I'm going to say this one time.

  • half your members go to my site.
  • You have no goddamn clue about what Warpstorm really is about apparently.
  • Keep your uninformed comments to yourself.
  • We have supported HLP, and will continue to do so, even if morons like you are staff.


I suggest you apologize for knocking my website.

then visit these places to get an idea what we are about:

www.warpstorm.com
www.warpstorm.com/oracle
www.warpstorm.com/librawars
www.warpstorm.com/forum


good day.

Hmph. I think a certain thread on one site I go to, which at least STARTED as a word-association game, is closing in on 5000 posts by now and the original creator has issued a public apology...:D

And yeah- I gotta say that was a low blow. Lots of forums are at least as legitimate as this one, and get many times as much spam. In most cases, this is because they have many times more members, but I've seen some cases where a forum will have maybe a hundred, get spam-bombed all the time, and will still be turning up gems after its 13th month. I'm not sure what it is that warpstorm actually IS about, just by looking around at it, but judging a forum by a half-dozen crap topics kept alive by maybe 2 people reveals a lack of online experience- go take a little tour outside of HLP and see how other forums are run! It'll illuminate, inspire, and probably bive you a bad case of gas. And make you realize that people in general are very, very strange.

:wtf:

Now now kids. Lets not go down the route of discussing spam. It's really not needed.

heretic I apologise on Maegs behalf but I imagine he only looked at he threads people have posted up so far (not exactly a good impression of what WS is all about). I'm sure he'll apologise himself later - and remember that I thought the same of WS for a long time till I looked at it properly!

Anyways, there may well be more spam on forums this size in other places but that doesn't mean we have to like it. It's a simple premise that spam clutters the place and makes it hard to find good topics. Go someplace else to do it because we don't like it very much here :)

it's ok, I kinda got a bit too angry, just I work on the site all day, and wish people would judge the site AFTER going outside the rift...
