Last night I posted about AIM being wierd..it did NOT STATE in the title of the post that it was directed FOR one person..it was MEANT TO BE FOR ANYONE WHO HAPPENED TO BE ON AIM last night..I needed to know if AIM WAS locking up on anyone..just because I left OC a quick note because I saw him pop on to Aim does NOT mean the post was only for him. I really resent the fact that the GAM (and I'm sure I know WHICH gam it was) locked the post. In the meantime,I'm stuck with an AIM That locks up and I need to know if ANYONE (including OC's) IS DOING THE SAME. I won't be as childish as SOME people who sit on this websight and chatroom 24/7 who have no lives and need to feel the "power" by playing favorites etc...because I am simply more grown up than that..I just thought I'd share-that's all I have to say about that.

Sorry Obby, but it seemed to me very directed at OC. I understand the thread title wasn't but the actual post was. If it was due to some of the stupid G|A drama then I guess maybe you should e-mail that person. I'm with you on the whole G|Aers choosing favorites. I think it is stupid. But you shouldn't start directing comments such as telling people they have no lives and then say youre more grown up than that because you just showed that you're not, directing this post at a certain person eventhough you didn't mention their name.

yes UT you are probably right, but then again so am I..don't you see-it happens all the time..if your not a chatroom buddy, or you piss off one of the higher ups then you get LOCKED or canned..-I'm just so sick of this crap going on all the time....so sorry that I didnt EXPAND my post about AIM last night to specifically include EVERY single nick that is on this forum but you see I was trying to get MY AIM TO WORK and couldnt get it to stop FREEZING UP..thats why the title was AIM IS WIERD..OC just happened to be the one person I KNEW was on MY aim at the time. I'll make sure next time I include EVERY SINGLE NAME, but you know what...it IS true what I said and everyone knows it, and if I was going to be as childish as SOME, I would bitch continuously about posts being locked and private conversations being held..but I don't nor will I in the future.

Well I'm reading it. :) and I guess that's all that should matter-but we better not converse here-or it might get locked. Feel free to IM me.

Oh btw cpu..since you are the author of this post (look down) I just want to point out that it was INDEED written for one person in particular-and it was NOT LOCKED HEREBY proving my point that NOT ALL posts that are very clearly directed for/at one person are locked.

Now if anyone thinks that I am wrong on this please email me directly or msg me on AIM (ginco11) and as long as it doesnt lock on me I may even reply.

Yes thanks Apex..but are you saying that the post for welfare (see link above)was not for her directly? I mean come on, that was RIGHT in the title-where as mine was not. My original thought was that ANYONE who was on AIM at the time reply. I mean if rules are rules, then maybe they should be for EVERYONE and yes mistakes are made-but some more conveniently overlooked than others. Just my feelings on the subject. Maybe this should have gone in the Suckage area-feel free to move it if you like.

Looking at that thread, I agree with you, it should definitely be locked as well.

I try to do as little (none ideally) of the mod'ing as possible in the forums, but I'm going to go ahead and lock that one up too.

Oh don't go and lock it-just you agreeing with me is fine. And thanks for the quick response. Wait-shouldn't we be having this conversation in private? ARRRRRRRGH it never ends..*rips out hair*.. actually I would like to see her pictures as well..maybe you can change the name of the post for welfare and make things right.
