well, some users are serious enough to bookmark loads of these links, so why not help out the ones who are a bit more lazy and have them all collected in one thread, so only one thread needs to be bookmarked? :)

Maybe it'll just wither and die, we'll see :)

This should definitely be made into a sticky, or added to the existing one. Otherwise it'll just fade into obscurity :-(

You're right about the thread eventually dying and people missing it, but it still can be searched. I think the biggest problem was using "Houserules" in the topic title instead of "House Rules," because some users may search 'rules,' but I doubt any of them will search 'houserules.'

It is, however, a very well constructed thread.

Who knows, maybe they'll could post a link to this thread in the Official BBS Rules. I'm going to bookmark this page in case someone needs referral.

All of those are moot because they remain an homage to mods who had to stick their cocks where they don't belong, and remain disreguared until they're eventually ignored entirely.

You forgot Dobio's response to the question of whether or not story threads can still be posted, after they seemed to become illegal on NG.....

"You can still post stories, as long as they're not Gay." - Dobio.

(I think that pretty much says it all).

Response to Ng Bbs Houserules 2007-05-06 19:35:41


If i was to make a topic breaking every single one of those 'rules' (I use that word loosely, because they're all bullshit in my opinion.) what's the maximum you personally would ban me for Rucklo? Are you man enough to keep updating my ban? Or is it simply overboard enough to get my account deleted?

Serious question btw. I've always wondered what the answer would be, not just from you, but others as well.

You know this topic is going to be forgotten about in less than a week, which is kind of sad considering it appears you took a lot of effort and time on it. Here's hoping it's not.

If you do something that horrible that I belive I should keep updating your ban, then sure, I will. In that case it's boarderline to getting your account deleted anyways. I mean, if I'm man enough? It's just the internet, I'm not gonna have nightmares from such a thing. ;)

Oh yeah, it's already fogotten (4 pages bump right here:). However, the ones who have seen it might remember it and have some kind of use for it, and then somone slips a link to somone else, and a third one just remember the topic name good enough to be able to search for it. Some have bookmarked it.

I will try to keep a link in my sig to it for a while. But sure, it's not a thread that's gonna stay bumped forever with a good discussion, it's a resource that's out there simply :)
But yeah, it would be nice to get a link to it from the BBS-rules themselves, for recommended reading, if one have had a bad childhood with little rules or so ;)

That was always my favorite one. Like taking out your megaphone and yelling "STOP BEING SO STUPID" to a crowd of people is going to accomplish something.

you forgot that unwritten rule that every member is required to flaunt their utter detachment from reality and complete absorption in idiotic underground internet culture in every post they make, making this forum essentially a showcase of the painfully unfunny humor of pathetic losers who are too awkward to function in the real world!!!!!!! yeh thats about right

i think the only rule that really needs following is, use some common sense when posting, however this seems far to complicated for the majority of people here.

threads like these that come up, are pretty pointless.
most of these threads were included in the rules page in some form last time they were updated.
if the mods collectively feel the rules do not cover everything they wish them to they should have them updated once more.
this thread will be forgotten and outdated within days.

you're missing the point with this thread. Sure it will be forgotten in a few hours, but some might remember it for it's collection of links, and be able to locate it when needed. Also, some of these links are only help and guidlines of how to post on this BBS.
I've found myself reading through old threads, like the ones that are linked to from here when there have been a lock with a proper link.
Also, yes, the rules could very well be updated, but some of the links are only guidlines etc.

At least you have seen the thread, so when time comes you might be wondering where the thread is and actually search for it, rather than trying to find a "houserulthread" with a topic title you can't remember :)
