@Stray Cat:
As true as that may be, having such a subforum would allow those layers who lack creativity in the fields of art and writing to express themselves. The definition of spamming is any post that is abusive or irrelevant and downright annoying to the general public. Seeing as how the public likes memes, I see no reason to consider them spam. What I mean is, if the community enjoys them, why not let us make them? Like I said, it would be another means for the players to show their creativity. And who knows, perhaps some of those memes could be used to advertise or even promote the games made by AE. The forums allows for art to be suggested and posted. Memes are a form of internet art. So, by allowing other pieces of art and not allowing memes, you would be doing something that could be considered hypocritical. If you have a facebook, you could see that recently, there has been a college memes fad going on. This is where my idea came from. Thousands of people have liked those college memes pages, and because they have been so popular, I figured we could have a similar thing for the AE forums. The one downside to my idea is that there needs to be a picture found to represent each internet meme as an AE Character. Now, as you have seen in my first post, I have found a couple, but still need time to get more. The three I am sure of that are good are "Condenscending Drakath", "AE Y U NO", and "Skeptical Doomknight". While I do respect your position, I do not think it is up to you to decide what the players like. If the majority of players are supportive of this, I feel we should have such a subforum. Unfortunately, I cannot tell who is supportive of this, so I am unsure at this time. The only argument I agree with is that there would be no discussion, and considering this is a forum, that would be problematic. However, having one thread where we post nothing but memes is not going to hurt the forum as we have numerous other subforums which we can chat on. So there really isn't much of an issue. You assume too many things without even having this subforum. Assumptions, although they may be a good prediction of what may happen, they do not guarantee things. It is for that reason, that I think this subforum should be given a chance. I mean, what has anyone got to lose? If it becomes a successful subforum, great! If not, then whatever. But we can never know unless we try it out. [:)]
