Duers, refresh my memory; what was the last system DU implemented? The one that failed?

[mainegreen]

I was trying to remember what it was, but I can't. I just remember it resulted in an epic explosion of nastiness, complaining, and lulz.

Does anyone remember what the heck that feature was?

:think:

[flvegan]

1. Nuclear ignore.

[mainegreen]

2. That was it!

God, that was a hoot.

[lightningandsnow]

3. Explain?

Sounds like fun.

[flvegan]

5. If you put someone on Nuclear Ignore

they couldn't even respond in your threads in addition to the other stuff. There was more to it, but that's what really stood out for me.

[jonnyblitz]

6. couldn't everybody see who everybody had on ignore also?

I could be remembering this wrong but that sticks in my head for some reason.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. Oh yes...

It was awesome! :D

Hey you! I miss you! Shoot me a PM, 'k?

We have a visit to plan, I think. ;)

[flvegan]

8. I think you might be right.

I don't remember all of it.

[Fleshdancer]

9. I LOVED that!

and wasn't there someone with a loooong ignore list too? The snark during that time was priceless. :rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

10. That was

whoisalhedges, I think. :D

[Fleshdancer]

13. ECON!!!!

How ya been sweetie?

[bicentennial_baby]

15. BUSY!

Hi Fleshdance!! :bounce:

Let's see...3 Econ classes, my Thesis, my Internship, my new "job", a private tutoring gig, and trying to integrate the new kitteh into the house, which is proving difficult.

No wonder my body only functions on 5-6 hours sleep. More than that, and I'm exhausted. :rofl:

:hi:

[Fleshdancer]

18. private tutoring?? Is Palin your student yet?

I lurked on your kitty thread and you sound like a great meow mom!

I just got back from Thailand for my 10 yr anniversary so I'm relaxed and rejuvinated enough to continue my part in pissing off the religious right. :D

Are any of your econ classes discussing the current mess?

[bicentennial_baby]

22. Unfortunately, no

I'm taking Nat'l Resource Econ, Health Econ, and Int'l Trade. I shoulda taken Money and Financial Institutions, damnit.

Good to see you!

I'm tutoring a student in Stats. I could do this shit in my sleep, I swear.

[jonnyblitz]

23. I've been to Thailand! my navy ship pulled into Pataya Beach

once and then I went to Bangkok. A sex show and buddhist temple on every street corner! :crazy: :P

[Fleshdancer]

33. LOL, yeah, that pretty much sums it up

We didn't go to a sex show (why do cab drivers assume a western couple would be interested in the ping pong show anyway??) but we did manage to find a bar on the street that our hotel was located on. My favorite memory of Bangkok will forever be drinking Thai beer from that bar while feeding an elephant and sitting next to what I can only assume to be a local pre-op transsexual hooker. My only regret is that I didn't have a camera with me to record the sheer level of AWESOME! :D

[jonnyblitz]

20. yup, waaay to busy for PMs and visits.

:o

[bicentennial_baby]

24. PM me, bitch!!

Noooooow!

I'm cranky. x(

:P

:hi:

Really, PM me. I want you to visit. How about the weekend after this one? :hi:

[KitchenWitch]

14. Didn't MadAsHellNewYorker put himself on the nuke ignore too

and had to email Skinner to fix it?

[Fleshdancer]

19. ROFLMAO!

really?? :rofl:

That's classic!

[KitchenWitch]

26. I think it was MAHNY, but I know SOMEONE did that.

:rofl:

[Critters2]

16. Oh, yeah!! I remember that. Damn near everyone was on his list.

Damn! Those were the days!

[mainegreen]

17. Someone had a monster list, that was for sure.

I remember thinking 'damn, they must think DU is a slow and quiet little forum'.

:rofl:

[JVS]

21. That was Nuke ignore 1.2 feature.

People complained that they were being silenced on issues they cared about and they demanded that people be able to see that such and such OP asshole was blocking their Righteous Invasion of Truth, so to speak

[ghostsofgiants]

27. Yeah, that was the biggest hubbub I recall.

[uppityperson]

28. They did that at the end before stopping the function.

It was funny, a few really long ignore lists.

[Critters2]

4. Oh, yeah. That brings back memories.

Good times!

[JVS]

29. I was the first to abuse it by blocking jpgray and then starting an appreciation thread in his honor

This was before your block list became visible, so I started commenting that it would be rude for him not to acknowledge the thread and mysteriously he never showed up.

[Critters2]

30. If we abuse this system, maybe it'll go away too!! nt

[JVS]

31. That right there is the slogan of the bad citizen!

:rofl:

[YDogg]

11. elimination of the adult forum?

:shrug:

[woo me with science]

12. Next proposed system: forced neutering for OP of low-rated posts.

That would discourage flamebait.

[rug]

25. It was the one that transmitted an electric jolt to the space bars of posters you don't like.

[Midlodemocrat]

32. I loved that system. It actually reduced my blood pressure.
