Point of order?

[theredpen]

Since when is posting an appreciation thread "calling out"?!

[DarkTirade]

1. Yeah, I was a bit confused by that.

Maybe someone thought it was sarcasm?

[theredpen]

3. It was serious

Sigh. People don't appreciate artists in their own lifetime, I guess.

[Dr. Strange]

5. Talk to temeah about that one.

He knows all about artists not being appreciated.

[ThomCat]

2. Well, it's calling attention to specific DUer.

But if you're appreciating or complementing that person it's usually not a problem. :shrug:

[theredpen]

4. I don't know how many appreciation threads I've seen in the lounge.

jlake didn't have any problem with it.

Damn. You'd think the mods would have better things to do in GD:P. Oh well, it's their call.

[DarkTirade]

6. I was also a bit surprised that a couple comments got deleted.

Yes, there was obviously a bit of sarcasm there... but it wasn't malicious.

7. Link?

because I have no idea what is happening most or nearly all of the time.

9. This is the locked thread

8. beats the crap out of me

all of those DS1 threads were allowed to stand :wtf: is the difference??

[DarkTirade]

10. Should ask the mods maybe

sometimes they'll unlock something if they decide it shouldn't be locked. Let 'em know that it was serious, not sarcasm.

*edited to fix my St. Patty's day drinking induced spelling error.* :P

11. Yeah, well, I posted that thread to have fun...

...and people seemed to be having fun with it... and now it's lost its fun.

I suppose I could start a "jlake appreciation" thread that may remain unlocked, but somehow that lacks the appropriate over-the-topness.

Sigh. Sometimes life just doesn't produce the results you were hoping for.

12. Locking.

Please do not start a thread that is a continuation of a locked thread.
