    The state of Chit Chat

    I am most dismayed at the decline in standards experienced by this forum in the last year or so. And I, for one, will not stand for it.

    I demand that all users with less than 50 reps are banned permanently, that all users that frequent the VB6 and VBA forums are hunted down and executed and anyone with an annoying avatar be ordered to do community service, the duration of which to be proportional to the level of annoyance of said avatar.

    These proposals are not to be put to any kind of vote, this is not a democracy. They will be implemented forthwith, posthaste and without further ado.

    Thank you. END OF ANNOUNCEMENT.

    Nope... but I would consider removing those with higher rep counts than me who berate VB6

    Less than 50 reps means you'd be banning me.. and nobody wants to see me leave...

    Mere beration of VB6 is not enough. It should be shriven from our holy shores and banished never to return, lest the baying hordes of hell erupt from their graves to rend us limb from non-oop limb.
