You'd complain about getting donuts and boobs?  Grow a sack, whatever.

Let's not forget you helped make it a cesspool recently with your tiff with Hag.

Look in the mirror first before judging.

I don't think it warrants a new website - with the admin and overheads that go along with that.
You also face the prospect of getting enough people and posts to make it worthwhile for Vaulties to go there.  I was on a few invite only DDO related forums and due to the lack of activity there, I rarely even check in there now.

The are two changes I'd like to see in the Vault. First is for accounts like Astraghal with stupid disruptive socks like HueHueHue to get extinguished fast.

They keep popping up, spew their BS and resurrect a few dozens threads, then fade out.  If you're patient they eventually go away, but it is still irritating sifting through their droppings. 
Conversely, actively squashing them would probably just give people with too much time on their hands an incentive to do it more for "fun".  People seem to be wired like that.

Secondly, I'd like to see a locked down invite only area not related to post count where we can discuss without snitches and bitches.....okay, just without the first one.   
Something like OnePercenter's special area (no, not that one, the other one).   

Otherwise I understand Strakeln provides a community service and doesn't want to spend his time moderating. 
Does that mean delegating?  Maybe, but we all know how that went last time.  Absolute power and all that....   
Is there a practical middle ground with some of the long term Vaulties acting as admins with powers to suspend accounts/posts until the moderator deletes or releases them?  Have a few across different time zones to give reasonable coverage?
I see the rules around this being pretty clear and not too dissimilar from now.  Eg NSFW posts being suspended until fixed, deleting spam disruption accounts etc.

Ooh - 1 more stealth change. Have all Turdbine related IP's seamlessly redirected to an archive version of the Vault, but make all the posts seem current.

You haven't heard? Turbine uses what they read here to hand out bans on the mother forum. (and make stealth changes)

Nowhere can be found such entertaining drama intermingled with nuggets of inspiration offset by complete retardedness. Vote Vault #1.

That could backfire - their lack of source control insures the old threads *are* current! They might even learn about active bugs before we start sharing them 

Personally, I probably wouldn't hop to a new forum. I might have a few years ago when DDO was still good enough to hold my attention on its own, but after years of being abused and crippled by bad management, I *need* the boobs, dick jokes, and drama to keep me from dozing off.

This is very lightly moderated.  At this point in the games life though, I think you'll find it's a bit to late to establish another knowledgable and worthwhile forum.

But what if they are talking in the past tense. Because once upon a time for a few days long ago they did actually multiply instead of just adding time and counting the highest xp pot.

You should see the stuff we write about you in the 1000 post secret section

Incessant trolls and instigators like Hag are the reason I'm asking this question, though there are and have been far worse offenders. While I'm not particularly polite or fluffy on the forums, I generally do not go around flaming people and going nuts. But Hag just particularly rubs me the wrong way.

He wants to be important but he's not. And he accuses me of calling myself weird grandiose names having to do with making builds, which makes me pissed because I don't do that. I just post my builds.

The only thing that bothers me on the vault is the spammers like DiddleDoo
