Outer Space Ordering Info


What the hell. I came to this post to read about the alien who wanted a Pandora, and all the mods decided to ruin it. The mods usually kick people off threads for derailing them like this. This was supposed to be a fun post to relieve the stress of waiting for the Pandora and the mods just plain ruined it. They could have taken their petty squabbling elsewhere but they decided to have a public brawl on the thread just to make everyone else ticked off like they were. I come to this board to hear about the Pandora and see what the community was up to, and sometimes I like to hear about off topic things because they make my day brighter. Sometimes people have a lot of fun, and make things for other people to have fun with, which is why I have decided to hang around. This is an unacceptable mod war which people did not need to see. If this post was in the wrong place it needed to be moved and not deleted because I wanted to see it, as I am sure a lot of other people did too. I have been really frustrated waiting for my Panda, and I am sure I am not the only one. So for you guys to ruin my only source of relief REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY! I bought a $300 dollar machine which I have waited almost two years for and you guys are squabbling about whether or not to delete stuff. I DON'T CARE, GET OFF MY ENTERTAINMENT THREAD. I thought the mods would be adult enough to work things out like this without having to involve the community. This is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. You have totally ruined my perception of the professionalism of this forum. I am investing time into your community, the least you could do is mod the boards with some semblance of being mildly adept at what you do. You let this get out of hand, and you need to change your attitudes so this does not happen again. If I wanted to read some threads with stupid arguments I would go over to 4chan, youtube, or reddit at least those morons are funny. I like the friendly attitude on these boards, people help one another and don't constantly bash one another for everything under the sun. The people here are generally happy and have a positive attitude like no where else on the net. I don't even know of anyone I have met in real life or on the net that would wait for years and still have high hopes about the progress of their product (duke nukem does not count). The people on this forum are my friends, and I wish I could have friends like them in real life. I would be the luckiest man alive if I could connect with all of these people who have hearts of gold, and such great minds. Please don't fight in public view mods, it is really bad for the community much worse than deleting threads. It is like having your parents fight, and then having them ask you to pick sides. That is how you split a community </rant>

Edit: spelling
 
It's not a mod war though - just one mod. A very nice chap he is too.

I think you guys should make me a mod. I can keep Mali in check and undelete cool threads like this one ;)

Nostalgia Mode:

Even though I was a rebel at school, they made me a prefect due to my underlying sense of fairness and responsibility (there's a story associated with this, but lets just say I impressed an influential teacher). Unlike other prefects in my year, I didn't seek some kind of cathartic release by treating the younger kids like I was treated back then... but I did my job.

Weirdly enough, I got a lot of hatred from non prefects in my year who thought I didn't deserve my position. You see, I regularly got into trouble for being cheeky... I was never a model student. Their spite towards me was probably evidence that they weren't mature enough to police other students.

I'm not really making any kind of point here by the way.

I had two banana ice lollies during my walk around the park. This posts makes no sense... why am I talking about ice lollies in a thread about aliens and deleting threads? That's because it makes no sense. If you agree, then I should be made a mod.

Edit: This is a joke. I don't want to be a mod... prfff.... more work! Sure!

Thanks for keeping it in perspective :)
To the original topic of this thread:
I unapproved it after the first two posts which already went in the direction to criticize the meaning of "micron". I wanted to protect the OP from being ridiculed. I PM'd the author cause I thought he would really like to meet an other Pandora user and we had another thread right there I pointed him to.
He was ok with it and said he was just bored. I responded that I'll move it Off Topic for the lulz then and that humour is relative.
In the meantime our Someguy opened another thread asking where the other one is. He is a damn fast poster. So it got merged and ended here.

You should know by now that I do _not_ delete stuff. It went rather unfortunate with the following discussion and I'm sorry for that. But bear in mind that I'm still a MOD n00b and learn how to handle it correctly. You can be sure that this was the first and last thread I unapproved on impulse.

Won't let me embed this one. I guess want their miniscule share of advertising pennies.

Yeah, I did that for a few minutes. I actually wrote out a couple of paragraphs in reply, but they would be lost in his blind hatred for debate and reasoning.

Just seemed like a rant to me. They tend to have that kind of quality.

The edit makes it for me.

Thank you for letting me get all that off my chest without being too mad at me. I was just really annoyed that all of this debate had to happen on an obviously fun thread.

To the OP:
I am sorry for ranting on your thread.

To everyone trying to defend against the attack:
This was not meant to be an attack on the mods or against anyone else, more than anything I was just frustrated. I am tired of waiting for my Pandora, I am tired of waiting for info, and I am tired of seeing bickering like this. This thread was something I wanted to contribute to and have fun with, and after three pages of fighting instead of having fun I'd had enough.

Yah, it wasn't really meant to be argued with. I am not really in the mood to debate about stuff, I know it was not really accurate, sorry about that. I am in a better mood now, I think waiting for the Pandora is getting to me.

Please send me a link when you use it, I would find it amusing.

Edit: Could we move this out of this thread so we stop ruining it?

Edit2: I hope I didn't make anyone mad, I really don't like making enemies. If I offended you I hope you can accept my apology.

The fun will continue, fear not.

And yeah, I went on a massive spleen venting rant while waiting for the Pandora. It happened about once every six months I think.

Don't bottle that stuff up!

I don't think anyone has made enemies here. Maybe Mali has found a new target to wind up though (me). ;)

We'll do it the gp32x way, godwin's law reversal :D We had some swastikas already, iirc.
I'm not mad at you, it's good to vent :p

I for one, welcome our new guatrian overlords. I'd like to remind them that as a trusted forum inhabitant I could be useful in rounding up others to toil in their underground pandora research caves.

Jutley! Thanks for making the effort to travel so far (micron after micron of of open space, very tedious). Glad to see you're staying a while and have updated your location to the UK. I hope you are finding the local atmosphere pleasant. I must say you have started to pick up the language quite well.

Well you know us guatrians can mutate ourselves into anything and anyone and we inherit the mutated persons talents aswell (i always wanted to be a porn star) well back on the subject i have changed my location to uk on my profile so i can blend in with the locals.

What are you going to do when you find him?

You're not from some kind of parallel dimensional Microsoft/Sony type thing are you? Trying to find why a small team with limited funding can build a better DPad than you, despite your hyper advanced tech & research facilities, is that it?

I think you have not had a reply / response as your asking for the wrong individual. You want the human by the name Craigix. (If you do find Craigix, you might regret it depending on the kind of day he's had).

I would suggest it would be easier to attempt contact with EvilDragon, ED for short. He is a good ambassador for OPT.

Come to think of it keep looking for Craigx, it adds to the humour of this thread.
