The End is Near

[AztecWarrior]

1. Squeeky banned. Whoa. That's major, but I can see the justification.

2. PSU is NOT the nice, happy community it began as, nor is it the community Hamma has envisoned. Selections from threads on the first page (not necessarily related or from the same thread):

and your second thread, with the saqme thing BTW who the hell are you

speel mutch?

rap is a way of life my ass im so tired of people saying rap is a way of life the only reason you say that is because black people started it! and in my book that isint right u dont just say somethings good because u want to support ur ethnic background! i dont go around listening to Opera just because a long ass time ago rich white europeans used to listen to it, u saying that its a way of life is a joke and by most blacks just looking at it and saying its a way of life, is a rascist thing to say thats just like saying its better because my own people made it and that sir or whoever you are is more rascist than anything else today!
|These two related|
Mexico is somewhat close to where you are, lee. Shouldn't you know at least a little Spanish? Not only that, you're an American, yes? So shouldn't you know how to write your own langauge correctly?

What the hell happened to PSU? Where is PSU? I must have typed the URL in wrong!

Newbies get a lot of flame, esp. if their tastes differ. (RasslinInc comes to mind.) He liked pro wrestling. SO WHAT? Of COURSE he's going to get pissed off and start keyboard mashing, YOU STARTED IT!

3. The most serious case, in my opinion: Pol Debate forums made contributor-only.

PSU needs money. I cannot deny that. PSU is expensive. I cannot deny that. Having to raise $3000 to keep a site running is a lot of dough. However, I think (and please, Hamma, prove me wrong here)that we are beginning the 'FilePlanet shuffle'- begin squeezing features from the non-paying public until pretty much everything is pay-only.

Guys, we all need to pitch in. The only reason I haven't is lack of a credit card. Unless we all don't, we could see a Tech Forum (Contrib-only), a Fan Fiction Forum (Contrib-only), and PLEASE Hamma prove me wrong here, a The Lounge (Contrib-only.)

Is the end near? I hope not. But we are certainly closer to it than ever before.

[Setari]

the end is definitely not near. Squeeky brought it past the line, end of story. it seems a lot of the community is in a period of RL stress and such most likely. Though I could be wrong, the whole thing could be degrading. Although I would liek to say it is certainly not near the end. Perhaps just a recession.

[JetRaiden]

Im not.

Life=good.

[AztecWarrior]

It's fucking Black Tuesday over here, life-wise. I'm not in a recession, I'm in the Great Depression (financially and life-wise speaking, not Linkin'-Park emotionally speaking).

Lots of trouble I'd prefer to keep to myself.

[scarpas]

you do have a point there, i was thinking the same thing.

why did you quote me? I was speakin the truth. I don't(and other ppl don't)know who the guy is, and we've been here since early 2003/ late 2002

It's not a matter of the truth. It's a matter of the way you said it.

Just slow down. It's all good, right? Except your sig. Fix it, it's stretching the template.

1. Squeeky has needed a wake-up call for a while now. He changed over the last year, and not in a good way.
2. While maybe not as nice as it once was, this is what happens when a community grows. I think the flaming is really just a test. If you're interested enough in joining the community, youll realize there are a few asses before you get to the nice people.

While not a good thing, this does not spell the apocalypse.

3. The Pol debate forum is an area that most of PSU dosent use. I've never been in there myself, and I can name several others whom haven't either.
It still costs bandwith for that forum to be up, even if a small percentage of the community uses it. I think that in order to keep that part of the site alive, and prove to Hamma that its worth keeping is to donate some money. If we dont raise enough money, its areas like that and the hot girls forum that will be leaving first.

PSU has evolved over the last year and 1/2. Some ways good, some bad.
This is a critical time for PSU. There are a lot of changes happening that Hamma has little to no control over.

[AztecWarrior]

While not a good thing, this does not spell the apocalypse.
We are closer to the apocalypse than ever before. We aren't there quite yet.

[Setari]

but then there's happy stuff too. like Hamma and Jennyboo.

