Am I the only one who thinks that Tombots locking of the Ariane thread was a tad dictatorial?

I understand that the whole thing wound him up (out of all proportion in my opinion) but a lot of threads annoy a lot of people.

oh alright have your terrible fun that will end in us all becoming slaves to our own machines like the matrix but with lots of hard work instead of sitting in a bubble of fluid

i think tombot set an important precedent -- that thread was fucked up.

tombot you're a bro and all but you're easily the worst mod in my two years on this fucker.

Wot, him wot painted "The Scream" ?

I agree that the thread was fucked up and (let's be fair) pretty gross (and I say this having indulged in the grossness of it all myself) but since when has that been a reason to lock a thread?

I would disagree however that tom is a terrible mod because he reversed his decision. Something you can't do on that ariane game, incidently..."No, wait I didn't mean it...let's go to the hot tub..."

― Ned Trifle II, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 09:01 (eighteen years ago)

He locked that thread WAY too early for a first date. On a score of one to ten, I give him a five.

lol

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 18:15 (eighteen years ago)

i thought the locking was hilarious and maybe unfair but who gives a shit

― gff, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 18:18 (eighteen years ago)

In order to think that I'd have to think something, which is more than I can be arsed to do.

― Aimless, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

dictatorial locking of threads is ALWAYS a+ awesome, never gets old to me!

i miss when jess used to go apeshit erasing stuff at will...cuz ppl's reaction to it is always way more entertaining than whatever was erased or locked.

plus that thread was hella creepy.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 19:25 (eighteen years ago)

what's going on in it? i have been avoiding it because it is bright red and i am at work.

A womitocracy.

― Abbott, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 19:59 (eighteen years ago)

i think it's funny that people are bitching about tombot locking a thread that was as M@tt says, hella creepy.

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:01 (eighteen years ago)

The thing had gotten up to like 500 posts, hadn't it? How much more can one say at that point?

― Abbott, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:02 (eighteen years ago)

Aaaaaaaaand you were right!

RIP terrible, very long thread about a pointless and disgusting thing. Dec '07 - Jan '08.

(Full disclosure: I'm just mad that I never got her to put out.)

― HI DERE, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:14 (eighteen years ago)

It was a harmless thread about a video game. I think NSFW tags were justified but locking wasn't. I'm glad it was unlocked.

― Sundar, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 20:16 (eighteen years ago)

Tombot's new name shd be Tad Dictatorial

On the Internet's League Table of disgusting that silly game is a long way short of "disgusting". But yeah random threadlocks always make lulz happen.

― Noodle Vague, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 21:21 (eighteen years ago)

eye of the beholder folks. And just by the way last I checked the thread was unlocked so those of you getting your two cents in after the third post to this thread can eat some big poisonous shit and go die in a fire.

― El Tomboto, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 21:38 (eighteen years ago)

(I acknowledged that and said I'm glad.)

― Sundar, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

i think the subject went from being about that one thread to being about what a terrible mod you are in general.

― chaki, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 21:41 (eighteen years ago)

hehe jk you are grebt :)

― chaki, Wednesday, 30 January 2008 21:42 (eighteen years ago)

poisonous shit is on your left! fire is down the hall and to the right!
