Heres a request to remove GD

You see, General Discussion is useless, people just post here because they don't know where to post, general means pretty much everything. But is there not a sub forum for mostly everything?

Another quality GD thread.

Nerfing High-sec is never the answer. It is the question. The answer is 'YES'.

Maybe if CCP didn't delegate the majority of their forum moderation to unpaid volunteers GD would be a better place.

No offense to ISD, but this is a classic example of getting what you pay for.

edit: free like to Epeen.

I say we monetize GD and make people pay 1 million isk to make a thread and 250 thousand isk to reply.

Let be honest, you dont want GD removed, you just dont like Doc and Epeen playing Amatuer ISD or my pointing out of the obvious.



Its ok, we all know what you really want. Big smile

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

I want a gallon of olive oil, 3 chocolate chip cookies, and a 1973 Dodge Maxi-Van.

And hurry! School is about to let out for the day!

I second OP's notion. It's not fair to hoard all pointless troll threads in one place, the topically specialized sub forums have a right to those too! I'm sure there's some constitutional amendment demanding it.

Damn someone beat me to mentioning doc's terrible troll posts.

May I propose a slightly different idea?

Get rid of all categories except for GD!

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Bring OOPE back to GD, the trolling was more enjoyable before.

I'd be fine if they would just automatically perma-ban everyone who posts in GD.

I know I'd get banned too, but it would be worth it.

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

I propose the contrary, make a Killboard for eve posts in GD! The more you post here the more POINTS you have! Like the game! That way people can feel like "elite posters" and throw killboard links to newbies to show off! Weee!

We have mods who will move a GD post to an appropriate sub-forum. Since not all GD posts get moved to a sub-forum, either GD is working fine, or we don't have enough sub-forums.

Pon Farr Memorial: once every 7 years, all the carebears in high-sec must PvP or they will be temp-banned.
