An Idea For The Forums

[DEOVONTAY MCSLANGA 149]

Hey there forums. I've been playing DayZ for a while, and I really like reading forum posts. Fun stories, urban legends, places where I can find a huge clan camp to raid. These things are fun.

But there's some other forum posts I don't like to read. Like "Omg Hacker" threads. And "I'm looking to trade an AKM" threads. Oh and my favorite, "DayZ is so bad this is stupid I quit" threads. Or even "Remove .50 cal Snipers Durr They're Not Realistic".

So here's my idea. How about we put a sticky up top for each of these. ONE Hacker Complaint thread. ONE Trading Things thread. ONE I'm An Attention Whore Throwing A Tantrum thread. ONE I Got Sniped and I'm Mad About It thread.

Does anyone honestly enjoy reading any of these? Maybe the trade threads I guess, but hey imagine this. Instead of having to track down someone who is trading exactly the item you want by paging through the forums, wouldn't it be cool if you could just go to the sticky and check out recent posts? And you know what, for those of you who like these completely toxic and obnoxious threads a sticky would still make it easier for you to coalesce your ideas in a little corner. Where the rest of us don't need to be bothered by them.

I have a dream. A dream of a day when I can log onto the forums of the DayZ of old. Where I can read about the bigfoot that lives in the wilderness and look at shady photoshops of his glowy eyes. A forum where I can read about a man's terrible story of betrayal and vengeance in Cherno. These are the things that make DayZ great. Can we stop making threads nitpicking the flaws with snipers or bitching about hackers for the millionth time and just go back to what makes this game fun to begin with?

tl;dr

Stop making threads of the following topics:

"I'm mad about hackers and no one has ever made a thread exposing the evils of hackers so I'm going to do it to show the whole world that there's hackers in DayZ because HOW DOES NO ONE KNOW ABOUT THIS I MUST TELL THE WORLD"

"Trading X for Y. Boy it's hard to find other people willing to trade. I SURE WISH I had my own sticky or forum for this."

"I'm quitting DayZ, and as official mayor of this game everyone needs to know how mad I am and be sad that I'm quitting."

"IN REAL LIFE AS50/M107..." or "I don't like fifty cal snipers so remove them please. Thermal too. And all the other guns. Except crowbars."

And while I'm thinking of it, let's add another to this list...

"Wtf I spawned on the beach and no one else made a thread about this SO I MUST TELL THE WORLD JUST LIKE I DID ABOUT THE HACKERS"
