Ah, so the entire thing was deleted when it should have been archived. I see.

@regan
That kitty is genius. Sheer genius. Off to put him in my sig! ;D
@the X-rated board
It was dumb. There's no mistaking that. Its purpose was even worse than this one's purpose: nothing but sex roleplays. Not even good sex roleplays, mind you: they were dopey and boring. Which is why I don't write anything with sex in it: it's too easy to make it dopey and boring. Plus making out with a cartoon guy is silly. IMHO. I know boys suck (NO FF this is NOT directed at you ;D), but that's taking things way too far.
So a couple of RPs first got lost through a glitch, then while cleaning out some old regular RPs, I said, "The heck with it" and got rid of the whole thing.
There were more positive reactions posted than negative ones, but the negative reaction was probably in PMs and AIM discussions.
Ah well. If all of my posts somehow got deleted, the heck. I'd just shrug and post new ones.

Ah. So that's what those comments on page 3 are about..."don't "Agree" with a post or topics about threads they delete em".
Besides old regular RPs that hadn't been touched in 2 or 3 years...the only posts I deleted were those X-rated RPs.
I still can't believe people are so touchy over such...garbage. But again, that's MHO.

i didnt care much about the x-rated. it was more about the really old ones that had over a hundred pages or close to it that held my oc's"history"

Well OK. Even though this is the BBQ Pit, I apologize. I didn't know about the OC. This is the first I heard of it. Really. I cleaned them out all at once without looking. Again, I apologize...but not about those Chad RPs...they sucked major ass. I'm glad that shit's gone.
I guess I'd be a bit upset too if someone just deleted all my junk about Ahriman Wormwood Crowley, the Numbuh of the Beast (he's my OC), but his info is all tucked away on my LJ.
Speaking of whom, I need to do something with that boy. He's itching to star in a good fic.

Something's wrong with the normal quote function on page four, so I'm copy n' pasting from one of Madame's posts:
That's just stupid.
1) I was deluding myself. All my anti-fangirl and anti-forum ramblings came solely because I let some crabby thirty-five year old woman talk me into it.
2) Agreeing on the problems doesn't mean we have to agree on the solution.
3) That you keep saying sh-- like this shows that you don't want friends: You want asskissers.

Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft 1) That reasoning is even stupider than my "stupid" reason. You pride yourself on being a nonconformist and having such "original mind patterns and thoughts". Geez. And it's 36 year old woman, dumbass. You only spell out numbers ONE through NINE. Anything after 10 is written numerically. 2) You agreed with it at first... 3) Heh. 0xFF is an asskisser? Nella is an asskisser? Any of the 2/5 Samurai are asskissers? Not at all. They think for themselves and are very smart and opinionated. Not the texbook definition of an "asskisser". Anyway: KND Forum Woes--Potentially OffensiveYou know what's ironic? I actually HAD left that forum once, sometime in 2004, for something like six months. Back then I had left simply due to a lack of interest in the show itself and a feeling that I had no place there. But what drew me back was that the talk was interesting.
Now I'm seriously considering going on another leave from the forum, but this time it's not because of the show (though it helps that I haven't really seen more than a few episodes recently), but because the discussion on the forum is so DULL.
There's like, three really cool members there who will add something interesting to discussions, the rest are just a bunch of goofy children who can't think about anything but their "One True Pairing" and the latest Pokemon game. Seriously... the forum shouldn't even have a video games section because those people probably don't even know any video games outside of the mascot franchises (Mario, Sonic, etc.)
It's also the only forum where you can make an entire topic of people typing bad-grammared, all-caps sentences full of misspelled word and pass it off as a "humor post" or make a "game" where all you do is count to "Eleventy Buhmillion." Oh, here's a classic: the "Be Yourself role-play." Hint, kids: If you're being yourself, you're not really role-playing now are you?
But worse than that is just how... f---ing romance-obsessed those people are. I mean geez, there are aspects to the show outside of the romance, but those are barely ever discussed and when they are it's usually a repeat topic or something with an easy answer ("Are the DC siblings?" "Well let's see... they have different skin colors...")
But back to the big problem: You know what? Couple-shipping is stupid, and being this obsessed with it is scary. Calling yourself names like "3/4lover" or "NigelAbbyfan", having sigs and avatars showing your couple and declaring "this is love," writing fanfics where the main advertising point is that they feature a certain couple, and god forbid, making web pages... that's just too much.
I know, I sound like a hypocrite, since I did every last one of those things a few years back and the results are still on the internet, but dammit... those years were a low point of my life, not just in terms of the stupid fandom things I partook in, but my life in general was pretty dry at the time. Fortunately those days are over and I live again.
Wow. I actually feel a lot better after having typed all that. Anyway, I'm gonna consider taking a hiatus from the forum, at least until I have the patience to deal with the fangirls or have something worthwhile to contribute.

