Glitch City has been closed and soft deleted. Whether this is temporary or permanent has not yet been decided, but we believe that this may help us determine the necessity of this board. Posting your spam in other boards instead may result in infractions as per the site rules.

Edit: Disputes in the poll counts compared to voters are due to changes of votes.
Votes changed:
PHANTOMxTRAINER: Leave it as an archive.
LiteTheIronMan: Toss in the Garbage board (visible to admins only).
Jenova: Vote retracted.

Well, it's been up for so long, it had to happen sooner or later.

Yay. It was just spam so no harm done.

I vote for keeping it closed. We had too many members, including mods and admins (remember /b/uizel?) taking Glitch City out of Glitch City. Hopefully, by keeping it closed, some more sensible posts will be made.

I've added a poll to see what you folks think, but please be forewarned that it IS NOT final. Staff will decide in a week what should happen.

(Sorry for still acting like a staff)

Although I was never a fan of /b/uizel nor the new Glitch City, which I didn't see much of since I was away, yet we need to keep in mind the change in which the activity of Victory Road would drop due to the absence of spam. In order to keep the posts here in the forums as sensible as possible, but in the same time keep the forums itself as active as possible, I suggest again to open a thread somewhere in the forums where spam can be posted. Thus you will contain all the unnecessary posts in one thread and in the same time leave an open space for members enjoy their time in a less serious manner.

If any of you ruin this moment of triumph by making cat re-open it I will have to take major consideration in eating your dog.

Glitch City has its good merits and its bad merits.

It is good because it gives people a place to almost go all out when spamming. Some people feel the need to spam. I never really cared for it unless I was in one of those really sarcastic moods.

It's bad because some of it just plain stupid. I was actually thinking, "About Time!" when I saw this thread.

When I saw this on the main page, I could only say one thing about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3ALwKeSEYs

Hrm... Looks like I'm the only one again... Guess I can pass my time with sprite shops and RP's now. I'm not gonna say anymore over the risk of being socially outcasted from the internet.

I voted for 'leave it as an archive' because it should definitely remain closed, but visible to all users.

Eh, only went there for shenanigans and posting pony whatever. I can care less what happens to Glitch City.

Only went there to post my poor attempts at trying to be funny. </3
I say leave it as an archive, though.

I really don't see the point in leaving it as an archive. If your dog took a **** in the middle of your livingroom, wouldn't you want to clean it up instead of putting a display case around it?

GC was really out of control. I agree with it being gone but I know we will probably lose some members since it is gone.

I vote we leave it as an archive, but post a notice saying that the first half of the threads are complete ****. Old /b/uizel (I mean around the time I registered) actually had some good threads such as the one I just linked to.

23 people better get to work on my future change of address forms.

Kero is unamuse.

I know I voted toss it in the Garbage Board...but since posts didn't count towards the total someone has...why not just delete all of it instead? It's just a waste of data space.

They'll just do it again, maybe troll a little. Who knows?

Whats glitch city again? wasnt that like a random spam thread?

Well then, I'm glad to see Glitch City gone even for a little while. I have realized a good time ago that the problem was never with the moderation; we left the members to do whatever they wanted, the forum turned into an utter mess. We implemented stricter rules to control things over there, everyone started complaining about it.

Now let's see if closing Glitch City will result in what we hope for.

Leave it as an archive though; no matter how bad the situation was, it is always good to keep it as some sort of memories that old members would find later on, or new members would see how the forums was.

but a lot of activity was on GC.

I agree. Although i was very active on Glitch City, I agree. Too many threads were being closed anyways, so might as well close the whole thing. Most of it was trash anyways. It was mostly irrelevant and pretty much was just randomness. So, yeah. Im good with keeping it closed, although the fun times i had. *Flash Back*

So... are we gonna delete this yet or not?

Darn...and I was just about to post this...

Wow, 83% of people who voted want to keep it gone (one user changed his vote in his post). Well, I can safely say with agreement like that that it will not be coming back anytime soon. I'll leave the poll and discussion open in case anyone else wants to vote or leave their two cents, preferably to help with the even split in the bottom two options.

Was that user me? If not, i would like to keep it in archive. I think i voted to keep it open before

You never know. A downfall is always good to archive, especially a discussion of one.

It's not so much I want it open to post in... It's just that now the spammers are going into VRIM and spamming, at least with Glitch City open, they have a place to be complete and total idiots without worry.

We could have all the moderators as chat mods. It worked for VRC, didn't it.

Plus the current crop of chat mods are either lazy or incredibly anal about everything.

So what made this theard go to waste? The lack of activity and posting? Am i right.

I'm waiting for someone else.

The /b/uizel room still exists on VRIM (room 7). I even looked through the archive and saw folks were redirected there.

Huh. Well it's worth a look.

Is there really anything there worth archiving?

OK GUYS I THINK WE GET IT. All we're waiting on is Cat now, and he said he'll remove it or leave it as an archive as soon as the poll closes saturday. No sense continuing our campaign if 90% of the active users have already voted.

If anyone wants anything archived publicly (in case we do decide to toss it in Garbage), I strongly suggest replying or dropping me a PM with the thread link. I may move a few threads to Funny/Interesting Stuff, Game Corner, or another appropriate board if they're important enough. I've already moved one of my personal favorites because it's related to an inside joke that has lasted for several years.

This is a must http://victoryroad.net/showthread.php?t=8825
It's the explanation on why people hate bronies.

Moved to General Media. Anything else?

you do know 50 people will quit

and more people will post spam on non-spam boards freely

oh well whatever sinks your site boat

... You know what? That thread on why people dislike bronies is probably the only thread necessary... Yeah, I changed my mind, just throw the board away.

The spammers are the people we don't need. (Unless they are active, and relevant to the forum, and only spams in like /b/uizel chat sometimes. Like me )

spammers had friends? =3=
Lets be honest here. The only friends of spammers are other spammers. Its not like you need to choose between friendship with one of them that left, or this site. You can have both. =w=


And hey, if they only stayed on this site to write mindless dribble, then i'm glad there gone. Maybe now this site could grow as an actual pokemon forum instead of a spam dumpster. :V

Close it for Arceus sake.

Why DID we have GC in the first place? (just askin')

Glitch City, /b/uizel, or simply "Spam" (only ten of the people reading this ever probably remember when it had that name) was a board for useless drivel and another means of expressing yourself in a free system similar to the Game Corner (or its old names of just Ye Olde Internet Madness or Forum Games).

Nah, just kidding, it has been useless all along.

Cat did it for the lulz. :3

Did a good look through the archives for some threads I think could do with archiving. Since there was a load, I compiled them here: http://pastebin.com/tb65i9K7

Good riddance, but I do admit to liking that everyone took my name suggestion. Oh well.

Farewell Glitch City, and all those who accidentally saved in it without any Pokemon that know Fly.

I DONT KNOW WHAT GLITCH CITY IS BUT ITS GONE NOW SO YAY!


In all seriousness, if it was just spam then there is no place for it

Since i'm too lazy, can someone count how many closed threads there are?

OMG! Thats a lot! Out of how many?

1,577. And that's not counting all the ones that were deleted and moved to Garbage.

Wow. Now I completely agree with the closing.

Didn't we learn anything the first time with /b/uizel?

So, what are we going to do now? No more spam boards now?

With that, I believe this is finished. The board has been thrown into Garbage.
