Broncoholics Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Well, I tried to make simple conversation and was yet again, shut down. I was simply doing a post about internet connection and my topic was closed. There was a cache event scheduled for this weekend in Denver that my son and I were going to, but we choose not to. I feel I have been disrespected and don't have to look for caches on this site anymore. I remember when I placed a silly joke on this site everday for over a year and now I can't even talk about a measly ol' internet connection. I am sure my huge family will manage without these stupid a** forums. Thanks Co Admin, for all the good times, it's been a pleasure and keep up the good work. I will now list my caches elsewhere, a place where we have never been disrespected and we are always welcome. Cya Duane Upinyachit Quote

+Harrald Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I've lost count...... Is this the third or fourth time you've quit the site over somthing silly? Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Buh-bye, Duane! Gonna miss ya! Are ya still coming to the class clown bash in June? BTW, I pay $19.95 for my internet connection.....slow ol' tin can and string dial-up. Quote
mortonfox Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 The forums are not the whole of geocaching. You can play the game without reading and posting to the forums. And indeed many do. Quote
+Snoogans Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 (edited) Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. Well, that's not my sentiment and I wouldn't write it if it was. I was surprised to see that thread shut down so quickly. However, I wouldn't quit over it ,nor would I post an attention getting thread if I did quit for any reason other than lack of interest.

+Sparky-Watts Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Man.....I just never know when to take a clown seriously....... Quote
+Alan2 Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 I don't think that topic should have been shut down. Discussing the cost of internet service when you're on it for loads of time with these forums has as much or more relationship to geocaching than talking about carrying guns while caching which doesn't get shut down. As usual, the moderators are too quick to pull the plug. I don't know why they don;'t just relax a little and stop taking this stuff so seriously. You too upinyachit. Lighten up and hang around Alan Quote
+sbell111 Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 It took me a few minutes to get a handle on what this thread was about. I finally found the other thread. It wasn't related to the game so it was closed. Kind of a bummer, but not a huge deal. My feeling is the conversation could continue in the other referenced thread. As for quiting, Why? Everyone who has communicated with you in the forums knows that you love this hobby. The forums, on the other hand, are peaving you. Why don't you just step away from the forums for a while? I didn't participate at all for most of the summer and fall. I returned with the realization that the forums are not real life. There is nothing here worth getting upset over. I hope you choose not to quit. You have been as asset to the game. Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Off topic posts rule #3 seems to apply here. Of course I could be wrong. See you on the dark side. Quote

+Johnnie Stalkers Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 On a positive note: Duane commiting geocide will take some of the attention of sub-ego. Quote
+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 (edited) Off topic posts rule #3 seems to apply here. 3) Any topic by one of The Usual Suspects is usually closed (good or bad). All this time I thought I was one of the Usual Suspects... Edited January 13, 2004 by Team GPSaxophone Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Off topic posts rule #3 seems to apply here. Of course I could be wrong. See you on the dark side. I tend to agree. I also agree with something another cacher said.....if it weren't for the geocaching forums, I wouldn't spend much time at all on the internet, so therefore, a discussion of internet charges is more on topic than a discussion of vehicles getting stuck.

Which reminds me, if we go off-topic, will this thread be closed? Dang...he snuck that one in whilst I was posting something else! Oh well.........I got my truck stuck trying to fake a log on a locationless that I didn't get approved because it had a leatherman tool in it that made my caching gun go off and accidently kill a hunter that wasn't wearing blaze orange while eating an apple........ EDIT: There are a lot of posts in there that weren't when I first posted my double post....how many people here are being modded, anyway? Edited January 13, 2004 by Sparky-Watts Quote

Vacman Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Well, at least it will help the rest of us move up the find-count rankings... Quote
