Hi Orgers, as you can see the GD forum is back in full effect. Personally I always found GD to be the most fun area of Prince,org, and I guess you all did too based on the number of posts there compared to the other forums.

Don't get too scared because of the uber-strict new rules, I don't think it will change the way most of you enjoy the site and it should make it a better place to hang out than it used to be.

I'll be moderating this forum but I can safely say that the less work Matt and I have to do to run things smoothly, the happier we are. Ideally everyone will just behave themselves, enjoy the facilities of the site, and not require any heavy handed moderator intervention.

Let the off-topic GD ramblings commence!

Fine...hopefully folks will actually *read* the rules, then actually *understand* the rules...then folks must **respect** the rules and the site moderators.

Keep it clean, keep it respectful..inform and assist.
Not hate on and flame.

Lib is watching

Giving you the peoples eyebrow right now

ian said:

I love how you come right out and declare the rules too strict.

Aerogram said:

1 of us

wow...interesting choice for moderator...if memory serves me correct, ian, you have at times gotten a lil snippy with people here...hopefully, if moderation is needed you will respond in a more compassionate tone...

thats ok
rather have
moderation
than
matteration

Zthe9s said:

or hateration?

:O

SkletonKee said:

Well now I think I'm a reasonable guy... if I ever got "snippy" with anyone it was in the heat of an argument. Nothing wrong with arguing, that's not banned under the new rules you know

If you want compassion go call ya momma!

ian said:

well if you just do it yourself and keep matt as far away from it as possible, i'm 99% sure that everything WILL go smoothly.

Now now, what has Matt done to deserve such nastiness...

ian said:

I dunno... ask him. How'd the GD forum get shut down in the first place?

Erm...

Hey look, a butterfly!!

(Ian deftly and swiftly diverts the topic of conversation)

Ahhh...
General Discussion; the freedom to talk complete garbage again.
...let the madness commence.

SexLovely said:

Haha so it's an "us versus them" thing going on eh SexLovely?

Well in all seriousness I've wanted to get General Discussion reopened for ages now and I've been bugging poor ol' Ben to get things moving again.

At the very least, hopefully having another person helping with out when I can will help lighten the load for the other moderators a bit and create a more consistent forum... well, we'll see how it goes.

I also suggested creating a "Flame Pit" forum where people go to just shout at each other, hurl abuse and insults and have fights So you know, I could say "Hey Billy_Sparxxx! I'm calling you out sucka! You and me, flame pit, NOW!". Well maybe that wouldn't work, all the other forums would be ignored.

Ian HAD to join 'them'.

he's always used his own first name
as his org username. Just like Ben & Matt.

It was destiny
written in the avatars.

Is that the rule?

Then, you're gonna have to change your first name by deed poll to BorishFishpaw if you ever wanna get anywhere in life. Should make signing cheques and credit card receipts a bit more fun ...
