It got deleted. Not locked, DELETED. And I have noted Ben about this but have not recieved an explanation in sufficient time. Neither was I contacted by orgnote in the first place as 2 WHY it was deleted.

There4 I ask, WHY was it deleted? Asiam posts with unhindered swiftness, but I, I am deleted!!

ALWAYS deleted.

No more.

"unhindered swiftness"?

U read.

How about "wild abandon"?

Or "alarming frequency"?

Or "blithe indifference"?

"unhindered swiftness" just struck me as funny.

And I don't mean funny Ha Ha.

But that's really not here nor there.

The point is, where is my thread?

Knucklehead.

P.S. I like "unhindered swiftness"...so don't question the poet.

Fair enough. To answer your question, Ben deleted it with unhindered swiftness.

2the9s said:

R u sure it was Ben? Was there any reason given?

How do YOU know?

Oh sure, Ben, come back from the celebration thinkin' ur all high 'n' mighty, huh? Wanna pick on us stiffs who stayed at home huh?

Neppy, it's like this. Within the online fansite community, there's a pecking order that judges your cred by how much of a bad-ass you are. You see, a secret society of on-line fansite lurkers actually come on to sites like this and many others and lurk, noticing how many threads get locked and/or deleted on a regular basis. These judges, who go by names like "Ruth Buzzi", "Jaye P. Morgan" and "Kaye Ballard", then report back to a secret Internet committee, who then puts a mark in the Fansite Operators' Badass Book as to their progress each day.

Before Matt, Ben and the gang started getting busy with the crackdown here on the org, their bad-ass level was down there with "ClothesForCats.Org", "DennisDeYoung.Org" and "AdultDiapers.Org."

Now that they've flexed some muscle, their bad-ass quotient is at least up there with "MrWinkle.Com" and "Stryper.Net", and should very soon be approaching the same bad-ass strata as "LogginsAndMessina.Com" or "DeeFromWhatsHappenin.Org".

Simply put, to quote a very mystical philosopher: "Watch yourself. You mess around, you'll get beside yourself."

Well you'll just have to start a "MIA MIA Orgers" thread then I didn't see the thread actually Nep, what was the problem with it? I'd be very surprised if anyone deleted or hid it without contacting you and telling you why ... I've no idea what's going on there...

Wow it was deleted so quick I did not even see it.

ian said:

I dont know what the problem was. I simply listed orgers who havent posted in a while...and encouraged others 2 do so.

The next time I logged on it was gone.

That does suck...

They also deleted my Texas boy beaten by Preacher topic as well... I don't exactly know why.

I even went so far as to ask what Prince would think about the happenings... you know, to keep it on topic.


Well... such is life.

SmegHead said:

Well this is what happens when you close down General Discussion in a hissy fit and then leave it closed for weeks

Nep2nes said:

I'm sorry, I just can't get past "unhindered swiftness." What on earth were you thinking with that phrase, Nep?

That has been bothering me all day...

Okay, I'll let it go.

I just wish Ben would show some more "unhindered swiftness" and bring the gd forum back.

Could you actually be swift if you were hindered?

Fuck, now this is bothering me.

bkw said:

You see? There's that damn phrase again! ::

bkw said:

Exactly!

xcuse MI ahhh

I AINT MISSIN

Im right here LOL

GODBLISS YA

laughter is devine
think grapes

I would just like to say that I am not a member of the Secret Society of Orgers. Also, as surprising as it may seem, I have not been approached to be a mooderator nor would I suggest I become one (no thanks, Ben... Keep the thankless job )

hmpf. weren't you saying how cool matt was shortly after he and I got into a pretty public battle about this? hahahahaha


this is where i make one of those gawd-awful Nazi coming for the Jews remarks that usually make me so

ian said:

for all the complaints about the npgmc not being specific with their intent...one would think that Ben and Co. would give a specific statement on the future of the GD forum...

IMHO!!!

subyduby ate it

Maybe we should have Thread Watchers... people who keep an eye on the threads amd make sure no one takes off with it.
