Dear Strangler:

No one wants to hear about some stupid time traveler from the future. Afterall, it's probably just one of us who is sitting in their cube at work bored out of their mind trying to find something to do...

Its not like the board is overflowing with pointless banter.

And it lightens the whole nothing going on scenario.

Afterall, nobody has a problem with what GM posts, so why not let some random kid or adult have some pointless stupid fun on an internet forum as long as he doesnt flood it with mindless pointless threads?

EDIT: Why not close the diamond thread?

Me and Sony are talking about hypothetical sword and gun fights in the future.

Oh Noes! Not talk about the future! Repent!

The thread got closed because he double-posted. You know how taboo that is. Now it has finally come back to bite someone. People will learn, double-posting is strictly prohibited!

It got closed because Strangie doesnt like people pretending to be something they arent on the internet. (or so it came off as)

because everyone, everywhere tells the truth on the internet. Given that logic, Gamemaster has no feet.

What if.....he's not pretending

But really though, why would you make something like that up just to relieve the boredom of your own pathetic, dead end job where all your coworkers went out to lunch but you can't because you have a plane to catch soon and so must stay to catch up on work? No responsible person would make up something like that, it would be wasting everyone's valuable internet time.

I really liked that thread.

If he says he's from 2342, why not give him the benefit of the doubt.

Because posting anything else on this forum is well worth everyone's valuable time? Perhaps people should stop writing books too ...or *cough* sims stories * cough* because to read them, let alone write them, would just be wasting time.

If he's not pretending, then I guess Professor S will lock this thread too.

And who said he was bored at the job? Who said he has a job? Who said the person is a legal age to work?

Maybe he did it just because? Who really cares?

But Professor S reminded us all the valuable lesson, that the internet is serious business.

You cant get more serious than a forum about gaming, where conversations about diamond swords, shoes, and "omg, My post count is higher" threads run rampant.

Professor S · 10-21-2005, 03:01 PM

Typhoid, or should I say "Che Gueverra of the Internet", I closed the thread because it was a waste of bandwidth and possibly the most annoying thing I've ever seen, next to your posts when you first joined. Call me Adolf "Capatin Censor" McStalinfascist if you want, but I feel I'm doing my job as a Moderator on a private forum and keeping the information contained at a certain intellectual level (however arbitrary that line may seem).

If you have a problem with my decision, complain to a Admin... oh wait, one already responded and he agrees with me. I guess your **** out of luck, then.

Have a great day.

Re-read what I said, but this time pretend it's Conan O'Brien talking. That should explain everything. I can't tell you anymore without spelling it out.

I realize that this is kind of late and off topic, but I just wanted to add that I have always had a problem with what GM posts.

/me shrugs and walks away

You have 24 hours to explain to everyone here what your problems consist of.

On your mark.

Get set.

Go.
