Using administrative actions to try and change the overall mood and opinions of the forum would be like putting a bandage on a tumor. Administrative actions are great for dealing with random assholes or the occasional naughty post, but not for anything else, really.Well, it's true, right? All I can do is yell at people when they're being stupid, which just adds to the crap.Oh sure, play THAT card.What can be done? You and Nick are the ones who have the power to do anything.I like how everyone seems unanimously agree that DC has downward spiraled, yet no one does anything about it.
DCS has dropped Define Cynical

so, I suggest that we all e-sign a statement saying that we will clean up DC, and then maybe we'll get to the point where DC is a place we can be proud of to call a Dana-Claire-Simpson-fansite again?
maybe we could also have a hidden board where old members can talk more loosely about anything OM related or non, so as not to completely alienate our userbase.
Because I too have been worried that DCS was going to disown us, but not try too hard to prevent it.
The only way we can fix this is if everyone agrees to pitch in.

Well put doog. You never posted anything offensive whatsoever
we know she'll be back, like a good bitch should.
And what can we really do? The biggest difference between DC now and DC then is that the overall tone of the board is a little more jaded.

in that case, we change the forum skin, and someone starts a new website for DCS-related stuff.
because we sure as hell are not going to let DCS's fans discuss on a keenspot forum. those things suck.

Well, that's mostly because Ozy and Millie was still an active strip then. Not much we can do about that now, either.

Let me tell you a story about an online children's game called "Castle Infinity". There were many things wrong with it, but they're not relevant to the story.
Castle Infinity had a very affectionate fanbase. There was one guy who made a fansite called "C8world" for it, which included a message board. Just like Define Cynical, it soon stopped having anything really new to add to it other than posts on the message board, and so eventually they got rid of everything else (newbies: DC used to actually have updated pages of art and other content, and I don't mean our little coppermine gallery).
Even later in time, when Castle Infinity had pretty much gone downhill, but was still there, kind of like OM now, C8world was essentially all the old people that had met each other through their love of the game (just lost the game), but they were a bunch of /b/tards and shit and the board was far from family friendly.
The problem was solved by creating a new message board, this one officially hosted by Castle Infinity so as to not allow innapropriate material, but the old C8world was still alive for trollish banter and camaraderie.
So what should we call the new DCS fansite (not officially run by DCS, but with family-friendly rules again)?

What about "Wahnsin"? Everybody should know what that means. It means "Insanity" for those who don't
OOH even better! "Tier Wahnsin" going with an anthro feel to the place.

Actually c8world died pretty soon after that forum was created.The problem was solved by creating a new message board, this one officially hosted by Castle Infinity so as to not allow innapropriate material, but the old C8world was still alive for trollish banter and camaraderie.
Though you could say there was parallels between c8world and DC. Back when I first joined c8world in 2001 when I was a complete and utter noob it was... considerably less family-unfriendly than it later become.
But I seem to recall that c8world mainly died because there was some stupid war that was like architects verses Seademond followers or some shit. I recall legal action being threatened at one point.
