My Theory Enter the AD-FREE zone

I suspect that MarkG has got fed up with Apolyton - fed up with the OT in particular - but fed up generally. I bet he wants to move on to other things in his life and not be chained to this site.

His baby, Apolyton, has grown up and developed. Maybe he no longer likes what he sees? The result, he intends to kill his baby. Little by little. A slow death, an ebbing away of life. The dripping of blood at one thread each per day.

And then, in his mind, it will be perfect. It'll be just like he imagines the old days - when it was fun.

I think this recent event says much for the long-term future of the site. I, for one, will be sad when it closes.

Or maybe he`s just sick of the OT. Why impose a limit there and not anywhere else?

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Well, you are just plain wrong.
MarkG is just doing what he thinks is in the best interest of this site. He see's it as a protection against an organized spam attack.
And he is correct.
Both DanQ and MarkG have put a lot of work into this site. They have no intention of trying to kill it. If that's what they wanted, they could just close it down... like many other civ sites have

Ming,

I don't mean he consciously wants to. I think it is a subconscious desire.

Who? From Us? The spammers of the OT? A organized spam attack?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An organized spam attack! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!

What kinda idea is this? Do oyu think we have generals and soldiers numbering in the hundreds, ready to swarm down on Apolyton like Goths? I think Markos has become paranoid - Stalin paranoid - and we're suffering for it...

Got spare money?

JETW: you're way off track here. You are reading too much into the situation. We have no intention of killing Apolyton or anything of the sort.

And, for some reason, you have left me out of the equation in referring to Apolyton being only Markos' 'baby'. Perhaps you did so because it would sound weird using that terminology, and you would probably be right...

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I think linking the OT to something organised is going a bit far. Do you think the denizens of the OT could "organise" anything? Even a spam attack?

Yeah JETW, it's their illegimite baby! Who's the Mom? Oh, wait Mark is. Why? Well, the father is never around and doesn't do anything to help the family, and that's Dan.

And their baby has a horrible wart that is none other than...
The Off-Topic...

And they're trying to cut off that wart. Try going to a doctor, it might be infected.
