This move is not even borderline, it's flat out retarded.

In the aftermath of last night's events I'm not going to do anything with this thread. But in the future, Sloww, I'd ask that complaints take the form of threads in the Site Feedback & News forum or PMs to the appropriate moderator.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

The thread in question is viewable here in OT. OT is where this thread belongs.

Listen, Ace -- you're in no position to judge what content is good or not to an OTF community you're not really part of.Originally posted by Robert Plomp View Post
You run this site now, fine, but you are on a VERY FINE LINE in driving away a huge portion of this community and in just a few days you have stepped over it with huge strides several times.
This community is mobile, we can and will leave to other sites because the community is the only thing this site has.
Look. There's been no Civ4 news postings since July 08. That's a big hint. The frontpage needs a redesign too.
You have bigger fish to fry than meddling with OT and pissing off what little community you have left over trivial things and obvious blunders."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Webmasters speaking of forum posts as "content" is analogous to record companies referring to music as "product."
Page views/eyeballs are like CD sales -- an business metric that denies the inherent value of the material in question (think of the early days of punk and rap). The sad part is that there is no business model for Apolyton, especially the OTF. So the metric is capricious.
Calling the threads/posts in the OTF "content" (and, even worse, arbitrarily designating some as "good" and others "bad") is indicative of someone who doesn't understand the genre, yet is forced to deal with it. I can only conclude that CyberShy decided to buy the site because he thought there was a way to make it financially viable. Because the OTF doesn't create ROI outside its own borders, it will forever be the red-haired outcast at Poly family gatherings.Last edited by -Jrabbit; May 3, 2009, 11:31.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Robert Plomp is a dumb douchebag. Give me a PM and I'll be happy to teach you what hole to put it in. I know it can be confusing at first

Uh, guys, what's the problem? It's now easier to see when the admin has closed threads, and easier to see what kind of threads they typically close.Comment

They shouldn't be closing most of them anyway, and just closing them and leaving them in the original forum is fine.Originally posted by Kuciwalker View Post"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
