Downhome

Once again, you take something I have said, only a single part of what I've said, and have taken it the wrong way. By now, you of all people should realize that I AM sincerely just trying to help. Look at the entire post that had to do what I was talking about there... ...by that quote, I simply mean that if you guys are REALLY focused on making said changes in deleting and doing away with the "fun" threads in WWE folder, then what I suggested would be on ok way to do so. Basicly, if you are really determined to sort all of those kinds of threads out, then do so in a way where everyone who currently posts here will still be happy, and in a way where the new posters who might show up, will be cool with everything. Don't just cast away many of the people who already post here in hopes that if you do away with their threads that it will attract other posters, that isn't very cool to me. Does all of that make better sense now?

I'm tossing out ideas, but I'm doing so only in the mindset of what I feel the staff have, for whatever reasons. If it were up to me, the only thing that would realy change is the bullshit flames that come out of nowhere for no reason at all. That's why those who don't post there, well, don't post there. When you see a thread that simply says "Orton sucks he should die" or when a poster breaks down and just says "you are stupid so fuck you", that's the only problem that I've ever seen. But still, if they want to change the other stuff for some reason, then the least we could do is give them ideas that would make everyone reasonably happy.

You aren't sure why it was locked, because there was't a reason why it should've been locked in the first place. This isn't a knock on Loss though. With all of this confusion, I get the impression that the entire staff doesn't even know what is ok, and what is not as of right now. Everyone isn't really on the same page I don't think. Give it a few weeks, and all of these faults will be corrected, and it'll be business as usual I'm sure.

That's what I'd REALLY prefer that you do, if you really are hell-bent on doing away with threads where people are having WWE based fun. As I suggested that you do with the news threads (but ONLY if you want to for some reason do away with those in the WWE folder also), just created a sub-folder within the WWE folder itself. That way, everyone will be happy, no one will be able to bitch about their fun ending and those who want ONLY actual serious discussion in the WWE folder itself, wil have their way also.

As I've said before, pieces of shit like that at the very least should be locked away forever. Or just given a few weeks of therapy...whatever.

Then move it to GC, as it would fit in better there than in HD anyway, seeing how that is SUPPOSED to be a folder where you just bitch the night away. I'm just saying that it's not good to just lock/delete them, as it will make people angry, which in turn will cause people to get pissed at TSM as a whole, and people will leave. I've seen it happen on other boards, and this place would be no differen't. If you move them though, eventually people will get the idea, time will go by, and everyone will adapt seeing how they have realized they can still post stuff like that, just not in the WWE folder.

I haven't seen a single thing that would give an excuse to be negative about this film, not a single thing. With Batman & Robin almost everyone knew it was going to be horrible when the director, cast, and script was revealed. With Catwoman, most people have already wrote it off because of the outfit and the casting, and with Superman it's the same thing so far. But this new Batman film, I haven't read a single thing, like the others, that gives an excuse to be pissed about it. The director is outstanding, the cast it perfect, the script is said to be perfect, so where does the worry come from?

Why can't you just move those threads, since so many have fun with it, to HD or GC or something like that so that they can continue fooling around? On a related note, the thread that Loss locked today was in no way even CLOSE to anything like that, I don't see why in the world it was closed.

I would just like to say that I am FOR the banning of both bathtubs and plastic water buckets, seeing how more children five and under are killed each year by drowning in one of those two items, more so than they are killed by guns. Who's going to join me in my quest to ban tubs and buckets? If not an outright ban, then damnit, stricter regulations!

I don't know about you, but many times I'll see a thread topic, read the first post which started the conversation, and simply let that be it. Many might not go down through the entire thread to read each and every post. If it's an outright lie, why not just delete the thread it to just clear space on the board?

