It isn't a public forum, it's Phade's forum. He owns and rules it, and just lets us play on it out of the kindness of his heart. Check the long locked thread about the OT deletion, that's the reason people are now worried about 'useless' posts in General Anime.ryuu_hime13 wrote:You know, as stupid as some people insist these threads are (ahem...whatever) this IS a public board and no one has a right to decide what type of threads are pointless or not.
OT was deleted because it wasn't useful or intelligent enough, and people abused the privilege Phade granted them by posting 'bad/ignorant/useless' things in it. By that rule, General Anime will quickly follow unless people stop posting here.
Doesn't mean I'll stop posting in these threads - they are interested and fun for a few minutes. But they *will* be deleted if Phade wants them gone, and there's nothing anyone can do about that because it is his site, his rules. There's nothing 'public' or free about this place. ^_^;;
Sorry, I actually wasn't sure who owned the board. What I meant was, I just don't like when people who DON'T own the board start bashing newbies and stuff like that. Sure, sometimes they deserve it, but for some reason it's always gotten on my nerves.
