The forums are the only worthwhile aspect of the website. It was a lot more active, but its still pretty bustling with activity.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
--S. Huntington

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

No, I mean NS regional politics, such as defending, raiding, and having governmental positions in regions.

I've done it to trolls, people who can't argue, "toxic" people, and people who are just loud mouths that don't break rules but skit close to them while maintaining disagreeable status.

I stopped answering issues years ago. I'm pretty much alone in my region barring the occasional passer-by and I like it that way. The Halloween event got boring ages ago. The April Fools' jokes are never as funny as they used to be. The forums are full of terrible debating and awful humour. I don't care for most of the people here and never have, with exceptions who should know who they are. I stay because I literally can't bring myself to leave, and I assume it's because I enjoy torturing myself.
