A question to everyone

[Randell]

No! it cant be. what the hell is going on. all these moved threads! seems like someone is going outa the way to mess it all up. this cant be right. who moved all the threads?

yes quite a pain in the arse... i haven't really followed all this silly moderation talk since it started... the mods are going very OTT about OT ! it's ridiculous, who is it helping? new visitors feel alienated and are afraid to post, old posters are confused and annoyed, i don't know if anyone actually benefits from all this

i know which posts i wanna click, i am capable of clicking through page 2 and 3 and onwards for as long as i like until i have had enough... i know when to stop reading a thread if it's not interesting... why not leave it up to the reader to navigate?

I am a librarian, but I am rescinding that duty. The board is gone as we knew it.

You guys in the other time zone missed the anarchy here last night.

A new policy of OT topic on the main board was instituted without notice.

I was PM Ed about it and it is not clear to me whether this Ed's new policy or this was d00d's interpretation of Ed's policy. There was a general uproar. d00d resigned.

I don't think we really know what is going on until Ed speaks to us.

Let's not predict the end of our board as we know it until Ed speaks to us.

My poll been blamed for this bizarre turn of events, and I want to go on record as saying this is not what I was advocating. I am really sorry that this happened.

I will do anything I can to try to get things back to normal. I hope others will join me in trying to be constructive about this and taking steps to settle things down rather than inflame.

I wouldn't expect him to get around to things too quickly anymore.