[Dharkbayne]

I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO USE ONLY ONE PICTURE IN MY SIG AT A TIME

[Hamma]

I control all! :evil:

[AztecWarrior]

I control all! :evil:
Not the reply I was searching for...:/

[EineBeBoP]

Im not sure how that helps, Dhark, but you are correct.

[oddfish]

OH MY GOD, DHARK!! I'VE JUST PISSED MY PANTS!!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[WildEagle]

Dude that sig is iin remembrance of Zenny I can't abandon it. plus it doesn't work on Bohica forums.

[EineBeBoP]

You cant take it off then put it back up later?
And I think theres other (and better) ways of remembering him.

[I Hate Pants]

PSU is going through a dark age.

[AztecWarrior]

I control all! :evil:

Take that, Nazi.

[oddfish]

[Neon Apocalypse]

i almost thought about leaving, just for a split sec after i heard squeeky was banned and the ranks went down, i thought this place would just die

then i thought of 1024, flak, dhark, and all those great guys that make this place an experience unto its own

i :love: you all

i hear that shit. i'd miss my good gay sex partner, Dhark waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much. Plus, i gotta be here for whenever r3d decides swing by. :D

[Setari]

this community gets :love: :love: :love: for the people.

[Hamma]

I also want to go on the record quick and tell everyone that I have no intention of making all forums contributor only, it will close before it comes to that.

And I don't see this as a dark age for PSU either - it's simply one of those hiccups of drama that happene every few months :p

[EineBeBoP]

Hfs, somebody make a Love thread.
PSU could really use one about now.


INCLUDE THE DAMN NOOBS TOO!

[AztecWarrior]

PSU: "Its better with Squeeky." -eMa

[EineBeBoP]

When was the last time Ema was here?
She never experienced the monster he turned into.

PSU will survive, it will prevail.

[oddfish]

i'm sorry, but after TW and Infiltration forums.. i can't bear to leave this one. Those other two sucked. The TW ones are way to elitist, and the INF forums are loaded with trolling noobs now. So, here i am, at PSU, and i'm not leaving. This is too good to just say: One person left, now it's time to go away 4E. that's not cool. i will stick around, hopefully to some of the communities likeing. You guys rock. Especially those who really bring a lot to the table here at PSU. And Hamma and his staff are by far the best forum moderators i've delt with since i've been involved with forums.

Much love for this community :love: :love: :love: :love: :love:

hope it sticks around long beyond the days of PS teh first.

[Hamma]

She has probably lurked (not logged in)

[Setari]

i will go down with this ship (if ever, lets hope for many years!). ill stay as long as i can.


HOORJ! Go PSU :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock: :rock:

[BUGGER]

Here to the bitter end, no mater what happens, even if hamma himself gets banned! (not likely, but possible)

[Navaron]

This happens every 6 mos. O noes, PSU is going to die, O noes. + 6 mos O noes, PSU is going to die, O noes....

[UncleDynamite]

Is there any chance of eMa coming back?

[Navaron]

Not till summer, she's busy getting married and finishing school. We see her occasionally, but she's hella busy.

[Peacemaker]

PSU does not die untill PS dies. And that doesnt appear to be happening. Although I do agree. Lots of h8 around here.

[Corrosion]

I will never leave PSU. It has made me a better person internet wise.

[Rbstr]

I think part of it is that alot of the people in high school and colledge are getting to be under alot of strees and the school year has bore down on us, i know it makes me feel tired, and snapy.

But i kow things are goign to be back to the cool PSU we love in no time

[Jaged]

I have been with this site sence close to the begining, and I plan to stay with it till the end! That end, I belive is a loooong way away. Viva la PSU!!!

[321]

What are you taking about Aztec? PSU has been just as great of a community as it always has been.

[Derfud]

Same, but even more so: Real World wise for me. WIthout PSU, I would never have been able to spread the Khaan thing, and a bunch of other things that have generally improved my character.

[Lexington_Steele]

The Sky is falling, the Sky is falling.

That is all.

[Kikinchikin]

It's just change. It's not necessarily for the worse either.

[Zatrais]

Is it this time of year again? Oh noes, psu is dying, the world ends, ruuuuuun.

right, see ya in the next thread in 6 months :D
