Bandwagon the--Oh Wait. · 4:53pm Dec 19th, 2015
Bandwagons are now banned! Look! It said so here!
Thanks, Knighty. You always now how to improve the site.
No, really. Why? What could they possibly be doing to harm the site? The best I can guess is causing more traffic, but is it really so much that a ban is necessary? The site has almost always ran fine for me.
Well I guess I'll just keep my fun to myself. Who needs it?
Wasn't Knighty
Wish I had my tab so I čld get the video but...
I don't need it...
I don't neeeeeed iiiiittt...
...

I NEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIT!!!
On another note, I don't think it was Knighty. He hasn't been logged in for a while. Why everone blaming Knighty?

3629051 Regardless of who made it, it's still no fun.
All blogs, forum post, and stories, as well as the coding to run this site. take up X amount of space. When everyone is filling such space with those bandwagon posts, it takes away space that would have gone towards stories or the coding to run the site.
They have been banned for over a year at least now.
That is the explanation that was given to me.
Be thankful that they have not jumped in and banned bandwagon stories, such as the masturbates series, which had gotten completely out-of-hand. (Like the peach bandwagon a while back.)
3629054 Agreed.
3629056 Yeah. That's the same reason for why they took banned RPing. The constant flood of data slows down the site's response time.
Wait... there was a story bandwagon about... peaches? Whaaaa...?
3629066 Yeah, there was, of all things. lol
I'm rather upset by the rule i saw no harm in them but whatever
3629071 Huh... Imagination is weird... But I found the most annoying one to be the "Would it matter" bandwagon that had taken over the site a couple months ago. I only found one or two actually attention-grabbing.
3629089 Meh, I just scroll past them if they fail to catch my interest.
I would definitely not recommend banning such fics, though, because if it gets a new writer writing, then I feel it is not a bad thing. (As long as they make the minimum requirements for this site.)
3629104 Agreed. It's a good way for new writers to get started.
We can still get poofy hair in other ways.:3

yes, Obselescence made a comment in an admin announcement and used peaches as the example. so naturally, everyone wrote and read stories about peaches.
3629499 Oh... wow...
3629051 Because Knighty does things like this ALL THE TIME.
