| I haven't been on GAC as frequently as usual lately, But I noticed problems. You can delete this later, but in math terms, there has been a seemingly exponential growth factor in un-needed un-wanted threads. To be nice I'm not going to point out major factors in this growth rate of "Spam" appearing on GAC. I suggest locking (Which our moderators can help with) and for our users, stop posting threads saying "I need pokemon diamond quest 5 help" Or other stuff like "I am making a contest" and posting it twice. I realize this website has been snowballing like this for a while now, but this is GAC, we are proud members of the Galactic Adventures Club, this is not LATARGQAS, (Let's all talk about random gaming questions and stuff). You will proboably just reply to this like: "This is useless too" or "GAC has been like this for a while now, stop rambling on..." But Lock this if you want, I'm just making a point. So if you agree, than get moderators to help, by deleting some unwanted threads that don't belong here, they belong some imaginary place like LATARGQAS. Again, if this thread is useless and you want GAC to spiral into LATARGQAS, delete this thread and punish me, I don't care. If you do I'll just take my punishment, leave, and go outside or do math. | |

| I agree with you, but I think the mods are already locking threads (or at least threatening to) with lots of spam. | |

| Lazer, I would give you a standing ovation for that, but its much easier to do this: I agree with 99%. This forum has become more of just a gaming site, there is little here actually about spore, let alone Galactic adventures. I would suggest ppl start making threads on, say, the development the of the next expansion pack. I also suggest that we get back to our Team GAC stuff.(It would be awesome if the whole community could all work on one adventure, instead of multiple smaller ones) | |

| I always seem to get one of these threads every once in a while, with the woefully misused word: Spam; this isn't spam. It's simply off topic posts, while I do agree some users are posting redundant threads for attention, that IS spam. Everything else is just off-topic posting that ironically, the people who want it to stop are also the ones causing the issue.
We've made established off topic sections, if you noticed. While is is strange that those are getting the most traffic, it's in no way spam. Now please learn what the word actually means before I hit you in the face with a dictionary. | |

| The thing is, a lot of people here don't play Spore very much anymore. So they've moved on to topics that interest them more, and other people join in to these topics. I totally agree that I would like to see more Spore discussion, but off-topic discussion in the correct section is better than no discussion at all.
In other words, deal with it.
And Hutch is right. It seems so unprofessional to use the word "spam" in the wrong context. "Discussion that does not pertain to the forum's presiding topic" would be more appropriate. | |

| I would love to make creatures for a Team GAC adventure.
I'm always looking for creative outlets. | |

| If Spore is not working for you, couldn't you draw your creature ideas for it? | |

But then I wouldn't get to make the creatures! D: (Though If I get enough time to reinstall everything, it should work properly.) | |

| Well I suppose that's true. If Spore does work for you again, show us some of your creature ideas sometime when you get the chance. | |

| I will!
EDIT: Managed to uninstall Spore (Nothing else to do, ololol). Reinstalling now.
RE-EDIT: Oh god. I forgot how long Spore takes to install. :|
EDIT PARADOX: It just got to halfway and then it magically sped up. o_o Time to install the Expansion packs! | |

| On a brighter note, more discussion appears to be going on in the Spore Discussion section. Happy, Lazer? | |
