At 3500+ pages and nearly 180k posts, the thread is taking a long time to load, when you post it takes a few seconds to catch up and actually post, and more often than not I get an OH SHIT! INTERNAL SERVER ERROR when attempting to post.

Let's lock it, tuck it away, and let someone create a new one, eh?

I didn't know page load times were dependent on thread length. I assumed it had more to do with the content on a particular page, and if replyinh, the content on the first page...

i think it's better than most forums... a different forum i go to locks the thread if it gets to 1000 posts and you have to start a new one.

see, i didn't think that page load times had anything to do with it either, but consider that is the ONLY thread i have problems with lately, i'm just assuming that length has something to do with it.

b/c im not going to answer a PM to you on why i felt the need to move a thread that had run its course im a douche?

you said yourself you have been here for 5 years so you should know that this thread provides no feed back to this site. so instead of trashing this thread...i moved it to chit chat so you could continue to have this discussion. but im a douche.

tell you what... next time someone posts your special pictures do you think calling me a douche is going to make me want to remove them?

Is there any wolfwebber than can do anything but suck you off that you don't immediately have a problem with?

It's like you haven't been laid or smoked out in years with how much apparent hate and rage you have building up.

I'd say not replying to a PM when you're a moderator is in fact being a douche. Getting bent the hell out of shape about someone mentioning that upgrades that to being an asshole, too. And given your recent post history, you're probably a taint too, you know, seeing as how you seem to be feeling left out of life or something.

tell you what...i only asked you to remove them that one time because we were already chatting via PM and you were being nice so i thought i'd ask. that is the only time i've asked. i would never just ask out of the blue for you to remove them. they've been posted alot, and that's the only time i ever asked, mainly because it was "current" drama (having been posted the previous night) and i thought i'd see if you felt like being nice. and i was appreciative, and still am appreciative for what you did. but don't worry, i won't ask again.

i dont even know what this means but it made me giggle

i didnt know that my post required such an explanation on why i removed your pictures. i removed those pictures b/c you asked me to not b/c i was feeling "nice".

i love it how you people keep saying that i get bent out of shape doing this and that when all i do is smile while i type on my end of the tube.

You don't know what it means when you get bent out of shape for someone mentioning that you were a douche about something? Is it that hard? Let's slow down since you must not have had your cup of joe yet

1) Someone asks a moderator for help or whatever via PM
2) You don't reply
3) Someone calls you a douche for it because their inquiry was obviously geniune
4) You blow up upon hearing this sentiment because you're obviously infallible, what with your thankless job and all
5) You get upgraded to asshole on top of douche

It's simple as hell.

Before you click reply and offer up more tripe, take a second to think, "do I really know what the hell is going on here"

And the answer should be self evident

He gets bent out of shape every time someone questions him. He can claim he doesn't all he wants, but when he does it as consistently as he does, and goes as far as to get an account on another forum after he specifically said he never would so that he can answer his critics, then I think it is pretty clear that he gets bent out of shape.

Hmm..forgot about those. Perhaps soon. I'm usually good about not ever posting stuff like that no matter how bad they fuck me over..but in this case I might make an exception and just chop her head out or something

Well, how else can you really show "bent out of shape" on a message board?

it's a good outlet for being passive aggressive toward friends/acquaintances you may know who also browse this site. same for updating your facebook status.

Am I the only one who remembers when several really long threads like that (the original what are you thinking thread--and probably v2 of it--the "what song are you listening to" thread, etc) got deleted back about four-ish years ago? We were told it was ok to make new threads on the same topic, but that they were deleting them because there were load time issues or cacheing issues or something else semi-technical that I don't recall.

So this seems like a legitimate suggestion to me. I don't have problems with loading it, and it sounds like not many others do, but based on past history, it's not an unprecedented issue.

^that's all i was saying. lock this one (don't delete it, that way the weirdos can get drunk and go back and read old posts) and someone can just create a new one. there's been 2 or 3 of these "what are you thinking" threads already, i don't see why this one has to grow to an astronomical size when you can just lock it and start up another one.

ok i'm done. i made my suggestion. blah.
