I agree, pants are sometimes more trouble than they are worth.

Indeed.

And let me just say, RIP Stealth. We had our battles over cars, and back in the day sometimes politics and even FS2. But you were one of the good guys. :(

Wherever you are, I hope you're doing the double ton with the radio up loud.

I'm like the Phantom.

I disappear for a while, but return whenever there's a particularly striking instance of goddamn retardedness.

where did the rip stealth thing go anyway? it's not on the announcements. we should at least keep the first post there for awhile.

the recent influx of noobs who seem to think noobish behavior is cool has pissed me off for awhile now. fortunately i now have the power to beat them off with a stick, i think things will change with them. now if we can fix the gw shoutbox and the chat room things would be awesome.

i too am dissatisfied with the way some newer members of the community behaved with stealth's death.

I started it by not bull****ting I think, which makes the whole thing even more amusing since my post isn't there anymore.

I restored your post.  I wasn't the one who removed it, and I thought the straight talk was refreshing.

Also, threads merged... slightly out of order though. :nervous:

Yes, and you appear to have deleted my thread/post in the process.

GOOD JOB!

 :yes:

And you did kinda merge two topics whose points, aims and discussions were entirely different.

:yes: :yes:

Good point.  Threads restored, mostly.  Try to keep the jackassery to a minimum.

It wasn't a good thing to do it in the RIP Stealth thread... however...

Questioning a death post on the internet is not in any way a bad thing.

it's due to the fact that Goob's avatar makes the post take up that much. Look closer.

Would someone please explain to me why it's wrong to question someones death? Granted, it was the wrong place, but it wouldn't say much about us and this forum if deathposts can be accepted routinely without question.
Title: Re: In Regards To THINGS....
Post by: tinfoil on June 17, 2008, 07:23:42 pm
it got carried away and it just didn't stop. all the no0bs wanted in on the conspiricy theory and it got to the point where it was disrespectfull.
Title: Re: In Regards To THINGS....
Post by: Nuke on June 17, 2008, 07:41:33 pm
look at it this way

if the death was a hoax and you don't question it then youre a victim of a cheap prank and maybe a few insulted people
if the death was a hoax and you question it quietly then theres no problem
if the death was a hoax and you question it in full public view then theirs no problem
if the death was real and you question it then theirs no problem
if the death was real and you question it quietly then theirs no problem
if the death was real and you question it in full public view, then you are being disrespectful

my conclusion is that its better to question a death on the internet quietly, its better than making a huge conspiracy theory out of it and its better than not questioning it at all. using private messages and maybe another thread all together, or on the site feedback board where its out of the way of most of the noobs and trolls would have been the best way to handle it. of course since its the internet you will have those people and normal moderation should be sufficient to avoid any disrespect.

it's seriously time to shut up about this. all this will ever turn into is people flaming each other because thier opinion is slightly different.

Sandwich was supposed to post an announcement a few days ago, but he seems to be incommunicado.
