@ Lynn
I have another idea about the specific thread... Close it completely... we start a NEW one, and carry on without the memories of anything being bad in it....

@ Everyone
I also think that everybody at the moment is strung WAY too tight... two months ago, things like this would have been dealth with quickly, with a request to Lynn to delete the specific post, the person warned, and we ALL moved on.... we didnt look back.

Now everybody jumps up and down, and in reality, all we are achieving at the moment, is to break down the good image of the whole forum. Its always been possible to keep the smiley posts in the open, while dealing with the bad ones in private. That way, everybody saw the good, and the bad never made the newspapers.

All the apologies has been said, carrying on about this subject, will just create more problems, people will get more upset, more bad things will get said, people will eventually just leave.... If we let this die down now, things can get back to normal. I understand there has been a lot of stress lately, a lot of events that we did not like, nor could control. But its time to build a bridge and get over it. Focus on the positive things.

So why dont we all take a deep breath, close our eyes, concentrate, and when we open our eyes again, SMILE and carry on....

thanks for saying us ALL what WE have to do, lady...

maybe you should have tried to verify if the thread was not close before suggesting it, don't you think so?

Did i just mention that everyone is acting way too stressed?????

This pointing fingers is offending MORE people than the pictures did....

Maybe everyone should calm down to a mild panic.

@ MASTER_GUROTH
And i never told anyone what to do... PLEASE DO AS YOU PLEASE!!!!!! as for me, i will do as i feel fit, regardless of opinions.

I think the longer people carry on with this PETTY show of pointing fingers, the more people will leave... as i am about to do. The general feeling of this forum has just gone SOUR.

I suppose in your opinion, Lady_Rain, I'll further drag it down the abyss, but I can't say enough how I like your way of saying things:
Just because someone made you a remark, you suddently say that the whole forum has gone sour...
*applauds*

I agree with Lady_Rain.

We wouldn't want a thread about closing threads to be closed because we all start insulting each other.

Thread direction
Everyone should relax and go kill some kittens <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

I think it's better that Lynn closes this topic now too.

So we can forget why it started and why it keeps going on.

*nods approvingly at Setharmon*

From that picture of a kitten jumping on a green field, I recall there are 2 ways of killing kittens.... :P

Sorry for the french words : C'est le serpent qui se mord la queue !
In english : It's the snake who bites its own queue

Barta

The snake has bitten before and it will again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
The forum always survived.

Just people letting of steam.
I'm just waiting for the steam to be spread by the wind.

Wow! This thread sure generated a lot of responses.
1. To all of those who sent me private messages or expressed their support of my position in this thread: I appreciate your remarks very much, and I thank you.

2. To those who have apologized for posting material of an offensive nature (even if you didn't realize it was offensive) I take your apologies as a mark of your maturity. There are some people in this world who make mistakes and apologize, but continue to make the same mistakes. I am sure that nobody here will repeat the same mistakes.

To Stone in particular, there have been several times when you posted remarks in this forum which I very much agreed with. And you have been here for a long time, I think. So don't worry about it, man, we are still friends.

3. Why I said that I would leave
This is a great chat forum. I always enjoy it.
I visit this forum less frequently than I used to. I am busy doing other things. When I do visit I don't read every thread. Like everybody else I click on the threads that I think will be interesting to me. In general I would say that I have a tendency to avoid threads which are very verbose, simply because I do not have the time to read it all. This makes the picture threads appealing, because they make for quick "reading." Now if the picture threads are going to be full of stuff that are offensive or obnoxious to me then why should I bother coming here? Obviously the problem is being taken care of, and so don't worry I'll stick around. I send a hearty thank you to all of those of you who have asked me to stay.

4. Regarding the posting of links to offensive sites
Some have expressed the opinion that the posting of a link to a site which is sexually explicit or which contains raunchy humor is acceptable on this forum. I question that. Imagine a thread entitled "Links to the best porn sites."

5. I think I have covered everything I wanted to say. Thank you for your time.

If my pictures were offensive I'll remove them !!!

I think what Ub, Me, and Seth tried to do was a warning, but you said something such as " I wonder who that is! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> "

And I did send you a pm telling you people might want them taken down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />


@Barta, I'm not really shocked at it, I just think its a tad bit vulgar.

As have I a month ago I visited this forum not for a coupple of weeks. Not because I was tiered of it, it was just that I was also extremly buzy. But we all know that no one permanantly leave because of the plague

YOU'LL BE HERE FOREVER

sir thats the plaque


ANd now I'm here full time again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" />

For me posting directely a picture or posting a link to an offensive site or a sexually explicit site is exactely the same thing !
I am against both.
Even if there is only one link in the whole topic.

Long, long time ago someone posted a link to a sexual site and i was pretty angry.
I told him than his post was an offense to all the women !
He did not understand why this kind of site is an offense to the women but he had the intelligence to delete his post by himself.

If there were this kind of links in the forum, sure i will leave too.
BTW We have to be very careful with the links specially to certain sites.
The content of a URL coud change and something which looks not too bad one day could be changed to something very bad later.

It's my own opinion.

Barta
