Sorry I did not notice the post Lupin I find it interesting though that the bill got passed without the mandatory wording, but a new bill has it and they are trying to pass it. The most discusting thing about all this, is that us Americans are told all is great and this is a great thing by our nightly news.....
I dont think you read the worst part.

Unless someone provides some credible sources, I can tell you that what that email notice said is completely false. Most email notices like that are false to begin with and are not a credible source.
The idea of getting the general public to commit themselves to doing community service work is something that should be addressed, in my opinion. However, like I said in my previous post, the people would have to be given something worthwhile in compensation and it would have to remain strictly voluntary.
And like Tiemann was saying, such a plan would never work in the United States; therefore, the facts presented by the email notification are utter BS.
This is clearly involuntary servitude, which makes these youth camps against the law and the constitution. But I think they found a loop hole around that. You see, they can force you to do service for a crime, and if something is mandatory (like these camps) it would be a crime to refuse, and they can punish you by making you do it.
Just wondering, doesn't this assumption also apply on general conscription?
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime where of the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Well, I've already been a member of The Rogue Forums for a while, but as Donutz said many FF'ers are showing up there. Though how many will stay has yet to bee seen.GF was for general gaming (general topics and various games, plus it was the feedback area for the network sites such as bf2files.com) so they aren't the same.
I doubt many will, i wont anyways. I dont see the point of following 2 forums on the exact same subject.Its a sad day, all the original BF1942 sites are gone now.Ah BF42.com, that was the site I checked daily when bf1942 came out. Good memories.
BF42.com, BFCentral, now BF1942Files.com.
Only PBF remains.
I know I come on for the friends, I don't come onto the forum just to read stuff from other people that I have no connection. i actually care about you guys. I wanted to know what your first words for in that recent thread, it's not just about the validity of the posts, but also how entertaining they are to us. Fuzzy Bunny's old vehicle manuals had really no bearing on anything at all, but by god they were a joy to read. I liked when flyguy posted his spanish paper with requests for people to help him with it, I like that people can do things like that and discuss it. It's like getting together daily with your group of friends and talking about whatever comes to mind. I just want to be able to talk like we're at a bar, discussing whatever it may be, girls, tanks, recent changes to airplane manufactures, it doesn't matter. I just hope we can maintain that, that's what made FF so special.
Yes
The devs should remember, Offtopic isn't for them, its for the community. They have their own internal forums, and the whole rest of the forums to remain clean. But offtopic should still be a place to have aimless, but incredibly interesting discussion that go off in fun directions, debates, and places for Jummy to do random book reviews, stories from his past, and how lawyers in the south dress. Those threads are what made the forum a great place, and those are what we need. Offtopic is not meant to be for the devs, but instead a place for the community to hang out, drink a beer, and have fun. Sorry to say, but IRC is most definitely NOT the answer.
Heh completely forgot about that post, must be because I got it a dozen times (email, on several forums, IRC etc.). Sorry. :p
I will miss the network, but the corporate stranglehold around what should be a community site is finally released. At GameApollo, we plan to provide a new network that will be made by gamers, for gamers!
