Hello members of the SC family, I come bearing glorious news to you all! To those who miss the Boardzone software, mourn no longer, for I am ecstatic to inform you that it shall burst forth from ashes like a pheonix in due time! I know many of you are concerned about the state of affairs for this community at the moment. Jim and his sycophants have once again managed to derail it, spreading all manner of chaos, discord (pun intended), and degeneracy in their wake. They destroy everything they touch. Forums, discord servers, the lives of those who let them get close to them, and worst of all- the cohesion and dynamics of this community that differentiated it from a board like 4chan in the first place.
For too long, this scourge has been plaguing this community and yes, I'll admit, even before I joined. But nevertheless, I enjoy this community for my experience so far and wish to see it rise up from these devils that have dragged it so far into the depths of Hades. I have contributed much, I know you all pretty well now, and have demonstrated through my wide plethora of threads that I do care about the success of this community. And for this diligence; in sticking around, in making threads for people, and for supporting high quality discussion and interactions over lowly spam and substanceless trolling- I have been chosen to be the creator and leader of the new Republic. Luna cares about the community and will continue to work on the software sides and be highly present, but for all intents and purposes, I will be the president of the new forum.
The objective of this new forum will be as follows: -To bring back the original SC family.
-To put an end to the CP crisis once and for all, and keep Jim and his sycophants OUT.
-To foster an environment of intellectualism and genuine discourse.
-To discourage an environment of toxic and vitriolic trolling, and mindless and mundane spamming.
-To put an emphasis on the concept of a Republic and ensure that decisions on the forum are dictated autonomously by the users rather than one man or women.
-To bring in new users that will bring forth unique and fresh contributions with variety and value.
-To make this community GREAT AGAIN.
On top of this list is most important point, bringing the SC family back together. In the times when Jim and his cronies were not compromising the quality of SC, there was a strong core of members who were unified and interacted on a daily basis. These were friends who had eachothers' back yet still engaged in civil discourse on real topics with real substance, and had genuine conversations that provoked real thought, and this bond based on substance created something that was not seen on other sites, until Jim came along with the intent to destabilize that atmosphere, and so first and foremost it is a goal to bring that atmosphere back and keep out anybody who would bring their culture of filth into our community to compromise this atmosphere of scholarship and genuinity.
In order to do this it is necessary to keep Jim and anybody who supports his destructive and terrible behavior out of the community. Additionally, those who choose to only contribute mindless spam and troll rather than have genuine discussions ought to be kept out as to preserve the quality of the family. To do this, our community will be invite-only. Each new member will get an invite link to get in and subsequently recieve their own invite link. With this they can invite members who they feel contribute to the quality of the family in a positive way. However, if they invite a scourge who seeks to destabilize the community such as Jim or any of his sycophants, that person and the person invited will be banned, and their invitation priveliges revoked.
