They have been moved to the Moderator Discussion forum...as for the reasons, you must ask MoM, Un4given, Vindir or Housen.Quote:

Ah but If I recall MoM said he wouldn't move them, and I don't think Un4given would do something MoM wouldn't so..........
Well well well.........
Yes he did...but I don't think Housen approves...it's only a matter of time till this thread gets locked up. You might want to post this in the Article/Feedback forum where Housens spends most of his time.Quote:

I know this is a completely new revelation which must come as a total and complete shock to everyone, but we don't allow OT here anymore.

MoM said another guy got his rank-up thread posted and it wasn't closed.
Hmmmmmmm............................
Sorry, AMD has a valid point. And with regard to Arcadian's post a "new revelation" is we are about to enter a new time period in the US and world history, people should be allowed to discuss as they feel necessary. All people of the US will soon be making sacrifices, maybe this is, or should be, Sharky's sacrifice....Quote:

If you think I read every post in every forum on every site I oversee, you're mistaken. It is the jobs of the moderators to deal with this stuff, but they too can't possibly see and deal with it all. Point out the URL of inappropriate posts and we'll deal with them accordingly.
And we tried letting people discuss the tragedy. I told the mods to back off and let you guys discuss it on the first day... and watched it quickly degenerate into the good old fashioned OT we all knew and loved.
We don't have an OT forum, plain and simple. We have a lot of great forums and great people using them, so I hope that still makes SharkyForums worth visiting. If OT is something you must have, whether instead of what we offer or in addition to it, I suggest you seek it elsewhere.
As for any implication of bias, AMD, you have been shown an unbelievable amount of leniency given how often and how notably you have broken rules... to the extent that I/we have been criticized for not dealing with you more severely. So please spare me any attempts to act victimized.

I'm shocked - when did we get rid of O/T - because I sincerely recall gathering my 1700 posts answering "What's better - Athlon or Pentium" 1699 times aside from my first post on these forums, saying hi to everyone, but that thread was locked right away.
Boogs got to GWS answering "Which heatsink/fan is better" 5000 times. No, wait, there was that one time when he posted in the "HELP I BROKE MY COMPUTER" thread that pops up four or five times a day.

If you don't have anything better to contribute then rather don't. And people wonder why OT was closed. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/...2002/02/10.gifQuote:

LOL!
EDIT: I'd better add more than that. If it's an OT topic, you all get your counts up for a while anyways. When that's over with, there's no point in raging about the loss of a "hey man" topic. Maybe there are a few snipers in the mod group, maybe not. I hope not, niether do I care because I don't let it get to me. But the attrition rate being expressed is probably alot lower than the reality of each of these situations. I love you watchdog guys keeping the situation clear, asking about why posts are closed, but mild OT is innevitable(the integrated kind) and I guess acceptible. No reason to start a fire over it. I'm trying to agree with the good points everyone is making from each side. There's good community in this talk, but the base line I'm finding here is that it's trivial stuff.

My final.
On the subject of bigger OT subjects like the current WTC event:
I'll leave my opinion on the specifics out. Sometimes the situation really is intense. Right now the developments in this scenario are stretched out and redundant, sometimes people need to get together and talk it out as Housen allowed during the major initial disaster. I'd leave the def of these events as semantics as it is subjective as to what is major when the occurances are drawn out over such a long period of time. Megalodon Administrator #1 will make the call on this when/if it happens again. Let's pray it doesn't get worse and justice is definate.
