Planes, Trains, and Spam-bots: Our forums

An Open Letter to our forum moderators.

Dear Supreme Overlords,

I'll be the first one to admit that I have neglected my duty to the community in keeping the forums alive. I haven't logged-in in months and haven't been regularly active since 2010 but it's a shame that this once vibrant community is now at the mercy of so many threats. Besides the occupation of eCanada, our recent wave of political brain-drain to the United States, I am saddened to find that our forums is sprawling with spam.

We have to do something.

This forums was once the cornerstone of eCanada. All of our legislative history is housed in the archives and we can not let it fall to ruin. With our dwindling population it is absolutely vital that we do not let this tool go waste. Our forums is what captures the imagination of our new citizens. Furthermore, it is the home of our congress and should we one day elect another, the virtual house should be a clean and welcoming environment in which to promote political discourse.

This is not simply a complainant I wish to help remove the spam and the bots and bring the forums back to its glory and I hope that you will join me.

I was on the forums this morning just the hell of it. Last "real" post is dated from April by funky

Darkzyxu Day 2,063, 11:15

Yeah, noticed the same thing.

I have been regularly deleting hundreds of posts from the the CAF section, I have also asked Neoice for admin powers to help clean out the other sections. If we expect to have our government back, and community we will need to have a functioning forum. Smoke for CPFPP

Darkzyxu Day 2,063, 11:14

Yeah, it would be a shame to have to start a new forum. Hopefully you get admin powers.

Let it die - there's no future if we keep trying to recreate eCanada as we used to know it - look forward, not backward

Darkzyxu Day 2,063, 11:15

Would you propose starting a new forum?

J.Canuck Day 2,063, 16:21

Yup, a new one - the old one always felt like a clunky DOS era relic

TheSmoke Day 2,063, 11:46

That's like saying let democracy die and move to anarchy since we used to have a democracy but no longer do. The forums are key to having an active community and functioning congress

You don't need forums. There are at least six-seven different forums under eCanada and they're all dead. Why spend so much effort on the eventual re-death? If you can make something new that has the same purpose, I'd happily jump on board.

I agree with TheSmoke, at the very least when we we're are able to elect a congress again we will need a forum for discussion otherwise would be like herding cats.
