Reminder of Rule #10

[Murphie]

Wait, FFXI is getting cancelled?! Oh noes!

[eticket109]

It was canceled six months ago. You know how SE is with updates though. We won't see any effects of it for at least five years.

That would explain the lack of missions in Wings.

Bob Slydell: Milton Waddams.
Dom Portwood: Who's he?
Bob Porter: You know, squirrely looking guy, mumbles a lot.
Dom Portwood: Oh, yeah.
Bob Slydell: Yeah, we can't actually find a record of him being a current employee here.
Bob Porter: I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck.
Bob Slydell: So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.
Bill Lumbergh: Great.
Dom Portwood: So, uh, Milton has been let go?
Bob Slydell: Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.
Bob Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.

So FFXI is going to be closed down? < /cry >

Looking over the site rules, I'm struck by the blatant disregard for tradition and continuity in board rules. I'm speaking about:

The far bigger problem here is the use of a backronym.


DIE, GODDAMN BACKRONYMS!

My apologies for not knowing the entire situation before commenting. I have experienced both sides, and I felt I could offer a bit of insight or advice. Hopefully I did not belittle anyone's feelings or opinions by what I said.

I've done my share of the admin side too, though in my case it was a much larger and much nastier board. I would agree with what you said though for the most part. In most cases, the system works quite well. In this case though, the outlined procedures didn't work as intended and resulted in an NM Drama Torama spawning. It had long since been defeated and peace had spread back over the kingdom. This post brought the conflict back out into the light again and most of us just want it to go away.

Of course, most of us want Feba to go away, and that still hasn't happened, so we shouldn't be surprised.

[Murphie]

Exactly.

Oh, stop bitching. You could ignore me, if you really wanted.

[Murphie]

But then where would I get my <3 from?

[Feba]
