Put an end to popups!

The event is up, but the address was changed to get rid of CT, Jagwah and a few other undesirables.

Az: Why the rant? This one thread was bumped to ask for more news, and is a site important to many who browse here. Why does it have any less business being here than other threads? Admittedly the thread has been spammed, but it was bumped just to ask for news. This isn't about a circle-jerk, this is about getting news as to whether or not it's up.

As of yet, I have no news about why it's down or for how long

Actually, I didn't mind that, at all, until the moment someone actually asked from JohnT to remove the URL of it, or something. I'll meet you at midnight near mystery creek.

What is so bad about it? We don't want to make it invite only, since it complicates things, and makes it cumbersome, IMHO. However we don't want it to be overrun, and as such, have asked that Eventis not be linked to. We would like to keep it as a relatively small community. Far more importantly, some of the issues discussed there are sensitive, and as such people would not like links to it bandied about the net. That was why John T was asked to remove the link, and why I am asking you to remove the link you posted. You don't use the site, you have no need to post that link. What is the purpose of posting the link? There is little to be gained from posting it, yet we have asked that it not be linked to, because it does affect us. Please respect that.

I'm wondering why this thread has been allowed to stay open, when a similar thread [ as far as spam content goes ] was closed without explanation.

Az: Thank you I do understand you're concerns. This started as one thread thing just for fun, but has got out of control. I will ask that it be tempered...

* Drogue looks at the usual suspects.

Verto: I think the others were closed because
a) they lacked a point, even behind all that spam, and
b) there were more than one of them.

We usually allow a "single" thread for other sites when they are down. It gives people a chance to stay in touch what's going on. We also "try" to keep in mind the nature of the site and allow a more flexable view on what's posted in it. We allow a little more spamming

However, I'm really tempted to close this one down as well.
Since they don't want a link posted, and want to keep Apolyton people from going there, this could be considered a club thread. Other sites post here and would welcome people to show up... It seems to go against the spirit of what we allow by having a site that doesn't want people from here to be posting about their site when it's down.

Some might find it kind of insulting that they want to use Apolyton to post updates about their site, but don't want people from Apolyton to find a way to their site. I've received a few complaints already, and I must say that I can understand the logic behind the complaints.

I wouldn't say that they don't want people to go there. They just didn't want to advertise. So only people who are really interested will go there.

Tiger is going to go to Kindergarten this year. We found out that there is this so called "magnetic" school which has a special education system and very good reputation and open to all people in the city. However they only have so many spot so they run a lottery to select who gets to be in. They don't advertise so that they don't attract too many people. Only those people who are really interested in finding a good school will find them. Btw we were just informed last Wednesday that Tiger wasn't selected in the lottery, which is a big bummer to us. We are now thinking about selling our house that we loved so much and moving to a better school district.

I think everybody who requested a link would be provided with one. I have actually personally send the link to a few people when they posted in this thread and asked for a link. And I also received responses saying that they wasn't real serious when asking for the link.

I would say that its mainly a psychology/advertising thing, to get people to see what the fuss is about and thus look up the site.

Its also a self-deluding image thing that if challenged fades away pretty damn quickly.

I do understand what you mean, and I understand the complaints about it. It is not that we don't wish people to go to it, most of the members are Apolyton posters and are always increasing. We do want people to go there. The no link rule is to stop it being overrun. We don't mind people going there, people talking about it, etc. We would just rather it wasn't directly linked to. I would like to stress it is only the linking to it we would rather keep from happening, and since others are welcome to comment, talk about it and anything else in this thread, it is no more a club thread than any thread for another site that's down.

If you wish to close this thread, I have no real objection, since Events talk on 'Poly as it is anyway, though I would like to post a thread stating it's up when it's up again. However I would disagree that it is a club thread, at least any more than any thread about a site that's down.

Actually, I disagree with that. The no link reasoning is exactly as HongHu described, and it is not a different form of advertising.

While I said I was "tempted"... you will notice I posted instead of closing it

I understand your point of view that you don't want the site overrun... but I truely don't think that would happen

But people have complained (people complain about everything), so I'm just doing my job by checking it out.

Again... we do allow a "single" thread for other sites. As long as they are free, non commercial, and welcome new members.
