Necro Mania

[Ayrolen]

ok. I'll be at work for the next nine hours. Can someone please post an image so I can get a good laugh? Thanks!

This was too good not to share, while browsing google images.

It is a little disturbing.

Oh my, and even a Perfectly Pruned Lotto to go with it!

[Nymphonic]

Unless it's from 2008, has 2 replies, and one of those replies is the OP bumping it today.

You cannot possibly be serious. I'm starting to feel that posts should be pruned without warning.

Once upon a time I used to get upset knowing that those thousands patented Walls 'O Text that I would painstakingly write on the Forums in my boredom would be lost to posterity. Seriously, I could have written 8 or 10 novels instead of posting on the Forums! And novels don't get purged outside of every thousand years or so.

Alas, now that we have My.LOTRO.com, I can just CTRL+C them to ensure that at least the noteworthy ones will remain for my own amusement.

At this point, I don't see why Turbine doesn't prune on a more frequent basis and without warning. Granted, it's quite nice and polite of them to give advance warning, but it really shouldn't be necessary.

Valid reasons are fine but censorship and its ilk make me pull out my Don't Tread on Me flag and eye suspiciously.

Hey, I've some some tinfoil for sale, cheap. PST.

Doesn't that add imply that he normally twists himself into that position, just not normally while wearing a suit?

[Xramlrak]

Can you get infracted for something you were previously infracted for?

Would that be an...infractal?



(Seriously though, I feel confident that the reasoning for my necro is sound)

Ahhhh. The Colors of Infinity.
Arthur C. Clarke backed by David Gilmour's guitar. Stunning.

I wonder if this thread will get necroed in a year after they doing another pruning.

It's going to be part of the pruning.

Hmm,

I haven't necro'd any threads today but this sounds a lot like censorship based on personal or company line opinion. Not acceptable to silence someone because you don't agree with them. House keeping for a visit from the WB inlaws?

However, if you were to say we are going to delete EVERYTHING on these forums as of 0200 Zulu except for the hall of fames and guides, that would be a whole other thing, which I would cheer on. Also if you were to say, this particular thread is using excess bandwith, which is costing us money, which is going to cause us to raise the price of the next expansion by .07 Cents... that would be acceptable also. (all those pictures of baacon and Lolcatz eat up a lot of bandwidth)

Valid reasons are fine but censorship and its ilk make me pull out my Don't Tread on Me flag and eye suspiciously. /Rabble, /RabbleRabble. But then again, I think I may be a conservative nutjob. I've come to terms with that.

It's only censorship if someone cannot post more. Deleting past complaints has absolutely zero impact on current or future complaints. I've said it before - if any company wanted to silence dissent, the worst thing they could do is not only provide a discussion board, but also personal blogs.

[Rippentuck]

Still can't deal with the fact that the U.S. Consitution doesn't apply here, can you?

Good answer. Now if we could just educate the rest of the country about what the Constitution is...

Wait, what? What about Gilmour?

Bumping this thread for Left4Dead3

[Zarador]

Funny thing is, I think if some of the people (not all) that are complaining that their thread may be deleted took the time to read their own words, they might be thankful for the impunity.

Now, if they really want to do a service to those of us happy with the game, perhaps they could bring back some of the posts from each expansion and update that declares the game is doomed. Maybe point to the threads that declared several of the games that were to eclipse LoTR and even WoW that have come and gone.

Oh, and we could have a hall of fame of players that declared the LT sub to be not worth it and too risky in 2007 that are still playing now.

Wouldn't work. They would claim that a forum mod "modified" their posts and that they never said that!

The funniest one I saw was someone bump their own thread they made a long time ago about why they're not going to be playing anymore. lol
