You decide.

If the numbers had been realistic he could of fooled us.

Fame, has its complications :) Although theres a 99.89% chance its a joke :)
-
I missed something, what are you talking about? What vote did Thunder [not] tamper with? :D
EDIT: ahhhh nevermind now I see. I don't go on HLP for 24 hours and see what I miss?
Hehe...Thunder is as bad as the Floridians! ;)

Because this post is a joke. Thunder, you have to admit, 1000000 votes is kinda cheap...
-
It wasn't supposed to be realistic - it was me having a little fun with MDs poll, threads of that nature are clearly asking for anyone and everyone to do (more or less) what they please - and I did just that ;7
Look on the bright side, you could've caught me on a bad day - which would've resulted on the thread being locked and MD cautioned along with far firmer administration of the forums on my part.
I do have a (somewhat twisted) sense of humor :)

More like you felt the needs to use your admin powers because you haven't locked any threads in a while. ;)
That was pretty low, Thunder, but yet it was...somehow funny
-
Who started the thread? not me - blame some other poor fool for bringing such things upon this place, I merely reacted with the tools at my disposal (and at that, the big guns are still on the rack :drevil: )
-
[heads off a forum with less pathetic topics]
Someone had to say it.:p
-
It's not my fault people post so much about me - hell I wasn't even here when all this happened, so I've got nothing to do with it!

That reminds me, were the language filters ever turned on? :p

There ya go....punish everyone for the acts of one individual. :rolleyes: Everyone! Heil Thunder! While you're at it, could you change the name of this place to Hard Light Gestapo? You might as well since you act like a freakin nazi. The second anyone tries to lighten up the atmosphere a little, you slap your little hammer down on the thread and bam! Discussion over, and its labeled as spam. Even your avatar has someone doing a nazi salute. Is this the only life you have? I swear, you need to lighten up a little. Even when I started out as a mod @ SB, I wasn't near as bad as you. I'll be the first one to tell you that I was a little overbearing at first, but as folks will tell you I mellowed out quite a bit. (If you must know, I modded the Vs. Debates forum....and that was a HELL of alot more stressful than all the forums here put together. Back then half the time people were at eachother's throats over some stupid calculation or whatever.)
This rant has nothing to do with your altering of my poll. I actually found it funny, but there are lots of times where you take jokes the wrong way. Your initial reply to this very thread is a very good example.
Seriously dude, you really need to lighten up alot. Ban me for giving you a reality check if you want. I don't care. This isn't exactly the most important place in my life so it wouldn't be a big loss if I was.
-
There is no swearing filter at the moment - we're assuming/hoping your mature enough to make do without one :nod:
-
What the hell are you talking about? an admit closed a stupid thread, I don't see what's wrong with that :rolleyes:
-
'E didn't close it, he created a new polling option describing himself as god and gave himself a million votes. Which is why I posted what I did.
-
You all had your fun at my expense - I'm not allowed a light joke in return? Nice guys - great balance there.
-
Did I say anything about you?
Of course not! If I did you'd change my sig to something embarrassing
-
Only if you have something about me in your signiture in the first place ;)
Oh...meh, may as well get this over with:
To MD...I don't know what your talking about to be honest - on the one hand you claim I'm being nazi like in administration, yet have I spoken to you about it and told you to stop? no. I took the joke.
The thing you quoted me on was because I didn't know what the tone of the thread was - for all I knew it was a genuine critisism and I wanted to make sure of what the thread was about before I went further. My point being this:
If he was joking (which he was) then fine, you had a joke - I had a joke - he had a joke and everyones happy, fine and life is generally good and children can sleep at night.
If he wasn't joking and people felt that my editing a forum poll on a thread like that (a joke made at me directly calling me a little unpleasent dictator - I've seen the film) was wrong then things would be very different since it would clearly have been ok for you to post the thread but not for me to have a return joke of my own.
Thus if people did feel that way I'd have had to say "fine, I'll stop the return jokes but all other jokes against me must cease". That would be the fair thing to do, not dictator like but simply making sure that balance between who can do what is maintained.
However this was not the case - it was all a joke and life goes on. Untill now - since you clearly have a problem with me (I'm assuming your not joking by the somber tone of the post - if it was a joke its a stupid one).
You attack my avatar? Dude... you read into that to much. I like Rage Against The Machines music and the avatar is an updated stand-in before the Aquila is finished and I can have that up instead. The graphics are pretty and has nothing to do with nazism, communism or any other belief structure or policy.
As for the rest of it - you manage whatever forum you have as you see fit - and I'll do my best to deal with things fairly as they come here. So far it's been ok and the only person to speak out like this seems to be you - someone who made a thread as a (joke) insult about me.
To round things up - frankly I'm a little miffed. I go out on holiday and come back expecting things to be as pleasent as I left them - but no, theres threads having jokes about me (clearly based on how you see me - since the charachter is a nazi like one, and you basically called me nazi like in my admin technique). I laugh that off - have a little fun myself and get this to put up with in return.
I dont intend to do anything more about this - I'm a little sad that you see so many things that just aren't true but hey - thats your loss not mine, just try not to do this again m'kay? I've got far better things to do that type out essays answering people who are stupid enough to think I'm nazi like in my actions.
If you'd like to talk about this further, email me - I don't see how it has anything to do with the community as a whole and nobody will benefit from furthering this publicly.

