Gentlemen, my preview of SE4

[geoschmo]

Yeah Fyron, nobody died and made you..gack, cough thud.... bweeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Fyron]

I don't see how requesting that people stop bumping 4+ year old threads pointlessly makes me acting like I am boss.

[geoschmo]

Mr Fyron has a talk with the forum troublemakers...



Ummmm, yeaahhh, I'm going to need you guys to stop with the bringing back dead threads ok? Yeah, good, ummmm, thanks.

[Fyron]

Oh, and umm... If you could, umm, file that TPS report on your PBW game by 5 PM, that would be, umm, great.

Well, here are some examples just in the last few days:

From the "Tips and Tricks" thread 01/25/06 11:52 PM:

That sort of question should probably be posted in a new thread.

From the "Massive Planetary Shield Generators" thread 01/25/06 11:52 PM:

From the "SE4 Deluxe" thread 01/24/06 03:25 PM:

Imperator Fyron said:
We were hoping not to have this posted on the forums, and for MM to have released a fix by now...

From the "Bumping 4-5 year old threads" thread 01/25/06 09:58 PM:

Imperator Fyron said:
Please stop doing this... it is a really bad idea. Much better to make new threads.

Then when people didn't do as you requested 01/26/06 11:19 AM:

That gets a 4-5 year old ugh.

Please give it a rest, Fyron. If you think these are helpful, they are not. They are just bossy. Not even the moderators act this way and it is they who charged with this responsibility, not you. Again, please, have a little patience when you see something that you don't like. You don't need to come across this way. Thanks.

Give Fyron a break Slick. You don't get to 15k posts without rapping a few knuckles now and then.

[Slick]

Agreed, I'll drop it after noting that yes you can get to 15k posts and be a nice guy. Add your posts to SJ's and that's much higher than 15k; and I don't see you guys doing that petty stuff. And I'm not trying to kiss your butt, either [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Lips.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon49.gif[/img] [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Poison.gif[/img]


Edit: gotta love them Graemlins...

[Fyron]

You seem to have misinterpreted a few postings Slick. Geoschmo (IIRC) and I had talked about the settings.txt parsing problems a few months back via IM and, like all other ways to cheat, weren't going to make any public announcements, just send it to MM. I was just posting commentary, nothing malicious or petty.

The reply to Kwok posting as Spoogy was a joke, playing along with his post. It was not intended as part of the posting of dislike of frivilous thread necromancy.

Stickied threads should strive to remain on-topic, else they are not very useful to people trying to find the information that is their intended purpose. The same treatment is given to the Newbie FAQ thread.

[geoschmo]

Fyron, if you are arguing that you are really are a nice guy, just misunderstood, you've already lost the argument.

Don't sweat it. Everybody be your self and we can all get along. Every forum needs a few nice guys and a few rules nazi's.

[Glyn]

Fyron gets a percentage kick back from the profit shrapnel makes from every new thread!

So, to help Fyron out we should all only post new threads!!! No more replying to old threads even if they are only a few seconds old.
