Who thinks the AIIF should be scrapped?

Post by jaeger115 »

Note: I don't want this to turn into another flamewar like that other AIIF thread. I want all of your honest opinions pertaining to the fate of the AIIF, that's all.

I say do something like merge it with the ATJ. I really don't mind the trolls if they can easily be smacked down, but I do find the "invade other forums" bit slightly immature, and someday, may bring people that could do something bad, such as hack the forum. However, I think planning any invasions in secret is better than doing it in open forums, like what we did before the AIIF forum.

As for me, I think the AIIF should have organization but much tighter with a smaller but more competently dedicated membership to insure that if we do invade other forums we do it for a good reason and that no one goes overboard while doing so.

A related note question, is AIIF a sanctioned group? By sanctioned I mean to the Mods and DW approve of what it does?

Yes, but the AIIF violated the rules they were supposed to follow and breached their own security. They were disorgnaized and they needed a second mod. Olrik has volunteered to step up for that job.

As for AIIF, keep it, but if I ever join it, I'm only doing Intel work.

I'm strongly in favor of its forum being removed The AIIF can create its own independent forums if it wants to live on.

Same here... I tried advocating the removal of AIIF from sigs, but didn't seem to work too well since somebody *cough* didn't really seem to care...

If its any comfort, we got rid of direct linking, and don't give out where we're from unless there's good reason...

Thanks for the info, i think it'd be best if I didn't vote in this poll.

Jesus Fucking Christ, it took you THAT long to eliminate direct linking?

It's being done now so you don't need to worry about it any more. No more need for your alturistic worrying.

I knew that direct linking was bad right from the FUCKING START, but
your GENIUSES over in AIIF just only recently stumbled over THAT
fucking brilliant tidbit.....

Shep, I ain't in charge of the AIIF. And like I said. It's been taken care of now so you can stop worrying.


Unless of course it's the AIIF's leader that you have a problem with?
