The Dink Network

Without any actual means to ban people who spam and break the rules willy nilly, because Redink and Tal are the only two who can to my knowledge, some of the newer members might have caused them to not want to be here anymore.
Also, the overall feel of the site just isn't what it used to be. A lot of the fun seems to have been sucked out and replaced with either relentless trolling, inane commentary on things nobody really cares about, and general lack of actual meaningful, if random, conversation.
Also, the forum, in my opinion, has reached a state of undeath where the community hasn't really died, but it's become less about the mutual like of Dink Smallwood and just the fact that it's a place where we can bullshit about and get on each others nerves.
No other Dink community has survived this long to my knowledge, and I'm fairly certain if I were to try to make a forum or were someone else to, it would be a novelty before everyone abandoned it for this place again.
