Yup, start it over. Who cares about post counts and start dates anyway?
We all basically know who isn't a douchebag here so i don't see the problem.
Perhaps we can assign new mods BEFORE the boards get wiped so they are the 1st ones registered.

I wouldn't mind a restart, but I still don't necessarily like the idea of voting for new Moderators. Then again, previous appointments have not been too popular in the past, so perhaps I have no clue what I'm talking about.
The main thing I would like in the new Moderators are guys who will remove all the emoticon spam around this place. This forum is laid back, and I like that, but about 55% of all threads these days are overtaken by pointless, emoticon spam. The same principle applies to one word replies. Excessive flaming should be dealt with as well. It's the small corrections that make a noticeable difference on a message board, and the new Moderators should make these corrections.

took me this long to get my posts, and im goin for 2000  i wanna be a GOA lol. anyway, i think BS should delete all of the people that have less then 1000 posts, or even 500. also, enabled forum pruning so posts that dont get posted on in more then a set amout of days are deleted. and let every person that registers have to be activated by BS.
also, update the forums to the newest version of phpBB, the current one is 2.0.8a, im not too sure what version this is but by upgrading it, it gets rid of some security holes and possibly be "less-hackable"

Great plan assfuck.[/quote:4f23e]
great plan assfuck? your the best, i dont see you making any ideas. if you didnt notice, updating the fucking version would probably help, but you have your head too far up your ass to notice. also, forum pruning will get rid of all the old topics on a set date. i was saying to delete the members that have 500 posts or less because if you have less then 500 posts im sure you wouldnt mind if you had to re-register and it would get rid of all the people that are inactive.

Meh... I know I probably wouldn't bother re-signing up my account and building up my profile here if my profile was deleted.
....Because, as pathetic as it sounds, I spent alot of time getting this post count up, and I don't know why, but I'd feel naked without it.
Alot of the main posters, and longest "serving" members only return to this site because they have 2,000+ post counts, and because it's almost habit.
When I look at my post count, I remember 3 years of my life that I have spent here. If you get rid of that, it's like it never happened, and I have nothing to show for the hours on end that I have spent posting on these forums.
.....As pathetic as it sounds, this is how I feel. I reckon alot of others feel the same way.

You're right, Tripper.
The inconvenience of having to re-register aside, people with early join dates and higher post counts have the luxury of being somewhat set aside from the "noobs."
Sounds petty, but it makes a difference.

Ok I'd like you guys to know that I've read your suggestions, and will consider some of the points made. Thank you and I appreciated it. Afterall, there's no point spending time and resources on a website that no one cares about.
