WP is becoming boring and pointless due to

* unnecessary mod interference.

* there being an alleged clique *everytime* the same 4 or 5 people who enjoy each others company and have the same general sense of humour *dare* to post more than once in any given thread. Lets try the alternate and set a quota for how many posts these people can make and see what happens to the forums.

<insert picture of tumbleweeds here>

in general, a note about mod whingers, they are starting to get on everyones tits i think:

how about the few who whine (theres at least one serial mod whiner whos well known) try engaging more or let the thread know they are having difficulty for whatever reason and give people in the thread a chance at helping them engage better, instead of whining to a f***ing mod like a baby.

It's very simple. Adult Autism isn't a playground where you can do anything you want. Inane banter goes in Random. Talking about your balls goes in adult.

Why don't you guys all make your own forum like MCalavera and Boo did, then you could post whatever you want wherever you want, and you can moderate yourselves however you choose.

Not that I want to push anyone out, it just seems like an obvious and good move to me.

Chipmunks on average kill about three people a year. Each person will swallow about 45 pounds of bugs during his or her lifetime. The last time the Earth's magnetic poles flipped, which we are long overdue, 34% of all species went extinct.

From Wikipedia

Hot Cross Buns:

A hot cross bun, or cross-bun, is a sweet, yeast-leavened, spiced bun made with currants or raisins, often with candied citrus fruits, marked with a cross on the top. The cross can be made in a variety of ways including: of pastry; flour and water mixture; rice paper; icing; two intersecting cuts. They are traditionally eaten at Easter but in the UK they are now sold all year round.

In many historically Christian countries, buns are traditionally eaten hot or toasted on Good Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of The Crucifixion. They are believed by some to pre-date Christianity, although the first recorded use of the term "hot cross bun" was not until 1733; it is believed that buns marked with a cross were eaten by Saxons in honour of the goddess Eostre (the cross is thought to have symbolised the four quarters of the moon); "Eostre" is probably the origin of the name "Easter". Others claim that the Greeks marked cakes with a cross, much earlier.

According to cookery writer Elizabeth David, Protestant English monarchs saw the buns as a dangerous hold-over of Catholic belief in England, being baked from the dough used in making the communion wafer. Protestant England attempted to ban the sale of the buns by bakers but they were too popular, and instead Elizabeth I passed a law permitting bakeries to sell them, but only at Easter and Christmas

And they taste very nice.

p.s. I don't know who he is either. Although I've only been here five minutes.

I'm happy that I went back to being myself in 2009. Why can't people be happy for me?

This thread is fail. The facts posted may be pointless, but they aren't boring.

No, please can we keep it all in Adult Discussion, Moog? I don't want all the inane banter to migrate to other sections.

I don't care about the alleged cliques of if they exist, but people's topics being derailed thanks to several people shouldn't be tolerated. I think I'd be downright pissed if I made a topic in Adult and came back the next day to find it filled with 10 pages of useless garbage.
