            I am a huge animal lover. I love them more than people. But bumping the thread and starting new threads only leads to more interest.

            I support the cause, but like you, I saw the thread but I decided against bumping it or starting a new one.

            I believe the guy that posted it is Nofx. He has been posting about me and Weg for sometime now. I ignore him.

              That doesen't work here with all the bumping of old threads. If this is in reference to the cat thread, the thread needed to be gone

                Its called attention whoring.

                Aint nothing new. Nothing but nobody scum bag's really post around here or anywhere these days...

                Quite simply I am sick of these fucking retards all over the place, I only look for people that actually do something in the biz and then I decide to maybe post.

                It's my new policy, saves me alot of time and helps me stay dis interested in the desperate trolling fucks at every corner on the boards waiting to jump anyone that says anything about anything.

                  Yeah -- well I stumbled into it like alot of others did as well... I'm not an animal lover, and I don't have any pets (nor want any... hey I know my limitations) but animal cruelty is just sad - and even worse to joke about. Once it became clear that the thread wasn't about to disappear - things got out of control quickly....

                  I mean i'm all for free speech -- but like some others have said before, when your tricked into viewing something you would NOT want to view in the first place, thats just wrong on so many levels...

                    i think its pretty clear that gfy wouldn't support those kinds of posts, judging from their history. it was just a matter of how long before it gets in front of the right persons eyes, and you have to consider that the crew is just winding down from throwing the best party ive ever been to...from experience, after the team pulls together to throw a show and give it all they have, they crash out for the next few days.

                    great seeing you there cory

                        No one is arguing the thread needed to be gone. But I do think with a little extra effort by the people who post here, it could be better. People only make a scene because they know a crowd will gather.

                        Thread needed to be gone, but the amount of attention garnered by him could have been substantially less. Just my opinion.

                            The bold is part of the problem. This is a private board, I don't see where freedom of speech is relevant. I think a lot of people feel entitled, hence, a lot of nonsensical items make their way on the board.

                            Not aimed at you, just giving a general opinion on that one statement.

                                      I concede to this, but like any company that is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week, there has to be a crew to man the ship while the rest party. Sucks to be the guy working that night, but that's just how it goes.

                                      That's the way it's been, that's the way it should be. Even when I managed Taco Bell, the way we worked out Holiday Parties, is that Store A would cover for Store B while they had their party, and vice versa. No store was shut down for the party, or left open unmanned.

                                            That's the way it's been, that's the way it should be. Even when I managed Taco Bell, the way we worked out Holiday Parties, is that Store A would cover for Store B while they had their party, and vice versa. No store was shut down for the party, or left open unmanned.
                                            in a perfect world, things work perfectly. maybe it hasnt been an issue until now, and now, they will put a control in to prevent it from happening again. maybe they have mods that werent on gfy cause they were sick, or went on vacation, or whatever the stars aligned and this one time, there were no mods available for 24 hours

                                            this isnt taco bell, a message board is largely self-managing, at least in my opinion the best ones.

                                            lensman and eric have a hands-off approach and im sure there is a directive to not touch anything unless its approved by a select few people

                                              Sometime one has to get involved, if one wears pants and not a pussy...err..I meant "dead cat"
                                              If I saw him harming the cat, I would stop him. If no one responded to the threads, I believe they would stop. Now he will just re-sign up, as he did last time, and do this routine all over again.

                                              I never liked the guy so I never gave him my time.

                                                I have made the mistake of responding to idiocy before. We all do that, I am not righteous by any means.

                                                Just so you know, that guy has been riding me for sometime and I have responded to him from time to time....

They just let things get cluster fucked because they seem to want to cater to the lowest common denominator in order to make a buck.

                                                  There's no reason to anymore. They built up a huge following by letting Boneprone go crazy back in the day with fake drama threads. Time to pull in the reigns just a bit. No need for such objectionable material needing to be posted.

                                                  And yeah I know this isn't Taco Bell, my Taco Bell was ran professionally. Taco Bell was just a reference to many businesses who know how to staff for their projects.

                                                  This board has ALWAYS been like this. If a mod was needed, it would take way too long to find one.

                                                  However, if your sig is too big, bam they're right there to annihilate it.

                                                    The title of this site is go fuck yourself...their mission statement however is not.

                                                    Nowhere does the title of this site implies..anything goes.

                                                    If so, then there would be other types of objectionable material posted here.

                                                    I wonder what Playboy would think if big media outlets got hold of the information that a message board that they own, routinely has such vile and disgusting images posted as humor on it.

                                                      so your saying that the decision makers (eric/lensman/ice) knew about the cat thread and let it go on for extra views/traffic?

                                                      sure, it takes too long to find a mod when your refreshing a fucking thread 20 times a minute.

                                                      in the big picture its not a big deal. some moron posted pics of a cat getting killed, the mods deleted it when they were informed about it, off regular business hours, on a sunday afternoon. taken care of. no revenue lost, pictures gone, nothing but lingering drama
