    I was homeschooled before. Honestly I did't like it. The shorter hours were nice but there were no members of the female persuasion for me to flirt with while the instructor is talking and that has become a habitual trait for me. ;)

    All right, has anyone else noticed the deletion of topics and/or posts that has been going on lately ?

    I can understand the locking of topics not pertinent to this board, but altogether deleting things seems just plain wrong to me. I think the locking of a topic is more than enough and that deletion is unnecessary unless a particular topic and/or post is blatantly offensive.

    This board should be fun, yes, but censoring it into being a shining/fun/happy place saps a LOT of the fun out of it. I find the whole thing to be a tad bit annoying.

    Any particular cases Zero?

    There was an evening a couple weeks ago when Mac went delete happy - mostly posts criticising him.

    It shouldn't, but it happens.

    Well, Qmech, going through my own post history, I can pick out a couple of examples right away.

    The first example would be that topic from last night that was locked after about 5 posts. I believe the topic name was, "I'm GAY" or something to that effect. The entire topic appears to have been deleted this morning even though it was already locked.

    The second example is the incident I was posting about in this thread the other night. There was some topic posted by Mortonjr69 and he got a bit surly in it, so I posted a sarcastic reply to his last post. When I was looking through my post history this morning, a few posts from the bottom of the topic had been deleted. [Edit] Including my own post.

    In any case, I am absolutely all for the sanitation of this board, but not beyond locking and/or the deletion of blatantly offensive posts. Deleting any post that isn't syrupy sweet and cavity inducing is not the way to go about it.

    Not to mention the fact that I've noticed posts by DragonMaster that were blatant "attacks," if you will, that were never deleted.

    DM's fallen out of favour. He's from a bygone era.

    I think he's seen what's happening, and changed tack to regain popularity.

    But it's misguided. Now people just think he's rude.

    Well, I'm not overly concerned with anything DragonMaster posts, beyond the fact that posts that are arguably on the worse side are being left up in favor of deleting other posts and topics.

    My main issue here is the unnecessary censorship that appears to be going on. Something should not be deleted simply because one individual does not approve.

    I got a small chuckle out of that reference, MC. Although, Qmech may, or may not have gotten it, since he isn't from the U.S.

    And I do suspect that I know who's been doing the morning censoring. Although, I can't say I have a problem with this person in general, but I do have an issue with their methods and one or two of their views on post/topic censorship.

    Look at this newly locked topic for an example.

    Hello all. What's all this talk about me making the next thread? Well, if people want me to I have no problem with it. And no vorn, I have not ever made the thread. ;) It was CaptKirby, then Cheat made a few, then mac, and now this one.

    Looks like I won't have much puter time for the next week. Which means I'll miss vorn's 50k. [face_cry] Cause from tomorrow till Tues I will be with my dad and then Christmas day till the 28th I will be out visiting relatives. So pretty much no jab other than today and some maybe Wed, Xmas Eve.

    You should catch yourself when typing a known phrase, then modify it to be slightly different. I sometimes get a "boot" out of doing such.

    When used in conjunction with Harry Potter, yes. In seventh grade, I think I referred to him as Hairily Platted.

    Or perhaps it was the series you could best relate with... ;]

    I'm leaving; I came on to use posting to pass time, and the amount I needed to dispose of has elapsed.

    TAKE CARE.

    In what suitcase...?

    Ask qmech. He has an answer for 88.631% of the questions you would ask.

    Well, have a nice holiday jab. :)


    Hopefully, I won't miss vorn's highly-anticipated 50K post. Whenever that occurs, that is. I'm currently pondering about what should I do when I do post up my 30K?


    The real dilemma and problem here is that I'm a reg on like 3 different community boards and I would hate to cross post them on all of them. I'll probably have to narrow it down to either one or just two boards in that case.


    Even though I seem to lurk a lot, I do have "home boards" as well, namely the FF Board and PlayStation Community board. I'll try to think of something nice for my 30K though. Anyways, I'll post around a bit and see what happens. Playing FFI again later on today.

    Hi everyone!

    Talking about Harry Potter, are we?

    The Harry Potter Book series is awesome. Although I have heard people complaining about the last.
