Well i guess thats it

[KNK]

I AM DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE LEAST


Screen door hits my ass>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Mo Lester]

It is probably for the better but i can respect you effort in trying to help a friend. I never encountered ojsakila or pepe but there seems to be some strong dislike for them. Either way you did what you could and we should all be so lucky to have a friend like u go to bat for us.

[Alexander]

Wait...seriously?

[UFGator]

I can't believe the moderators locked "OPEN LETTER TO EIC from JO via KNK". Why would they lock it? There was a discussion going on with no problems. This is a "discussion" board right?

PS. Good Riddance to OJ...

Because a decision was made and that thread no longer served a purpose. I respect their decision. They want us to move on, so lets move on.

This thread should also be locked IMO.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

There's more locking of threads here than I've seen in a lot of places. But does this thread really need to be locked?

[Europa]

Well, I guess not, we could just keep it alive forever and just go on and on and on and on about OJ and Pepe and the reasons they were banned and not allowed to return if you'd rather ;)

I say, lets move on, but that's just my opinion.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I agree that we should move on, but I believe in letting some threads die out instead of moderator intervention in closing it.

[psylichon]

Threads are locked when there's nothing left to say. 20 questions with OJ, for example.

Really, though, we just want people to focus their energies into the topics this site was designed for. Social interaction and outgoing personalities will always be here to make this place awesome, but when they become the focal point, the objective of the site gets lost in the riff raff. This is just me speaking here, but I think the other mods and Chris would agree.

Feel free to discuss the decision all you want here, but if you're expecting it to change anything or do anything but bring up bad feelings and more issues, you're fooling yourself. I'd rather move on, personally.

[Lincoln]

If you really believe that we lock threads unreasonably, I suggest you look at this image (http://kttns.org/tm1mj), a screenshot I took of a thread on the MacThemes forum.

I don't even get why that was closed.....

[psylichon]

lol... wow, is that for real? That is why I don't venture far from EiC. :ok:ok

[Lincoln]

Oh yeah, it's real all right. The staff over there is unbelievable. Here it is, (http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16797131) in case you want proof.

The only reason I visit the site is because it's the only place where iPhone themes that are actually of some quality exist. I don't bother posting or otherwise participating in any way.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I'd close that thread as well. Look at the misspellings...

[UFGator]

My theory is that as long as people want to discuss something, why would you keep them from discussing something? If you are bored or annoyed or don't care about the discussion, don't read it. Why lock a discussion that is not breaking any rules?

[UFGator]

Like...can we not, and just say we did?

Sorry. I don't understand your comment. Can we not what?

[UFGator]

Well, I guess not, we could just keep it alive forever and just go on and on and on and on about OJ and Pepe and the reasons they were banned and not allowed to return if you'd rather ;)

I say, lets move on, but that's just my opinion.

How about this. If you don't like the topic, then you can move on and not read any of the threads. That's what I do. If I think a thread is boring or it doesn't interest me, I stop reading it. Your theory that if a thread bores YOU it should be locked is pretty self serving. If OTHER people are interested in keeping a thread alive, why should it be locked because YOU find it annoying?

[UFGator]

Threads are locked when there's nothing left to say. 20 questions with OJ, for example.

That's fair. If those are the rules that the people who are doing all the work have set forth, then I can understand that. BTW I was not expecting to change anything. I can live within the rules whatever they are. Doesn't mean I have to like them though:dft008:suprised

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Is there any way to ignore a thread? I've actually been curious about this for some time.

[UFGator]

If you really believe that we lock threads unreasonably, I suggest you look at this image (http://kttns.org/tm1mj), a screenshot I took of a thread on the MacThemes forum.

Maybe they should just create a "Really Stupid Topics" forum and put those topics under that one. I'm thinking they could provide spelling lessons as well. Do they not have spell check over there?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Do they have an Off-Topic forum over there?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Actually, this forum is pretty good and laid back on the whole. The admin and mods do a great job overall with the cast of characters we have.

On the everythingpre forum, If you so much as criticize the phone, certain members imply that you're trolling. They are really uptight over there for some reason. I returned my evaluation Pre early and left that forum because the atmosphere was so tense.

[psylichon]

Do not badmouth a sister site. Napoleon, you're just begging for a banning. Don't make me close this thread, please! :)

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I'm not bad-mouthing the site; I'm just making an observation about some of its members.

[psylichon]

I was totally serious, too.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I'm sure you were, beach bum. :ok:ok

I'd love to able to do that, especially since I like to read by hitting New Posts.

If I could just have it ignore threads with "live" as the second word in the thread title I'd be happy (kingdoms live, racing live, etc.).

Working on resolving that, but afraid it's not an easy task.

[TarekElsakka]

I've been away for a couple of days and I come back to see a zillion threads about Ojaskila? Why did you just suddenly remember him? Sorry if I am missing something, which I probably am, so don't go hostile on me.

[up10ad]

Tarek, it's best that you missed all the OJ stuff, it was just a bunch of discussion, nothing has changed. Go enjoy your birthday.

[iCafe]

Make me a Mod over there and I will fix the problems :)

[MrMike6by9]

I was away for a week and missed the whole brouhaha but I understand your sentiment in that an open thread is like an open door to a cat, I just have to explore ...

