Okay, so seriously... What's up with the wankers thread? One minute it's archived, and another minute it isn't. Could you at least tell us what is going on with it?


Personally, I think it should be permanently archived. We have archived threads like this and this, and for god sakes, this but for some reason or another we don't archive the wanker thread? It just doesn't add up. 661 posts of pure spam in that short of a time frame deserves an archive I think. Yeah, I know some of you think it's stupid, but there are quite a few people here who would like to see it archived. How is it different from any of the other spam threads that you HAVE archived? (aside from it's absurd length) Somebody obviously thought it was okay to archive those threads. So what makes thier opinion valid, and not ours?

Regardless of what happens with the thread, can you at least explain why it is repeatedly getting archived and then deleted? And could you also tell us if it will end up being archived permanently, and if not, why?

Thanks.

<Kishi> Yes hello what.
<RSL>
<RSL> you are ruining my credibility here!
<Kishi> I'm upholding it!
<RSL> No one will ever take me seriously ever again.
<RSL> Oh wait, I wasn't taken seriously before. Nevermind!
<Kishi> You said "Grr this is uncalled for." So I put it in the garbage forum. That is consistency!
<RSL> But.. but
<RSL> dammit.
<Kishi> Yeah.
<RSL> Yeah.
<RSL> I guess you are right.

660 posts in an hour does not mean that it deserves to be archived. Be happy that we're having a llittle fun with it as well instead of handing out warnings.

I'll archive my grandmother before I archive that.

It was the worst spam since... MAPS.

and a good thing too! Because MAPS was undetected for a long time, and Del Murder didn't even close it. It was the last thread I closed too as a Cid's Knight.

And one thing, certain spam threads are archived, and some are not. Do you see MAPS in the archive? No, because it doesn't deserve to be archived. Does wankers need to be archived either? I believe it doesn't. It was at one point, but it was briefly moved out, and I believe it should stay out. A good way for a spam thread to be even considered getting archived is when the staff takes some involvement. Since wankers didn't have many staff involvement, it doesn't get archived.

I don't care if it "deserves" to be archived. It doesn't. Why? Because it is 100% pure nonsense that went overboard within a few hours.

And it's not the kind of spam I would say is deemed to be archived.

I don't care whether it's archived or not as long as EoFF never gets the pimp smiley.

SMF said, her brother used it while it was in the bathroom. It's in the top 150 posts in the thread.

I don't think a lack of staff involvement should prevent a thread from being archived.
