If somebody is chatting about random things then that would be silly. But if you're conversing in the thread about the actual subject matter, what's wrong with that? What should we do instead, all just make posts an respond to nobody elses? Threads would be vastly improved by more interaction. When you have a conversation with somebody, do you say your piece, they say theirs, an neither of you respond to what the other person has said? If you do, that's a terrible way to construct a "conversation", an you should be ashamed of yourselves. On the subject of him calling cl_out a retard. Cl_out called him a retard first, so I don't see what was wrong with him saying he was a retard back. The insulting things people of this forum may say to a regular member, they wouldn't say to a staff member, so I think Luke should be commended for treating both equally. An I think it would be pitiful if the staff were to ban him for saying something to them that they wouldn't ban him for for saying to another member. Banning somebody for not being a staff butt kisser, would be pathetic. Although there are good things the staff do of course, we hear enough about that, so I'll stick to pointing out what they do that's bad. In eoeo mainly, they can't be bothered reading through all the posts, they'll skim through the posts, take something entirely out of context, an ban them for it. An since they don't read all the posts, say five people might have said something considered insulting, they'll ban one of them. That's shoddy work. They should either ban all, or none at all.

I actually agree with everything you say there.

But I still think if you want to chat with someone, do it in a PM as you can say alot more and you dont have to share personal things with people you don't know. The only wierd thing I don't understand about this Forum is the need to lock threads that are considered to be 'too old'. Sometimes these threads are only about a month old. Don't really understand that. Whats the point in creating a new thread on a topic thats already got a thread dedicated to it? Why not just continue the discussion from a few weeks or months back, like they do on other Forums?

Anyway, if you are gone lukejake, then be sure to look me up on my Edge forum. I think the Moderators have quit a long time ago... you can pretty much say anything you want there, but be sure to talk about video games too.
