The Fate of Zombie Gutter

Too many MTGS-related threads in here. Anyway, MTGS admin Galspanic has requested that this is posted and discussed here. I hope he gets around registering here to chime in but IDK if that will happen.
This is just me thinking out loud and not any hint of any action at this point.....the Gutter in the process of being sort of reincarnated on another site and having it here seems strange to me. To me it makes sense to just call it quits, turn off the posting, and leaving a link to MTGCommunity. Then, if and when I can get Hannes to send the SQL Dumps over to Azrael, ( N_S ), or whoever we can just retire it.

I want GR to post this on the Community too (at my request) since it seems that people there would care and it would end up effecting them too.

Any thoughts on how to make this break as clean and amicable as possible. I might be
in the minority here, but I think that MTGC is a huge opportunity for people that aren't finding what they want on MTGS. If the hostility and hatred on both sides doesn't stop though it will poison both sites and I really don't want that.

It would be funny if, instead of deleting it, they accidentally made it viewable by everyone.

He finally made it a honorable break. Thanks for posting this and now gentlemen get on with building here.

I vote this discussion take place in the gutter as the gutter and this site are not the same.

What's there to discuss? Its their site, they kicked out everyone. Why is our opinion requested? :confused:

Oh well in that case its my opinion that they shouldnt close the gutter just for "good riddance sake", nor turn it into a redirect for here.

Gals is actually a decent guy who seems to be willing to moobwap when needed. If anyone wants to keep zombie gutter going, it sounds like he's willing to go to the mat for that to happen. So it sounds like he wanted to figure out if that was something we cared about, in order to not further piss anyone off unnecessarily.

PPE: Such as Kpaca.

For that matter, it's been a standing offer from ER for a while now to send over the gutter history.

A long while ago, I gave detailed instructions on how to have a two-minute operation of making an sql query to the MTGS database and dumping the whole gutter posts into a file in one of those "appeals" threads.

I left the premises as soon as I heard crickets chirping :shrug:

I"m very much against the Gutter being closed until we hit 100,000. No, I haven't given up on that yet! :D

*Heads to post as such on Sally*

Complete amnesty for every banned Gutter Member. An apology for the Pegging Chamber lies. Nai revealing that he is the Leak.

Hi Gal. Why not just register if you're intent on being a member of this community (albeit a lurker)?

I guarantee we won't even have a summit before deciding to give you access to anything. :toot:

Get the shit and nuke it on sally. The gutter is here now and removing it takes away the rest of our connections

And no offence manders but I'm not going to be proud of the 20000ish posts that were made after bannings because its not the real gutter and getting to 100K will mean nothing

That is the way to make this Break as clean as possible.

would you post in here?

Banning everyone without warning is about as clean a break as you can get. As far as I am concerned they did their half, now it is our turn. Who gives a fuck what Galspanic, Nai or Sene have to say about anything?

Do you really want to read another post from them that says 'It was a travesty the way the Gutter was handled, but *insert passive aggressiveness or backhanded compliment*' ?

This.
When you admit wrongdoing, you are culpable for your actions and it becomes your responsibility to make amends for them. In the real world, we have jail, fines, fees, bills, and other time and money expenses that are levied to repair damage.

We're on the internet and personal responsibility ends at whose head hits the floor first. Actions speak louder than words, so if they're intent on whispering, we have chat logs etc that at least blackmark their credit going forward.

There is obviously differing opinions on this, but when the old-timer Gutterites are saying close it I tend to side with them. Just letting it stew would be fine too since the Gutter itself hasn't caused any trouble, but GR, Teefo, Madding, and Azrael seem to be okay with this. I really do wish I could make it work the way everyone wants, but this really seems to be the best way.

So, a week from now I will lock everything up until I can get those goddamn SQLDumps ported over for ( N_S ) and then we can archive her away once the Gutter is transferred. If any of you do talk to ( N_S ) or are ( N_S ), it's important to me that you know I am trying to get those. 4 emails to Hannes and checking my hotmail account 2-3 times a day for that... It's not something anyone on staff can do, but I have made it known that this is what is needed.
