19 out of 263 threads in the new General are locked. Most of those were during the forum's first few days and were typical spam threads. I fail to see your 'mod oppression.'

And it isn't a business here. There aren't competitors. If someone made a thread about a breaking news story before I could, I wouldn't make another one in the name of competition. It'd just be unnecessary clutter.


Dod you actually take the time to count those?

Yes. I was extremely bored. The total thread count is at the top of the page though. Didn't count every thread.

I didn't think drunk posting would be a valid defense so I went with that.

Seems reasonable. If that doesn't work, try religious persecution. ;)

One of these days Kat, we're gonna have to get you mirror shades, a police uniform, a badge, and a nightstick so you can look the part when you growl that. :p

In 6 years, I have never once read the rules. I absorbed them by osmosis. That and a little common sense is all you need.

This thread is still functioning? How quaint. Isn't it the law that the rants and ravings of the delusional disgruntled should be locked down as soon as they're spotted by the proper authorities, or would that be akin to strangling the very nature of this forum? Please enlighten us, dear moderators!

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I fully admit I have been nitpicking today, the overabundance of :!: and :?: is annoying. And when the topic is discussing and debating absolutely nothing... then comes the lockdown.
