This thread was closed for a good reason, and I stand by it. I already laid out exactly what the issue was. Just so we’re all on the same page moving forward: if a topic has absolutely nothing to do with Natural Science and starts turning into a pointless circular argument—much like those rambling threads on the NASA forums I used to let slide while putting up with nonsense from people without any formal training—I’m going to shut them down immediately, no questions asked. It seems some people are still struggling to grasp the current rules, so don't come complaining to the Board of Directors about my moderation style. If you had just been decent and sent me a private message, I would have been happy to walk you through it. But since you seem to enjoy publicly questioning my calls and trashing them right here, you've earned exactly zero credit with me. So, that’s my final word on the matter, and I don't plan on revisiting this or any similar topics again. Best regards.
This thread is staying closed. Look, my patience isn't infinite. This whole section has turned into nothing more than a shouting match for self-proclaimed "philosophers," and this particular discussion was heading straight down that rabbit hole—just a playground for wannabe intellectuals to tear each other apart. Oh, did the term "mental tug-of-war" offend someone? Well, honestly, it’s the most accurate way to describe what's been going on here for over a year now. Even though I really feel like all these threads should be locked away, I’m letting you guys off the hook without any formal penalties this time. It seems like if I close just one topic, there's an immediate revolution... Okay, clearly this is a sign that I need to be a bit firmer and less lenient, because when you let everything slide, people start filing appeals just because a single thread gets shut down.
Best regards.
p.s. hollowtrucker77, I hope that clears things up, so please go ahead and lock the thread.
Look, if you want to pay for ads and spam everyone, go right ahead. But you've only got 12 posts under your belt, so if this isn't the right vibe for you, maybe find another corner of the internet to hang out in... 👋
Look at this little drama queen. 🤣 Honestly, Ronald Morales51, you always have to make things so complicated. I swear, you’re the only one who can turn a simple thing into a whole ordeal... 🤣
Every once in a while, I’ll be browsing on Opera and run right into one of those ads that just completely messes everything up... but honestly, it isn't even an issue with my browser, it's just the ad itself. 😉
From here on out, I’m going to start flagging posts that open duplicate threads. I really appreciate everyone being understanding about this, and let's all try to keep an eye on what's already been posted so we can keep things organized...
Jerry Sanders3 said:If one of the moderators could please change the thread title from "Indianapolis: rain" to just "Fort Bragg" or maybe "The Battle of Fort Bragg"... or something along those lines... I think we're already veering pretty far off-topic here. It wouldn't make sense to keep opening new threads for every single action or subject when we could just discuss everything regarding Fort Bragg in one place. Thanks in advance...
You should probably just send a private message to one of the mods over there. 😉
mistytiger38 said:So, I was wondering... what exactly do I have to do to get the admins to lose their cool and just delete my account entirely? Thanks!
I wouldn't go quite that far, honestly. No matter what you try, your profile is going to stick around. The only thing you can actually land yourself is a permanent ban...😉
Here are some of the most popular topics on this subforum, so feel free to dive in and have a read. In the future, maybe just take a quick peek to see if there's already an active thread on your topic before starting a new one... click
If you’re looking to pull just a single sentence out of someone else's message, just highlight it and wrap it with these tags: [ QUOTE] [ /QUOTE] (Just a heads up, don't leave any extra spaces between the [ and the Q, otherwise things might get a little messy)
So, it looks like this:
Don't be shy! Just try quoting one of the posts on the board and you'll see those quote brackets pop right up for you...

Alright, let's try to keep the chatter to a minimum on this subforum. It’s easy for things to get a bit messy when we start drifting off-topic, and I'd hate to see the blue tones shift into a dull grey... 😉
Well, you’ve officially got your answer. If you're looking to dig through everything, go right ahead—it's all there for the taking. Honestly, the Admins can see even more than I can... I think we can probably wrap this thread up now. And just a friendly heads-up: please don't push my buttons, or I might just start handing out warnings for every single off-topic comment and spam post I see...
This PDF actually has an active mode now. If you were hoping to start a chat session right here, I hate to break it to you, but you’ve definitely knocked on the wrong door... For the next off-topic post, there might just be a little reward waiting for you.
Look, there aren't any actual perks tied to your post count here. And honestly, what does that -10 penalty even have to do with anything right now? Either start sharing some meaningful thoughts about what's actually bothering you, or don't expect anyone to go through the trouble of trying to decode what you're getting at...
So, here’s how you do it: just click on the name of the person you want to reach out to. Once their profile pops up, you'll see a few different tabs at the top, and one of them should be labeled "contact info." Go ahead and click that, and then you'll see an option that says "send a private message to [insert username here]." And that’s really all there is to it...
