Balto box, should it stay?

(this is...probably in the wrong section. LOL if it is, move topic please D:)

I think this is just ridiculous. You'd think that, this being a balto site, the Balto Box would come in handy for discussing topics pertaining to balto, fictional and non-fictional. But, what's the point if the box is just being spammed constantly? And, what's more, is that most subjects I've seen in the box are usually discussed on the forums, or in the articles. Is the box really worth it? Personally, I like the idea of having just an RolePlay Box and a Shout Box, since, not everyone talks about balto 24/7.

And besides, all i ever see is 'Balto rx!!11ONE!!!' 'TOGO RULEZ!!ELEVEN!11!!' And other stupid nosesne like this.

As for me, i'm against having one. What about you? And please don't answer the pole without leaving an answer. I'd like to see your opinion too =]

I personally don't think it should. I think that our third box always fails, and it simply makes more for the mods. It would be better just to narrow it down to two, if you ask me.

Yes, I say take it down, it's nothing but a spam and cyber dust collector. Just taking up space now.

I agree too, it's turned into a mine of spam now, pretty pointless keeping it and it makes the site look messy having a random box that people just spam up all time.

Yeah, I agree. It's collecting nothing more than dust nowadays, and especially because there are not going to be anymore sequels of Balto.

Remove the Balto Box... it's a waste of valuable space.

Maybe the Mods need to be more strict about the Balto box rules.

More strict? How much more strict must we be? There have been constant posts from all moderators telling everyone to 'stop spamming' and to 'talk ONLY about balto'. We've even banned people for the ridiculous things they do in there. What more is there to do?

Then I've got no choice but to concur,the Balto box must go.

It's basically a spam box. I say it goes.

I think the initial thought of having a BaltoBox was nice, seeing as this is a Balto site, but really, people just don't seem that interested in actually talking about Balto, Togo, or anything related to those subjects. Now it seems like it's just an empty box, open for spammers to do what they like to do - spam. So yes, I say it should go ;].

Ok, although I doubt this will prevent some people from spamming in the other boxes...

Well...you can't exactly stop spamming 100%. But at least now, we'll be able to bring that percentage down. :]

I think the classic way of having only two boxes was better (for members)
The third one (Balto box) if you ask me, tis kinda useless.. People aren't talking much about Balto since the past few months. From what I've noticed.

of course they arent, #1, the ENTIRE site is about balto, most people go to the forums or articles to go talk about balto, there is no need. #2, its not constantly being modded and members know that, thats why they spam there, cuase they know they most likely wont get caught. i think it needs to go too SAM.
