It is possible to respond to multiple people in one post you know. <_<

Noway, really?! You smell.

more stuff

You smell too.

decent stuff

I pulled my contribs but didn't close my account, so fair play to the wild duck. If I may ask a favour, for those of you in contact with MrMallard, please wish him the best from me. Means fuck all, obviously, but if he was to second-guess himself, then here's another vote confirming he did the right thing by sticking to his principles.

Maybe dont even single post anymore. I think everyone has read enough of your manifestos.

Just stop. This is becoming really sad.

My replies arent unsolicited. Im engaged in discussion with several different people. If you dislike reading my comments you can block/ignore me, or simply choose not to engage with me.

I never understood the viewpoint of folks who use a discussion board, but then dont like it when their viewpoints are respectfully challenged. Thats kind of the point of using a discussion board.

To tell to stop posting because nobody agrees with you just doesnt make any sense to me. I feel people are more inclined to contribute to discussion if they have something of substance to add which is typically a different viewpoint. I know that at least for me, that if I 100% agree with someones take, then Im probably not going to respond, because Ill have nothing to add.

Its bad etiquette. It crosses a the streams and makes discussion confusing. Especially if you are quoting someone, because if they quote you back their quote wont contain the initial quote block, and itll look like the entire thing is a single incomprehensible reply.

Bad etiquette... where?

For someone so attuned to GameFAQ's culture such as yourself , you sure don't seem to know shit about what is etiquette in a regular conversation here. You got moderated for it and everyone has mentioned it as odd or over the top since you did it. Also using multiple quotes in a post is something you can see in nearly every damn topic. lmao my ass off

Not really. Bad etiquette is posting 7 posts in a row where most of them could have been condensed into 1 or 2 posts.

If you're hitting post limits, then yeah a second post is acceptable, but I don't think ANY of your posts came close to the limit.

Noted.

No, you're smelling Lan.

Lan probably smells too. Takes a lot of effort to keep you in check, poor old Lan has to deal with that. I'm now collecting my virtual 401k (is that what it is in the US?) as an ex-mod, to the precise value of 0.00 as mods are volunteers and always have been, and I expect always will be. The less said about community managers the better.

As always buddy, hope you're keeping well.

I am actually speechless at this post right now. Stero, lookthe traditional forum format isnt just dying, its dead.

I know this. I would kill off the forums as we currently know it, and transform it into a portion of a users social media feed.

I wrote a pretty long and detailed response on how Id go about it, but it was moderated.

Somaybe itll come up again in another topic. But trust me I know tradition message boards are dead. Its about taking the current content and repurposing them in a different format of consumption one more in line with modern social media.

Thanks, but no thanks.

Damn, Mallard is gone? Thats unfortunate.
