

Thank you Jon,

This is only going to be said once. The spam on A.NET stops and is to be removed immediately.
If you want to cry and complain about DA thats fine
But do not under any circumstance spam his forums or you will be permanently banned from these ones.

[SIFTER]

If I were to do anything to a.net, it would be bumping very VERY old threads, but that's about it for me. There is no justification for spamming ANY forum no matter how dead it is, it's rude and shameful, and the spammer should feel ashamed of himself, really. Thinking of what Coweetie said about automated ban makes me think that we've probably blamed DA for nothing. Unless you guys don't show a proof of his activity, we should close this thread as well as the one on A.net.
Edit: And instead, we should apologize for our misjudgments.
Edit2: Just scrap the apology part. Thinking of it again, we should just keep quite.

[Phazon]

If I were to do anything to a.net, it would be bumping very VERY old threads.

I wouldn't even advise doing this. Let the forum die from inactivity.

[Looz-Ashae]

It's not his forum. It is a forum of an audience. It's been created for those, who creates animations in Pivot. Admininstrator is in charge for keeping the atmosphere on the forum friendly and consistent. I would call DarkAdmin's politics anti-national. In the other case I won't ever let someone else spam.

Non-spamming position is a fidelity to principles I suppose. On the one hand MCToast's actions were impulsive. On the other hand he told everything (or did he tell a lie?). And the forum is empty. If I were a random guest (and I am actually! I came back in the time DarkAdmin thread was created) I would think that something not right had happened here. About which rules do we talk then?

Such soft approach about signatures is more neutral, I agree, but not so effective. By the way advertising other forum in a signature is an evil too. Lesser, but still it is.

[Царица Луна]

It's not his forum. It is a forum of an audience.

Although I don't approve of him ignoring the forums for such a long period of time and the fact that the community has existed for such a long time, it doesn't change the fact that he bought the site.
