whatever happened to freedom of speech? huh mr. slyde?
i seriously dont think its very fair to lock or delete a thread if its interesting. just because it doesnt mean anything to you doesnt mean it doesnt mean anything to the next person.
YES?
<hmmm, i wonder if im going to get banned for this.> |

Very few threads get locked. Virtually none get deleted.
Threads get locked when people get out of control or if it's spam or if it's a thread about how to crack into something - which would get these forums into trouble.
And no, you won't get banned. |

1) I don't have the priviledge to lock or delete threads here.
2) You asked for it to be locked. I honored your request. |

From the "Off The Wall Guidelines"

Seemed like a fairly harmless thread to me.

Give it up.
Dawnmarie, you accused others of having no lives for writing nonsensical threads, and being too caught up in one's forums. That's what is called a "projection."

| considering the forums are being run by a private non-profit foundation for the benefit of their users and is thus not subject to any First Amendment rights (assuming this server is located inside the boundaries of the US) ... well, essentially its pretty much a miracle that the whole Off The Wall forum even exists ... |

interesting/confusing thread. Can we have a link to the thread that is being talked about so that the people who do not know which thread is being talked about can have fun too?
