Another story? Not today.

I'm writing about Fog Chat. The only reason I go on there, is to read stuff by Meka, Goatboy, Sheepy, Mystique... all the stuff the staff and half the regulars like to refer to as spam, but actually is about one hundred times more entertaining than anything else.

It looks like Sheepy's left, and I really didn't want to see that. So I wanna ask something.

Would anyone mind, if people started 'spamming' in here? In the beginning, we basically had one forum. It had stories, news topics, chat topics, and just having a laugh sort of thing. It's the variety. This forum would rule so much if we had a bit more variety.

So... does anyone on here mind? Stuff like drawings that people have done, topics asking if anyone wants to play cards... not important or clever, just stuff to entertain.

Opinions?

Seems like we can't do anything right these days, we tell one person off for spamming and we've done wrong, we leave some alone and we get it in the neck.

Tell me please, how is leaving a blank space, then typing the word 'boo' not spam? If it had been done by a newbie or JAT, you wouldn't have given it a second look.

Snuggly at Sheepy. I know it wasn't much, but hell.

It's just the whole damn place is tied up with rules and crap. It sucks.

Shouldn't that be "for things to be written"?

You necking the whiskey this morning, Grix?

Yeah, but in order for things to be wrote, people need to be inspired and have fun. Fog Chat is not fun. Anything that's half decent is ignored, because they don't bloody understand it. Note: Meka's topics. All of them. And then they disappear for all the real spam topics.

Personally, I see spam as things that are written for the sole purpose of winning a game. "Increasing staff egos, aren't games good? aren't games bad? etc etc."

It's just muh and not fun. In my opinion. And I'll talk to Sheepy tonight about this.
