I never deleted that thread, nor was I against the idea behind the thread. If OB1 and GR want a home for all their crazy images, that's fine by me. Sure, they're annoying, but what are you going to do about them, really?
My problem with the whole thing was the fact that it was stickied. As far as I'm concerned, a thread should be stickied so that everyone in the forums can see it, thusly containing something that the whole forum could benefit from, such as an important announcement. OB1 and GR having a thread taking up space on top of the page struck me as unnecessary and I posted with something to the effect of:
"Should this thread really be stickied?"
Perhaps not verbatim my words, but it was something of that nature. OB1's response to me was to delete my post and accuse me of being a baby and everything else. Yeah, this made me mad.
I left it alone. I came back another day to see more complaints. Other members complained of the threads existence, and it was causing commotion. So I used my administrator priviledges to move it to the Bo forum. For the record, <u>I did not delete GR's pictures</u>. I swear it.
So I moved it. In hidsight, perhaps a bad idea, but I will not apologize. I see no reason why the post should be stickied, nor why it serves less of it's intended purpose in the Bo forum, without cluttering the forum list for those who don't need it.
That was my stance, and that is what I attempted to explain to OB1. I think one or two words got through to him in the hour we spoke before I gave up on him. You can't talk to him when he's mad. I'll give him some time and perhaps we'll reach some sort of happy medium for the whole forum.
So there, I've said my piece.
