Some of you will doubtlessly ROFL with this post, and that's ok http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif but I would like to request that you ease up on the bunny references. I counted the following threads as having had bunny references:

AD & D Spells Not Worth Memorizing
Dear Ziroc: Concerning our avatars...http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
BUNNY!!!!!!!!!
OK. I'm bored. Bored with BG games, bored talking religion, bored....

Cloudy's Cafe-conversation zone 8-27
Sheesh...
A jovial Hyena pack meeting....
Hello, It's good to be back!
Most POWERFUL clan
bunny and snake
All Hail the new King of Gods
What is it with this board.....
Waky waky!!!!
I declare myself the Official Demon/Villain of IW......
Thought I'd drop by for a visit....
nooo......
What shall we do Azure??

Contrary to popular belief, I think that a bit of spam is good for the soul, releases frustrations, builds camaraderie and all that. Everyone talks shit once in a while. Hell, I've done it myself. But eighteen threads is a bit over the top, don't you think? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

If you want to keep this bunny war going, try and keep them to threads dedicated to the subject and try not to spam other threads with it. This is my real issue. I've received complaints from a number of people who are a bit upset that their threads have been "hijacked" as a result of this and it's never pleasant for me to have to deal with this situation.

A bit of self-control and moderation is all I'm asking for. Fair enough? http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif


P.S. Yorick - this includes you too, mate! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Don't ask. I *could* have been out getting smashed at the pub but what do I do instead? The things I do for people... http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Besides, I'm getting smashed at the pub right after this.

I thought it was kinda funny at first, but it becomes a bit http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...s/rolleyes.gif after a while. (at risk of being told I have no sense of humour!)

I'll clear this up
For me
As i meant the bunny thread
was just to stay in this thread and nowhere else

What is it with this board was a serious display of concern from my side as a bunny war was started which in my eyes is not healthy at all

Any other thread i use a bunny is like the smilie cloudy uses
has nothing to do with the thread
it's the others that jump to it and try to unlock a bunny war which i find very disturbing

Thank you Memnoch!

Was wondering why this was allowed to proliferate, but the fluffy 'fiasco' was shut-down? Don't get me wrong, I participated too, but an invasion of 18 threads with a new one having to be started just to slow it down is a bit much!

Sorry, I did not realise you were taking offence. Once again I'm sorry for the whole bunny thing Rikard.

I will admit I posted in the bunny thread (Heck, as Memnoch says, a little spam relaxes so long as you don't overdo it) but I agree that
a) the bunnies should stay in the bunny thread
b) An entire bunny war is overdoing it, or?

I can't say for the other mods, but the reason I didn't quash anything was that no offensive language was being used, unlike the infamous "fluffy" fiasco (and that was Big Z that closed that one!)

Personally, I had no problem with the Bunny thread...if anything, it brought back feelings of nostalgia from the "good old days". Even I participated in it a little. I agree with Memnoch, though...18 (19?) threads is a tad much. I had not tallied the number, although I did quell the potential bunny uprising in Cloudy's cafe. I also received no complaints from others, otherwise I would have probably stepped in as well. So, Memnoch, good call, mate! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

To support Memnoch: the original thread wasn't a problem...the problem is when it starts infiltrating other threads where people are having more serious discussions. Have fun, but keep it localized! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no.../xyxthumbs.gif

Cheers,

I just checked - in some of those threads (the Hi Im new here thread for instance) bunnies were only mentioned in passing or as a BTW and were not replied to. I don't think this is as bad because it doesn't change the subject. I do object to http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/bunny.gifs hijacking other people's threads though.

My point exactly. If you feel this overwhelming need to perpetrate all manner of cruelties on inoffensive little mammals that never did a thing to you http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no.../1grlaugh2.gif then keep it to its own thread, don't pollute other threads. Then I don't have to field complaints from people, and then you don't have to put up with me. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

Oh well fair enough. This thread is hilarious though. The list of titles knowing they had bunnies was a screamer. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no.../1grlaugh2.gif

Yes, you have to watch those bunnies...you know how they multiply!
You get two together and soon six are running amok...before you know it eighteen of them are trying to find a less crowded life in other threads!
Bunnies are just like cats and dogs....spay or neuter all your pets! If you are not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
