I wasn't talking to you because you never have anything funny, even mildly trollish, entertaining, or relevant to say which is why you stay in OTD.

Or are you just having dem feels because I pointed out that OTD is the same shit?

Yeah, there were clear disclaimers saying that there may be offensive posts in the forum, if you don't want to see them then don't go in the forum.

As soon as I get word from the staff that it's closed for good I'm making my UC forum public.

They should've just banned seven over-sensitive members and it'd be fine.

Most of my biggest and best +1's were there for calling people out on their bullshit, and now they're not held accountable for any of their shit because it's all gone.

Maybe they should just make the romp a user moderated thread if it's too hard for the staff to moderate. Getting rid of it to protect specific people is a lame idea that will only increase abuse and resentment for those people, and I'm assuming the staff is smart enough to realize that.

Pretty much. It's sudden removal should have nothing to do with a 48 page thread roasting a specific member that came into the thread admitting a sudden intent to experience suicide :rolleyes:

i think a lot had to do with potential loss of life. if i were ythan, Viva's remark in the thread about here would make me pretty uneasy about it and i'd be considering taking it down... just to keep it from making shroomery's name find its way into the media once again like what happened with ripper.

at the same time, i too think the romp was a place where people could vent frustrations and say, 'unbridled creativity'

i'm sure the staff are discussing what to do about it right now as there hasn't been much chatter on it.


also, lol emf you sure just love being a thorn in everyone's side. I'm surprised in some ways about your position given your posting nature...

Yeah because she never implied the same thing anywhere else. :rolleyes:

If that has anything to do with it that's bullshit. There's no reason a forum should be to blame for behaviour someone has a history of displaying.

I made a new User-Created Romper Room.

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/postlist.php/Board/270

Don't use TNK's, he's not even a romper and was part of the problem.
