[QUOTE="Sajedene"]This thread has gone off topic. Has it outlived its purpose? I think it should be locked now. jaydoughNah. It's beneficial, and generating discussion. Has nothing to do with the topic at hand. Other threads in OT where that happens gets locked with that exact statement. :|

[QUOTE="Sajedene"][QUOTE="jaydough"] I'm afraid of making topics. :lol: jaydoughWhy is that? I dunno. Afraid it'll only get 1 post, and that one will be just commenting on how stupid I am. The last time I made a topic I only got one post, and that post was a mod telling me why my topic got locked. Despite what the Roll Call may tell you making a 11,659 post party is not a good idea, even if you are having it in place of your 10K

Now now ladies, you can fight over the suppy of Pocky tomorrow. Of course, for one of you tomorrow is now, while for the other, tomorrow is not yesterday. Hmm... bit of a quandary.MAILER_DAEMON>_> I say let them fight. :x There's not enough violence on GS!

It's where I learned the phrase "this thread has outlived its purpose." Agreed this isnt even on topic anymore, though i dont think it ever was. Like i said call it Roll Call.

Hmm... bit of a quandary.ayanami_rei>_> I say let them fight. :x There's not enough violence on GS!This is true. GS could use a good ol' fashioned neighborhood brawl, or maybe just one with overly choreographed song and dance while fighting. Unfortunately, the Great Forum War is something that can never really be re-lived... =(
This thread should be called roll call...they seem to be heading in the same direction.soulfood4Which was my point. There is already a sticky for that purpose. That is why I said the thread should be locked already. Instead, I get called grumpy. That is what happens to other threads here in OT that goes off topic -- "it has outlived its purpose" or "there is a sticky for this already" is what gets said then its locked. Its like I am damned If I do and damned if I dont here. -_-

[QUOTE="martialbullet"][QUOTE="Allicrombie"] I think we need an OT lounge called "alli's world', it will feature upside down fishbowls and light up neon toothbrushesAllicrombieInterrresting. Please continue describing this..."Alli's World" Pssh..you couldnt handle Alli's World., just ask MAILER hehe'Tis indeed a dangerous place, filled with everything from sarcasm to cries of "yay!" to reviewers being told that they suck in the most heinous manner possible. :(
Oh, and Saje, it's usually a discretionary thing. Some threads may outlive their original purpose, and sometimes the topic creator asks for a lock. In this case though, it's one of those things where the actions answer the questions. I'd say it's gone much, much better than I expected. :o

It's where I learned the phrase "this thread has outlived its purpose."GAMECAMILLERThere's room for hijacking, however. And it's not completely off topic. I think it shows a little personality that OT itself has been needing for a while. Not much personality, but it shows a bit. And you're going off topic yourself. ;)Yeah, the other point of this thread. Its okay to be yourself. "Originality starts with you! " ;) Your already using our slogan.... good
[QUOTE="ayanami_rei"][QUOTE="Sajedene"] Just following my superiors here -- trying to get it back on track but eh. If you guys make it okay... I will remember this thread next time that happens though. I also wish it can go retroactive -- unlock some of the threads you guys locked for going off topic in off topic. Didn't realize thread hijacking was okay. (gotta definitely bookmark this thread).SajedeneThis thread can easily snap back into its originality. It's just a small bit of hijacking. And there's no point in unlocking those threads for being off topic because they died down to the point where it didn't need to continue, they're old, and also got locked because things got out of hand. :? Why not try to have a little bit fun? Last time I had fun in a thread it was locked because "it has outlived its purpose." Last time I tried to be nice to someone I get modded. So really, what is okay and what is not? Disagreeing with the Mod's, not okay. Trying to reason with the Mod's, not okay. Asking the Mod's to lock their own thread, not okay.
