WTF happened to over yonder?!

[colchar]

THIS, by the way (the above post by CB&B) speaks for itself. It is texbook quality MOD material. In essence, it is an "alert." CB&B did NOT give us a "Warning." He did not threaten to "Ban" anyone. He did not conclude by writing/threatening, "You have been warned!" He simply stated a legitimate concern and had/has the insight to know and trust members here know what to do with it.

Good job CB&B...............seriously. Knowingly or unknowingly, you just made the case for what makes this site so great.

I agree.

And Colchar, suck on this: , you Rush-loving ASS CLOWN!

And I'm determined to make CB&B do this for the rest of the night.

I have my force field set to full beer. Won't happen.

Maybe not, but I can sure as hell try!

Okay, in light of recent events, I would like to propose a handful of new "rules" or "thoughts in general" to help guide us all to Nirvana again.

Don't assume or judge. Everyone deserves a clean slate when it comes to judging intent.
Be respectful. Kind of speaks for itself.
Rights don't make wrongs. When in doubt, choose what you know is right when posting.
Consider how others will feel when you post.
Ask if you have to. But you DON'T have to.
Never post drunk. Okay, nevermind on that one.
Eating your words. Remember, no matter what you write, you will have to own up to the content.
Always take the high road. You'll sleep better at night.
Trolling is not allowed. It's immature.
Make every effort to contribute to the boards daily. Help build a legacy.
Everone here is human. We cannot forget that.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this place. It's so not that place. Not that there's anything wrong with that place, in many people's opinions. And there's nothing wrong with other people's opinions, even if they do not align with my opinions.

Fuck that, Nirvana sucked. Cobain was so overrated. Why would we want to go back there again?

Yeah, that one is a non-starter around here.

Always take the high road. You'll sleep better at night.

I've got insomnia so no chance.

Everone here is human.

Well some of us are.

This is all in good natured fun and everyone knows that. Can you imagine the meltdown that would've occurred if we'd ever tried this over there?

I like you a lot, CBB. I'm just sad that, a year after this mostly manufactured conflict should be a forgotten non-issue, there's still like some sort of war mentality happening. The two sites have little to do with each other at this point. I understand that JBDuke is still a focal point, since he was in the middle of the late unpleasantness of April Fool's 09. But Evans? What did he ever do? What did anybody other than Jumbo or JBDuke do, for that matter? There are 20 mods over there.

And even then, in the supposedly offensive message, JBDuke was encouraging people in the LTN to contribute to threads that don't serve as a collector thread for smalltalk. What's so bad about that? He was nice.

I've barely read either site since BB season ended (I'm a busy lazy bad mod I guess), but I got stuff in my inbox about a new CT-DBR war. It's just sad to me.

For someone who hasn't read DBR much since BB season ended, I gotta laugh that you'd rather come over here and stir up trouble versus your job over there. You can't be all that busy if you need to come here and pick and choose the threads you read then respond in manner that makes you look like an ass.

We all still love one another, right?

Oh what sad times are these, when passing moderators can say "Ni" at will to old posters.
There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred.

I've emailed the three mods to keep an eye on this thread. Right now nothing is being deleted, but once again remember that if any posts become too inflamatory or attacking they have some decisions to make. This discussion is a healthy one to have..but if you contribute to it double check to make sure your words are not a direct attack at anyone else. Colchar's above response is a perfect example..well thought out criticsm with out resorting to name calling. He gets a spork.

My sentiments exactly (well, without the spork).

I'm ready to stop reading about DBR and "over yonder". I'm ready for people here to move on and quit complaining. I'll still love you all if you choose to keep it going but I do really hope that one day, CTN will be free of critiques, criticisms, and complaints about DBR.

For many of us, I think DBR is a dead horse. It's time to stop beating it.

With love and respect. Go Duke.

Can't wait to tune in tomorrow and see what transpires here tonight, if anything further, and throughout the day tomorrow. Our highly paid mods may need one of these by noon or suppertime tomorrow:

Personally, and just for shits and giggles, I think Lavabe should be made to do some work rather than just lazing around in the Lay-Z-Boy like the rest of us did when we were mods. I think I'm gonna start a flame war for the sole purpose of making him do some work.In that spirit I'd just like to announce that all of your favourite bands suck.

Geez... I FINALLY get a decent night's sleep, and all stuff breaks loose.

Maybe someone else took my recommendation for Mexican food in the Loop. Once again... SORRY!! Time to get out the lemon peppers.

I agree completely.

I look forward to the day where references to the DBR are links to threads of general interest (ie: "Duke finds way to clone past players...beginning with class of 2028 all duke players will be clones of previous players") not 'did you see what those $%^$%^ did now'.
