I was tired of being banned for 'posting in a spam thread', ESPECIALLY after mods had access to that BAN ALL feature that indeterminately banned everyone in a thread. You know, it is possible to post something meaningful and worth reading in a thread that isn't. Don't punish me because some kid posted something stupid and I wanted to put my two cents in.
Why would I want to use a forum that I'd often have my access to restricted? I could talk about the same mindless shit anywhere, and I wouldn't have to worry about glancing down at the online users list to see if you-know-who was logged on.
It's a goddamn forum, and I just want to talk. Let me be. The community will turn the BBS into what it wants, and even if it's shit, it's what they want. Newgrounds is sustained by it's community, and they should always come first.
