None of the threats were serious and regardless, last time I checked people in this thread had no power anyway. While it is your decision to do it or not, I found what you had written already entertaining.

Why would you stop Ghengis? It's funny and lighthearted, I fail to imagine anybody taking it seriously. Even NYE was just making fun of the fact that DanQ will rule over each and every deity of the Pantheon anyway, except Markos.

I think it was one of the best things I've seen around here and really hope you continue.

Because of the quest for a better title, there is a lot, A LOT, of senseless and thoughtless posting here, as you know. I suggest you take the attitude that the rimshots aimed at you are caused by their jealousy at your sparkling creativity.

The germ of this idea is too good to lie fallow.

Sheesh, people it was just supposed to be a bit of lighthearted humor, not the definitive bible on Apolyton.

IMHO this is Apolyton's Achilles heel, the meanness and constant attacks upon any and all projects that are started here. When I first started posting here there lots of activity in the Creation forums but everytime you would post something half the posters would attack your work and tell you how useless it was.

Now if you want to find something you almost have to go to CFC where the posters are more friendly and encouraging and not as vicious.

I was doing this for entertainment, but since I have all kinds of admin actions threatened on me I'll just quit.
im sorry to hear that, it sounded like a good idea...

it surprises me though tha tpeople threatened any action, most people here are very friendly...

you would be suprised. There are some people here with extraordinarily fragile egos who are very quick to hit the "report" button when they feel they've been slighted. In some cases, it is warranted, but in most I think a private note to the poster would work. Unfortunately the anonymity of reporting has killed some of the more creative aspects of the various C3 DGs.

I concur...........but he implies that not posters but admins told him not to continue, so he probably shouldn't. I'd like to know the reason though if possible.

I haven't gotten threats from official admins. And I plan on keeping it that way. I already got banned once and don't plan on pushing the issue again over something this stupid.

If there has been no admin and/or mod action on this, then what is the problem?
Just because some people seem to be complaining does not mean that the admin will automatically side with them, nor in the unlikely event that they do will they just ban you without warning.

Still, your choice.

So we have come to this? Any slight upset and now we have to fear a ban? This is sad. Could a mod or admin give some input here?

I believe you misread my intent.

I was prodding. You are weaving a creation myth. It is good, but if you look at the logo at the top there is something missing. I was just trying to be helpful.

I apologise for the 4 horseman post, because I should have recalled some of your difficulties and known that it might discourage you.

Oh yes they will. My last banning came without a warning and it was over something stupid. Something that could have been fixed within a few seconds if I had been informed about it.

I didn't even know I was banned and had to pm Ming to find out what had happened.
