I'm sure you all know; all of the recent topics on this forum have been locked. Why? I'm willing to bet one of the moderators or administrators wanted to cleanse Trash Talk of its trashiness. I say, good for this person! For if Trash Talk is ever to become a truly great web board, a web board to be reckoned with, to rival the might of Banter and Brawl, Just Chat, and Slithereens FAQ combined, then we must raise the level of quality of the posts produced here by 1000%! This web board must rise above its unglorious past and become a haven for the clever, witty, insightful, and enlightened. I come to you as a messenger, to shout out what you've all been subconsciously waiting to hear: If we can all work together to do what is required of us, this web board will become the fantastic realm of peace and prosperity it was always meant to be!

Aye Caramba! This is some kind of purging or something! Great moderators, please tell me your joking... You have deprived me of my main source of random stuff!

The population of Trash Talk has dwindled. It was a nice little niche board for years, but it's time is ending. I have tried adding my own input to this board(a whopping eight posts in two years), but one has to accept the inevitable. The time of Trash Talk has ended.

Leave it! It is over. The world of Ares will fall. And the boards will come to darkness. Trash Talk to ruin.

Actually, I think the population is growing. GandalfDaddy, Stryker, and myself are recent additions. The only person who has left that I know of is Moonunit4eva, and he, she, it was just a spammer.

I always saw it as the Ares equivalent of EV B&B. But while I am certainly an Ares fan, it was never as popular as EV, and neither were it's boards.

Considering all of the activity that Trash Talk has had beginning this afternoon, the board would be much more popular if it died more often.

You mean because once all of this has died down, most of the people in this topic are going to pick up and move back to B&B?

1. This whole situation is quite unusual. Apperently there was a going-out-of-business sale at the cranky pants warehouse.

2. I've been saying for a long time that we need to raise the intelligence level around here.

3. How the hell did all of the BnB people find out about this?

4. Somebody needs to unlock the Stupid Joke of the Day. The other topics were crap, but SJD is an institution.

5. I've changed my sig to reflect Trash Talk's new status.

BnBers probably found out because they come here and laugh at us. Feels good to know we are a quality source of entertainment...or were, until somebody-probably SA-stole the cranky stick.

I'm not entirely averse to opening up Stupid Joke of the Day, if people have some Stupid Jokes ready. As it was currently, it was just another topic of the same feather as the rest.

As this is the highest concentration of locks in the history of the Ambrosia webboard(s), I am not surprised.

What I want to know is why lock them when you could of just deleted them, then you wouldent have the topics on there to remind you of how silly trash talk got, It would have been more of a fresh start.

P.S or did you lock them to leave a reminder to all the wannabe spammers what will happen if they start posting pointless stuff?
