Israel shouldn't exist, and Zionism is a religion, not a nation. in Feedback & Suggestions ·
Yeah, I forgot to mention that in this flood of antisemitic forum users, there are some who don't even have Arabic flags on their avatars, no Quran verses in their signatures, or any Islamic rhetoric, yet they still jump in to justify people openly defending suicide attacks by 12-year-olds on buses in Israel just by saying "they have no other choice."

My withdrawal of the comparison to the American War of Independence basically boils down to the fact that the humanitarian aid convoy was led by an organization that’s actually banned in Turkey because of its extreme Islamist activities—one of the sub-organizers of that action is called the "Free Gaza Movement."
The comparison really comes down to a hypothetical situation where aid to the Appalachia is sent by an organization from Mexico City calling itself "Greater Mexico," and they refuse to let the local authorities inspect the shipment.

How much I'm trolling is pretty obvious looking at this thread, where neither ironmarlin1 nor his buddies, the Jihad fighters, can give a single counterargument to the point that Palestinians killed seven times more civilians than Israelis during the second Intifada. This makes their posts about the Wall being used to label a genocidal nation killing Palestinians, and their calls to abolish the genocidal state of Israel, totally justified.

It’s pretty interesting how discussing the right to debate the elimination of a nation is considered trolling. I honestly thought humanity had reached a level of civilization where any decent, educated citizen should support sanctioning and banning public calls or debates about wiping out a people and their right to exist or organize into a state.

ironmarlin1, as an educated citizen (he insists on his education in every third post he makes here), really should be supporting an action like this without hesitation.
Unfortunately, since the Moderator's criteria leaned toward allowing discussion on whether Jews have the right to exist, I guess we also have to tolerate those low-life impulses contemplating the total erasure of a people on this forum.
Israel shouldn't exist, and Zionism is a religion, not a nation. in Feedback & Suggestions ·
So, apparently, most of the moderator votes here say we're allowed to debate whether Jews have a right to be a people or if Israel even deserves to be a state.

It’d be pretty cool if they actually chimed in here and explained how it's okay to question the existence of a nation and a UN-recognized state.
Sidetrack—remember those theories claiming Americans are just Western Mexicans? Can we debate that too?

Questioning the rights of Jews to exist as a people or Israel to be a country feels a lot like some prison-cell logic from the 1920s published in Mein Kampf.

I won't even get started on the swarm of Islamic letters and flags flooding the Israel threads, everyone trying to outdo each other on being as sneaky as possible about why Jews should be wiped out. They don't say it straight, obviously; they wrap it in history or religious nonsense just to reach the same conclusion.

Maybe there are so many of them on this forum because this is one of the few places in the civilized West where this stuff isn't banned—since everywhere else, it basically reeks of glorifying a system that held the exact same beliefs and took the same actions.

So, yeah, it would be nice if the admins actually said something about this.

one of the better niche threads 🤣
guess I'll finally fill out the survey 🙏

😕

What am I supposed to fill out? That poll? Is it gonna be a huge pain? Like, does some hot college girl pay you if I do it?
Henry Cox78 said:Clearly censored. I mean, why even ban certain sites on this forum? Is this that "freedom" they always talk about here? 🤣

No joke though, why'd they do it?

They coming for Anderson? 🤷

I guess it's my house, so I can let in who I want and block whoever I want. Same goes for Anderson on his own forum.
The link got censored. I guess someone blocked the New York feed.

Maybe try running the CD/DVD twice, like CD/DVD.

Obviously there's an issue with this CD/, even just once. 🙂

405 Method Not Allowed
Looks like I'm getting a 405 Method Not Allowed when I try to hit /newreply.py... idk, maybe the site is just broken?


I guess it's just a glitch or whatever... looks like the issue pops up whenever you put two slashes // right after each other in a post.
I guess it's looking at it like part of the Python code or something, so it won't let me set those characters. Maybe?
Maybe someone who actually knows Python better could explain why this is happening.

So, I guess once I just stripped out those slashes from the post, it actually went through fine.
🙂

Example of a post that doesn't pass:
I mean, I guess it’s just a netbook, right? It’s basically got...
Windows 7 Starter... ugh.
Microsoft Office 2007... I guess.

I think his trial expired. Maybe it was Microsoft Office, I don't know. If it were a Windows thing, he'd probably be dealing with Geek Squad instead. 😁

So she went ahead and bought another version of Microsoft Office, then tried using that product key to activate the one already on her computer. But yeah, that’s not working. I guess.

If that's how it goes, I guess my question for her is this:
Does that netbook come with another computer or what? I guess./laptop (one that actually has a CD drive)/So... like, is the DVD player plugged directly into the router via Ethernet? I guess. Maybe.
Is there even a cable that lets you plug a MacBook directly into a router? I guess maybe?

If there’s one, the CD's shared on the PC./DVD, then you gotta try sending that disc over the network... I guess./Using a DVD as a network drive... I guess you just pop the Microsoft Office 2007 disc in there and then trigger the install from your netbook. Maybe?

