Back to the west and the dog story

While this is Bifftastic, it still wont stop people from worrying too much about how many posts they have, which is the real blight.

However, I hear that they won't be able to canonize Mother Teresa because she didn't fulfill the minimum requirement of 10,000 posts on the Vatican message board...

Y'know, I first thought you were being moderately facetious, but now I realize you're just being ignorant and self-righteous. No-one, neither myself, Silf, nor Dom, actually equates post-count with any kind of status. So shut your bloviating trap, and get on with your life, if you can find it.

While I'm being rude, angry, and offensive, and likely to get myself censored, I feel I should say that I am truly not interested in hearing your 0.002 cents worth on EVERY SINGLE THREAD. If you don't have any-thing worth posting, how 'bout you don't post any-thing? And what was with that Why, Oh Why? post? Yeah, I saw that before you changed it. What the heck?

Get over yourself.

That is all.

This argument (as well as the other half of it) has been brought to my attention. I will try to explain where each side is coming from, since you two can't seem to.

Green: I realize that you have been trying to stop this argument with "one-liners". This I very much respect and appreciate. However, 1) It seems not to be working and 2) You are missing a lot of what Orangey is trying to say. It was in fact YOUR fault that the threads were moved (it's no f***ing coincidence that Chris moved them right after your complaint). Things change, especially when one is away.

Orangey: The only things that Green has done wrong have been complaining about the things that happened in his absence, and failing to take responibility for the threads moving (and failing to even know it was his fault). He was over-reacting to the changes that had happened, but who wouldn't. Remember, last he was on was right after I joined (I think his last post was right after my first); Snake, Sil, MP, etc. still had their original names; and about ten fewer game threads were on the first page. Also remember: he has apologized more times about this issue than you would have even considered apologizing by this point.

For both of you: GET OVER IT!

Edit: Oh, and please don't take any of this too personally.

[Silfedac]

Yeah! What he said!

Man, after that rant, mine sounds like butt.

[Chris Hallbeck]

Hmm. I seem to recall that I was the one who moved the threads. I did it because I'm a really busy guy and I don't have time to read any of the game threads. There got to be so many of them that the whole first page of threads was dominated by them and I had a hard time keeping up with the conversations that I was interested in following.

This isn't anyones fault and nobody is being punished. It's just the natural evolution of a forum. As time goes on there will be a general board, a games board and a Biff board. We almost had a sprite board form for a few weeks there.

[SpriteMeister]

Oh. I guess it was a coincidence that the threads moved then, after all.
Oh well. I'm not complaining that they were moved. In fact I was hoping that it would happen soon anyway.

So, to change the mood (and getting a bit back on topic): Welcome back, Green!

lol Green Vs Orangey..

I probably shouldn't post here seeing as the thread is two moths old...but I've noticed this hierarchy of posts as well....WTF? It doesn't matter how many posts you have, especially if half of them are "witty" comebacks for ridiculous threads. If we were only counting posts that were either a paragraph long or very well thought out, the situation would be much different, and we would have more posts like the type I've seen Orangey make on occasion.

The amount of posts you need to get another star is ridiculously high, and I for one don't care. I'm not going to spend three hours posting nonsense on the forum just to get a second star. I probably wont ever top the amount Domanick has, and I don't really care. Its stupid how much attention people pay to the little number below peoples usernames. It has no consequence in real life, and is a waste of time.

so shut up.

[Orangey]

I feel almost certain that such a sentiment was voiced at least once; I say almost because I don't feel like re-reading this whole silly thread just to see if I'm right. Any-way, the best thing we can hope for by the resurrecting this thread is that it just sinks again eventually; the worst is that people start whining and acerbic-ing at each other again. Way to go.ˇ~ˇ

Seriously, I love an argument.

[the Scarf]

sorry! *hides*

I re-raised the thread, because the post thing is still a current matter...I probably should have not done that, and just let it sink....butt...

Re-read it. Happened before. Still a good point.

That is all.
