Yup! Here I go again! If you look at the thread Got a passion for old schoolgames (which as I type this is on the 2nd page) it will explain a little more. i did add a short comment at the end but.....they DELETED it! They talk about spamming also ( which I could say something to that but I won't). Anyway, It went over 16 pages, if there was something wrong with it I would think that they would of stopped it sooner. All I know is some guy came on talking about intergalactic wars, etc and it did kind of change the thread so maybe that was the reason.It was there at 6am, gone by noon, If someone made a bad comment, I would think that they would have only deleted that post.
They also made comments about people with their post counts, probably cause I said I lost 100 posts on that thread. I didn't post there to get post counts, i posted there cause I was in the game so to speak, and others did too.
Besides the fact that no one is forced to read what they don't want to,well, Ive said enough but could say a lot more!

And you STILL don't get it....the question posed was already answered by Shadow_Puter_Dude with the link provided in post #46...at which point it should have if nothing else, served as a reminder to you and been left at that. But no, you still have to go on and on about it. Established 'adult' members ARE complaining and reporting posts/threads in regards to the fast decline of quality posts/topics in the lounge.

The below clearly spelled out MG's stand on this which I know you read but I'm adding it to this post to refresh your memory. Enough is enough means exactly what it says. Drop it, stop cross posting to rehash it, leave it alone, etc. Understood?

Eric! I borrowed your quotes from other threads to put here as they are pretty much perfect! WTG!! You get 5 gold stars! And, as it appears from reading threads this morning further explanation is needed for a few people I'll take this opportunity to do so.

If a thread is deleted/closed it was done for a good reason and another one should not be started to replace it in the way that this was. This also means there is no need to carry on in other threads (more than one at that!) as to the whys of it...just move on and leave it be. Further posts of this nature will be deleted in order to maintain the threads original topic. When people sign up here they have to agree to the terms of this site before becoming a member...the terms clearly state: "The owners of MajorGeeks Support forums reserve the right to edit, move or close any thread for any reason, at any time."

The lounge is in a sad state with a large number of threads being hijacked by newer members who are more concerned about their post count than respect and consideration for the thread starter's topic. Instead we see the threads being taken over and turned into a chat room like scenario. While the lounge is for off topic discussions it is not intended to be a gab fest where the original topic is soon taken over by a select few pushing the thread starter and those participating in the topic right out of the thread. This is rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate...things we do not tolerate here. If you don't have something legitimate to contribute to a threads original topic stay out of it rather than posting some smart ass off hand comment. There has been adequate time to get acclimated to how things work here (this isn't romper room!). There have been plenty of comments and direct replies given by several members to help educate those that don't seem to 'get it' or just choose not to grasp it...and still the garbage continues. Enough is enough.

and I agree with Star, Halo and Abby.
When you signed up you must have not paid attention to the part that goes something like

"The owners of MajorGeeks Support Forums reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason, at any time."

So, if there's a problem, I don't think you have a leg to stand on. Now, I haven't been around much lately because I've been busy with a new job, but when I come back to kiddy crap like this, it's annoying.

You're welcome to stay and participate in a mature (aka, non AOL mode) manner.

Thank you.

Rather than deleting your post(s) as previously stated I will instead close this thread also...let this serve as a final reminder/comment on this.
