Some kind of record?

I remember when goat was but a boy... now hes a full grown goat and he has responsibilities... such as eating more grass, climbing up on picnic tables, biting peoples asses when they get to close..... COME BACK BE A BOY AGAIN. NO MORE FULL GROWN GOAT... MAN!

I think the reason that AGN seems to be losing its... activeness is that it isn't really interesting anymore (this is coming from a guy who's been around for only almost 2 years, remind you). Back in the day (which, again, I have no idea what was like), there were contests and the conventions. Most likely to go to jail? 😃 We should do these again.

And when the top admins left and moved on with their lives, they failed to really hand over their positions. (Plus, there are a TON of mods.) There just needs to be more publicity. Remember when ZC was featured on a TV show? I mean, come on, that's awesome. But that was several years ago.

What's left of the community? Some awesome members, check. A few new, awesome quests, check. But the QDB is totally screwed up, and the ZC beta forums seem to be full of nothing but bickering (TEH BETAS R GETTING TEH BUGGIER!).

Just my daily rant. 😊 It's not that I don't like AGN -- I do, that's why I come back all the time. I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, either. But ZC, the feature of AGN, needs to be publicized more, IMO.

Personally, I'm still in favor of GB's return. I will gladly volunteer myself to be the forum's whipping boy (Once again.) if it can keep AGN going. Activity in one place causes activity in other places of AGN as well. It's the proverbial raging fire to discuss everywhere else where there is no fire.

Member posting contests couldn't hurt either. 😛 A few places do them and it works out fairly well for themselves, if the members don't actually spam to get there. (I.e. a post consisting of more than three simple sentences.)

Bringing back GB the way it was would be a mistake. History would repeat itself. It was removed for a very good reason.

The forum divides the community. It becomes a spectacle ground where a few people put on a show humiliating unpopular members, and then all members have to post at AGN with the fear hovering over them that if they do the slightest thing to annoy someone, they will get roasted mercilessly.

No better way than that to split up the "elite" from the regulars, and that is the sort of thing that got AGN into this mess.

if the members don't actually spam to get there. (I.e. a post consisting of more than three simple sentences.)

That is true.

Spam is bad.

I think i been baned the most. i been a on and off member for about 7 years now I know agn way back when they where on a free host. many members have long since been dead. I think i will just keep comming just to bug people on and off. I kind of like it.

I kind of like the ignore button, so please just keep one account.

That wasn't 3 sentences. 😉

Well... I too am up for some kind of interesting contest, activity, or whatnot. And I'm typing this sentence just to have three sentences. 😛

If we were going to have a contest, I'd suggest a contest to create the funniest comic or other media related to AGN and its history and members. Hilarity would surely ensue.

all the older forum members grew up/got lives etc and all the news ones have no personalities, that's the prob 😞 I don't pay attention to things much around here but I don't see any worthwhile personalities like Nonny or Goat of AGN's heyday. Just gamefags rejects.
