View Full Version : [YAGBT] Well this is it, good bye Modacity.

So this past week was Modacity's 4th birthday, but in light of that, I doubt it will see a 5th. So to this I say goodbye. Been a fun ride, with memories like Podacity, Gamenights, and many others here, but during the last few months Modacity has been going downhill. Senior members have been either quitting or being banned, including the only members left who really contributed content. This site has turned into a sort of clone of /v/, and many of the members who were actually serious about this are no longer here. Modacity also is not really bringing in content either that constitutes a modding community. Other than a couple HCE maps, we have nothing. This site has long seen it's last breaths, and really I see no reason to stay.

Alas another factor into me quitting is the recent trolling Inferno was able to do and get away with without a ban for several days. For clarification, here are his own words:

Hey sup modaci/b/ it's inferno here and I'd like to take the time to point out that you just banned English Mobster after I hijacked his account and shitposted and trolled like a beast. I'd also like to point out how fucking obvious I was while doing it. Just read the last 10 posts by EM and you willl see!

Well hope you oblivious mods out there realize that you should pay more attention to runaway accounts next time. Thanks!
It's been fun, but now is probably the best time for me to go. Hey, maybe I'm wrong about the path that this site is going down, and I would love for you guys to prove me wrong. Till then, good bye and good luck.

Edit: Could I get my account banned please?

Honestly, nowadays I don't really take things seriously with the two forums (here and GBX) as I did in CE's heyday. I just try to enjoy the forums and look at the positive side of things. I just if I see something interesting and take it from there. Those who I had fun posting/playing/talking with I most likely keep in touch with nowadays. Sad to see you go, hopefully we'll see you down the road.

Someone get Inferno a brush so he can get the sand out of his vagina.


Con infract'd two of the shitpost threads made by EM's account. I saw he made more and seeing as how this is EM's 3rd or 4th account here on this forum I thought he should know better and should have a strike for every shitpost thread he made for all the All your base meme. All of the points tallied up to a perma ban. Good riddance to Inferno. I don't see what he thought he was accomplishing by hijacking his account other than to get EM banned yet again, but then he admits to hijacking it so it ends up being nothing but a small inconvenience to EM. I'm leaving the account banned until EM can figure out how not to get hijacked again or an admin takes care of it.

The silly thing is that two of our section moderators are in some way serving a punishment: Sel is in detention and Inferno is banned.

As far as your account goes: if you're that serious about not coming here, don't sign in or come here. I don't see why a mod needs to ban people's accounts for people who post a good bye thread, especially when they basically say they'll come back if things don't go full south. While we're on the topic, everyone realizes there are blogs for your account right?

Yet another goodbye thread...true true.

This is not real life...sign in if you want to have fun and don't sign in if you don't. Goodbye though.

I can't take another exodus. Please don't die modacity. I know this is a side note, but having topics for funny/interesting/debate really kills a forum. I can understand it for things like youtube/funny pictures, but for articles, it's really a bad idea. Let's lax some rules and see what happens. Though, I suppose you could say that it's people like me who are part of the problem.

Anyway, toodles senor.

This place has been going nowhere fast for a long time. Even the off topic section is starting to die out. It's far more enjoyable here if you just stop taking it seriously.

Seriously, you all just need to hang loose when you come here and Modacity will present us all with a grand old time!

Could be worse. We could have ads everywhere and charge you for your user account. Then have surcharges on each post.

Hmmmm...actually, bbl!

Why do you think I don't post as much. Later Davis.

Hopefully when Reach comes out this forum can come alive again. I really enjoy this place myself, and am mostly a browser. The only thing that ticks me off is that i'm currently modding for source (I moved up from CE...) and I got no comments or anything about it, so I made a blog for it. This isn't even Mod-acity anymore, it's more of a train station.

In order for this site to become more active, we need to do something to either bring users in, or get our community more into things than just posting for the hell of it. We either need to focus and get ready for Reach, and promote the shit out of it (get us up there in Google searches, etc.), or we need to base this site on less things than it has now. There are many sub-forums I don't browse on here, because they don't have any posts on them worth looking at.

Either we get set for Reach, or we promote other games and engines to bring in members, and to get this place kick started back up.

Sorry for thread jacking too, hope you have fun in life davis.

English Mobster didn't get directly banned for inferno's shitposting on his account, he got banned because he shared his account info with inferno, just like advancebo did with masters. Inferno also lacks any kind of maturity whatsoever, obviously, and thinks he's some sort of e-comedian. Good riddance.

I believe that I am much funnier than he.

Best post I've seen in a year. People will always do of one of the following things:

1. Continue trying to use available resources: quick-crit, studio, etc. Read posts. Comment using intelligence. Generally, enjoy themselves.
2. Shitpost, flame, post work and bitch over the critique. Basically, fuck all and make browsing and using the forum worse for others. Deceive themselves into thinking they're having fun by fucking around with other people.

Just don't take it seriously and you'll be fine here. The people in the second group need to stop with all the nonsense.

yeah it's kinda the reason i stepped down as a mod, just the drive and the fun of this site has been going down hill for a while, so just branch out and do other things and have a bit of fun.

it's more enjoyable to come here when it's not 99% of all your internet activity. just come and browse the things you like and post when you feel like posting.
the dynamic changed about 2 years ago and we've been backsliding ever since, but being super serial aint gunna help ya enjoy the place.

basically a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do. and that may not inclide all of your time here like it used too
