Guest Teal-y Dan Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Yeah, no shit, that asshole. I had a dream of Marvin, Leena, and wildpegasus enjoying one another's company, but it was not meant to be. Propagating this great new "everyone here is a misogynist" meme has certainly been the silver lining, though! Glad we have that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I'm just not sure what it's supposed to be anymore. At first, I dreamt of a land where all the posters that we pretty much all agree are shitty live together and we watch with sick fascination while Leena tore them apart until they either improved or moved on. That is not what I got. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Teal-y Dan Report post Posted April 7, 2008 Haha. But seriously, what's the point of punishing people in a novel way if they're just going to bitch their ways out of it? It's pointless. I failed. Maybe I'm just not on the same wavelength as everyone else, but I can't take a folder called "The Gulag" seriously. I would just have fun with the concept, like the time I got suspended from the WWE folder so I set up shop in the abandoned Graphics & Testing Grounds. Oh well. It'll be gone when we switch to email login. EDIT: Apparently there was a moderately funny thread about the whole ordeal over in Chocko. See, that's what this was supposed to yield. Good work.

Not in your case... you're just a racist unless "them kind of people" are doing good for your sports teams, entertaining you musically, or just being a non-factor in your world... you're a pitiful shell of a man, and you have been exposed for who you really are.

Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I guess I just don't like the idea of VX potentially fucking with my anti Packers rants that I plan on unveiling next season when they go 5-11. That's really silly of you to assume I'd do something petty like that. Conversely, you should be aware that there are two Bears fans and an SC fan on staff as well. We all balance each other out, as seen here: I guess I just don't like the idea of VX potentially fucking with my anti Packers rants that I plan on unveiling next season when they go 5-11. If he pulls that, I'll put them right back. I'll only pull posts I see fit to pull. To paraphrase Agent, internet discussion is like a fungus, it's best left alone in a warm, moist environment to grow. This might have been mentioned before, but apparently it bears repeating: The biggest difference between our mod staff and previous ones is that we don't intend to just slam down decisions and that's that. The staff folder is extremely active and we're constantly discussing board matters and suggestions, so keep that in mind- we all have an equal say in what goes on. If a decision is made, it's usually made uninamously, such as the matter with MikeSC. We're pretty diverse in opinions, and we might disagree on what's best for the board, but if we can't all come to a compromise, nothing will get messed with. I don't see a situation like that arising, so for the most part, just remember we have a system of checks and balances here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 De-modding Agent, albeit temporarily. He's one of the best mods, as he turned NHB from a place where everyone complained that NHB sucked to a halfway entertaining area of the board. Did he? Seems to me I was the one who saved that folder by myself, when everyone was bitching about it. How soon you faggots forget. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LME Report post Posted April 7, 2008 De-modding Agent, albeit temporarily. He's one of the best mods, as he turned NHB from a place where everyone complained that NHB sucked to a halfway entertaining area of the board. Did he? Seems to me I was the one who saved that folder by myself, when everyone was bitching about it. How soon you faggots forget. To use an already stale and unfunny board meme, Agent's the Stockton to your Malone. He changed the environment in that folder with the name change and the updated 'rules'. Also, since I'm short and can't shoot for crap, I naturally root for Agent and as such his de-modding resonated more with me than yours. Note: I'm aware that John Stockton is one of the better three-point shooters, but felt I had to go there to make the joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I know you were joking, Cheech, I just don't think that's an appropriate joke to be making under these circumstances. I mean, Leena is going to think whatever she wants about us, but she's not the only female at TSM. I don't want to give them that impression of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkius Maximus 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I have a solution to the Gulag bitching. They get thrown in there and then they proceed to bitch? BAN THEM. I'd also say if you're thrown in there for any significant length of time and you don't post? BAN THEM. It's a form of punishment for being an idiot and/or annoying. If you don't man up and do your time, then you should be banned. Or just never let them out. Whatever. If people are going to be bitching about being thrown in a folder, do we really want them to post here anyway? I don't think it'd drastically affect the makeup of this forum at all.

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 That's the thing, though, the Gulag is meant as an alternative to outright bannings/suspensions. So if those people want, they can still discuss things with the others in that folder, or bitch about being sent there, or whatever. Or not. Either way. Also, if Czech deletes it, I will scream.

alfdogg 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2008 She's not in there anymore, it was overturned. Or Czech took her back out himself. I don't know, I was out when the whole thing happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Teal-y Dan Report post Posted April 7, 2008 I don't know who took it out. That was probably a lapse of judgment on my part to just do what Venkman said without really giving it any thought. It's becoming evident that the inherent dilemma is that the people we want to innocently screw around with the most (Matt Young, TaigaStar) are the ones who make it the least fun. Though I'm not going to say that wasn't a really stupid question to ask since it had been answered and gone over several times before, I shouldn't have Whiny Bitched you for that, TaigaStar.
