    Man, fuck that noise. I just came back. My boss is a Jew, does that count? Will that get me into your super exclusive forumses? Or will I be jailed for insufficient Jewerry?

    Y'know what would be really awesome? If instead of bans or infractions, violators got ninja-assassinated, jewish-ninja-assassinated, like that time when assassin mods were stalking the forums a couple years ago, assassinating people. That was fun.

    This is the last thing I'm going to say about it, but it's just something that bothers me. Something always seems to come up that makes the TF2 thread not there when an update rolls around. Last big update Tube got pissed at it about something and locked it for a few days, now this one. I wouldn't mind having to have a Hanukkah Fortress or something, but as Tube said, he doesn't want to deal with us "retards" for awhile. You know, he'd rather deal with an entire forum packed into one that's handing out infractions left and right.

    But, like I said, I'm done complaining. I understand it's all for fun, and I'm going to take it at that. I don't pay for PA, so you guys have the right to do whatever you want.

    Although I wouldn't mind paying a small yearly subscription or something for a few rights here.

    I haven't been on the forums for months. I came here hoping to discuss the ongoing and official dickerdoodle contest before I leave the country. For shame.

    For the record, I said why only Hanukkah.

    It's not only Hanukkah?
    It's also Christmas, New Years, Halloween, and probably a few other things.

    Basically any day you should be out having fun with your family and friends, the mods get combined into one so people who don't do that, can at least do it all together instead of hanging out in little empty shells of their normal cliques.

    I should sue because the forums are discriminating against me because I'm not Jewish enough. Pretty sure there's some sort of secret irony there.

    Seriously though, I'm in the middle of a Let's Play. If I make it sufficiently Hanukkah-esque (complete with very poor use of Jewish terms in the updates), would it be acceptable? I'd like to keep the LP somewhat regular since I don't know how long this hiatus will last, but I'm not looking to buck the trend, either.

    I understand, I was just pointing out to him that this time it is only Hanukkah. I may have been misreading his post, though.

    Did we jail the non-Christians during Christmas? I don't recall.

    I know you are banned already, but just in case you come back to read this thread, turn on your smart hat, look at your calendar and notice that it is not currently Christmas, Halloween or New Year's.

    Happy Hannukah.

    I agree that anyone who goes "What's this bullshit? This sucks" is asking for an infraction, but it does seem a bit silly that this time red cards are being handed out for reasons like "Failure to be of sufficient jewish descent" or "Failure to make astute stock purchases." I don't recall anything as random and frivolous as those from previous holiday subforums, so I can understand why people have more negative opinions about this one.

    or people could just not get their panties in a bunch over something so ultimately frivolous at this time of the year

    OH NO! A RED CARD! MY LIFE IS OVER AS I KNOW IT BOOHOO

    I mean seriously, there was a pretty broad definition of "Christmas spirit" back then, too

    the mods basically operate all year long trying to keep us in line—voluntarily—and don't you think at some point maybe the unpaid babysitter just wants to smack the baby around and/or have some light-hearted fun? and honestly heaps of people are getting into the swing of it and just having fun with it instead of obsessing over how UNFAIR it all is

    we get to have fun here at the forums at no expense all year long... ergo we don't get to dictate what goes and doesn't go

    that's how it is