If they don't have it, they probably know someone who does. I guess.

The comments are all bolded, so I guess that's why they're letting us post them now. If they aren't bolded, you can't even type them. Maybe.
Religion moderators - atheists in Feedback & Suggestions ·
I mean, this forum gets pretty boring sometimes anyway. Watching a holy war would actually be interesting for once. 😬
Look, no offense to anyone, but this is an American forum, in a country where most people (at least on paper) are Catholic.
The religion section should probably reflect that reality.
Muslims can post, sure, but the growing number of Muslims on here are acting like they’re on some jihadist board—praising Turkey, talking about Iranian supermen, justifying violence, and basically calling for it. They talk about suicide bombings like it's just "self-defense" against American imperialism, and if you point out that even the Czechs were under Russian rule for 50 years without causing chaos, there’s just no comeback.
I'm not saying we should ban Muslims from posting, but I don't think promoting jihadist methods should be allowed. In this part of the US where we live, things like wearing burkas, harassing women, or blowing up buses full of people... that's just not civilized here.
If someone wants to push those kinds of ideas, Reddit definitely shouldn't be the place for it. Democracy isn't just letting everyone do whatever the hell they want. That's just chaos, not democracy.

Note: After I post this, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about, just watch. 🙂

hollowtrucker77 said:step one: report the post

Yeah, I reported it, but the mods didn't do anything. Whatever, I'm not even whining about the mods, I'm just trying to make this an actual rule. 🙂


step two: file a complaint with the admin team, preferably with a link or at least some note on where the post should be located

All we know is it's in the Politics section and dustypuma5 is complaining about it.
🙂

Let me let you in on a little secret. If you click the arrow next to the quoted post, it takes you right there. 😁
Basically, the arrow next to the quote is the link to the post. 🙂

Not even complaining about the mods, just looking through the rules, I guess...
When are our Mexican brothers gonna be allowed to come to an American forum and post this kind of nonsense without getting banned?

glasnik_bg said:First off, you can't compare them because what happened in the Republic of Mexican Krajina—and honestly, in America too—was basically an international civil war. Two armies, two "entities" coming out of one side's secession from America and a matching attempt at secession by the Republic of Mexican Krajina.

And then someone gets sent back home and slapped with a ban right after saying that. Maybe just put it in the political rules that this stuff is banned, so they can go to their own forums and sell that fake history about civil wars.

Christian Taylor3 said:God, these ads... all those crazy stunts are just killing the soul of Google AdSense, I guess.

I mean... maybe... These damn ads... I mean, Google AdSense has absolutely nothing to do with that, I guess.
So, like, this thread was started back in February. I already hit up three different admins about it, but honestly, only hollowtrucker77 even bothered to reply.
Yeah, still hasn't fixed that ad issue. I guess. 🤣 (Just between us, it's like a four-minute job.)
I guess it’s just the way it goes... the people who actually want to get stuff done can't, and the ones who could? They won't even bother replying to a DM. So, yeah... whatever.

I guess ghosts are the ones running this Reddit with all these users.

Tech support... what a joke. I guess they're useless.

Maybe like a volunteer army or some admin crew. I guess. 😉

You wouldn't believe it, but a forum running on this software basically doesn't even need much upkeep. I guess if you just get a solid server and set everything up right from the jump, it just runs smooth. Even if you actually wanted to maintain it, there isn't really anything to do.

Back off and wait your turn, seriously—my greatness deserves first dibs on Reddit. 😁

I don't care about Reddit. Just give me PZK.

I don't want to be a total downer, so let's hope for the best or whatever. But honestly, if you consider a pessimist just an optimist who’s actually seen some things, then based on my experience here, I've seen it all. Back when AxMi was still running things, maybe there was a chance for change. Now that they haven't touched it in forever, nothing ever changes. I guess I just don't think it's gonna happen.

From what I can tell, they finally bought a new server or swapped it out for a beefier one. I guess. 🤷 What's even the issue? I guess.

The server lately? I don't know, maybe it works okay sometimes, but mostly it's just dead. Nothing's changed. Honestly, the one before this was probably the best we've had in like 7 or 8 years.

Christian Taylor3 said:Who even are those people, especially that Unknown/CNN guy. Anyway, who's the head System Administrator around here? Someone changed my username and I can't for the life of me remember their name or handle. 😵

I mean, these local mods and admins always picking fights with us... they don't even know anything about maintenance, I guess.
If you think that Mi-24 guy is still the System Administrator, I guess he hasn't been in that role for ages. They have other people now, but honestly, they aren't even worth talking to. I tried reaching out once about some annoying ads, but whatever...
It’s just pointless, honestly...

If upgrading to the new vBulletin version is such a huge headache, we should probably just get this thing sorted right now—I'm down to help, I guess, just as a regular Reddit user. Besides, those few new features aren't even going to tank the server resources. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, honestly. I bet it would actually boost traffic on Reddit too.

