Soap-Box Mothballed

[THE_Editor]

As the title says !!

Bit drastic aint it ??

[Drizzt]

LOL...

Instead of keeping complaining, think a bit on how much Ant has to be upset and tired of all this shit that is going on that forum, uh?
(not that I'm innocent, anyway...)

I've got three things to say about it.

1. Paddy made the last post. Congratulations
2. I'm a bit worried about Zokes
3. It will greatly reduce the bandwith.

[Ant]

The thing that always made me proud about this site was that we had a real good community spirit, lately all it seems to be about is bitching, moaning, flaming and arguing and I'm sick of it. People talk about freedom of speech and yet all they do if someone else excercises that right and it differs with them is to try and beat them to a pulp as a person or as a people.

Poor Zokes will have nothing to do during the day now. He may explode! I do hope they open the soap box back up or maybe a different version of the soap box? The be careful box

[Ant]

I'll have to reopen it but without giving it a name so I'm not forced to live and die by the values that name supposedly implies!

[Drizzt]

Maybe Ant should open a Zokes Forum where only him can post, so we will not risk that the poor guy have to start seriously working...

(seriously Ant, obviously you are tired, but...this is the way human race is. If people could understand that differents point of view and respect for each other is possible, well...there should be no need for war and no need for closing TSB)

Is there a way to ban the offending people from a specific forum ?

[Jon P. Inghram]

Dang, now we can't open a thread in the Soap Box saying it's Matrox's fault, that when they dropped the ball with the Parhelia they made it inevitable that we would begin the slow entropy of doom.

And who, is offending?

[Admiral]

Guess that is for Ant and/or the moderators to decide who should sit on the penalty bench.
I'm not about to name them, but there are a couple of fellow MURCers I have no particular love for.

1. Paddy made the last post. Congratulations

[KvHagedorn]

Sure is peaceful now.. but then so is a cemetery.

Yes, you can be the last 'poster' child.


Ant, I can understand your reasoning in removing the soap-box. There was alot of animosity expressed in it, most likely due to recent world events.
- maybe we all need a "time out" (works for my children, should work for adults).

[Jon P. Inghram]

Bah, there they go tossing all the good forums away! I could live without the Soap Box, but MGA Tools and PowerDesk?!? What's he thinking?
