As one of many veterans in this game, ive seen a lot of changes, both ingame and on the forums.
There was a time when the CAOD section of these very forums were filled with life (flames, trolls, a few battlereports and so on), however over the past few years things have changed.

First there was the changes where you had to be in a 10 man corp to post, wich did kill a lot of the troll posts, and then the change so you had to be logged in to see the posts there, wich i to this day dont really see the reason for.
In the old days when two sides had flame wars, these forums felt so much more alive, and fun to be part of.
However with the way CAOD is run, mostly in due of overzealous ISD and DEV moderators, that single subforum is now the least used subforum in here.
You might as well remove the entire section if we're not allowed to use it as it once was used. As a tool for agitating other alliances, for saying what you really felt like saying to them. I have seen quite a few wars (mostly small ones) faught due to someones posting on CAOD, but that can no longer happen as it more often then not will be locked as trolling or something along those lines.

Seeing as the new expantion seems to be bringing back a lot of oldtimers, is it really so bad to let that one single section of these forums slip into the demented, depraved cesspool it once was.

A more used forum can only be good for this game as it brings back enthusiasm in the playerbase, and hopefully brings back some of the many that left these forums for 3rd party sites were CCP has no means of moderating them in the first place.

TBH I didn't even know it existed.

I usually read the forums whilst not logged in and never noticed that subsection. Perhaps if they made it readable without being logged in it might get more interest?

CAOD was a cesspit of bad posting. Now's it just a largely ignored cesspit of bad posting.

Will I get banned for boxing!?!?!

It's still a cesspool but it does not get stirred as much because you have to jump a few hoops so the lazy stirrer are stirring in other sub-forums instead.

Honestly, I am neither surprised nor disappointed.

You can have all the assholes from GD, if you want.

Whats a CAOD? Is it like a Jita?






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

There was slightly more shiptoasting in GD? I didn't notice the difference.

I know COED....but wtf is CAOD?

EDIT: Found it. Its "EVE Corporations, Alliances and Organizations Discussion" or something like that....

Our corporation is recruiting! We live in Caldari high-sec and do mining, missions and trading.

Flaming, Trolling and, above all, STUPIDITY fuel this game.

When everyone acts sensibly and agree's about everything it gets boring and no one undocks.

you have 2-options: Role play to motivate content (yuck) or insult people so they actually hate you enough to attack you in a video game.
