This caused moderator Jaeson to reply "This isn't GD". To which I replied "But this is still the Codex". Which caused Jaeson to simply delete all posts. This really isn't the Codex anymore if politically incorrect jokes and language are no longer tolerated outside of GD.
Goddamn, I don't demand the return to the days when scrolling down any random thread around here could lead you straight into the goatse image or Nicolai's infamous baby fuck comic. Remember that? You eventually decided to ban the image posting of shock porn but that only lead to the Codex game of "hide the shock porn behind innocent looking links" - which was still allowed and in fact endorsed by the Codex staff.
But this is 2013. It seems the broken avatars are the smallest Codex decline problem. My account was registered at a site which no longer exists. I can watch the newest Dark Souls II gameplay video under the watchful eyes of net nannies on a power trip elsewhere just fine.
The fact that you could freely verbally abuse people here and were not restricted by the typical behavior and speech codes was an important part of the site. I can be offensive and vulgar elsewhere, that's not the point, the point is that it scared certain types of people away. Exactly the people you want to scare away if you ask me.
My deleted comment was a joke but now I am dead serious: Bury my account together with the rest of the old Codex!

Zed I hate you. Because you can into 2D pixel art while I can't. I feel like Poland ball. You are gay, aren't you? Fags are always good with the superficial things. Would also explain your avatars..
