First of all,


Now that we have that out of the way. I see that you're annoyed about the Pieces Of Eight bug, and fair enough, but it's not the end of the world. It's on the list and will be addressed in time

As for the People's Victorious Shoubox Liberation Thread, well, I think we're lucky that it lasted as long as it did

Just by the way Marvin, have you heard that old saying "you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar?"

I defend my closing of both of those threads. The one complaining about the quiz was in the wrong section and had a thread dedicated to it in the proper section, which I gave a link to.

The Shoutbox Liberation Army thread had long ceased to be funny.

Sorry, I can never resist an xkcd linking.

Actually, I was kind of waiting for someone to link to that.

Ahhhh... The sweet dance of misunderstanding of newbies who don't or can't know better than they're not being persecuted and that the moderators are absolutly right in their decision...

Now that I think about it, it been a while... Time for me to get my popcorn!

It's quite dull when you know which side will win though. And not because one of them is being persecuted... Or so they think.

They're ...not?
Must be an oversight.
But if they really want to be persecuted by someone, I can provide that...

I've always preferred a more diplomatic approach to modding... Enforcing the necessary rules of course. However the mods have the site's trust and it's never going to lead anywhere arguing with them.

Okay guys, I believe I've just been told. and I've nothing to argue.
So with this unpleasantness behind us, if you would permit, I'd like to buy everyone a mug o' grog and call a toast.....

To the Mods, may they ever shake their fists at ignorance,

and to the ignorant, may we, umm.... may we just not know stuff.:laugh:

Now Marvin, as you seem eager to get some pieces of something, hopefully you will log in today. If you can't guess today's game you *censored*, I would even dare to say you must be a total *censored* if you can't get it right.

*Did someone mentioned 'grog', did I hear 'grog'???* :nuts:
