You were given numerous requests to explain who the hell Br_kers was, what G_ is, and what the hell you were pitting. You didn’t do that.

Moved to ATMB.  
**Adhay** , you’ve been a member for over a year. You know ATMB is where this kind of thread belongs.

As to why it was closed, I leave that answer to the Pit moderators.

I didn’t close the thread, but it looks to me like you deliberately posted a bunch of gibberish so you could string people along. I think 110 posts of that is plenty.

I would put it earlier than that…probably earlier than birth even…we may have to trace DNA back pretty far to pinpoint the exact fork in the road that resulted in that thread.

Friendly reminder from mod: That borders on personal insult, which is not permitted in this forum. I know, it’s a joke, but that’s an explanation, not an excuse.

There’s nothing to check. **Miller** closed the thread. I’m not one of the Pit mods, so I usually don’t moderate there unless I’m asked.

Yes, I do.

I’m thinking M\*s would do as well.

**tomndebb**?

Be fair, just one more time, and move this back to GQ.

Call me a populist if you like.

Your original thread was in the BBQ Pit. It was never in any other forum. This thread has also never been in any other forum.

That’s not the word that is coming to mind at the moment. 😃

Actually, this thread was originally in GQ, until **G. Wombat** moved it.

I’m going to move this back to GQ at the request of the OP.

And then close it, for being in the wrong forum.