btw, you were in france, you could have come and said hi :D

Where abouts do you live? I ended up in Rouen for 3 days, Paris for a night and Lille for another 2 days :nod:

This really is getting ridiculous...:rolleyes:

d(oh. usually I'm near Rouen, but now I moved out ( I left my parents behind hehehe), and now i'm at Nantes.

Believe me - I'd have locked it, but I want to get this over and done with so MD can sit down and I can get on with some work I've got to do.
Venom: Ah well - nevermind, all I'm saying is I love your country - Euros rock and soft pr0n at 8 in the morning is something the UK lacks :o
-
Never mind me, I'm just contemplating what a lot of noise a little mess in a single topic can cause.
MD, even if Thunder WAS particularly strict (and he's not that much so), a great many moderators tolerate very little frivolity. There are I've seen who ban people who insist on annoying them, simply because they're an irritant. But Thunder doesn't even come close to the nicer moderators in some forums in terms of strictness. You wouldn't believe the stuff we get away with here, in reference to most other major forums. Just let it be.
I think it's time to call that a close. This is the sort of thing that inevitably goes on forever, given a chance. Neither of you post about it again, OK? At least find something interesting to argue about.
-
I couldn't have said that better if I tried - it's not like I enjoy being unpleasent, I try and do a good job around here because it stops things like this happening. I'm done and (hopefully) MD is as well. Lets have this sink to the depths of the forum and hope it never shows up again, m'kay? :nod:
-
The media would be all over it :lol:
-
Stryke, take a trip to some of the other forums I goto and you'll see what I mean.
http://www.descentbb.net/
http://www.spacebattles.com/
http://www.3dgladiators.com/forums/
Take a look at how those boards are run and then come back here and say Thunder is...lax. Tell me, how many threads in this particular forum were closed when Thunder was gone?

soft porn at 8.00? lol, didn't even know that :lol:
little question (just for myself): did you find french people dumb, annoying or arrogant? coz everybody here tseems to think they are... I want to know if I'm blind and can't notice it coz i'm french myself, or if people don't know what they're talking about.
On the moderator topic, I prefer 1000 times the HLP ones who are fair and efficient at the same time, to the VWBB ones who are, for most, unfair and more childish than most of the people who post there.
-
EDIT: Skip it. Grow up.

Im sure Ace and Icefire would agree with you :D.
-
:sigh:
A lot here has happened that is not right. You know who you are; and you all aren't on one side. Valid opinions have been put forth. All opinions are... coloured by your perspective, and on that, the two conflicting opinions here will likely never be resolved.
Everyone: you don't need to grow up, you guys as mature as I know you are. But act like it, for goodness sake. Don't keep arguing. You know this will not end if you keep it up the way you are now. Agree to disagree if you can't do anything else. And fine, if you want to continue pursuing the topic, do so. But it will probably be better for everyone's health if you can bite the bullet and discuss it privately, reach a conclusion, and come back to us all nice and dry-cleaned.
Have a good day, everyone. :)

I said most, not all lol :D
anyway, Stryke is right, so let's not talk about this any longer

This reminds me of a little saying by Mr. Carlin..
If you plan on drinking all day, there is nothing wrong with starting in the morning

nah, I kindda understood what you mean, but I can't recall what days of our lives is ( save that it's a TV series if i'm not mistaken)
-
Corny-ass old (70s I believe) soap opera. Some countries make their own versions of these sorts of things.
Of course, now it's not funny.

Oh, for ****'s sake.