YMMV

I'm not bored or annoyed. I think the topic was a little disrespectful. The admin made their decision and we should accept it and move on, rather than continuing to debate it. The outcome won't change, so what's the point? I use the new posts button several times a day here. I would love to be able to click an "ignore" button for certain threads, specifically game codes threads, as I have no interest in games, but there is no option for that yet.

Now if you think the mods want us to continue to discuss Pepe and OJ, consider this response I got from a Mod when posting Pepes' letter,
Oh my god guys, can we drop it with the campaigns? It's getting silly around here. Pepe is NEVER... And I repeat... NEVER coming back to EIC and he knows why. End of story.

There's got to be more important things to talk about. I'm glad you and pepe are friends, Europa, but keep it offsite and let's just not talk about him here, ok?They would prefer that we drop it, so I'm dropping it and I wish everyone else would as well.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I can't imagine which mod that came from...:dft010:smiling

[Mo Lester]

Napoleon, how bad do u want to be a mod here?

[up10ad]

I don't think naps would have that job even if a salary was attached. I know I wouldn't.

[Mo Lester]

Just by reading the majority of his posts it seems otherwise. Not a knock but sort of painfully obvious.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Huh? When have I hinted that I wanted to be a mod here?!?!

I'd love to see my posts supporting this theory.

Where are you trying to go with this, Mo?

[up10ad]

Just by reading the majority of his posts it seems otherwise. Not a knock but sort of painfully obvious.
Mo, you're showing your n00b status with comments like that. I suggest getting to know the players before trying to read their minds.

[up10ad]

Napoleon, how bad do u want to be a mod here?Perhaps you are confusing Napoleon with iCafe? :022:really

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

The ultimate insult to me.



"That's it. I'd like to be shot now."

[The Apple]

I think Mo would make a better mod. He probably already knows all the rules!

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

I suspect he does.

[Mo Lester]

What you seem to dish it out with no problem, cant take a little back?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

What the hell are you talking about now?

Same with me. Your comment went right over my head as well. Think you could go ahead and explain it REAL slow for me so I could understand? Let us know where you are coming from. Just make sure you explain it real slow, because I never earned my PHD. :)

[Mo Lester]

I have an associates from a community college, does napoleon have a phd or something?

I was just joking around with him for 2 reasons. He seems to like to mess with me for some reason and a lot of his posts are the "yes man" type.

Tough crowd

I don't know what you were thinking. I would rather starve than eat at McDonalds. Next time go to In-N-Out and get a Cheeseburger animal style with raw and sauteed onions.

[mittenman]

No In-N-Out in this state, actually never even seen one in my life.

[Europa]

You must relocate immediately then.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

In-N-Out?

Sounds like a porn shop.

[Europa]

That's what she said.

You people back east have no idea what you're missing.

[mittenman]

Earthquakes, wildfires, and stupid heat. Oh yeah, and California people. ;)

[Europa]

In-N-Out is also in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah.

It also gets way too built up from west coaster. As an east coaster originally, I find INO good, but nowhere near the hype.

Didn't we discuss this already elsewhere? Here are the original and modified bumper stickers.

Really good burgers.

come to NY...i'll treat ya to Shake Shack.

[Tinman]

I've had Whataburger, it was good.

Now I find whataburger to be crap. Ugh. Late nights are about all they are good for IMO. Well, if there is no In-N-Out of course. ;)

I like Steak 'n Shake too, if I happen to be in an area that has 'em.

But as a former NY'er I used to have to get White Castle like a few times a year. Had to. And none of the prissy-a$$ suburban locations either. The best White Castles are in, well, ghetto areas. The people there seem to appreciate the job whereas the suburban brats couldn't care less.

Whataburgers are good.. but there is nothing like an in-n-out burger.. omg.. We had those in Vegas and of course they aren't in Texas cause Whataburger is the "texas hamburger" blah blah blah...

Guess I'm gonna have to go to Az for a quickie..err... Burger...But I thought Vegas was known for "quickies" wow learn something new everyday *Howling*

I like Whataburger but mostly for their taquitos, not their burgers. I'll take a burger from DQ over whataburger.

[chris]

Is there such a thing as the Texas Roadhouse in Texas, because we're getting one in Long Island.

[up10ad]

We have them in Colorodo, decent chain, no reservations taken, lines are the norm. Peanuts on the table, shells on the floor.

[Europa]

IDK if they have them in Texas, but we them in S. Utah.

Yeah, there's Texas Roadhouse restaurants everywhere here. Pretty good, but Texas Land & Cattle is much better IMO.

[MileHighRob]

Yeah, they are a huge chain. I believe they're in every state except Alaska and Hawaii. Nothing exceptional.

[Tinman]

Yep, not much different than Logan's Roadhouse. Let's face it, any place where you throw peanut shells on the floor ain't gonna be that good. A step up, IMO, would be Longhorn Steakhouse, if you must have the Texas feel.

Always seems like Long Island is the last place to get restaurant chains. When I lived there I remember when Outback and Applebee's came, and they had been around the country for years. The Outbacks were packed, at least at first. A marketing friend once told me it's because LI is a tough market. I thought it was because there were already good local places to eat, which often did well (e.g., the Spare Rib).
