It's so sad that Machie's threads are being deleted all over the forums.. They really generated a lot of posts, even if they're not the kind that some particular individuals would prefer to see. They make this place fun to just come and be random.. not so damn serious like pretentious literary prize winners and whatnots.. Maybe not everyone comes here to write a dissertation on how they're schizophrenic and wanting all the attention by spewing their emo guts out for a GAD. Maybe not everyone comes here to post an epic masterpiece of a short story or a review or a cheat or walkthrough. Maybe not everyone here is into wrestling or even into video games!

Maybe some people like to come here for the sheer helluvit, to just see their online friends and say hey.. or just post what they're eating or the song their listening to at the moment, or an occassional rant on the inequities of society (or the office..).

I'd hardly call these threads forum killers when they've sustained this place with more posts than any of the other threads posted.

Please don't censor the forums.

Surely by the age of 27 you should have learned that you dont deal with attention seekers by giving them more attention. :)

Funny, the other day this pummelling from you boys accounted for over 200 posts here.. more posts this place has seen in over a month. Not that I prefer being your emotional punching bag, but maybe what this place lacks is a jolting prod of controversy up it's a**e to generate a good flow. I'm glad to oblige, but can we let up with the "I hate Ladybird" fest already? I get it and rest assured I don't think kindly about you PM crew either. How I wish they'd unban your crypt, so you can you'd scat back yonder.. We were a kind people here at Freeola before you decided to reinfest. Come to think of it, we had a decent flow of daily posts then too.

Today, you're standing out above all of them. :) *cheers*

you seem to have added the word "magnet" by mistake.

maybe if all the issues involve you, it`s not everyone else that`s the problem. look over the other threads and you`ll be amazed how many are getting by just fine without any ructions. curiously, they`re the ones you`ve stayed out of. baffling.

actually, y`know what? sod it, "everyone is an a$$ except for you", that`s clearly the only way you`re capable of looking at things.

the saddest part is that (as far as i understand) you`re in your mid 30`s; i`m 27 and can scarcely believe i`m having this exchange, not least with someone older than me. the only reason i`m dignifying any of your posts with a response is because i AM 27 and i know full well that i don`t have to take it - here OR in life.

If anything this thread validates for me, is that I am certainly an a$$h01@ magnet. I've always had a niche in rounding up the SR/Freeola raffians and I seem to have successfully done it single-handedly in just this one thread. Behold. *blows smokin' guns* Looky thar, I've even drawn out a sleeper.. go me.

Hi Panda ;) Meh lahv you loong tyme.

I don't think it was either staff mods or user mods, it was just Machie editing their titles to 'Delete Thread' after someone in Tony's topic said they were 'forum killers'.

Pretty much. Just re-read Watchmen and found it relevant.

So it's actual staff moderators deleting threads? Threads that for better or worse, contribute to keep a dying forum alive? That's insane IMHO. As long as it's not spam, pretty much anything should go. :D

Mods don't have the power to delete threads, only to edit them and delete posts. From the buttons I have, anyway.

Who guards the guards themselves? Is that it or does my Latin escape me?
