Oh, I read both minds and eldritch tomes with regularity.

Also, I don't have to bother getting my mom out of the office anymore so she can give me back the PS2

[LordNagash]

Actually. This lock I can admit was bad. But I did it because simply... I guess I needed to see for myself how bad the reactions to this one simple thread being locked can get. Simply put I don't think it's worth locking on my part ever now simply because people react so badly to it. It's... Weird.

But yes I apologize for that one.

No real reason to apologize. You've managed to see that you have a considerable amount of influence on the forums, (or at least on GD), and folks will look at your actions and warnings and reconsider their own.
All in all, a pretty good outcome.

* Something Evil shoos _____ away again.

Yes. Social interactions work that way.

Except that's not an example anyone should be following. It's bad enough to lock a thread because you don't agree with what is happening in it, but to do it for something happening in a completely different thread? How is that at all a positive example?

If everyone follows that then you just have a ridiculous cold war where everyone is locking random threads for perceived slights everywhere.

In all honesty, that sounds incredibly amusing.

And you seem to be discounting the existence of the "create new topic" button. Just because a thread is old and well established doesn't mean it's suddenly this magical taboo that you must not replicate

Looking forward to it.

True. just look at all the random emotion threads scattered in the underpages, and the backup happy thread currently titled nothing like it.

DISCUSSION. FUCKING. OVER.

[Solifuge]

God, I need a haircut too. The semester is over, and now I get to (continue to) look for Summer work! I'm looking forward to working again quite a bit, actually. Lazy summers end up getting unproductive fast without some structure in my life.

Also, one of my buddies (the one who hops on my livestream all the time) graduated with his degree! Yay graduation!

Spoiler: since the discussion is apparently over (click to show/hide)

so basically you just locked the thread to see how much attention you could get from it

:T

I fear I must withdraw my forum welcome. I'll be quite happy to give it back once you put your hat back forwards, pull your pants up, and stop having a 90's attitude all over the place though!

Congratulations, man. Just make sure you keep it in a locked metal case lest it come alive at night.

Well, she did say she wanted to gauge her power on the forum, and apologized for the threadlock, saying that she won't do it for such reasons again. So I fail to see how this is still an issue. So,

DISCUSSION. FUCKING. OVER.

[Simmura McCrea]

Started brushing my metric fuckton of hair for the first time in like 3 years. Looks nicer, feels nicer, glad I did. Also, not hungry anymore. Thank god for lunchtime.

[Aklyon]

Yay for fun game.
Not yay for demo limits.

[Max White]

[Mindmaker]

DISCUSSION. FUCKING. OVER.

And who are you to decide this?

[Darvi]

I bet 15 dorfbucks.

IT IS OVER BECAUSE WE ALL STOPPED.