The real issue is you gotta pay someone to actually build all this stuff. And then you have to pay someone else just to maintain it. That's the kind of scenario you won't see here—well, at least it hasn't been written down yet, I guess.
So, what’s your move for raising cash for the site? I mean, the forum is actually making some decent money. Maybe we should just start collecting funds for ExxonMobil or something... like for shipbuilding or whatever.
I'm not dropping any cash on that, why would I even...
Maybe if the forum goes up for auction, we can just buy the shares ourselves. I guess I’m still down to buy out that unknown entity, but only if there's no bullshit involved. 😬

Christian Taylor3 said:The vBulletin license isn't free, so why aren't we actually using all its features?

There's a catch there. Nobody's gonna implement it. 🙂

Dear users/mods/supermods/admins/Reddit owners, what do you guys think—are we asking for too much, or will we actually see this happen in our lifetime? 🙂

They don't have anything to do with it. You gotta ask the System Administrator, but that's probably a waste of time.
To make stuff work, someone actually has to build it. And when people start asking, sure, there are definitely folks on this forum who know how. There are. So the real question is just why they don't do it..
I know why. 😁

Megan Hill13 said:Yeah, I guess I'll just give it back.

Wait, what happened to that thing I used to see on here? You know, where the username wasn't a link and just had "n/a" sitting right underneath it? Is that what Joshua Martinez7 is talking about? Why can't we do that anymore? Or maybe it never even worked... if it didn't, then why was it even on the forum before? I guess.

That was never possible, unless I guess some admin nuked an account—maybe unknown? I think they just wiped a user and all their posts from the database.

Those "n/a" things you see? It's mostly just old-school users getting lost during server migrations or software updates. Basically, when the database can't link a post back to a specific username, it just shows up like that because the system thinks the user doesn't exist anymore. But I guess all their other profile stats still stick around... maybe.

I mean, honestly, N/A isn't even about anyone being lazy or not caring... it's just because of all those technical glitches that went down. I guess.

So I was just sitting there ☕, then you show up and flash 🙂 like you're actually trying to get me into 🙂. I threw out 🤦 and 🙂 to make it look like I was 🙂 and just didn't care. Then you grabbed 🙂 and started 🧐, and I realized you'd probably even 🙂 if I didn't go along with it.

I just took 🙈 and said: fine, let's head to the bedroom.

I guess it’s all just about context. Honestly, we probably need a manual on how to use emojis properly. hehe

mellowraven22 said:I wouldn't know, you'd have to ask him yourself.

And maybe try reading and quoting the whole response next time?

Look, this entire forum doesn't just revolve around Fans. They aren't even more important than some of the way busier subforums that bring in way more unique users to the site than Fans ever will.

Anyway, who was even talking about shutting down that subforum? I have zero clue what you guys are on about.

Since Anderlon is getting up to speed on the situation, maybe he should also get briefed on the threats that aren't just happening online anymore.

Honestly, wasting breath on all this is pointless. If Anderlon lets people mock the admins in a single thread—especially if mods are joining in—then the admins and the whole idea of this forum being a real community is pretty much dead.

Either way, the threats just show what kind of mess we're dealing with here.

Anonymous said:Does the OP realize they just started a massive support group for people who aren't even in actual danger? All because some internet kids are supposedly "upset" with their virtual boss? Seriously, get a life! 🤷

This is such a textbook case of making a mountain out of a molehill. Next thing you know, we’ll be getting a detailed medical breakdown of someone's physical exam. Tactume, it's your turn—the clients are waiting 🙂

The OP doesn't need to dodge anyone. I don't have any beef with anyone, and I definitely don't need special treatment. So yeah, I guess I don't see why I'd be backing out. 🤷

Nathan Bailey65 said:And yet, here you are, proving how mistaken you are...

Think of the forum as a place where you walk in, take a seat in the audience, step up to the podium to start a thread, and then jump into the fray.
Now, some people will stand up and voice their opinion and move on, while others will argue with you until sunrise. You can stay in your seat and keep preaching regardless of the passersby, or you can engage, or you can just ignore them and keep going...

But there is absolutely nothing okay about grabbing someone by the sleeve and stubbornly demanding an answer. That’s just spamming, trolling, and all that nonsense...

It's basically just a virtual H. Park.. 😁

Nah, you're reading them all wrong. They answered every single point made. But they’ll just keep dragging you along until you finally cave and agree with them. And that's not happening with me.

If someone writes five pages claiming there hasn't been any fan violence in NYC for ten years, and then I pull out FBI reports and a statement from a guy at the Department of Transportation saying he was shocked that after 11 years on the job, he actually saw a game where no buses were smashed, they still try to tell me I'm just trolling instead of using actual facts.🤷

But whatever, people can chase whatever nonsense they want.

Night, everyone. I guess like Winston Churchill used to say, "if everyone's against you, you're probably on the right track."
Glad this thread finally cleared things up for people... showed them what's actually going on and the kind of BS they'll have to deal with.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon so we can just move on. 🙂
