    Default Spam?!

    I'm actually pretty sure this has been done before, but...

    Answer honestly: Would you like EoFF to have a "SPAM!!" forum, or no?

    My answer: No. I can't stand the thought of EoFF having a grody little gutter forum. I like that it's mostly nice and clean here. If I want to spam, there are other, smaller, and more manageble message boards that allow it, so I'll go there.

    Disclaimer: The EoFF staff is not considering adding a spam forum. It's nice to know what the members think, but most (if not all) of the staff is violently against the implimentation of a spam forum.

    Eww. No thanks. EoFF just wouldn't be the same with a spam forum. The last time such a forum existed, it was a disaster! Don't ever bring back the b forum.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    Spam forums are not sophisticated. And that is what we are, man.

    Against it. The interwebz is serious business. Not the place for your little Word Association threads and ^ < V threads. Hmph.


    Besides, we have user notes.

    I don't care much either way, because I can go other places to spam. Also, assuming the same language restrictions would apply in the spam forum, that would take some of the fun out of it. But I don't think having a spam forum would necessarily degrade EoFF as a whole. It may or may not cause less spam in other parts of the forum. I haven't had enough experience with boards with a dedicated spam forum to make much of an educated statement on the matter.

    Haha! So far I'm the only one who voted "yes."

    I've seen one board that had a spam forum, and it looked really fun. It looked like a great way to vent your frustration when you just feel like being goofy.

    It is as terrible as having another EoEo.

    User notes fulfill my spam desires well enough.

    YES! It should, though then again general chat is pretty spammy.
