They did take these questions! There's a 17 page locked thread about these questions!
I know, and people are still asking these questions because we've been given the middle finger and told to suck it up. Either we're susposed to assimiliate into the SE++ forum, or move on.
Many of us have chosen the latter.
Or you can post stuff in D&D! There are other forums.
Look. SE is a forum for any discussion. G&T is a forum for discussion regarding G&T.
If someone in SE starts a thread about the 360, they're (to my understanding of the rules) free to do so, but they have no right whatsoever to expect it to stay on topic, or to expect a mod to help them keep it on topic.
If someone in G&T starts a thread about the 360, they can expect it to stay on topic. They can't expect to talk about the movie they saw last week or their delicious supper.
There are different rules for different forums.
If you can't grasp that, man, I don't fucking know what you want. We're not going to make SE into G&T nor are we going to make G&T into SE. They are different strokes for different folks and if you're not one of the folks that can understand or appreciate that, maybe you should just find somewhere that better suits your tastes.

I don't like how these threads get locked. If you don't want to argue anymore then just stop posting. I think people just want a place to rant and vent.
Sorry you're having to answer the same questions, that's terrible I know. Voluntarily being in a position of authority over a lot of people and having to answer questions about drastic changes that affected a huge number of people. That's unreasonable, sorry.
If you'd like to be taken seriously you should probably be less snarky towards people who are going out of their way to be polite to you about your inability to hack change.
So are we back to complaining about the chat thread or are we going to discuss the topic at hand? Because you have NO FUCKING IDEA HOW SICK I AM OF TALKING ABOUT THE GODDAMN FUCKING be calm it is the monkey den a place for calm.
I really don't see how this could be considered polite. Actually, i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that most of the mods here haven't been polite for the past week now.
I understand that you guys are under a ton of damn stress from these changes, but acting like powerhungry assholes isn't exactly helping your situation here. I'm not in support of these changes, oh no, quite the opposite.
But part of a moderators job is to take on these questions, if you don't like having to answer questions all the time then why the hell are you a moderator? Considering the fact that most of the mods here have simply gave G&T the finger, and told us all we're replaceable, along with whippy giving tube the endorsement to be as big as an asshole as possible does not bode well for these forums.
Basically, the respect for the whole team of mods and admins has gone down the drain for most people of G&T. If the people you mod, the people you try to help (By banning trolls, warning people about future changes etc) don't respect you, then you aren't much of a mod at all.
We've been every bit as polite to people as they've been to us. However, if they're not going to give us any respect, why should we give them any? Have we gone around jailing/banning people for bitching about us in the appropriate threads? Hell, have we gone around jailing/banning people for bitching about us in the inappropriate threads? Have we jumped all over someone who was being perfectly reasonable?

I didn't mention the Chat Thread.
When I did I was talking about how I previously didnt mention the GnT Chat.
Yeah, I dunno... I like people from both forums, but I've been thinking about making a Tribes GameOn, but then I stop and think about where I would make it. Probably G&T, because they'd probably be more serious about getting a game going, but the SE people are a lot of fun. If there were some way where people from the two contentious camps could organize games together, optionaly, without being forced into it, maybe it would be a good thing.
See, I question whether or not it's possible that having that choice of where to post it is a good thing. If you want people who are going to be a little less serious, you can post it in SE, but if you want an assurance that they'll be more serious, try it in G&T. It's difficult to have that kind of choice if the game ons are all together. Thoughts?
The problem arises when the choice is one OR the other. Then you have to choose between cliques, essentialy.
No you don't. You can talk about games when you want to be serious and on topic in one place, and you can talk about shit and just hang out in the other place. We're all capable of both. At least I am. And if I can, for fucks sakes people.

I guess I don't see what the big deal is here. To me, this is basically the last little thread that people are hanging on and arguing about, because after last weekend nobody wants to hear about the other issues anymore, because that's all last weekend was.
I'm sorry, I just don't see why there was an urgent need to bring this up outside of "well they took shit away from us, why do they get to keep their shit, it's not fair"

As Tube said several pages ago, there are about three [Game On] posts in SE++. One of tem being a FFXI thread, which I happen to be a major contributer to.
Way back in the day when the game first came out, SE++ folks got together on the Carbuncle server. G&T seems to have congregated on the Pandimonium server, and perhaps a few others.
The latest FFXI thread was an attempt to get members of the old Carbuncle linkshell back together again. It mostly failed, but Xero and I are still playing.
In response to the Clique accusations concerning that thread, we have had forumers from other servers stop in on many an occasion in that thread, and we are not telling them to GtFO. We are being cool and chill about the whole thing.
As for future [Game On] threads in SE++... I have no problem with them going into either SE++ or G&T. I kinda dig Tube's thought about a Cross post sticky in SE++ ruled with an iron fist.
I have never had a problem with further forum community integration. I enjoy SE++'s "red Headed Step Child" reputation, but it is all in good fun for me.

The reason there was a GnT Chat thread was for GnTers to talk to other GnTers about offtopic things without dealing with SE++ people.

The problem is that the leaders here started the chain, and we merely responded as fit. You mods have told us G&Ters oh so many times that we have no opinion in this matter, that we are replaceable, and you've yelled at the top of your lungs "FUCK YOU G&T" right in our face.

Yes, because like it or not, G&T is the first forum most new users are going to go to, because the subject has more to do with this comic than any other subforum, and Whippy did say that. Also, this topic has been argued to death and I don't have anything to add to it.
And besides, that has literally nothing to do with this issue. The issue here is something that will never affect you, yet you still are bitching about it. I guess I don't understand why this is a big deal, other than if you perceived it as a slight from the mods against G&T.

It'll end eventually, probably.
I've given up complaining because I know I can't change anything. I'm not happy about the changes but I'll survive. I guess my point is that people want to be able to discuss this stuff with other people over the forum and they can't because the threads get locked.

The leaders have to show a level of maturity, and from what i've seen of Tube and many other moderators, i have not seen this, and no longer do i expect it from the moderators.
Yes, because like it or not, G&T is the first forum most new users are going to go to, because the subject has more to do with this comic than any other subforum, and Whippy did say that. Also, this topic has been argued to death and I don't have anything to add to it.
And besides, that has literally nothing to do with this issue. The issue here is something that will never affect you, yet you still are bitching about it. I guess I don't understand why this is a big deal, other than if you perceived it as a slight from the mods against G&T.
I think he might be hoping Tube would hold off until the post is filled in.

I've given up complaining because I know I can't change anything. I'm not happy about the changes but I'll survive. I guess my point is that people want to be able to discuss this stuff with other people over the forum and they can't because the threads get locked. PMing a mod won't do anything and bitching in a LiveJournal won't satisfy anyone because no one will read it.
I'm not an admin. I'm sorry if you don't like the way things are run here, but you are welcome to leave. I can go and dig you up the links to some treehouse forums.
You're welcome to stop posting here and stick to your treehouse forum. I see you have one in your sig, and it's as hyperbole loaded as your posts here.

Yeah, but it would have been quicker to just type it up and not make that post.
I didn't say his post was particularly well advised or thought out.

Also, we're not congressmen; nor are we teachers. We are moderators on an internet forum. If you are seriously expecting a higher level of behavior out of us than you are getting, I suggest you close the browser, shut off the computer, go outside, and re-acquaint yourself with "real life."
It is a good thing I made it in time then.
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
this might be a little off topic, so apologies in advance I don't mean to flame or spark anything, but veering off into more why people do take this so personally, but one may very well to consider the forums part of real life, not much different than sending a letter, calling on the phone, or meeting in the town square.
