Okay, so the fora were purged. They were messy and old and crappy. But do you agree with it? If enough people want the fora to be restored, we (well, craNK) can sift through the backup and more or less put the fora back where they were. Vote!
Not the entire fora need be restored, that would be a meaningless waste. Perhaps all the topics that have been posted to in the past month, plus a couple 'classic' threads like PETA. And to be honest, I wouldn't mind the Hitler emoticon being revived.
Reason and logic had led people into the horrors of war; the only route to salvation was to reject logic and embrace anarchy and the irrational.
I don't think the whole backup should be restored (Since people like Animegramma were messing around). But certain threads can be restored, if that doesn't take too much time.
[You target="admin"] might even put up a thread 'backup threads', where the rest can post what they want to have restored.
I don't agree with threads from a certain time (see above), since especially the last ones are quite messed up...
I'm glad the fora was plurged. But I hope that its never removed for good tho. I dont feel like making a game I when I dont have anyone to talk to about it. And forget about IRC, everyone acts creepy AND DONT CARE ABOUT ZZT.
