I have only one question - when did the GULAG become funny???
do you have no creativity? or brains? can we joke about the holocaust? or genocide? or 11 September? or ISIS? why not?!

my relatives and the people of my country died in the GULAGs by the millions, for me and people of my country this is NOT a funny - this is terrible!

hey PGI, so what about political correctness? or do we have double standards?

[John Bronco]

Is there someone laughing about it...?

[InvictusLee]

Just imagine. MWO players are actually hooked up to services in a {Godwin's Law} camp. Forced to play an outdated, out moded game in waves of random rotations in mechs they hate and modes they hate. OHH IT MUST BE HORRIBLE.

Silliness aside, I am actually, in fact, in agreement with your sentiment.

I agree its pretty insensitive to a lot of people.. I assume most here don't even know what a Gulag is.. Or how to tie a shoe lace.

no problems dude, we can call this server "Vernichtungslager" or "Auschwitz" and make the PTS logo like a Nazі swastika?
if this is a meme for you, then I am sure that the Jews will be in solidarity with you!

especially for you, you can call the server "Kursk" with the slogan "She drowned" and big smile as in an interview
that won't be funny either, will it?

So much this. We should be able to joke about anything. Censorship and offense are tools of free speech oppression. If you are insulted by some text on screen you need to grow up a little.

[Darkstrand]

Edgy humor seems to be a staple of this community, I don't think people are making a direct comparison seriously.

If you grow up a little, you will hopefully know that you can say everything but should not say everything.
And that free speech also means that someone can call you an ICD-10-F60.2 for making jokes about (million) victims.

No I have better things to do with my life then educate 2.5 people on internet that Gulag wasn't just unpaid labor by political prisoners.

Any and all gulag related stuff has now been renamed to The Cauldron. I hope this is a better word choice than gulag. Thanks for your feedback. Apologies for the inconvenience.

[grim spider]

yep i agree 100%
when i first read that it was like flash and I couldnt see or hear anything (similar to a blue screen of death) lol it was extremely mentally straining on me and I was essentially in a shock and my computer (brain) had crashed.

this kind of word is simply too dangerous and could cause very real physical harm to peoples emotions

For goodness' sakes, don't you know the rich Welsh cultural heritage behind a name like "The Cauldron?" It's downright offensive seeing it used in such an offhand and insensitive way! No respect for a holy Wiccan and Welsh symbol.

I assure you no witches/warlocks were harmed/offended in the re-naming of the gulag.

Well to be honest it's not like they're going to care. Besides, you started it.
