I made a thread about a website (filelodge) being down the other day

i made it in the lounge to skip all the bs chit chat responses and get straight to the point

today i have a PM from OmarBadu saying that not only has it been moved, but moved to the trash bin, and without any explanation

im wondering why it cant be in the lounge first of all

and secondly why it couldnt simply be moved to another more appropriate section of the website, if in fact the lounge is "the wrong place to put it"

or is it just because omar doesnt like me

the pm you received is automated, and you'll get one anytime a thread is moved, deleted or locked.

12/31/2006 3:47:58 PM

that's not the point. the point is that his thread was trashed for no good reason. (according to him)

12/31/2006 5:41:27 PM

It's a valid question. One that will most likely go unanswered (again).

My theory is that Omar is secretly trying to get everyone to stop posting in the Lounge altogether. It's really the only thing that makes sense.

best part about the whole thread deleting process is when you question the deletion by replying to the automatic response...no matter how valid and mature your question is you get bitched at.

12/31/2006 9:07:10 PM

did you try p/m'ing the mod of the section?

12/31/2006 10:07:07 PM

each week, tww should just assign random ass mods for the week, much like easter eggs are assigned

i'd bet a dollar the moderation on the site would not get worse

in fact, in most sections it would get better

^^It wouldnt matter if he HAD pmed the mod, he'd just get bitched at....

you never asked me via PM - but the reason i deleted it was because i assumed filelodge was the same as filelist and other torrent sites - i just did a google search on it and it looks to be a hosting service that is temporarily down

Quote :

"IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM FILELODGE: We have had to temporarily set the maximum file upload size to 2MB. Our storage has been rapidly running out, and we are waiting for our suppliers to deliver a new storage unit. This is scheduled to be arriving sometime next week between 19th - 23rd December. The 50MB limit will be back as soon as the extra storage arrives. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this, as we know a lot of you use File Lodge for music/video hosting, and your files are normally larger than 2MB. I hope you can bear with us for a few days. We will be making hardware upgrade orders much earlier in the future to prevent anything like this happening again. "

that is the reason - i'm not sure why i was able to find that so easily but yet you decided to just whine about it

tech talk

1/2/2007 10:45:35 AM

nah

the lounge is for discussing everything

as long as its serious

1/2/2007 5:33:55 PM

had i actually known what filelodge was for i would have either moved it to tech talk or locked it after a 10 second google search

1/2/2007 5:48:20 PM

well way to be on top of things

finding something on google is not a valid reason for locking a thread about it

are you retarded

1/2/2007 7:36:09 PM

i agree that it's not a great reason for locking a thread - it's a great reason for not creating the thread in the first place

1/2/2007 7:39:04 PM

this just in

no more threads about anything that can be found on google

asking questions is no longer allowed on tww

at least you can admit you were wrong though

Why not let it? There are a few ppl in this world who dig being able to answer a question faster than the next guy... most convenient.
