After nearly 90 days, what are 90 hours...

[techumseh]

Four more days.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKOS!

Okay, let's try a different tack.

After you get around to doing the SQL merge of awesomeness, I will buy a large Apolyton mug and an Apolyton golf shirt. But not one second before. If you do it really fast, I'll also grab a Commie Yellow tshirt.

/me danges money bags in front of MarkG

Come on, darth overlord. You know you want to.

[MarkG]

because of this post i will delay any act for 3 days

[Mercator]

If you're trying to be funny... it's not working.

This is my first time posting on this thread as until now I've kept my complaints on the Scenario League complaint thread. Now I have the utmost respect when I make this comment, but to delay any action for three days because of a post by St. Leo.... well it seems just a little vindictive of you.

Especially since so many of us have been waiting patiently and politely for the restoration.

when my 9-years of non-profit service to the civ community is being joked upon, i reserve the right for any kind of comment

You're kidding, right??

I can understand that you resent a "bad taste" joke, but I'm sure you can understand too that the frustration gets higher and higher for the damaged forum users...

And I would like to add that the posters behaved VERY politely (except for this post above, which was more a joke IMHO) and showed much patience. I even remember thanking you for your efforts (a bit too early, though ).

BUT, even if I appreciate everything you do for free (Yes, I believe that you don't earn any money for all the hours spent on Poly!) and am grateful for that, and even if I can understand your resenting of the afore-mentioned post, I think it's really unfair to take us all as ostages because of 1 post...

[Sarsstock]

I'm curious Mark G, assuming that nothing can persuade you to cease punishing each and every forum member for St Leo's joke, just what kind of progress can we expect to see when the three day sentence is finished?

Has there been a breakthrough in the restoration process?

So when our combined dozens of years of equally non-profit work for the civ community went down the drain we should just be happy about being held off for months?

[MarkG]

noone asked you to be happy about it

[N35t0r]

Just one question, are you (and Dan I suppose) the only ones with enough powers to do this?

Seing that it was St Leo who (accidentally) deleted the threads, I'm sure he wouldn't complain (much at least ) if he was supposed to restore them... Is there a way to enable him to do so? (Hell, I'd do it myself if asked, but I don't know anything about the forum's software... )

[Mercator]

It wasn't St Leo who deleted it. It was the entire forum that got deleted, not the threads, and St. Leo doesn't have the power do delete forums.

So I'm sure you can understand our ever increasing frustration then...
