I was under the impression that Dinosaurs was never going to see the light of day, thus having a forum for it was, well, not necessary. Has its status changed, or is Sid still focused elsewhere?

I bet the admins just keep the Dino forum to tempt innocent new posters to spam there and then brutally hit them with a PCR for their pleasure. Ming already admitted he enjoyed giving the PCR.

I was a moderator for a while, on a forum far, far from here. Then it died. Anyway, my point is that deleting posts and whatnot is fun.

Oh wonderful you try to be creative and bring dead things back for the sake of creating interest and what did you get in response? You get punished. Well thank you Mr. War of Art I hope you enjoyed what you did. Accusing other users is fine work, congrats.

Btw when you don't want that people post in a forum how about closing it? Well I don't understand your actions and never will but I know exactly who to blame for

Ok have a nice day and to all other new user a nice advise:
Don't post into so called "dead" threads or you will get punished, the only problem is: what are dead thread?
Seriously I've no idea. Just try it out, post there and see what you get in response.
Ah it's nice to see this community is sooo friendly to new people and such a warm welcome

Ok why are you so anxious in punishing people? What's wrong in posting nice, little comments even if it's old? Will the world light up in flames? Will the human race die? This can't be the common sense of this site to ran around and accuse other people. We just want to have some fun in posting. I cannot understand such behaviour.

Ok understood but to me this sounds like something little babies do:
"Ah look this evil man does this and that and buaaahh"
I think the mods are competent and see when someone does something wrong and they will act accordingly we surely do not need to push their nose on various subjects. Let them do their work alone I'm more than sure they can.

nice little comments provide little contribution to the forum and waste the time of other posters when they read them.

No, I was the thread starter. Not sure why I appear as a guest with my old username. The account I am using now is the account I used then.

Well, not quite true. It is standard practice NOT to delete the DL. We wouldn't want somebody to come back and create the same DL handle again... so it is just perma banned

yeah, and if we delete all those permabanned dl's our membership would drop below 5000, and we can't have that happening

a DL? what a surprise.

I was hoping after the mods seemed to miss it initially that it would be left to mature the slow way and then drift down to the OT as a warlord and become an Uber-Troll. It had all the classic signs. All of them!

And then at the last moment, my hopes were cruelly dashed. *sigh*
How long is the owner's vacation? Did they get extra days for sheer blinding stupidity and having a DL as transparent as clingfilm? Or days taken off for traditionalism and suicidal gutsiness?

I created two or three threads to revilalize a bit de Dino forum, but doesn't worked.

A good thing in not-very-used forums is to change the limitation of last 10 days to a correct date until a minimum of 10 threads are shown.

In the nationstates forum, FP actually made a decent post. AFAIK, that was the only post in the entire forum worthy of reading.
