Off-topic thread closed

Don't start a new thread. That’s the key here.

Well, you've got looks, at least. 🤷
But seriously, let's not drag Microsoft drama into what we're actually trying to achieve here.😉

coastalwolf87 said:look, if you want to see my goods, just ask. don't turn a serious discussion into some private DM session. 🙂

I asked, alright? but honestly, I'm done with this nonsense for today.

clearly I'm doing something wrong here, whatever.

let's try this instead.

hey coastalwolf87, I'm terminally ill. got maybe fifteen minutes left on the clock. my final wish is to see those boobs.

the rest of you bottom-feeders are welcome to join in too.

briskbison55 said:I feel like they aren't taking me seriously. Apparently, driftingcanyon18's nonsense isn't enough to cut it.

But look, this is serious stuff. On Microsoft, we aren't just joking around anymore.

And honestly? I could try showing the mods, but I highly doubt that’s going to get them out of the mess they're in.

wait, can't I just start a new thread over there?

I have been reviewing the last ten pages over on Google cache—it was quite a heated exchange 🍿
I believe I have finally deduced why the thread was shut down... it follows the exact same pattern we see over at Microsoft, except here, someone who clearly knows how to navigate the discourse at Microsoft lost their cool 😉... regardless,
let’s just move this discussion to a different PDF where we aren't already known by reputation; let me know once that happens 👋

Glad to see I'm not the only one on this. Now if we could just actually get a decent moderator in here, we might have a chance.

I was just thinking about how this thread features THREE (3) legendary American authors, which alone makes it worth its weight in gold. I won't even get started on azru and makitu...

Who’s the third one?🤔
Ah, Red Judo.
:blond:

I mean, the fact that people are calling those special Olympics types celebrities—and even writers, for goodness sake—just proves how much we really needed this discussion in the first place. It’s just not right to shut down an entire conversation because of one single person. I guess... if it helps, I can speak for everyone here and promise that nobody will even acknowledge her if she shows up in a new thread. We'll just let it be.

To help the moderators better grasp how our niche community regulars behave, take a look at this:



🥳

It’s frankly bordering on senility, though I won't go so far as to question their professional competence.

Shout out to the mods for jumping on my question so fast. You guys always come through when it counts.👍

I wonder if they’ll ever bother to let us know how much the bail is, or how much cash we need to drop just to get his sentence shaved down since they aren't planning on letting him walk anyway.

I knew I shouldn't have stepped away from my desk, because the second I did, everything just went completely sideways 😢
I’m definitely throwing my hat in the ring to support the request to open this thread
Does anyone know if Quark happens to have a seat at the table regarding that DiK PDF? If so, maybe we could ask the phantom Mistery if there's any room for us to hang out with their crew

I’m not bringing Temu back because the last few pages were just a complete mess of rule-breaking posts. I get that off-topic stuff is its own specific thing and the moderation tends to be a bit more laid back there, but I am absolutely not going to let you guys hijack a thread like that again. It's just not happening.
Look, I guess I'll let you guys start a similar thread again—even though I specifically said you couldn't earlier—so you can keep hanging out and chatting, but if this new one starts heading down that same path where everyone is just hurling insults at each other and filling up dozens of pages with stuff that breaks the forum rules, I’m shutting it down immediately. And once I close it, you won't be getting another chance to open a new one.

This one’s going under lock and key.

thanks 😘
As for what went down in that old thread, we probably would've jumped in ourselves if that one user hadn't mentioned having people on ignore. Personally, I know I would've spoken up, and I'm pretty sure a few others would have too—it wouldn't be the first time. Especially given some of the things that were actually said there.
And just to be clear, this isn't about taking sides in their little feud.

The formal request was overkill; just reporting the posts would have done the trick.

Well, looks like you all finally reached an agreement. 👋
