The closing of the "Fluffy Hunters" thread

Melusine has a hampster named Fluffy...her friends are a bunch of Fluffies, Fluffies of all colors. I don't know how or where the war got started but the thread was pretty funny if you could wait on it to load...lots of graphics of hamster gifs and fighting smileys.

Oh I get it. I wish I could've seen the thread before it got deleted. Ah well, I guess somebody's gonna have to start ANOTHER funny thread! But not me... I'm not that funny, well except for spur of the moment things.

I don't think it got deleted just 'locked' so no one else can post there. It should be on the second or third thread page with about 11 total 'pages'

Hmm, adding 2 cents here..
I do understand if Ziroc is closing a thread if there has been heat from mails to him, since the board is for people of all ages, one has to be careful of ones laguage. As a very freespirited Swede (Not to be read as disrespectful ok!) I have a little problem regarding the lines here since we seem to be more "free" in our language and such regarding age here. Yet that is my opinion, and I respect Zirocs and the moderators position and actions on this board, they do have a responsibility to ALL users here.

We will just have to try our way, and try to make the best of the situation, i don´t think we have to censur ourselves mouse, and I hope we don´t have to. I´m not very found of censur.. But a little more time to make our posts might make that not needed..

Originally posted by Mouse: The disturbing aspect are the comments “Have I not said kids under 14 read this forum?” and “ I'm closing this.. it's spam.” . Firstly, I did not consider the posts spam. As I said above a lot of people took time, effort and creativity in their posts.

Look, I told you guys to cut down on these kind of posts, they ARE spam IMO. And the reason I'm getting tough on spam posts is because many people have emailed me about them, and (the #1 reason)-- I don't have unlimited server space , Actually, this forum is taking up 3 megs a day, and it's pushing my 'limit' (They gave me 1.5Gig) so far, the forum is 798MB, Now I am going to HAVE to delete some of the oldest posts and archive them offline until I can get another server, but for now, lets keep it more spam free, just don't flood gen con with them

PS: Some of you ARE right though, if Bladeboy didn't post those posts, it would have been left alone.. MAYBE!! I was reading it, and yeah, a few threads were funny as hell, and cool.. then BLADE posted.. that blade.. so RUSTED and NASTY! DIRTY!!!!! better rub some vasoline on that blade! j/k

Hey Z! You mentioned that you're running out of server space. Just curious if adding another hard drive would help take the stress out of that? I've got a 40GB drive that would be more than happy to donate to the boards, if it would help. Just let me know, and I'll send it.

That is the problem with a 'large' domain like this, while the thread may have been exciting for some, it was offensive to others. It is the unfortunate job of the moderators to police these threads and make a decision on whether the line of decency (not for the thread, but for the forum) has been crossed. In this case I back Ziroc 100% (not that he needs my backing ). You will probably not find a more 'open' person, than me, when it comes to 'sexual' discussion and topics. Nothing (and I mean nothing) offends or embarrasses me, but along with this I do know that others are easily offended and it is for those people that we must 'limit' our speech. Is it wrong? Who knows, maybe we are being censored too much, but on the otherhand, a little bit of censorship goes a long way in keeping this forum as diverse as it is.

Just my 2cents

Then donate money to Ziroc so he can buy more Hard-drive space...
The space he has now is for what he wants it to be.
Remember, you are playing with his money, not yours.
And he is not wrong to decide on how he handles his own property.

Wow man, that's nice of ya, I wish I could accept but the server isn't mine now (it's a new one) and they only allow people to 'upgrade' their HD amount 2 times starts at 500mb, and $50 for each extra block of 500MB. (total 1.5gig). Now my old friend that I used as my server IS back up and online, but I dunno how his financial situation is, if it IS ok, I'll go back to him, and then I could install the 40gig'er and not worry about ANY posts! I HATE not being able to mess with the server.. I could drive over and install stuff, and do work on it and what-not.. I'll ask him this weekend!!
