This is the first time, in my 8 years playing Eve and always mucking about in the forums, that I can recall a whole week's worth of Ships & Modules threads fitting on to one page of my web browser.

The Missions & Complexes forum isn't doing much better either, and these two have always, easily, been the most vociferous.

Am I missing something, or reading too much into what this entails? Straight

Maybe people finally figured out there is a search function?



There has been a noted increase of like-whoring and etc in the (* OOPE forum area. Maybe everyone went there.

Used to be that the forums could scroll faster than the little wheel on your mouse.


Now, no.


Soon we'll all be dancing in the street for nickels.

I'm glad somebody else noticed the same thing. Been waiting for the return after the summer slump, but so far still not much moxie.

1) players numbers dropped;

2) forum community isn't exactly welcoming - check how replies are getting much more "likes" than posts and most replies are either "post in another forum" or "we don't like your idea / you are wrong" (why do people even bother to post this instead of moving on to actually interesting topic - I'm not sure);

3) *Snip* Please refrain from discussing forum moderation. ISD Ezwal.

The number of assholes has increased to a level that made them spread out so much,
that the 1% rule-relation changed towards the lurkers.

Which makes perfect sense to assume.

Yes other forums just cram all the redundant threads into one mega thread, where it causes any communication that was going on to be lost in the spam.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them.

The Rules:
5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

12. Discussion of forum moderation is prohibited.

The discussion of EVE Online forum moderation actions generally leads to flaming, trolling and baiting of our ISD CCL moderators. As such, this type of discussion is strictly prohibited under the forum rules. If you have questions regarding the actions of a moderator, please file a support ticket under the Community & Forums Category.

27. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

Off-topic posting is permitted within reason, as sometimes a single comment may color or lighten the tone of discussion. However, excessive posting of off-topic remarks in an attempt to derail a thread may result in the thread being locked, or a forum warning being issued to the off-topic poster.

I gave you a like. Does it make you feel dirty?

Serious answer. 90% of the posts pre-like consisted of the word 'this'. I was more than happy to see the end of those days.

Personally, I think fury bot has just started liquidating people who can't post in the right forum section. I, for one, welcome our robot death machine forum overlord.

Will I get banned for boxing!?!?!
