Thread closed - why?

Why was this thread closed without comment? Did someone complain or find it offensive?

There’s apparently a reference to another thread on the same topic, which was started around the same time as mine. However, the link is bad, and I can’t find the thread.

Because the original thread appeared to be a disguised advertisement, I went ahead and locked off the thread you started refering to it. I would have explained, but sometimes even us moderators have trouble accessing the SDMB. :frowning:

Out of idle curiosity I checked the thread and noticed that the banned poster MrVanity had 4 posts. Noticing that they had only posted once to that thread, I searched by username - a month ago or sooner and found no others. :confused: Were the other 3 simply deleted?

Those posts are probably in the super secret mod-only forum where all the spam goes. That’s also where they have the Mod-orgies.

It is NOT. We have super secret Modfests where we have the orgies. It all starts with strip air hockey, you see…

Uhhh … okay. It’s not my Web site, though; it’s something I saw while I was searching around. I thought “how moronic,” so I posted a link. Thought people did that all the time.

This is my Web site, a non-commercial SDMB-like portal for urban planners. It’s linked to the “WWW” button below. It’s not much different than UniBoard, Opal’s site, or other Doper operated Web sites. I only “advertise” it in “What is your Web site?”-type threads.

I think Czarcasm is pointing at MrVanity, not you, elmwood.

Exactly.

…strip air hockey? :smiley:

Is there another kind?

What’s the etiquette at a mod orgy? Can the new guy just watch? Does Little Ed ever come?

I still kick myself for not showing up at that one.

Yes, but rumor has it that it took the combined efforts of Gaudere, JillGat, TubaDiva, Lynn, and an unnamed goat. But then again, that was before those blue pills hit the market…

Strip air hockey? * Day-um.* I mean, have you ever been clipped by an air hockey puck? It hurts! My god, these people aren’t human!!

8 1/2 hours for a response? See if I ever play straight man again.

Which, from what I hear, were the parting words of Dr. Matrix at the Air Hockey soiree.

Happy, one-man comedy team

Moderator Orgies are kept top-secret as a matter of nationable security, under the Patriate Act, and by special executive order #45-22(b), which has been approved by every Precedent since Harrison’s second tern.

Lendervetter, the black helicopters will be tracking you shortly.

You’re kicking YOURSELF? Heck, I had retired early to my room, and I only heard about it the next day. I should have known better than to leave everyone while they were still awake.

On the other hand, C K Dexter Haven and TubaDiva had taken me out to my first dim sum restaurant earlier, so I had THAT new experience to savor.

The interrogation itself wasn’t very pleasant, but the buffet afterward was nice. Kudos.

Which leaves me to wonder if TVeblen was left out, or opted out voluntarily.

:eek:

TVeblen had not yet been assimil, uh, I mean hired.
