AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Troof, a PBTalk thread isnt necessary to be a good AO Poster. Papa Smurf, welcome to the club. I dont care if you are a 2k6'er, you're hella more mature than half the burritos here
thanks mobsterboy, AO is a great place, i really enjoy it...but people like DM give it a bad name
or mabe your afraid of being flamed? ive made some good topics and bad topics it takes trial and error, you all know that.
I'm sorry, maybe you don't understand what flaming means. It means that people don't want you making that post. You seem to think that this is your personal playpen. What you don't realize is that every other person on this forum looks through what you've posted and in many(most?) cases, dislikes it.
You might say,"So what? They're just people online."
Most of the rest of AO is mature enough to understand that flaming isn't just an invitation. Flaming means you've done something wrong. In some of your threads, you've realized a mistake, and rectified it, and in some of those threads, you have even been praised for your reversal. But then you go and make a new pointless thread.
I think that if you stopped posting for the sake of posting. If you spent more time thinking about what your post contributed to the forum than just for the sake of getting your post count higher, I think people would stop flaming you. I just don't think that's what you want. I think you want the attention. It's harmless, we can't hurt you(as much as I think triangle wants to ).
And I do believe that you've made good posts in addition to bad posts. The problem I see is that you make too many bad posts in comparison to the number of good posts, and I don't see the balance shifting.
On the topic of PBN rejects... I haven't noticed any real influence in that direction. If you're referring to the recent random funny pictures, I think it's just a fad. Sooner or later, they'll get tired of posting the pictures, and things will go on to the next thing. It's not malicious, it's just humorous. It doesn't hurt anything. If you're tired of seeing them, then don't go in those threads. Most of the time, you can tell whether the thread will invite rebuttals and picture wars, but not always. This thread for instance, I believe was targeted at triangle and don miguel, and so therefore you should expect them to post in their traditional ways. Triangle with pictures, and don miguel with his angry, defensive, "I did nothing wrong" stance. Your very thread sparked exactly the type of posts you dislike.

I think it deserves a second QFT.
