Yeah, not cool with the deleted threads here.
No thread was deleted. [/waves hand all Jedi-like]
Enough, goddamnit. It was marginally funny when my threads kept disappearing last weekend, but just knock that shit right off.
Yup, I was just posting in it and the message came up "look into my eyes...don't look around them, look right into them...this post does not exist!". Someone is Fooling around, methinks!
What if my theory is correct. What if it's Wilson's little brother, and he has discovered he has mod powers?
Poll also deleted.
We're doomed!
He deleted the fucking poll thread! :o
Christ, this board's a month old and it's already jumping the shark...
Can someone please get a handle on this?
Well...somebody deleted the poll thread. We do not yet know who did it or why.
Mod drama is not conducive to growing this place. I suggest Winston be de-modded immediately, and the rest of the mods decide what to do next.
Winston claims to have deleted the poll thread in the Hive. I think he's resigning.
Winston deleted it. Read The Hive.Quote:

Well, if you are, you should get a fucking medal. Made of the finest chocolate in the world.
Seriously, Lib, if it hadn't been you, it would have someone else. I don't remember him acting like this at the Dope-or am I losing my mind?
You're not losing your mind. Until an hour ago, Winston was a very cool poster.Quote:

You dumbasses forgot to revoke my Mod privileges when you sent me to Room 101. I deleted your snarky little poll, and I'll save you the trouble of voting me of the Island of Misfit Toys.
Fuck you,
Winston
Yeah, time to sing the Na-Na song for Winston. Dunno what the fuck happened to make him just randomly go apeshit like that.
It was all going so well. I was getting great advice and encouragement. Then suddenly, ker-fucking-POW!
Uh, so it wasn't all a joke?
Is it because we were voting to lynch him? Winston, we don't actually lynch people for reals!
All I can say is that there is more to this story. Winston may be able to delete threads, but the other mods could bring them back if they wanted. Fuck, they could have posted Winston's message claiming to have deleted them.
This just doesn't smell right. I don't believe the story we're hearing for one second.
Could someone have gotten ahold of his account or something?
They're trying to silence him. Winston Smith knows something. He knows something about the powers that be and they can't bear to see it released.Quote:

I don't know what you said, but I must disagree.
I suppose that's possible...but if he left his computer logged in with mod access while someone else is using it, he's responsible for whatever they do.Quote:

Actually once deleted we cannot retrieve threads or posts. They're gone.Quote:

You know something about what's REALLY going on, don't you?Quote:

WTF. Go do actual work for a few hours and all hell breaks loose. This doesn't seem like Winston's style to me either.
Of course I do. At this point, you're being a pain in the ass. And a dooky-head.Quote:

I can confirm this from my brief stint with Mod privilages on http://www.idlemafia.com, when my game was running. It was...messy.Quote:

Yeah, at the place I mod, if we delete something it's gone...unless somebody captured it as a text file or something. The board doesn't save it.
In breaking news, Winston got the +b:
mod list
He's now on that list with the title "King of Fools"
This is not instilling any confidence in board management.

Come on you lot, wakey-wakey! It was an April Fool, you saps! :)
In case anyone hasn't seen the announcement, this was part of an April Fool's joke.
Oh shit-can you imagine what would happen if Ed tried that shit?
King of Fools! is my doing. I hope you don't mind occasional temporary titles. Winston did most of the planning for the joke and deserves his title for day.Quote:

Even if the joke wasn't funny (and ftr I thought it was, and it's getting funnier and funnier) hell, at least it's people who are trying to have a good time rather than worrying about enforcing rules all the time.
Exy, I'm glad you get this - it's exactly the way I feel about it.Quote:

What I meant was-Ed would never have pulled that in the first place.
So whose idea was it?
Eh, pranks and practical jokes are ok (I was never big on them), but between 3 message boards, my own RL problems and trying to remember where I posted what, I don't pay attention to everything as closely as I need to. So, yep, you got us good. Moving on...
