I don't see how this weeds out idiots as much as curious people.

I'm pretty sure I would have pressed it full well knowing that it didn't actually blow up the board, just to see what it actually did. I could see a button being made that gives a pop-up like "YOU IDIOT ASDFKJSGD" and sends you to some weird website... but banning people? Come on.

The URL made it pretty obvious, wite.

What was it?

Maybe I am misunderstanding this whole thing. The way I pictured it, there was just a button above/below the Acmlm's Board picture that said "Blow up the board!" and got you banned for pressing it.

Come to think of it, that is a pretty ridiculous idea... I have to be confused here.

Yeah, I'll agree that it's a ridiculous idea. But I think it's more ridiculous the amount of people who clicked on it.

It WAS fairly obvious when you hovered over the link what would happen

The link was an obscure bunch of numbers, and the words "ban me." If you took an inkling of time to look at the address, you'd have seen it, and figured it out.

CONGRATU-FUCKING-LATIONS.

If you pressed the button you knew what was going to happen. It was funny to see everyone squawk like moronic chickens. It is even funnier to see the self-righteous clucking continue to this day.

No, not everyone knew what was going to happen. But I know that you did

And once it had gotten a few people, it would have become more obvious too... but it did get a few people particularly early in the piece.

I'm still bitter over the general reactions that most people had at the time.

XK, this board is living proof; if you give people a number to obsess over, they will.

I particularly remember Acmlm posting something about him "just enjoying watching [his] post count go up"

About the button... Once I saw people being banned and all, I definately wouldn't have pressed it. I'm sure there's a few people who actually pressed it out of curiosity, though.

I remember you..

But anyhow I dont see how restarting it will make people read the FAQ, shit you could put the font size largely and people would be like.... "Oh, that couldnt be important."

I see your point in some sense but the board is populated, some would say more by idiots and I agree but still doesnt give a reason to nuke the board.

A lot of you believe in too many idiots, or something. Really its just ... wow.

The general populus ...
2nd board: "Ugh, the board isn't the same anymore".
Current: "Ugh, there's nobody but idiots on the board now."

Am I the only one seeing this? ...

Possibly. =P

While I do feel there's a lot of retards, they're mostly in the ROM-Hacking forums anymore. Sad? Yes. But not much we can do.

Those sections, however, could probably be nuked... and much more strictly moderated.

I agree that there is a bit of idiocy about, but I've seen some very intelligent stuff too.

The board's what you make it. Sure, it can never be what it was in the past, cause it's uh... well... in the past... but if you have the right attitude, now can be cool too

And we do try to squish the idiots where possible

One legit complaint I CAN see is that the FAQ is horribly out of date. We should make it maditory to read the FAQ as part of registering an account. And not just a checkbox... Remember the old Napster, and how if you didn't scroll to the bottom of the terms/agreement window before agreeing to it it would tell you to read it first? Something like that.
