yer posts in the thread that gunman's post was already deleted from have been deleted so that the thread returns to the abyss.
Eh... oops, I thought I got all of those. I don't know what that guy's problem was... but reviving 35 2-3 year old topics was EXTREMELY pointless. I was wondering why the hell the whole first page of Where is/How to? was filled with new replied topics since I last checked (6 hours or so earlier) then I noticed that 90% of them were all from the same guy.
All of what? gunman's posts? Yes, you did.
I was referring to Recon and PZY's posts in response to him that were the only reason that thread was still hanging around... when I deleted them, it dropped off the first page, thus removing the temptation for anyone else to continue posting in that unlockable (by us, of course) thread.
anyway, then I noticed:
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=548
and I groaned and was about to start deleting any posts keeping it around when I noticed you and Recon having a convo, so there's way more than 2 new posts in there. Anyway, if I were you, I would have just deleted Recon's response to gunman when that was the ONLY post keeping the thread on the front page of WIHT and explained it all to him here, but...
eh, too late now. If anyone else posts in that thread, I suggest asking liljim to lock it when he wakes up or something, though.
God, I wish we could lock anything, and that just the deletion limit was in place. eh. Or that at least locks over 7 days from creation date were only disallowed if the topic had gone past 30 posts (1 page) or something. These short WIHT questions that get dredged up by gunman and others are such a pain since they ALWAYS mean I have to delete regs posts to sink the threads into gentle oblivion.
Please guys. Next time you see a guy like gunman posting stupid answers to questions that have already been answered, whether you notice the thread is 3 years old or not, don't reply. Just let it die/a mod kill it.
