As I've heard, misc. is long gone. But as I haven't been here very long, why did it ever get taken away? I think maybe we should give it another go.

What's as small as nothing? Why am I asking stupid questions? -------------------------------- Shaper teacher : "DON'T TOUCH THAT!" BOOM!! apprentice :*little voice* "Sorry..." --------------------------- CSM RIFQ Neopets Do join, it's fun. Do you know what is the answer to the greatest question ever? It's here.

Misc got attacked by several Spammers Of Doom many times and thus got removed. General has pretty much become the new Miscellaneous since. I also wouldn't be surprised if this thread were to be locked and/or deleted. And I don't think Misc should be brought back, for the sake of the moderators' mental health.

Why not? People are using General as Misc anyway. Posts: 950 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

But posting games and spam on a plate need a Misc forum. Anyway, Misc is FUN. -------------------- How many shapers are there? Why is Drypeak controlled by Zakary? Why is Barzahl a Guardian?

quote:General = Misc (sort of, sometimes). RWG used to be pure spam. What more do you need? You can post games in General. If they're really interesting, they won't get locked/deleted (Mountain of Shadows, Movie Trivia, etc.). EDIT : Also, the fact that General allows Spidweb-related talk (unlike Misc) lowers the percentage of spam topics.

I guess you're right. But Misc is still FUN. -------------------- How many shapers are there? Why is Drypeak controlled by Zakary? Why is Barzahl a Guardian? How does the Geneforge work?

I didn't realise this was why Misc. was taken away. I suppose if it was a spam magnet, they had a reason to get rid of it. Posts: 275 | Registered: Sunday, January 8 2006 08:00 |

A simple search would've told you why Misc. no longer exist. And God knows he don't need any more spam magnets, since we have enough. Although, the boards tend to get sooo boring every once in a while, it shows iniative to those re-loading the page to go out and get a life. Posts: 1035 | Registered: Friday, April 1 2005 08:00 |
