Mod Q&A Thread II

MF, WHB mourns the 'Little Britain' thread. It was lost in the Great Reorganization.

(I'm taking submissions for alternatives to the 'Great Reorganization'. ;))
 
Something like that. It wasn't all bad, you know. Just accidents happen. :(

I still remember the day I lost my marbles. (I do mean that literally.) I had a lovely collection, all gone. They got vacuumed up along with the broken glass bottle they had been in. It was sad.
 
Wow! That is one incredible vacuum! If I tried to suck up anything denser than a hairball with mine it would just choke and die...

That sounds like my lawn mower.

I watched an RSPCA person vacuum a hamster out of some plumbing once...

So RSPCA stands for Royal Society for the Promotion of Cruelty to Animals?

Seriously. I laughed so hard . . . but I didn't roll on the floor, actually.

But yes, it's a good vacuum, not like these flimsy new ones. :D Though I wish it had stayed away from my marbles. :(

And Olórin . . . that's one weird lawn mower. You do realize that they don't normally suck anything up? And btw, that would be prevention. ;) Though I don't know. Usually when we vacuum up small creatures it's in order to kill them. But it may work differently with hamsters than with wasps and bees and spiders.
 
My lawn mower has problems. Would you like to be the one to give it counseling?

I must warn you, however, that it has a very bad temper.

And about the hamster... it's quite possible that the vacuum was somehow specially modified so as not to hurt the hamster, hence its use by the RSPCA. :rolleyes:

........................ you lawn mower your hair?!!?

And Pratterson... I don't think that was the RSPCA I'm afraid. Though I did watch a great program today that had sheep having their throats ripped out, and then they started doing it to people! :D

That would be soo cool. First Mad Cow Disease, then the Bird Flu, Then the Swine Flu, Now sheep ripping peoples throats out. Its the Farmageddon. Everybody run for your lives.

*turns and runs into a wall*
 
Rofl. Just . . . rofl. I have nothing else to say.




*comes eye-to-eye with a sheep*

Nevermind. I have something else to say:

AAAHHHHHHHHH! :eek:
 
But if they killed them, does that mean sheep are above the forum rules. If so, i'll volunteer!

No the beard, but he doesn't often mention it, it's a bit embarassing, especially since it's pink.

Hey Monkeh - havent seen you in a LONG while! Good to see you. No it was a sabre-toothed cat skull that was being used as a murder weapon in a mystery drama set in rural Oxfordshire. I bet you're all wishing you could watch quality British television now yeh?

Though it wouldn't surprise me if sheep tried to take over the world. I mean they are demons - have you seen their eyes? Nothing natural has eyes like that!!! And the goats are their sidekicks. Observe:

Coincedence... I think not!
 
I think that the mods decided that the RPG scene was getting somewhat out of control. There were so many active RPG's in the forum that it was getting impossible to moderate them. Furthermore, as this is a forum about Narnia, I believe they decided the RPG section should be, well, more Narnia-themed.

To quote EveningStar on the matter:

ES said:
Without going into the reasons, let's just say that the whole experience of roleplay is about to get a lot better around here. There are certain services and guarantees we could not offer 68 threads. It's also easier to get mods to actively participate both in and out of character when the subjects aren't enchanted dogs in outer space or the revenge of the psoriasis ward.

Look at Narniaweb and see how they handle roleplay. They've known for years that threads on "The Vegetables' big adventure" die quickly and never accrue a critical mass of participants. We aren't the first to do this, we're the LAST. We...even we...had to see the handwriting (or pawprints) on the wall.
