Never let it die...

Post by Hermskii » Fri Dec 12, 2008 11:45 pm

Never-ever-ever forget that on Nov. 18, 2008 HellSniper said "We have a new member here called HottieHotHot so welcome!" and thus began the fastest recorded thread ever to exist on the HOH forum. Here are the stats:

In 25 days this one thread created 23 pages consisting of 344 replies and 2098 views between 7:53 PM on Nov. 18, 2008 till 10:14 PM Dec. 12, 2008.

During this time "per my recollection" I was requested to NUKE, LOCK, or DELETE this topic somewhere around 10 times. To date I think this is one of maybe 2 threads that I have ever NUKED from this forum. I actually thing this is the first because it hurt a little to remove it to be honest. This thread had such a pure adolescence feeling to it yet even the grown-ups jumped in often. This thread had so much hope, despair, timeless immaturity, passion, disgust, sadness, willingness, regret, anger, reflection, opinion, ill-will, subjecture, confidence, judgement, recollection, politics and finally openness that I had to give it due justice by posting this. This thread was the best and the worst of who we all are or who we were or who we might become. Some way, some how, this thread served as a mirror into part of each of our lives either in the past, present or sadly our future.

I asked that 5 sequential people vote to erase this thread after the originator of the thread requested that it be nuked. I quickly got 6 responses all "BEGGING IN SOME FASHION" that it be permanently deleted. So, I did "NUKE" it though I regret doing so already.

I want to take a sec to thank everyone who was part of the original thread especially HellSniper who innocently brought us a new member and earned his man-card in my opinion or at least part of it by way of doing so.

I hope I never see another train-wreck like what this thread was that I just described. If I do, Chuck Norris, Goku and I are going to hurt some folks. Hehehe. Have a good one all. PEACE!
~Peace~

I for one have no problem with insignificant/meanlingless threads, posts, comments, suggustions...etc
If anything I feel that in my time here I have become one of the biggest culprits of such nonsense.
And with a name like MEAT who would think less of me...?
However what I found disturbing or some what out of place was that a sensible informative forum
had turned into a Yahoo instant messanger.
And something that started out as being cute and different from forum norm in time turned into something
that should have been conducted over the phone or in person.
True it was fun to watch, much like a train wreck, but I for one hope it's not the future of what is to come for this forum.

Hehe...a name like MEAT...now that's funny.

It should have died a long time ago, it festered like a bad sore on the board!

Wasted several minutes of my life I will never get back with useless info. :P
