Granted, this isn't an actual thread, but is there some record out there for the minimum number of posts before we get an "I'm leaving" thread/post?

If you can come to this board and dog the owner right after he dies, then this board and its mods suck.

An apology, that is insincere, is not apology at all.

neg rep to ya.

sorry, we have rules around here….if you’re leaving you have to start an official “I’m Leaving And Never Coming Back” thread…

that way we can hold it against you when you return….and they ALL return

that's how I feel and I didn't even say ban him, just a vacation...:shrug:

I didn't see him dog Lamar, just everyone that is upset about Lamar's passing. but I could be wrong. :shrug:

seriously Mac58 has only 700 posts, cant we ban him and forget he ever existed? I really dont give a **** about him. I dont even give two flip.

Now that everyone has ignored my first question...

What brought about this thread?

Love you too, Stevie.


For as long as I've been a mod here, this board has never employed strict moderation methods. To my knowledge, none of us spend our days sitting at a computer with our mouse hovering over the "Ban" button hoping that someone will slip up so that we can pull the trigger and end their message board existence. Some may think that the mods are TOO relaxed at times, but it's one of the things that sets this board apart from others.

Along with giving posters the freedom to say stupid things, this board also gives posters the freedom to tell people off when they say stupid things. Generally, that's pretty effective around here. Some posters have even survived being on the receiving end of that and managed to become better contributors eventually.

Stevie, you and I both know that the personality of this board has changed quite a bit in the last couple of years. And I bet you know me well enough to know some of my reasons for not posting here as much lately. But the real measure of this message board is not that one person posted something offensive and disrespectful (and at an incredibly bad time at that), but that so many posters immediately jumped to Lamar's defense.

Another thing that has not changed in the time that I've been here is that this is a community-driven board. If anyone thinks that something needs to be done about mac58, post a poll. Banned? Thread-starting privileges removed? Nothing, just use the ignore list? Put it to a vote.

If you feel that strongly about it, you don't have to be a mod to do something about it.

This message board is like a car, and the members of this community are in the driver's seat. The moderators are just the engine that tries to get the board to where the members want it to be.

I don't have any positives after watching this f**kstick pull a 360.

What the hell is up in your ass, kid?

I'm not even sure I could assort you as an adversary at this point because in order to be considered an opponent there would need to be a contest.

I swear I'm gonna puke if I see another performance like this, we lose a great person, and this is how you respect/repay him? I swear between this thread and that locked thread, mac58 probably has the worst luck in the world. Hell, if mac58 won a pussy in a raffle it would already have a cock in it.

I like you, Mr. Wichita Lineman. You are an insightful and clever poster and I really hate to see you go. There's no reason that the negativity surrounding this thread or the reason for it should force you away.

But if you really feel you have to go, do you have to take your marbles? I was hoping you would leave them.

I guess you didn't read my post "THINK before you post"

You ****ing moron.
