We knew this would happen. You guys are so addicted to that thread.

On the flip side, why is that a bad thing?

Some people were bawww over in a different thread. Like, literally. But certain mods seem to like to focus on that. Because it's fun to screw with your forum-base.

Yeah. This forum is startin' to get great.

Not really what BTG meant.

We all know RT has been bad the few days, but it really just represented an overall downward spiral of events in that thread. It's been degenerating into a LOT of spam, most of which would not have flown under the old rules, or even a stricter interpretation of the ones we currently have.

It's a bad thing because when the entire "wellness" of one forum ends up depending on ONE thread, the overall forum will suffer. God forbid you actually have to post something elsewhere, amirite

[Before your edit]: Chillax, my friend. It wasn't just you.


I think that we're all thinking over this way too much. It's just one thread. On one side we have a few people acting a bit like "WTF!?!?", and on the other side, we have the mods thinking that it's turning into "BAAAW"-ing. Why don't we just let it slide, and move on to other things? There's 10,127 other topics to post in at the Forum, so just wait out the lock.

Exactly. I don't know why this is so difficult for everyone. It's one thread.

Well, they are allowed to be upset, since it was basically the thread for things that weren't large enough to fall into making a new topic. Nobody is going to make threads for tinier subjects discussed in there ("hey guyz any help on my deafness from a Foreigner concert?"), so it kinda makes it a bit harder to speak what's on one's mind at the moment.

True. I guess I don't see the whole "get rid of the entire thing" instead of "scold the individual people" thing. Especially considering you guys can move bad sections into new topics(and spam them) and all that.

Why? How is this forum 'suffering' by having one crap-dump thread? I don't get the logic. I just don't get it. I'd sooner have people make idiot posts in the crap-dump, then make idiot posts in my quality threads. But then again, I guess they'd have a reason to be banned or whatever on those threads. Eh. I can sort've see it, in that case.

Since admins like SR and Ramrod have been on and seem to approve of all these shenanigans(by either not getting involved, or allowing it to happen), it now becomes less of "wtf is BTG and Ace doing" and more of "wtf is the entire frickin' mod group doing".

I've never been decent, babybaby. If I had a genuine beef with you, I'd PM you, but it's just an internet forum in my opinion. If I was truly tired of it, I'd leave, I'm just voicing my disappointment in the decisions you guys are making. Y'all always seem to 'act first' and 'think as a group later'

On the flip side, when you lump everybody into an 'everyone' group like that, I'm sure it makes some of the mature posters feel like you're treating us like babies. Herd the sheep, herd the sheep. :p

The thread can go, the thread can stay, it ultimately doesn't matter to me. I think my bigger disappointment is the way you guys go about it. This isn't the first example of bizarre happenings, though.

I guess that's what I get for getting into a forum that doesn't have a democracy mind, though. Makes me feel like an ant with a squeaky voice.

Why? How is this forum 'suffering' by having one crap-dump thread?

I like the fact that there is a topic for random, meaningless things. But I've seen problems with it.

If all the day's activity occurs in one thread, then what is the rest of the forum? Filler? When's the last time you heard "oh that post in How Ya Feelin was great" or whatever? Almost never. I've seen tons and tons of "wow i have to read up on all the random thoughts to see if i missed the important news!" posts. It makes the rest of the forum seem like a sideshow that isn't as important.

Why are me and BTG the evil masterminds here? Don't you think we would have consulted the others before doing something?

Because there is no one who hasn't complained.

I guess. Do what you guys think is important, I just think it's overreacting.

Well, if you did, then all of you look like you're doing a sloppy job. Just my opinion, though.

Because obviously, everyone has spoken. Because obviously, we need to be herded because complaining means that you're a big baby. Because obviously, what you did was for the betterment of all goodness and didn't take away any funtimes at all.

Yeah. I see it. I just don't agree with it.

Come on Ace... You even deleted Jitka's and my posts, you could have waited a few pages and turned this into an epic practical joke.

And I'm not saying Ace is the only one involved, but he deleted those posts discussing the page 999 idea.

I didn't do that. Way to freaking jump to conclusions.

Next time you want to say something how about thinking before you do it.

I told him you did that. Somebody did, to better conceal the joke plans we totally should have done. Maybe it was Ju Ju.

Way to twist everything I say around at me.

Not like it's never been done before though. You're like the 999th person to do such a thing.

Guys, get off your arses, stop complaining, and post. Make threads! BE BOLD! We're trying to increase user content, not destroy your only means of entertainment.

Second of all, if this is some sort of "lol page 1000" prank or something, why would they start it 50 or so pages too soon?

It was the proposed plan by some users; nobody (at least I hope not) is thinking of this as the Page 1,000 prank.

Oh, and this was supposed to be the page 1000 prank...
I guess what I said to Ace doesn't apply to BTG though, he just deletes posts left, right and centre. He probably doesn't even read them. :p

You are all insane.

First off, if this is a prank, then why do you wanna ruin it? Why would you wanna be a jerk and ruin other peoples fun? Because it makes you look smart? Cool? Popular? No, it just makes you look like a jerk.

Second, Stop freaking complaining, its not like its going to stay locked forever.

On an unrelated note, here's the full story:

People were getting annoyed at RT, there was talk of a lock.
Jitka and I thought it would be a fun joke to lock it page 999.
Mods were onboard, they deleted all discussion of the idea.
Then mods got all OH NO DRAMA BAD WE LOCK IT FOR SERIOUS NOW

So the prank never happened.

You guys seriously suck at pranks. First off, locking it at page 999 would make it obvious. Second, how would page 999-1000 be a "Holiday" or "cataclysmic Event"? Doesn't it just show that we haven't had lives for the past year or so?
