The pubfight allways get closed because it gets too big, and I have heard some time this eats bandwith (Miks bandwith?)
So its logical it gets closed every now and then, a new one allways pops up within 5 minutes anyway.

Why it is restricted now is... quite obvious, and understandable.
And I for one discourage these kind of "Protests".

I used to be schizophrenic, BUT WE'RE OKAY NOW!

Oh ya buddy, you're gonna get it... <_<

I think it's obvious WHY we're locking the pub fights after what recently happened.

We allow spammy-like post in the off topic section, that's fine...
We allowed pure spam topics, like the pub fights, because peoples who didn't like spam could just step over it and not read the topic...
But The more the "fights" were going, the farther the boundaries were stretched...
Until, recently, they snapped...

Even Bassik is not too proud of what was said, and I frankly share that view, I'm personnaly not proud of what our membership said on the said thread...

So, right now, not pub-fight allowed 'till members like you, Warwolt, learn their lesson just like the one who were banned did...

And, why not, I'm closing this one as well...

Oh goody, a protest... I'm SO going to enjoy this one. *evil grin*...

First of all, the reason why the newest Pub Fight got closed (the one you've made, IIRC) is because recent events have shown us that some can't behave themselves. I won't hold this against anyone, but for the moment there is simply not going to be a Pub Fight. Why? Simple... It gives you lots the possibility to think very good about what actually happened. Cause I've been on more then enough forums and seen it plenty times, that the same stuff happened all over again, as people just continued where they left off. So loose that mania to keep yourself locked in Offtopic and try to see what's on the other forums and who knows, even contribute to discussions and/or... other topics.

The second point is that, even though we run on the invisionfree server and not on Mik's one, those massive threads clog up bandwith and space. So, every now and then an old topic that has 20-ish pages (just a random number here) gets closed and a new thread gets opened up to continue where everyone left off. It has been done in the past with those 'Member Games' and God knows what else, so it's not new at all!... And besides, what's the problem with starting off in a new topic? Having a topic that reaches 1,000 posts doesn't give any (IMO) justified satisfaction. It's simply a bunch of numbers on your screen, whoopdeedoo!

And no, you're not getting banned... As long as protests are kept with respect for other people and their opinion and also not degenerate into a flamewar, why should there be a problem with it?