But it didn't go off into left field as you seem to think, they were talking about another incident comparing the two. It wasn't in any way some sort of Orton hate thread, like we see every now and then. So do you want people to create an entire new thread instead of keeping everything to do with the incident in a single thread? I see no purpose in that, as all it does is take up yet more space. That just seems a bit counter-productive to me. Why you are not allowed to branch out from the original topic to prove points, to compare to other situations, is just not right to me. The topic was about the Eddy incident, people were talking about that, and it evolved into talking about another incident. The topic wasn't so much about Eddy specificly, as it was about wrestlers getting out of hand, they were just pointing out that at times some of it is just what everyone was saying about the Eddy stuff...bullshit. If you think THAT thead was the smark/anti-smark talk, then you might as well close every thread because you'll have touches of that in every conversation. You can't limit everyone to such a mindset. At times in order to argue one case, in order to prove your point, you need to bring up examples of other people, other incidents, and simply other such topics. You can't be as close minded as to not listen to other such things. That doesn't make for interesting conversations and threads, it limits what everyone can and can not say. And as I said above, that's counter-productive. You can't force people to post other aspects, of a single discussion, in a totally brand new thread. Well you can, but it certainly isn't helpfull to anyone. That thread wasn't in any way a good example of what needs to be shut down. I could name you a thread after thread of shit much worse than that. In that same breath, I could name you thread after thread of topics just like the one you just closed, that were perfectly fine and no one seemd to care about.

In case anyone wants to read it, here it is. I haven't read it, and I'm not going to, but I wish someone would and post what they think about it, heh. http://www.latinoreview.com/scriptreviews/...ipt-review.html

Ok, this is the sort of stuff that will drive people AWAY from TSM, not bring more thought provoting posts/topics. It does no good to just go and close threads that have actual topics, perfectly fine topics. If you don't like what it turned into, then delete the posts that were made when it went off topic, started up flaming, etc... and leave the topic there for those who want to talk about it to do so. Make a post saying what's going on, then let the rest of us discuss the topic. The Bret Hart thing is obviously cool to do away with, but why not just delete it to prevent morons from seeing the topic, and then actually believing it? Besides, when you have a conversation, the topic IS going to sway back and forth, it's how things work. Do you honestly expect EVERY conversation to stay on topic 100%? When discussing something, points are brought up and then people respond to them, etc... I thought that was how a conversation works. Other topics make their way into conversations, in order to express your thoughts more so on the original topic. If somone makes a topic about say, Benoit not being over, are we to simply keep the conversation about HIM, instead of being able to bring forth examples of other people not being over, like Orton and the such? It goes hand in hand things like this. Not to mention that the thread that we're really talking about, the one about Eddy, didn't evolve into some Orton hate thread at all. One moron said one thing, and no one else really responded to that comment. The thread, the conversation, evolved from talking about the Eddy incident with the fan (true or not), into a conversation about the Orton/Jindrak incident, comparing the two. I'm ok with closing topics, deleting them, and editing posts, but let's focus on the ACTUAL bullshit that we see in the folder, not petty things like this.

Did any of you guys ever read the review for the script, that I posted a link to in the other Batman thread?

Wow, the crowd really went off for Bradshaw also.

Good God Rhyno just got a huge pop.

That Quizno's commercial makes me want to run away and hide.

Funaki just kicked all kinds of ass, and Shelton is great. That is all.

What I don't understand, is that a guy IS banned, they come back and pretty much at the exact same. I haven't decided if it's more so pathetic or sad though.

No, I just happened to come across that one on the net once, so I save it and uploaded it myself, heh.

Here is another one from the Spider-Man 2 trailer.

Here is one that I just made from the Hellboy trailer.

I just found this over on the WrestlingClassics message board, posted by Admin Mark Nulty. Here is another first hand account.

Ah, thanks then. It just sounded like he did something horrible, which I guess getting drunk and making an ass out of himself publicly would do that. Was this the thing that was held in Charlotte? If so, I almost went to it. I wish I had've went to it, because I know someone who did and they had a great time and talked to a lot of great people personally, for hours. One of them was Charles Robinson I believe, that's what he said anyway. Do you know what Buddy said/did exactly?

This is what was posted at 1wrestling. Just what in the world did he do/say? Sincerely, ...Downhome...
