Are you a waste of bandwidth


What's a bandwidth?!:|

Why lock it ? It isn't promoting useless posts.
Not asking for senseless replies....
I tried to cancel my subscription here last night , but since i didn't keep the original letter/password for the billing, i think i need to cancel my credit card.
Or I could keep the subscription and try to be like everyone else on here and disguise useless shit as important info.

Well i think we need a better definition of " waste of bandwidth"

Or make it possible to cancel a subscrption to a once thought of worthy cause.



As you can tell I didn't subscribe.

I've sat and watched this site grow and grow and grow. I don't always agree with some of the policies HH has in place but I don't complain. I'm not paying for it. On the other hand, if you're paying a subscription and you ARE paying for it's use then you should be able to "waste a bit of bandwidth"

Case in point.. we've had a thread that turned to crap and drifted wayyyy off topic that's still not moved, nor was it locked.. It was censored and moderated from within. I thought it should have been moved from the Bonfire along time ago.. It's since way off topic talking about sodomy, penises etc.. even the ethics of such n such.. That's not what the topic was about.

Lemme get back on thread here. cocheese if you're having a problem with a thread lock or getting smacked on the back of the hand. Chill, we've all had threads locked, moved and some have even had temp bans placed againt them. This is a worthy cause to donate to. It's a major force in the skydiving community, you and the other 75k (not sure on actual count) registered members have made this the largest DZ in the world. It gives voice to many people across our sport that could never get to the world audience. Now their wisdom and experience is being given to thousands of new skydivers and veterans of our sport.

The Bonfire is where we kick up the dust and cause a stir. HH and his staff of voulunteers try to be as fair as possible when moderating posts in the Bonfire. I commend them most of the time, then in other instances I condem them.

*tosses cocheese a brew and stokes the Bonfire.. tell me a story...*

Well once upon a time there was this little slappie.

He decided to strap a Bunji Cord to himself and try to be a formula one race car.
Wnen the green light came on - he went zoom - but only for a second or two - for after the zooom - came a great big BOOM, and slappies collarbone was no more.

The end.

I have plenty of fun here still.. Granted I can't get away with some of the things I used to. But this place is still fun. I think the point being was you had a thread for "post whoring" and it was locked. Hey've I've started many threads about being a "Thread Killah" they get locked.. If you start a bandwidth burning thread be prepared to have it slammed closed. Now if you have something funny to say and the thread gets hijacked and drifts but stays on a basic topic (boobies, clits, sex, oral gratification etc..) then they have no real reason to lock it.

The one in question was topicless and served no purpose except to promote users to repeatedly view the thread and make an inane post.

Bandwidth = thread views, the more views a thread receives the more bandwidth it costs the sites owner.

Bandwidth = money

I say rise up and smash the greenies!! Throw empty beer bottle into the dungeon!! But whatever you do DO NOT LET BILL TOUCH THE RED BUTTON! Then we're all in a major shit storm without a litehouse.

I wouldn't want to be a moderator.
I want to be the
Postinator. one who invites thought provoking posts with a bit of humor and lot of bullshit.



Then be that.. don't whine because you had a thread locked. Give us something funny to comment about. cocheese you've had me in stitches sitting here reading some of the shit you've posted and the replies you've gotten from people.

Guess it goes back to one thing, make a point in your post.. if say it drifts to another topic.. awesome, if it because a meaningless topicless thread and is generating alot of views, the moderators will pay more attention and probably lock it.

Shit happens..

It seems like you do - they are just in a big wadded knot right now.

Yes, cancel your premier membership and join my cause instead. I'll gladly take your $$ every month. Just tell me what you want in return. :D

If you feel so wronged by one little thread lock, I'm sure HH can help you cancel your membership if you send him a pm.
