What's with all the moved threads?
Invalid links but they appear to have been moved...

To where? Staff forum perhaps.

Have I missed something?

Even more weird, I just posted in this thread, but it didn't show up

What happened to that strange 'Ming' thread btw?

A better question would be... what happened to the nine heads of Ming?

Ming got crazy... that's it.

All the threads got moved to the Staff Forum. Has to have been something happened at the Chicago Poly Meet last night.

not Ming. as far as our little investigation in the chat went, it seems that he forgot to log off, (or probably cookied), and a bunch of people started posting stuff. But I don't know really. it's possible that it was with his knowledge.

some links to threads from that night (thanks to the people that found this data, and are hosting it now, you know who you are ):

Actually, it seems that they were all playing a game where there were 9 posts, and you had to guess which one of the posts was by the real ming. if you got it wrong they closed a random thread. Apparently it seems one by one all the members either passed out or left or thought they'd created enough damage and then the madness ended and so on and so forth. After which it was periodically closed and deleted.

Ming, you badass. . If you took part of it, I guess there is no worry to you being hurt by anyone in this story.

however, my request from the PM still stands. WE WANT ALL THE FACTS!

Nah, those weren't enough if you can have the whole thing.

And yes, all the threads were moved to the place pointed out by Imran.


note by markg: when some threads are taken off public access, it is done for reason. minimum respect to our decision would be welcome

What's this post about respect about? I asked a question and (for once) there was no side except curiosity about what happened. I also notice that MarkG appears to be modding OT at the mo.

Has Ming been suspended?

Respect isn't something you would be expected to be familiar with, Taz. I can understand why you would question it.

if you're refering to MarkG editing a certain posters post, I believe it means that that poster posted links to webpages that have to deal with your original question.

if that doesn't make any sense, tell me, and i'll tell you in one sentance what happened. But for now, that paragraph will have to do

or that MarkG removed both sets of links at the same time and saved keystrokes by typing a shorter message in the first (and avoid redundency to boot)

The request was for "minimum respect" to be welcomed, NYE. That might mean something to you, but it's a little meaningless to myself and Taz (it seems). I certainly didn't understand it, anyway. Feel free to provide a translation if you know what it means.

Congratulations to all the partygoers. There are few things in life better than when teacher starts misbehaving. More power to your drinking elbows.

Yeah, but some of those threads restricted were interesting discusions, such as the HDTV one.

On the subject of respect, just how are we expected to respect this forum when the mods start behaving worse than the posters they get heavy handed with in the 1st place? It is a very hypocritical stance n'est ce pas?

I think the word MarkG was looking for was 'modicum', cos right now I am beginning to feel a minimum of respect for certain mods...

Also for the record, I am not necessarily condemning the actions themselves - sounds like a great time was had by all! (as long as the damage is reversed.)

It's just this real authoritarian 'do as I say not as I do' attitude that seems to be becoming increasingly apparent on this forum - anyone would think we're in a right-wing dictatorship or something...
