Hey, I just noticed something about this forum

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Hey, I just noticed something about this forum

Hey, "puki" here.

Two of the 'Sticky' threads are gone.

The 'sticky' which banned Off Topic posts is gone.

The 'sticky' that banned personal attacks is gone - however, the remaining 'sticky' pretty much covers this. So no rushing into personal attacks.

Now, this is sort of (by a technicality) bringing Off Topic back again. However, don't rush and abuse this - I just noticed it.

Just keep things ticking over and not abuse this or create any threads that are just asking for deletion by default - no arguing (unless it is mild and friendly).

Right, looks like I am in charge.

Hmmm.... Don't know if it's still banned or not.
But I don't come here that often, so I guess I don't care that much.

Get with the program, Puker!

Those stickies disappeared a day or so ago.

However, Indie's 'drunken' post still gotz zapped, so I guess the same rules are still in place. :/

Come to think of it - my thread about me appearing in 'cower.parse' was deleted - that was programming stuff and also Blitz-related as I was in it. However, they may have deleted it as it linked to "Noel Cower's" site.

Dunno.

Still, I rather like the idea of me being in charge until New Year. I'm going to crack open a tub of Pringles.

/me slaps puki around a bit with a large trout

Just because the in depth explanation of 'common sense' has been removed, doesn't mean the rules no longer apply.

Bah, humbugzzzzzzzzz! :S

Mmm, I still don't get it though.

What about new users? There is now nothing to say they cannot post Off Topic stuff. One of those stickies said that it had to be computer/programming/technical related (something like that).

We need a volunteer to post an 'It's my birthday' thread and see if it gets deleted. They have been deleted for must be about a year now.

All seems pretty clear.

Sniff.

But you can still be in charge... as long as anyone listens!

In fact, I have solved the mystery - They forgot to edit the forum description.

Right, glad I cleared that up.

Having said that, nobody probably even reads the forum descriptions - well, except the 'noobs' - but we are hardcore - we are the collective Large - we read nothing, except notice when sticky stuff dissapears.

.

All sticky topics should just simply be replaced with DO SOME WORK! You can't get any more self explanatory and common sense than that.

Puki> Why did they delete your 'cower.parse' thread? Is speaking his name now blasphemy around here? Did he do something wrong? The last time I was around here Noel was one of the biggest contributers to BB. Does he still linger anymore or did he really stick to his guns and actually check out?

Comment> I wish they would bring back Off-Topic...

Ah, "CodeD" - you have not been around much recently. "Noely" appears to be on a life-time ban. I don't know too much about it, but I did find things on his site - I won't say more than that as (technically) it is old news around here - this happened some months ago.

That's a travesty. Noel helped build this place.

It was quite funny for a bit, cos noel was editing his image links, so you could still ask him something, and the anwser would appear in a grphics image.

Think he posted a picture of a cat, or something, to get a life ban. Go figure. :/

Err no, he swore at ... Cannot remeber, but staff

I know Red did that to get banned, but did Noel?

yep, he had a page on his blog site, which told all

from Noel:

I was banned, basically, for being critical of BRL's work constantly. Eventually skid got tired of it, camel that broke the straw's back


Red too? Jeez, it gets worse.

Yeah, but Red literally asked to get banned...

Hmmm...well at least you're still here big10p ;)
I think I remember when you were new around here. :P

Could be. :) Think I've been around for about 3 years. Don't come here that much now though, TBH - kinda gone off programming.

I am here to restore order to this thread.

I am baby jesus today.

Dear...sweet little...baby jesus...with your chubby little cheeks...and your little fingers and toes... ;)

Hey, I'm saying the prayer!

Big10p> I've probably got 6-8 months on you but, I think you've been more productive!
