I'm on the left, Thunder is on the right.

(Sorry Thunder, I just had to post this.  Just poking fun at our lightsaber threads.)

Yeah, its just uncalled for. You have this unnatural obsession with insulting him.

He hasn't insulted the honour of his ancestors yet, has he? It doesn't seem too harsh - everyone has a little go at everyone else... ;)

Mind you, I guess Thunder is the final arbiter on this one. :D

MD goes to extremes e.g. this thread.

actually the admins must be getting really pissed off about now (infact, even I, a bit), I mean look at all the closed threads on this page. About 1/3rd of all threads on this page have been locked.
:sigh:

IMO, this thread isn't ever-so-extreme. As I say, maybe Thunder has a different opinion and maybe I'm not aware of all that MD is capable of, but if I were in Thunder's shoes, I would hardly consider banning him on this single 'offence'.

I know I'm not in Thunder's shoes. :) It would all be rather humourous if Thunder just insisted that he was the one holding the phaser, though... :p

That all comes down to an0n inspiring everyone to become zombies a couple of days back, and some inappropriate postings about the World Cup, really...

I agree that maybe this doesn't deserve a thread to itself, but for different reasons to Zeronet and others...

I wouldnt call this a first offence, but banning rarely solves problems of this nature. Banning i believe is for troublesome, damaging people.

EDIT: 3400 posts, man i spend a lot of time around here :D.

Precisely. MD could perhaps be described as irritating, mostly to Thunder too. :)

It also annoys SW fans, portraying them in a negative fashion :mad: :D :)

I fully expect Thunder to post the smillie of the foot stomping the head.  Then we can have..... a smillie war!

Kellan: Give credit where it's due, DAMMIT!

Sheesh. I go and turn the forum into Night of the Living Dead, and an0n gets all the credit. I'd almost give up and stop bothering, but [notices Thunder's shadow looming over]... I already did. Yep. :D

Your so lucky I'm in a good mood and the pain killers for my ear are kicking in. I was going to IP ban you but I think I'll just lock this thread and take the joke for what it is: a bad one :)

Now, seriously guys - I have nothing against fun and games, even poking fun at people from time to time (I speak for myself only on this matter - but it's not a que for everyone to start up). But this is way to much. I'm not going to start a smily war for you guys (and if I see one started any time soon the beginner of the fray will suffer my wrath :)).

Anyways, look - this is stupid. I mean it when I say I'd have IP banned if I was in a worse mood, this is simply uncalled for. I've been a good sport about the pictures in your sig MD and so on - but there's a limit that has to exist and those images are that limit. This is several thousand parsecs past that limit and that's why I'm closing this thread.

Consider this a one time warning to everyone, we've had a lot of stupidity lately and whilst I've been a good sport about it by only closing threads. Nobodies been banned for some truly stupid behaviour and it's only a few who are doing it.

So with this in mind, the next person to do something this stupid (the level of stupidity being rated by myself and nobody else) will be banned - at least temporarily - from the forums. The only previous bannings we've had were regarding hackers, it'd be a real shame if poor stupidity got people excluded from using the forums - so think before you post.

The line has been drawn, those who cross it know what to expect. Let's hope this is the end of the matter - I really don't want to have to start really punishing people.
