That's really horrible!! I'm reluctant myself to join new places because I'm so used to the way things are here, I probably couldn't cope with getting that kind of abuse. I once got called an idiot just for replying in a thread about favourite songs by Muse, just because my answer didn't match everyone else's.

I really hope this place never gets like that, there's always that possibility, since the internet world is always in a state of change. It's easy to take this place for granted, but the older members will know very well how easy things can just alter (I mean, wasn't there a time when there was more than (roughly) 12 of us? *_*)

But sadly that's the nature of the internet. It's never gonna be a safe haven, even with this nice little family we have here, there's always someone out there who gets a kick out of upsetting others. Because there's the anonymity you get with the net, they think it gives them the right to act as they please and forget that other people actually just want to get along and have a good time. Pointless bastards.

But it's great that we can appreciate how well we get along here in this way, it's good that there's a place to come back to when things like this happen, and we can find a certain amount of peace. Even if it doesn't last, it's something to always be grateful for, thanks guys

And now I should probably stop ranting, seeing as this rant is fuelled by alcohol anyway XD

Yah well, such members get a bad rep and are Banned justly, Such members would have a difficult time here seeing as we have a high ratio of Mods-to-members. We'd all just open a can of WHOOP-HIDE! YEEEEEEHAW!!!

I am happy to say that the aforementioned thread was re-opened for just long enough to enable another authority figure of the other website to make a follow-up statement, obviously as a response to this thread. It reads:

Kitmitsu (Administrator), May 3, 2008 at 03:09 PM:
"Hi FF Net!
You may like to know that we've had at least 10 of these threads over the past couple of months. You can understand our frustration that people don't search the forums. Thanks for the link Midgar Fanatic! Buh Bye!"

Thank you for your reply Kitmitsu. I am sorry if my post annoyed you or any of the other moderators and administrators on your site. But, as I had mentioned in this thread, my intent was nothing more than a genuine and friendly hand-out to start a conversation amongst the forum members on the topic of the recent unavailability of FF news. Unfortunately, it would seem I was unsuccessful at this. Nonetheless, I thank you for your freindly follow-up, it is much obliged. Cheers.

Well jeez, ha ha. XD Seems pretty boring of a forum to be in.

SQUEE!!!! Add Time Is Running Out, Unintended and New Born and you have an epic Muse-fest

It was Plug In Baby that was the "expected answer". I love it, but not as much as some of the other stuff, t'is my opinion. Does not make me an idiot, does it? (Knights > Plug In Baby IMO srsly kthanxbai whatever stupid internet speaks I can use :P)

Hehehehe back on topic ^^ it's nice that someone attempted to be pleasant after all that. But there are solutions that site could take in order to stop the duplicate threads (sticky thread anyone?), it's just laziness really. Similar things happen here, but nobody gets pissed over it, because it's not that big a deal. Better to make a new thread than to necro-post anyway

How is that "pleasant"? They banned himn with sarcasm!

[Miss Lockheart]

*sigh* didn't read it that way ¬_¬
