Thread: Proposition 1123581321: Bring back AI

To be honest, I really don't are if AI comes back or not. I didn't really care that much in the first place to argue the point to this extent.

Examples of contributions include things like epic threads, hard work as a mod, development and furtherment of memes, seniority, wit, etc. This isn't the way I make things work, this is the way they have worked since before 2007 (or whenever you got here, worthless babby)

What do you want, a fucking ribbon? Your dick sucked?

That's how every forum works, but you take it to a whole other level. Handing out warnings instead of infractions is one thing, but becoming a mod just to fuck things up is completely different.

"if people are having pseudo-intellectual discussions in places where they can be told how stupid what they're saying is then it's for the better."

Since this is already the case, you are implying that a new location (AI) would prevent this. The means of preventing this is stricter rules.

And your stated purpose is to prevent people from having side-arguments or from having threads de-railed, which would also require stricter rules.

hurfdurf mouth-breathing. Ignoring for a second that none of that is a part of the stated purpose of reviving AI, the fact that there is nothing here to attract "intelligent people that actually had critical thinking skills" would tend to prevent those types of people from showing up. There is no emo forum, so there are no emos. There is no forum that requires thoughtful discussion, so there are no people who seek out thoughtful discussion.

And nowhere in here did I say the purpose was for intelligent people with critical thinking skills to have a place to have philosophical discussions. The purpose was to prevent derailment of otherwise viable threads only minimally related to those discussions by providing an easy place to conduct them. When a bunch of militiafags started posting about guns, we effectively brought back The Armory.

and again, having AI in CD I or LWS didn't suddenly bring in a boat load of intelligent people.

Same difference.

no

Not the same purpose

How are you going to make it different then, aside from just saying that it's going to be different?

The next time you bitch about me getting special treatment, don't try to use a meme I created, fucking knuckledragger.

Sorry, I forgot that the internet is srs bsn.
