View Full Version : OT: The Pit Re-Dug
proudfoot

It's been much too long since anyone had a serious fear of The Pit of Strid Sexing. I suggest a stickied, locked thread where we get Garbad to post the names of people for the Druid forum to universally do an Ignore on when they get Pitted. Ok, so it won't work, but it would be kind of fun anyways.
Anyhow, as stated by some other person, the Druid forum without OT is like Garbad without his Ban Stick: nearly impotent.
Actually, I think they said something else, but once Strid told me:
hey Proud, teh Phat Bunny r0x!!!!!!11
garbads not a mod anymore
He did lose the green, but why is his name still in the moderator spot for the druid forum? When other forums lost mods they just had a blank spot.

They just haven't changed it yet.
Edit: And no more off-topic. Tim, you've made it clear to me several times that you don't care about the druid forum in the slightest. You're the last person who should be here preaching about what's for the best of the forum. How would you know? You're rarely here and you *don't* care.

Here's my guess...
Compare the druid forum to other forums. This forum is given a lot of leniency in dealing with a lot of things, and that's because of who the mod was. We still need a mod for when things need to get done (which is why we originally wanted a mod in the first place, just to sticky things and close threads we needed closed), but we don't need a police mod, that could be left to the admin. Garbad was expected to be a real mod, not just someone to sticky threads, updates stuff, and close threads that the forum believes need to be closed, which is why he was demodded. He wasn't really acting as an enforcer, just as a person to keep information updated, the correct threads stickied, and the correct threads locked.

So your guess is Garb wasn't uptight enough?
I doubt that's it somehow.

Well that has been the atmosphere ever since the last official ot thread was locked... I can't see Garbads leaving as an encouragment to stay, just the opposite and if a new moderator is appointed I doubt rules will remain as relaxed as they have been. This actually looks like the end of Druid forum as it is. :hanky:

Don't be a drama queen. I wasn't demodded, I probably won't quit right away, the druid forum will be as great as ever. The druid forum was the best long before I got here and it will remain so long after I leave.
I'll explain more when I get some time, but basically I haven't been moderating this forum for a while. For some strange reason I am not getting reports (my diabloii.net email has been down) and I have been busy so I asked Xircon to watch the forum anyhow.

I'll just go with the general populus (as Ash said, start the barbs :cheesy: )
Mep, I think your getting a little to power hungry,... you can't go around and moderate others. I see no green around your name, so therefor no reason to follow any actions just because you have been around longer...
Let's return to the basics. OT for actual OT sake, not trying to get to the next thread or setting records. All of us take a step back and realize this is supposed to be a friendly place... Newbs come for answers, Vets teach their knowledge, and we have a community that is shared.
Stop the bickering.
Oh and us Necros dont condone actual necrophylia... well all except for that one case of the Necrophyliac Homosexual Duck,... that was a hoot! :lol:

As for me, I think you're getting a little rude. If there's an actual agreement that all OT is to be banned in the Druid forum, mind showing me where it is and stuff, because I don't recall seeing it. I might have, but I don't remember.
And yes, OT for the sake of community, not OT for the sake of being exclusive losers.

Cant say I got all of it but enough to say that it wasnt a movie to laugh at.
And Jet Lee was the wrong actor for the movie, too much hollywood.

They start looking for a bank to use an atm...the first guy they ask says **** you whitey, the second says find it yourself ***** and the last one just forms guns with his hands and goes pow pow....so she is like **** this I am going to find it myself......so they find a gaz station that has a atm so they go in and voila four yes FOUR armed gards watching the place....one of them ask what do you want so she answer just comming to use the atm. He then says you see those 4 guys "shopping" they are out local crackheads so for your safety I am going to stand behind you while you use the atm and then escort you back to your car.

IIRC, it was you that suggested/pointed it out. It was sometime in the 5th or so thread title and all the old names were pointed out and that each old name had "7 threads each." Then you were like "Well what are we going to do on the 7th thread," and pointed out that they ended so it should too.
It would be one thing if anything productive ever occured during one of those threads, but all it seems to be filled with is useless banter of "*omg kills [name]*," "Why is it so slow today?," and everyones favorite "spam." I complained for a bit, but I just gave up and stopped caring all together. If the people upstairs say no more off-topic crap, then obey it and shut the hell up. If they people upsairs say continue on as you will, then do what ever you want, I can ignore them if it comes down to it.

Yes, I was here when the OT threads first started, but I didn't post much OT back then. Like others, I do miss the OT threads. Some want to continue the OT threads while some want it to end because of the "agreement." It seems like no matter what happens, there will be bad blood in the druid forums.

I've read one Dune book, but it wasn't by the original author. It was ok, but kinda sick and stuff, going for thrills rather than plot. And the C&C style game was horrible. Just horrible. But movies... hmm. Too much good sci-fi out there sometimes, it seems, and at other times, not enough.
I've read most of the dune books. The originals are better than the ones his son did.
C&C rules... Red Alert: Aftermath... mmmm Tesla Death Wiggle... :uhhuh:

Orson Scott Card and Philip K. Dick are my favourite sci-fi authors, probably.
For novels I would have to say Asimov is my favorite. Another great one with his Mars trilogy is Kim Stanley Robinson. For a more comedic sci fi, Spider Robinson is great and I believe lives out your way Proud.

The Series a Time of Ice and Fire, is good fantasty.
Robert Jordon could have made the last 4 books into 2 and it would have been much better. But still a great series.
Orson Scott Card is great. Ender's Shadow is always a good read, especialy since its the only one I own...

because its easier for them than admitting that they would've wasted their time on something else all the same
its lies..d2 actually teaches u communication skills
things d2 taught me:
1. how to trade (if i wanted to major in business)
2. how to craft (if i wanted to be a carpenter)
3. how to plan (if i wanted to be an arcitect?)
