i dont really understand what kind of forum is this because i saw many blocked topic's that in those topic's there is no obscenity...
if this forum dont let us talk about what we really want to talk\know without using any disgusting or insulting words so this is not free forum and in that case kind of forum like that cant help to nobody.
think about it.
This is mainly a forum for discussion, so when people ask questions like, "What happens next in this game?" or "How cna I beat this monster?" the topics are locked, because gameplay help isn't given here.

Cause there are times that you have to pm someone for help around here rather than posting it in the board.. and plus that, you have to read the rules around the board... and it does say that game help aren't allowed...
I wonder why.. <sarcasm>
Chongara love info to help big guy understand .hack, eh?
I must quickley reply before this topic is locked! *types really fast* Ok, from what I heard, this board use to have a free discussion part of the fourm and it turned into a big thing of nonsense and nothing. If you dont like the fourm, then why did you sign up? A lot of people like this fourm, which is why we post here.
besides a lot of people would only find this is a game help site instead of a place for mature discussion, which would be a (bigger) pain for the moderators.
i (think) i understand it all but i dont want to speak for anyone when i cant even speak for myself
What everyone said is pretty much exactly it. ^_^; This site has a fairly specific purpose: figuring out the plot and details of .hack. Helping people finish the games is not what this site is about; there are plenty of sites for things like that, and the atmosphere on them is not one that we'd want to try and manage. Popularity in and of itself is not our goal, either. If people like our site because of the way it is (which they seem to), that's cool, and we're happy; but if they'd prefer to go elsewhere because they'd prefer some other topic, that's also perfectly fine with us.