You pride yourself on being a nonconformist and having such "original mind patterns and thoughts". Geez. So I slipped once or twice, so sue me. It's no different from how you pride yourself on how much you've studied history and then get obvious historical facts (such as the Vietnam protestors) wrong. I'm not really interested in these arbitrary rules you keep making up for yourself, thirty-six year old crab apple. I only agreed with "We need to clean up the forum." When I saw that your idea of "clean up the forum" was basically "ban 'em all and damn whoever doesn't like it!" is where the disconnect occurs. I mean sheesh, you even wanted the other mods removed. Yes, yes he is. He's been kissing yours since the Earthlike discussion topic. He tried to kiss mine right after the Gay Discussion. Sh--, the proof is all over the forum, especially in recent topics. Right, because "smart" and "opinionated" people never suck up... And if any of those people count, then this forum must be full of geniuses.

I never "prided" myself on being any kind of "historian". I studied it in college. That's all. Why are you trying to make me look as egotistical as you? That's not made up. THAT'S A REAL GRAMMATICAL RULE. Nope. If they don't follow the forum rules, ban 'em. That's all. No. You got it wrong again. Only if they flamethrew and caused huge problems. I thought it might happen after I deleted that X-rated forum...BUT IT DIDN'T...so nothing happened! Now this is lamer than lame. He's been my friend for a LONG time--long before this nonsense occurred. HE'S sticking up for HIS friend, which you seem to think is so terrible... They're great fanfiction writers and great fanartists. Something that you wish you were.

Right,
@mods overusing power
I have respect for you as a mod Madame, but that thread felt as if you were stepping over the line when you locked it and stickied it telling James this was coming (It doesn't exist anymore so I can't link it). Not letting him to a responce. That felt as if a abuse of modship.
@james
How can you call 0xFF a suck-up in the gay discussion thread! I read that thread and he was being flamed by regan and scone and you stepped in to defend him. Doesn't that make you, in your own logic a suck-up?
@this thread
Is this the BBQ pit or here in other main till the arguement bites the dust?

@sj
You're right. Numbuh Infinity deleted it after I posted it. It was a mistake. I'll own my mistake. I've got a bit of a problem with my temper (not that this is anything new--I've been aware of it since I was young), and I need to calm down a bit.
The "Earth like planet" thread would have gone on forever with the arguing if it wasn't locked. So it was, and the argument continued here.
@this thread
is part of the BBQ Pit. If and when other arguments come up, they'll go here.

Why are you trying to make me look as egotistical as you? I'm not. You're the one doing that. Actually, judging from recent events, most are convinced you're WORSE. Yeah, sure it is. Keep telling yourself that. 0xFF and co. might believe it, but no one else does. You mis-spelled "sucking up." And we knew he was doing that. Close enough.

Why are you trying to make me look as egotistical as you? Actually, judging from recent events, most are convinced you're WORSE. Sigh. "Most". Whatever you say, O Great and Legendary One. www.grammarbook.com/numbers/numbers.aspThat's from the Blue Book of Grammar. Rules for Writing Numbers
Rule 1 The numbers one through nine should be spelled out; use figures for numbers 10 and above. Examples I want five copies. I want 10 copies. Who's no one else? Not that I care, but I'm curious. Like I said before, he's been my friend for over a year. He stuck up for his friend. If that's what you refer to as sucking up, that's sad. Your view of friendship is warped. In whose opinion? Yours?

Who's no one else? Not that I care, but I'm curious. You argued with a few of the "No One Elses" yesterday. I'll drink to that! See, to me "friendship" does NOT mean you have to agree with each other on everything, or even on some things. I mean heck, every time I talk to a RL friend (yes, I do have them) I always learn about something I like that they don't, or something I find true and enlightening that they think is just stupid, etc. Despite our differences, we get along, and we don't have to hide anything from each other or pretend to be something we're not. If that's warped, well, I like it like that! By "close enough" I meant "Madame actually said something that's close to correct, so I'll let it stand."
