Don't leave me here with all these horrible people :(
Oh, I'm sorry, was I spamming? I thought my post was quite well-written, but clearly it must've come out like DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
So it seems we've gone from a forum with no rules, to a forum with one rule (don't spam), to now two rules.
Just face it Luna, this has become like any other forum now. Whatever it was that made this place special has gone. I've no doubt that you love the place if you cared enough to take the forum on, and I'm sure people are grateful for it, but I don't think you ever really understood what the place was about to begin with. You want to run this just like Psychforums or MHG but with more interesting people, but it doesn't work that way.
You knew what the old forum was like, if you were so worried about safety and legal concerns you should have thought about that before you took the forum on, or the other times it's come up before, not just sticking your head in the sand every time the issue comes up. If it's legal issues you're worried about, you could easily make a disclaimer to say the owner is not responsible for content, forum members post at their own risk etc.
If you want rules, as is your prerogative as forum owner, then fine, just make it clear what those are. Although if our ability to poke fun at the monkeys at the zoo is going to be limited to what it is on other forums then I probably won't stick around. And yes, I did put paragraph breaks in here but for some reason they're not showing when I post it.
