Where'd it go

Draft Dodger · 08-19-2003, 08:19 PM

it had potential to be one of the greatest threads ever, and now it's vanished.

so sad...so sad

JeeberD · 08-19-2003, 08:22 PM

All the great threads vanish in the end...

Except for "How Long To Call". That one still hangs around...

mckerney · 08-19-2003, 08:23 PM

Does this count as destroying evidence related to his guilt of being a "village idiot"?

Good thing we've got tons of it.

JeeberD · 08-19-2003, 08:26 PM

No kidding. He just deleted some of his own posts...

SkyDog had better replace them ASAP....OR ELSE!

In the version of vB that the FOBL uses, the moderator has the option to restore deleted posts I think. Too bad we don't have that here.

DAMN! I always miss the good threads

Craptacular · 08-20-2003, 01:03 AM

I think I'm glad to know I have no idea what you're talking about.

mckerney · 08-20-2003, 01:09 AM

C-Tac- They're talking about mrskippy's thread that got deleted where he was threatening a lawsuit for slander against SkyDog and Gamespy for his title being changed to 'Village Idiot'.

EDIT: He'd talked to a lawyer.

TroyF · 08-20-2003, 01:20 AM

This really pisses me off.

I had plans of getting my 15 minutes of fame. I figure he sues FOFC and CourtTV picks up the case. I can be like the "friends" of Kobe's accusers. I make a teary eyed speech about how despite having 4000 posts I was never deemed to have said anything good enough to be on the "quote of the moment" page. How people here thought John Elway was an overrated QB. How I was traumatized by Laker fans.

I figure since this is dealing with sports, maybe they hire a hot sideline reporter to interview me. She wants to comfort me so she takes me back to her trailer. . .

OK, this is where the Penthouse Letter part of my grand plan comes in. Sadly, it isn't going to happen. No lawsuit, no way I can father Melissa Stark's second baby. How dissapointing.

SplitPersonality1 · 08-20-2003, 08:22 AM

Hey SkyDog,

I know the real reason that the "skippy" thread was deleted. It was to cover up the fact that I am missing approx. 50 posts from my original screen name of SplitPersonality.

I have tried to be reasonable, but you give me no choice since you now deleted a half dozen more of my high quality posts.

I am filing a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all FOFC members that also suffer from Post Deletion Withdrawal Syndrome. Anyone that has been wronged by SkyDog may join my crusade.

We will be heard.

Ksyrup · 08-20-2003, 08:27 AM

Did SD delete the thread, or did skippy delete it?

Ben E Lou · 08-20-2003, 08:29 AM

FACT #1: This is the first I've heard of this thread.
FACT #2: (Follows from fact #1.) I didn't delete the thread.
FACT #3: I did not change mrskippy's handle. I'm trying to find out who did.
FACT #4: I do NOT approve of that change (even though if anyone deserved that title, it was mrskippy), and I changed it back this morning.
FACT #5: Sounds like I missed some great unintentional comedy.

I'm not sure. I kind of hope it was SD. Otherwise my previous post looks like the ravings of a madman.

But, does it really matter. The skipster is in cahoots with the SkyDog. They don't want me to hit 2000 posts and obtain "grizzled veteran" status. It's all a conspiracy I tell you. A CONSPIRACY!

I did. As well as a countless number of other devisive and meaningless threads dating back to the transition to the new board. I think if you search for "mrskippy" and look at the threads I've started, I don't think there are any bad ones.

Plus I'm actually trying to REDUCE my post count.

But aren't only mods able to change handles/titles? That limits who can do it, right?

No conspiracy. It wasn't until I started deleting threads that I realized I wasn't just reducing my post counts. I'd hope to get QuikSand below 10,000, but to no avail.

And I don't think you can call something intentional unintentional.

Unless if you "hacked" the board as I think I remember you threatened yesterday (post probably deleted). Not that I think that happened, but hey, if SD says he didn't do it (would otherwise only leave Shorty and RyanS?).

Really whoever has access to the administrative panel (SkyDog, Ryan S, Galt, me, and thats all that I am aware of) can change user titles.

Just clearing that up.

korme · 08-20-2003, 03:33 PM

Also, I think SkyDog can check the log files to see if anyone was in there messing around. I think I might have gotten in early yesterday tweaking a template, but that was before skippy's change was made. So anyways, not that it is really a big deal or anything, but I'm pretty sure the logs have the answer.

John Galt · 08-20-2003, 03:39 PM

As a lawyer who has handled a variety of post loss lawsuits, I can say without a doubt that mrs. kippy has a slam dunk case. Frankly, the fact that you all are even joking about his will only up the damages to the seven figure range. Posts are the very essence of a person's internet identity - without a "fair and balanced" (TM Fox) accounting of posts, the web will enter a state of anarchy. Nothing less than the very existence of modern civilization is at stake in what will from here on be know as "skippy-gate." (TM pending). All of you should expect service of subpoenas in the coming week. Good day.

BTW, I didn't change his name to village idiot - I would have put something like "asshat troll," but I think "village idiot" is better.

SplitPersonality1 · 08-20-2003, 03:46 PM

But John. What about my class action lawsuit? Will you take the case?

"Post Deletion Withdrawal Syndrome" is a very real and growing problem in the FOFC community. We need to take a stand and do something about this. It is our right...no...it is our duty to to stand up against the ravages of this insidious disease. We need to stand up to SkyDog, mrskippy and anyone else who would dare to delete our threads.

Justice must be done!

I would never dola my way to reach a certian post count. That is not an honorable thing to do and goes agaist my persoanl code of ethics.

How dare you suggest such a thing, Kodos!

Split, I'm afraid I cannot handle your case. You see, for a class to be formed, the members of the class must have commonality and you must be a typical example of that class. Unless you are willing to testify under oath that you have much in common with mrs. kippy and your life situation is typical of his, then a class cannot be formed. Be warned that in 42 states and the District of Columbia, such an admission by you would constitute a statement of undying love for mrs. kippy and potentially engage you in an illegal marriage.
