[quote name='punqsux']what has to get out in the open is that a few people around here (jimmie, trust, ugamer, zewone, and im sure a few others) have this utter obsession about flapping their gums non-stop about you.[/QUOTE]
Would you like your tiara, Queen of Drama?
So ~3 people mention Lina every once in awhile. Who cares? Do you know how many times I've seen people say the exact same thing over and over? Do we need an official thread for William Macy to pretend that he's William Macy (it'd be way more entertaining than this thread)? Do we need a JSweeney thread where he just quotes everybody and misinterprets their posts? Or how about a FriskyTanuki thread, where he talks about everybody he ignores.
All of these topics/posts come up once every two weeks or so, and they're going to keep happening. It's not enough to throw the balance of the board out of whack, so let them post whatever they want.
Threads like this however, are just stoking the flames. To put it simply: No good will come of this. At all. Ever. Bad move.
[quote name='punqsux']its been going on for a long time now and as i see it as long as theres a thread dedicated to their fixation, something can be settled/worn into the ground. ive seen the same posts from the same people about you over and over again, keeping them all in here will hopefully either prevent this, or let the rest of us laugh at how repetitive and counter-productive they are being on such a dead topic anyways.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that really worked for the OTT right? They keep posting, we keep laughing and rolling our eyes, but they keep on going. Lina's right, they're just going to keep talking about it, and once again I ask you who cares if they mention it here or there? I don't want to see 500 posts after 500 posts being made in this lame useless topic. We already have one OTT, isn't that enough?
[quote name='punqsux']im gunna request that the mods not lock this, this thread sucks but its shit that has to get out in the open.
thanks[/QUOTE]
No, this shit didn't need to get out in the open, again. It's been out in the open, more times than I could count, in multiple threads specifically dedicated for this very purpose. And you're telling me that we needed another one? Another go around the horn? Because ~3 people mention it once every few thousand posts in an OTT?
At the end of the day, it might be pertenant to examine the positives that have come out of this thread.
...yeah, I dunno either.
The negatives? Over 200 posts in one night, mostly consisting of petty bitching and ban-threats. And you know what? That wouldn't have happened if you hadn't made this lame ass thread (you really could've just called it "The Official incite an unneccesary flame war thread", and it would've been just as accurate).
So nice job, you really accomplished a lot with this one. And it's sticky to boot! Now everybody can join in, and we can bring CAG down to where everybody seemingly wants it to go (I wonder if we'll start hosting FAQs too?). And you wanted the mods to keep this one open?
Once again, the attitude and nobility of some mods truely amazes me.
This thread should've never been started, but it was. It should've been locked after a few pages, but it wasn't. Sure as hell it shoudln't have been stickied, but it was. It should be locked now, and lord knows I would if I could.
