Petition To Bring Back All Past Off-Topic Threads As Locked Threads

Add me. Unclear why they're locked at all. It's like Google removing websites from the internet and blacklisting the most successful companies from advertising via Google. Nobody wins here - neoGAF's ad revenue is reduced and over a decade of content is lost.
 
Signed.

I'm member 245, and simply from an archivist standpoint, they should be brought back so they can be saved. But I'm also moving on from here to ResetEra, because of the current ownership and way things were handled.

You're the original GAF archiver.

I can think of one reason, and it is pretty fucking sad.

Signed. Better than nothing if that's the way things are going. It's already in its own separate forum judging by the new OT URL.
 
im guessing we can lock this thread.

The Off-Topic thread archive will be restored this week, since internet petitions are always super effective.

Instead of restricting the discussion of controversial issues or divisive politics in Off-Topic, we're just going to be insisting extra firmly that you get along with each other no matter the subject, and we'll be more proactive to that end. We won't be tolerating self-righteous screaming matches or hostile, polarized sensationalism disproportionately centered around US politics. Relax and get along, and act as you would in a diverse social setting face-to-face in real life (...pretend you're well-adjusted).

It is good news indeed that OT library will be back, no one will need to post hundreds (I have more than a thousand for sure) links to OT threads to be moved.

I guess the restriction on political and social issues discussion/thread has been lifted? That is good news too.
 
WE DID IT!

I want to thank all 145 people who took the time to sign this petition to restore the old Off-Topic archives! Thank you all, we could not have done it without you. Remember people, together we are strong.

Megaton! :)
