I killed the shout box!...

I don't think it should be a rule. I used to do it all the time and the shoutbox came alive again :lol:

Err...I was just joking about making this a rule, you know...Noticed the smiley next to it?

Well in THAT case, why should we not change the name of the rant box to the "joke box"

Everytime I see people saying "whoa, I killed the shout box!!!", only because there were no messages posted in a few minutes. This is becoming very annoying to see this all the time...
Should I make a rule about this? :lol:

I have done this a few times I admit, but not that I KILLED the shoutbox :lol:

I just say that the shoutbox is dead. But yeah, I now realise that its pretty usless and stupid to say it. Theres over a thousand members, so soon enough someone will pop up and say hi. XD And I don't think a rule would go down as good, especilly about this. Because people are going to still say it no matter what.

Well I don't think a rule is necessary, but it is surely annoying...

There must be rules! Rules to guide the ignorant masses of the people!
We must obey the rules, obey them at all time! There will be order, there will be discipline, there will be obedience!
Obey!

There's alerady a rule for it.Saying 'I killed the shoutbox' is spamming.You better write something in the shoutbox like this,it will be better than a rule:
Saying you killed the shoutbox is counted in spamming.

It is NOT spam...if that's spam to you then you obviously have no idea what it is. And don't say "you better", because that sounds to me like it's a threat...

'You better'? Really now? What are you going to do if steet DOESNT? :roll:

And its not really.. spam. Nor is talking about spamming. At least your saying something. These are examples of spam..

lol

And so on. :] So yeah. Saying you killed the shoutbox isn't really spam. Not that anyone really follows that rule, anywho. XD

Of course the rule isn't needed. Everyone knows it would be pointless, however it would be hilarious, XD. Especially to hear all of the complaints that would be generated. However, maybe the rule should be: you can't speak/type those words unless you really were the last person to post and no one's replied in over an hour, XP. Just joking of course, however it is annoying when someone types that only after a few minutes.

This is spam to me...Spam is useless messages, and don't you think this is exactly a type of useless message?

It does get a bit annoying but sometimes if someone says that someone else comes and says something like "No you did'nt, I LIVE!!" or something like it and the shoutbox fills up again....guess it's kinda like one of those endless, annoying circles that life likes to throw at us...

sunkissin · **Posted:** Fri Apr 20, 2007 2:24 pm

Yeep... I totally agree with ya steet! This is sooo annoying >__<

I think you should make a rule. Because spamming is not allowed on the SB. And that IS spamming...
