FC Forums

The flan's pack doesn't really have much to do with RP.

And I do feel we've missed our window. But in all honesty, I doubt many of us are here for the community (personally, having people to argue with keeps me sane), so I'm not sure what's tying us together. A hope for the mod? Flan's pack? The RPs?

I just come here because it reminds me of when I was a kid, and I have an odd affection for all of you.

Except Vinyl, never Vinyl.

It seems no one is too fond of Vinyl.

Okay, that was obvious.

I was mostly joking.

You two are cut from the same cloth, after all.

Thank you, oh-so-benevolent moderator.

Oh, wait.

We tried that before, all we wound up with was stuff happening very quickly for a few days and then promptly ceasing to happen. In other words, nope, not happening, nuh-uh.

I don't understand. As the original posted it is my right under the current rules to request that my thread either return to topic or be locked. What problem do you have with that? You wrote them, after all, oh-so-benevolent self-elected administrator. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You guys took away my powers without warning or reason. Fine, so be it. But if you think that's going to make me stop trying to see that the rules are enforced, you've got another think coming.

NO ONE GIVES TWO SHITS ABOUT THE RULES. THEY HAVE NO PURPOSE, THEY DON'T MATTER. STOP TRYING TO BE A FUCKING WHITE KNIGHT. JESUS. THEY TOOK YOUR POWERS AWAY BECAUSE YOU'RE ANNOYING, THAT'S THE ONLY POWER OF PERSUASION YOU HAVE. HELL, THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY POWER ANYONE HAS, EVEN ERROR, BECAUSE OUR MEMBERLIST HAS DWINDLED TO A FUCKING MINISCULE FRACTION OF WHAT IT WAS AND IF SOMEONE STARTS BANNING PEOPLE, THAT MIGHT JUST PUSH IT OVER THE EDGE. THE ONLY UNIFYING FORCE OF FC IS THE COMMUNITY, AND THAT PRETTY MUCH GOVERNS ITSELF. SO EITHER STOP TRYING TO DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO DO OR TAKE THE FORUM DOWN WITH YOU.

AND WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO LOCK THIS THREAD? WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO LOCK THIS TOPIC, WHICH WAS POSTED ON A FUTILE IDEA AND THE DEAD HOPE OF FUTURECREAFT? IT HAS NO PURPOSE, IF YOU WANTED IT TO STAY ON TOPIC YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE REQUESTED A LOCK IN THE OP. OFFTOPIC DISCUSSION AND CONVERSATION ARE THE MOST THESE KINDS OF THREADS ARE EVER GOING TO GET. [/rant]

I entirely forgot that you were the OP, LJS. I can understand why you would want your own topic to stay on the rails, but I didn't quite realize that it was your topic.

I apologize.

As for the 'self-elected admin' part, what am I supposed to do? I don't exercise any sort of remotely moderator-like power, and the fact that I'm the one who owns and runs the server necessitates that I maintain the ability to actually maintain it, so I really can't see why you might be particularly upset, nor do I see how I could reasonably alleviate it.

Locked at OP's request.
