And is it good or bad?

I'm sure that 98% of Earth population including my family and my "friends" doesn't know about it either.


bad because I pretend to know less than what I really do, but good because I'm content with being the only guy in town, feeling all hipster and shit.

Why has Jeff binned Benja's thread? He could just move it in Introductions.

If you wanted to ask why I binned it, why not just PM me? Why do people seem to gravitate towards posting these questions publicly like they're scrutinizing and raising awareness of my actions? Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

I binned it because it was violating 2 rules. 1) Wrong section, and 2) No linking for self gain. If he wants to reintroduce himself he is welcome to do so, but his thread seemed like a thinly veiled excuse to get people to click his link.

Hi sss, how are you now, are you still happy that you are 18?

Yup,finally got my drivers' license and managed to buy Hyundai getz from my savings so now I can show that I also have a feminine side by driving it. Also, currently saving money for a tattoo. Anyways, anything major happened here?

Probably because moderation has been a lot stricter lately. The fact that benja used to be a mod but didn't think twice about making that thread hints towards how much standard procedure has changed around here.

Not to imply that's necessarily bad (I agree that he only came back to promote his contest), but it's never been like this as long as I've been here and SP natives are going to notice it when it happens. As far as posting about it here instead of PMing you, I would have done the same thing, just in case it's a simple answer that someone else could explain, or in case you've answered it publicly somewhere else and I missed it. Don't take it personally.

Since I've randomly turned up after a few years; wasn't advertising something that was always a top priority for mods to clean up? May be way off or thinking of somewhere else.

Well yeah, advertising has always been against the rules, but members close to the community would get a fair amount of leeway as long as they're not harming anyone. It'd take as much effort to trash the thread as it would to vote for his contest.

At least that's how I remember it.

Isn't that how it was for pretty much every rule?

It's how I remember it as a mod. I mean the NTF was made specifically to weigh how much the person contributes to the community before deciding to do anything.

Again, not that I think that's how it should be, it's simply how things were. Just trying to explain why Jeff thinks we're overreactive. It's not that he's acting out of line, it's just different from what a lot of us are used to.

lol, the problem here is that nobody knows anybody anymore. back in the days it was like, chat thread would be posted in pretty damn frequently, everyone was like, just comfortable, chillin, ya know

now its like, none of you fuckers really relate to each other

funny conversations dont happen anymore

general discussion is full of animation threads (when there is a huge animating section on this community board)

this place has just been living off of forced internet chatting and 10 year olds

im sorry
but its true

Kveyo you're pretty tardy to the party. It basically died right before the Merge. I guess you could say the Merge was just some sort of attempt to get this place active again. But the sad truth is it really isn't the same.
