Okay, we all know it is Vacation time

[reverendflash]

Let's not clog up Random with threads about how long you are going to be gone...

This isn't a chat room...

Go on vacation, then come back and tell us about it...

Otherwise, all we will see is "I'll be back" threads...

A blatant cry for attention.

Think before you post a new thread.... Is this needed, has this been done before/to death...

Random is supposed to be a fun space, <u>not</u> filled with Spamorific threads because adolescent people are bored...

Don't make us take drastic measures again! You know what I mean, if you don't, ask someone who has been here a while...

Have fun this summer, just don't leave notes that you are leaving...

Okay?

*sigh*

[reverendflash]

I hope that is a good sigh...

we have had 6 threads on who is going away for a month...

Come on!

It's summer, we all go on vacation/holiday...

I can only seem to see one thread.

Okay, so you got rid of the 'spamerific' threads, which is good. But I think its fine now, if you keep going then its going to end up where nothing will be posted. I can't help but notice that random has slowed down lately, don't take it too far on what can and can't be posted :-\

Just my opinion =)

People are on holiday, the forum is going to be slower.

That does not mean it is the adolescent bored people's resposibilty to make up the post counts.

I found these with a quick search of the word "bye"

I found 4 in just the last 3 days...

Just because the forum is slow, does not mean to create useless Spamorific threads to take up the room...

Don't take this as a repremand, take it as "okay, enough of the goodbye threads."

i agree:thumb: im tired of seeing people say they are going somewhere and then 10 people reply to it, even though they are all the same.

I'm just trying to keep it from getting to the point we had recently, where the non-spaminators get tired of going through useless threads, and leave. This is not a gathering place for 15 yr old boys to get rid of their boredom by posting threads to see their words get on the internet.

would you rather someone else do this, or better yet rather see random become a chat room for around 10 people?

I sort of have to agree with reverendflash on this one, spam is annoying when two or more different threads are similar and instead of making one bug thread involving the subject, they each make seperate ones concluding wasted threads, well in my point of view anyways.

[senocular]

Im just givin ya a hard time rev ;) Im glad you're doing it and not me :) (whew, thats a load off)

[reverendflash]

Thanks Sen...

I'm trying to make random fun for all, including all of the "old-timers" who used to hang out here...

If we calm down the amount of useless threads, they will come back to the good ones, and Random can be a place of fun again...

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[h88]

Indeed it would, thanks for posting this thread rev, I hope random would be the old random again.

[reverendflash]

no prob h88, with Phil gone, someone has to step up for Random...

as a group, I am sure we can police this issue, without any harm or hard feelings from anyone...

I feel it is okay to be silly once in a while, but to create silly threads just to see Random become busy is not right. There is an age minimum on purpose. We are all mature enough to handle the responsibilty, we just have to act it. JMO tho.

[h88]

asphaltcowboy.postcount = postcount+3

You see? These three posts were pointless and had just clattered the thread which is intended to be viewed by members to stop posting ''such-non-sense'' threads rather than continuing. However, this is decreasing the rate in which members would actually listen to what Rev had posted in the first page. I wouldn't actually ask you to delete what you have posted, but just stop.

[asphaltcowboy]

ok man.. you understand it was a joke right?

[reverendflash]

even a joke is not always welcome asphalt...

try to cut down on the amount of one line/useless posts, please!

this has been a topic of conversation between mods... don't let it get worse...

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[asphaltcowboy]

really? erk! as you say boss :) just trying to liven this place up a bit :)

[h88]

We didn't ask you asphalt, neither anyone else, this is a discussion forum, no one had ever asked you to 'liven this place up a bit' by spamming, this is GETTING worse, seriously.

My point exactly. Why is it your responsibility to "liven this place up?"

I know you mean well, but come on, you are an intelligent 19 yr old. Act like it and post stuff that other members will appreciate, not just sillyness...

Revhttp://www.aulman.com/rev.gif

[asphaltcowboy]

aye, I do. I am of the belief that I do bring something positive to the forum, even if I'm not serious all the time

[reverendflash]

being serious is not the issue.

Nonsense posts, just to try and be funny are not needed... and they clog up the forum and actually do harm.

If you were at a party, how would you feel about the guy who interjects nonsense into every convo? You'd prob think he was an immature geek...

look at this like a large ****tail party, at your boss' house...

I was about to post "I'm unemployed" but... hmm.. seems less appropriate now :) listen, point taken, I'll try to calm my l33t posting skills - I should be working for kit by next week and for the tiny amount of work she does.. I'm sure she'll be dumping plenty on me :beam:

[Kitiara]

I read that. :)

Your workload is now doubled matey... :P

Sorry, just couldn't resist this one

[asphaltcowboy]

bugger! I didn't think she was watching! d*mnit rev! now you've got me in real trouble! :) I mean, don't get me wrong rev.. I fear you like nothing on this earth... but kit... now that's a WHOLE other kettle of fish ;) (esp when I'm working for her :P)

This thread has become exactly what I was trying to get rid of...

so now, even though it is a "sticky" , I am going to lock this thread.
