Synopsis:

[+Renegade Knight]

OMG A social trail! What do you guys do to prevent them? Who cares? My virtial wasn’t approved and so you won’t be making a trail to that, now will you? Maybe they would approve it if you had to be naked, oh nevermind not enough WOW. Hey can someone tell me if this is a cache. Yes it’s a micro because it won’t take much of a cache to hide your strategic bits in the photo. Funny coming from someone who is neither armed nor dangerous, but hey thanks for getting the thread locked. Whoah there chief you are being anything but impartial in blaming me for that thread. We need someone who isn’t so dadgum subjective. Yeah but she’s getting married this weekend. Why wasn’t it announced in the forums? Because it’s none of your business so stick to tweaking your avatar every week for the theme of the moment. That reminds me next weeks theme is ducks so help me name a couple of mine. What’s that got to do with caching? Nothing but neither does that troll. Hey that was a nice troll, haven’t seen one of them for ages. Yeah that Mopar’s got yard privileges and maybe even dinner privileges if he’s nice. What’s it take to be nice? I think you don’t put a tag on TB’s is what it takes. True while others are damned if they do and damned if they don’t, but either way they don’t look at Navicache. Ha! For all 8 caches listed there? Why bother? Why? Why does criminal like girls, why does Snoogans like Mystery Woman? Why do I even know this stuff? It’s only a game after all! Yeah but it’s one played by a bunch of guys who are all lesbians trapped in a man body. Does that matter? Now that you mention it no, the obsession is the same. What’s the difference between a lesbian and a loser? 90 degrees. What’s that supposed to mean? I don’t know but I’ll bet it could be made into a commercial cache in Nevada. Which reminds me, Freud was right. It’s all about sex and the media will expose that angle every time.

Wow, did you forget your meds this AM?

[+carleenp]

Did you drink some extra coffee this morning RK?

[+Renegade Knight]

That's what happens when I've got no hot and controversial topic to post or comment on. It can be ugly.

[+Stunod]

I tried to read that outloud without stopping to take a breath. I almost made it.

[+The Leprechauns]

I didn't breathe either, but it was because I was laughing too hard.

[+CompuCash]

shouldn't this be in 'ABJECT SILLINESS'?

 

Nice work tho dood - you be tweeking!

ROFLMAO-what made it even funnier was that I read:

OMG a social trial!

That made the Freudian reference even better.

I always thought that Seattle was the triple espresso capital of the US. Now it looks like a small town somewhere in Idaho with bored troublemaking teens is instead.

[+woof n lulu]

You forgot about ticks being everywhere......

[+Snoogans]

OMG! I just shot pink lemonade out my nose!

 

[+flask]

ude! it's time for you to take a break. but thanks for noticing.

[+Mopar]

I'm confused (like THAT'S something new).

I don't know if I should laugh because RK's post is so dadgum funny...

or cry because until he posted this I hadn't noticed that one person who had nothing to add to a topic that had been running continually for 2yrs without a problem could get it locked. :blink:

Sure hope she doesn't take a disliking to AS.

 

RK, scramble the sentence up a bit and you could probably post this every Friday.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? That really ticked me off. That was one of the better threads around.

[+southdeltan]

Wow - I hadn't realized that thread had been closed. I'm lost on why it was closed. I wonder if a thread asking why it was closed would get locked too?

WHAT TOPIC WAS IT?

[+Renegade Knight]

Armed and Dangerouse

[+greende]

The thing that gets me about RK's post is that I understood most of it!

[thorin]

I read it, now my head hurts.

 

dadgum U!

That's because you spent a lot of time in the forums I suppose

 

One of these every friday R K, and some of us can turn forum time into caching time

[+briansnat]

Armed and Dangerouse

Actually, I was talking about More About Groundspeak.

Actually, I was talking about More About Groundspeak.

That one was only about a year old though...Mopar mentioned the "2-year" thread.

My apologies for getting armed and dangerous locked, I thought that at the end of it i contributed to the thread topic and i said what weapons i carry to the field.

I just assumed it was MAG. Didn't realize he was referring to AAD. Actually, I'm surprised AAD made it this long.

If you are referring to this:

 

After consultation with a number of other Groundspeak volunteers and forum moderators, I am closing this topic.

 

That does NOT explain WHY he closed. All it tells me is that the moderator discussed it with some people - not what they decided was the problem.

There was a link to an outside site that was removed from the last post. I'd repost it, but I'm sure I'd get in trouble.

[+flask]

hey, i want to know ALLLL the dirt about Groundspeak. i'm assuming that since it's run by people who are fallible individuals, it ain't perfect.

 

i'd just as well know what's not fabulous about it so i can get on with the business of playing.

 

there's something attractive about being fully informed though, so i'm never in the position of having to say "uh,,, no i didn't know that..."

 

i am also not allowed to have firearms, so the AAD thread just wasn't my cup of tea. i carry pepper spray, a cell phone and a leatherman tool.

 

here's an interesting experiment: i wonder how many topics you can get closed before they ban you. who wants to begin testing? come on now, don't be shy...

I'm pretty sure Duane owns the current record.

yes, but to we have a quatitative analysis? a control group? a concerted effort? getting the topics locked has to be your GOAL in order to get good measurements...

[+briansnat]

I read that link and there was nothing wrong with it. If anything, it reinforced why a certain person is banned from here.

[Mystery Woman]

...why does Snoogans like Mystery Woman?...

What's not to like?

Then YOU can post the link to it

Just read that. OMG, that was funny. And pretty creative too. But I am curious as to what kind of personality it takes to think of that many things at once. I'd have to have a notepad and pen with me 24/7.

 

Good job. Thanks for the laugh.

8,000+ posts! Looks like you need a break.

I'm slowing down a tad.

[+CO Admin]

I see a monthly column in the works for Today's Geocacher.

 

Very Nice Job RK.

[+Team FUBAR]

Hey RK you forgot to mention that everything is FUBAR.

[+Confucius' Cat]

I assumed I caused the lockdown.

 

I find it interesting that it went on for so long in a "back page" forum when so many like it have been closed down almost immediately in the general forum.

 

Was it because it was not on the "front page" that it was allowed to run so long?

 

That we can't go off on sub-topics and stay with them until they naturally end is a serious shortcoming of the forums IMO.

 

Sub-topics are a natural part of human conversation. To stick solidly to a single topic is very difficult and unnatural. It is especially difficult on a topic that has been discussed to death, as almost all on GC forums have been.

 

So what is the limit of posts to a sub-topic anyway? 1? 2? 3?

 

It seems natural to me to be able to respond to another's posts until the topic or sub-topic comes to its natural end.

 

Seeing your final post I expected you would have closed the topic. That's kinda what a summation would imply. The topic was very good and had been discussed pretty thoroughly anyway. It was a good time to close it.

 

Sorry if I got it closed. I know I contributed to it.
