you are not the first to suggest this. we told lighty to archive it when he locked it, but he must have missed that.
I mentioned this in the other topic, and I honestly can't believe the audacity of half the people on the board. Let me be the first to state that I hope this is not archived because the behavior in that topic is low. I dunno about you, but I don't want that kind of rude behavior being put up on a pedestal and praised as if the attitude is a good one to have.
I don't know who started it and I really don't care either, but provoking him and keeping it going was a really bad judgement call for everyone involved.

I don't believe that anyone apart from Troy (now banned) was rude. People may have been "toying" with him with reponses that might be silly fun and harmless (but also showed how silly and idiotic the situation troy has created was), but no one was directly feeding the troll. *see picture of british faggots whenever he called us all faggot or rabbids drawing of "eating crab off a pussy"*
i do not feel the slightest guilt for what went on in that thread and i honestly can believe the "audacity" of "half the people on the board" (about twelve people posted in that thread, at most). i personally don't believe it's audacious to have some good fun at the expense of an individual who deserved every letter of it. i also believe, like creo, that troy (rudie) was the only person in that thread who was rude as his behaviour was unprovoked and grossly uncalled for.
but personal opinions shouldn't really matter here. if humor at the expense of others is against mofo policy and not just your own moral guidelines, then i would agree with not archiving this thread or endorsing it in any way. but if it is against mofo policy, why do we have so many injokes that arose from making fun of silly people? why, then, is matthew hayter's "amazing editorial" in the mofo classics? rudie's thread is not at all unprecedented.
You guys should have informed a staff member and left him alone. The thread shows that you chose to feed a troll instead, playful or not. Not worth archiving in my book.
Terg dear, Dubs was well aware of the goings on of the topic, as was Dr Lighthead himself. Both were ready and waiting to act IF the posting got out of hand. (Lighty actually did have to act towards the end, and did so swiftly and gracefully).
Dubs even posted
Do I enact my reserve admin status now that Huckleberry Finn here has whitewashed the proverbial fence of rules, or should we play with Rain Man a little while longer until Rico gets here?
I'll let you fine folks decide.
Vec, unfortunately wasn't available at that time, or we could have had the trifecta of staff memebers...

And on that day, mob rule triumphed. The old gods abandoned their world, and with no one left to guide the masses Anarchy once again reigned supreme over the land.
NEXT ISSUE: The End of the Golden Age Draws Near? Lighthead's Secret War of Attrition!
My god, he even wins EVC topics 😯
This happened while I was out of town? Holy crap. D: Honestly, after reading some of that, I think it should be Cj'd... hard.
I always feel like people who don't understand this kind of fun were the object of all of it in their younger years :0

So? Just because someone is an Admin doesn't mean that anything they do automatically has the seal of approval of the entire staff, nor does it mean that a topic didn't break rules. And Admins can make mistakes. Remember, Dubs has posted questionable things before that were funny, but later he was called on it and apologized and shut down the thread. So using "But a Mod/Admin was involved!" doesn't really justify it.
But I have changed my mind about archiving it. It WILL be archived - in CJ's stomach. So it is written, so it was just done. So everyone should be happy now.
You are correct Acrio. But the kids you pick on now will be your bosses and message board administrators tomorrow.
Do you believe in-
~Tobe
So since everyone was picking on Rudie we're planning to admin him???
Sure. 
~Tobe
sounds like fun times
the forum will of course become less rude under his jurisdiction
nice work, terg
"I don't like Terg, so I'm going to make him look foolish by linking to an apparently controversial topic in my sig even though it's freely viewable in a different part of this forum. I'm such a rebel!"
my color is much closer to this, actually
same difference
You make Grounder look really young. 😮 [/Acrio]

I agree. Nobody broke any rules and why shouldn't people have some entertainment with a lamer?
I think it is a strong candidate for archiving.
I'm not sure on the archiving aspect, sure, it was funny to look over, but not really something to look back on.
I also don't think anybody did anything wrong here except Troy. Fair enough originally he asked a question, and was answer fairly, then went ballistic, the members doing nothing more than acting as they would normaly, albiet with somebody that cant take a joke, and they have tried to be nice too. So I don't afree with condeming any of them, though I don't go with truely condeming Troy either, who seemed mostly just to be explosive, an maybe can be tought.
He was being a great muppet though.
Well, if you guys really think that a bunch of pages of parroting a troll's lines in a spamlike way back to him is funny, clever and original enough to go into the "good" archives, then go right ahead. I think it is none of those three things, and nothing to be proud of, but it's clear enough that what I think is in the minority.
I just think it's fun to play along with a lamer every once in a while, if they're not particularly malicious. o.o
Lamer or not, things still got out of line, anyone involved knew this, and it wasn't stopped when it should have.
But do you secretly relish the chaos and only say that to feel like some kind of snappily dressed DS RPG character in a high-tech police station? Or did only I do that
I think you are going to lie!
Right, anyway, point is, ignoring the drama about how people should have or shouldn't have acted, the motion's declined. Time to let this topic rest before it gets out of hand.
