Lets Count to a Million thread Locked for Fun???

kerash · 2009-11-07 11:46:08

I've just logged in to find the lets count to a million thread in tCN locked. Sarky seems to think it's his right to lock a thread for his own amusement without any consideration for the posters that use the thread every single day. I am furious that a thread that has been going for over a year with a constant flow of…

Eh, lads? Calm down maybe? It's a thread, about counting. Get over it. I just start a new count, so it's just like old times!

/thread

That's the sort of can-do attitude I like to see. I'm giving you a week's immunity to posting in the "post here to get banned" thread. Because I can.

I'm glad it had a happy ending after all. It's like in Pireates of the Carribbean, when you see the undead monkey you fell in love with again after the credits. I was so worried about that little guy!

Surely you mean 'How many FeedBack threads it takes to make mountains out of molehills...'

Close the thread to save tech trouble for the whole site or leave it open because "People aren't happy with the number..." - Well HOT DANG, kids, thats a tough one right there :rolleyes:

I'm waiting for the day that someone posts in the "Post Here To Get Banned" thread then creates a thread in FeedBack demanding an unban.

I think that someone didn't get laid last night!

My money's on everyone who was busy adding to the "Let's Count To A Million" thread instead of meeting girls and stuff.

I know you all think we are silly, and post in a thread thats a total waste of time!!!
But it's our thread it's to me the biggest part of the nest, and we that count in it all the time, always have a laugh and joke in it, and its always good to be put in good mood!
This whole thing around the number it ended on, yes it would have been better to have just let it run to 100k, as it was only a matter of days!
But this is not what caused the upset, it was the fact that Sarky just locked it down with no warning or anything, and anyone that posts in a thread as much as some of us in the count, would be upset to just find it locked, and you can't say any different!
I have posted in the count from my first day in the nest, and because of the way i was made to feel so welcome by the posters in the nest, i always now call it my boards home, its were 90% of my post are. So please forgive me for taken it a bit to heart that the count was locked, yes we will all get over it and post on in a new thread, and make it the same for us!

Not to me Maybe if we were to start permabanning like in the good ol' days...

If nothing else, I'm glad this thread got you out and about and meeting a couple of people outside TCN. That's Buffybot over there, he's a dear. And so is Ropedrink, he even photoshopped me to look like a zombie one time! You should all know Thaed, of course. She's a crazy old woman that lives in my attic. Say hi!

If it makes you feel any better the back of my swivel chair gave way at just about the time before you posted that. Your offence actually nearly made me fall out of my chair without you even looking in my direction. OMG WALLHEX!

We think we have a working solution to the "big thread kill servers" issue but dont quote me on it.

Not sure what if any reasoning was behind this but then tCN is like Boards' very own Outer Limits so I'm not sure I want to start messing with its moderation...
