In this thread , you were right in stating that this thread didn’t meet the guidelines for a BBQ Pit thread.
BUT… couldn’t you have simply moved the thread to MPSIMS, and allowed the fun to continue? sperfur’s limerick writing skills were a lot of fun to read, the thread should have continued to prosper in another forum.
(Yes, it’s a semi-lame complaint, but I just wanted to say that
is a rather cold splash of water on innocent fun.)
I wrote a limerick for Lynn last night but didn’t want to open a pit rant about her closing the thread (since my whole OP would have been the limerick below, and I didn’t want to piss her off).
I figured the reason she didn’t move the thread was because the point of the whole thing was we were in the pit (even though we were being nice and it really was MPSIMS) and we were pretending to pit people. So I wasn’t too upset about her closing it - although we were having fun.
Lynn Bodoni, you closed our thread
Now its all cold and dead
I would say you suck
And you can go screw a duck
But that might just give you a big head
Thank you for the compliments, Thunder. If you want to open a MPSIMS thread to do some more limericks, I’ll join you. Just put a link in this thread so I can find it.
It is much simpler and less taxing on the server to close a thread than to move one. It’s closed. Open a new on in the correct forum if you so desire. Whining about it does you no favors.
Oh please. Closing a thread and allowing a new one to be opened elsewhere to continue the topic is no less taxing on the server than moving it. And, FWIW, it didn’t seem like anyone was whining about it. If merely stating an opinion is whining, then that’s all all people on this board do all day.
