Because some people don't realize that, when you severely overdo a good thing, it gets old very quick, and something that would otherwise be fun and funny, ends up just plain irritating.

yeah, they went overboard, but locking all those threads was overboard too

We tried, Sparkle. Believe me. Ian and I both played along with the "Avatar Above Me" game, until it became obvious that they were just posting "Tires" without even looking at the avatars above them.

Well, I usually like, and even participate in such things, but I just dont see the humor in "Tires".

Serious inc was done to kinda show everyone that they take eveything too seriously. It wasnt ever really meant to entertain (Although it did for some).

Tires has no purpose, and is only getting things locked.

And now to another peeve of Ian:

Employers who make me wait for a call from them FOREVER.

Ok, this is the only topic I can find that I can post this in to really post about this, most of the others are locked...

Ok, tire guys, stop. It is a pain. The "lulz" stopped when we lost Random Thoughts, and it was just a pain when we lost How Are you Feeling. We get it, you think tires are funny. They might have been, but now they are a pain. Now stop getting threads locked all the time, you are just overdoing a forced meme that is not funny in the least.

I'll do even better than that: I'll unlock them once I feel things have calmed down enough that I won't start seeing "TIRES!" in every thread I look at.

We stopped fifteen minutes ago, stop whining.

I REALLY want an actual explanation for this photo.
There can't be one.
This is photoshopped.

Dude, I am usually on your guys' side. I hate locking threads just because of a few spam posts or yelling at someone because of a four quote "pyramid". But when you get pages upon pages of nothing but freaking tires, you really make the mods have to be locking nazis. These forced memes are crap, we all know it. You aren't being cool or funny, you are a pain.

Author:  Rusty [ Sat Jul 14, 2007 6:11 am ]

locking threads is kind of extreme, especially stuff like rt and hayf.

Then just PM the tires to each other.

Apparently you don't understand the "You had to be there" part. It's not funny if you weren't there. You weren't there.

trust me, you'd have thought it funny if you were there. It was a God-like plan.
And now you go post-deletin' on me.

I don't see what the big deal was. The real only major spam was in the Forum Games, which is really just a spam board. And we were saying what Bibendum probably was thinking. One can not imagine if you weren't there how epically the plan came together with almost no effort at all. This wasn't a forced meme. it was a natural flowing process, just oen that happened quickly and died within 20 minutes.

It's just like I said, DUA: when you take something too far, it stops being funny and just becomes annoying. And the funny thing is, we Mods aren't the only ones who are saying that. Besides, it was obvious you guys were just posting as quick as you could without even looking at the avatar above you. Ian and I even played along, until it became obvious you were just flooding that thread.

But here's the kicker, DUA. After the thread was locked, you guys deliberately started spamming other threads. There was absolutely no need for that at all. You were out of line as far as that goes. So don't even make this weak attempt at justifying your actions. You fail and fail hard.

[s]Thanks you for explaining something that I was having trouble explaining. It truly was something that happened in five minutes. Someone said something, then someone decided avatars, then someone decided What the Avatar Above You is Thinking? It was definitely one of the quickest nights of my summer.[/s]

Yay, I fail and fail hard.
I blame Aec. :P
