DJ: Read the last paragraph of my response for why I was so annoyed by that thread. That same issue -- GR and OB1's constant flood of stupid, worthless threads that only contain an annoying large image, a smilie, or "...", are so annoying... and obviously a lot of people agree so because a lot of people complained when a thread just for them appeared. If the image thread had come out of nowhere, you'd be right that it'd be silly and harmless. But on top of so much of their filling thread after thread with waste... it was just too much, and I reacted, and then (presumably with similar concerns) so did others...
Oh, as said before, the thread was never deleted. It was moved to the Bo Jackson forum, by EM. ... you know, the forum with the Attach Images thread? Accessible through the 'Forum Leaders' section or your admin panel? There were posts deleted in that thread, though, and by OB1. He did say he would first, but does that excuse it at all? I'd say not.
After all, he warned us that he'd start deleting accounts if anyone moved the thread again, so if someone does and then he deletes an account or two would that be justified? Of course not!
What we really need, and this is repeating what has been said a lot, is some regular source of new members... without them we just stew here, and some people start posting less, and fewer people post, and it gets to this state... we really need some way of getting new people to come. Some of which, preferably, like to actually discuss GAMES... because that's one of the things I like most about OB1 (DJ does it some too) -- he's willing to write replies to long posts and continue the discussion and isn't intimidated by the long posts. Most people here can't say that of themselves and I wish that they could, because nice, decently long discussions of games is the main reason I'm here. Why people are so unwilling to participate once one starts -- quickly leaving it to just me and OB1 and perhaps someone else -- I simply do not understand.
(Of course, what happens next with OB1 is predictable and almost always to the destruction of decent arguement, but that's not the main point here and it doesn't have to be that way with everyone...)
