THE FORMER/CURRENT TGP MEMBERS SECRET FARCE THREAD.

[pazuzu-bootsy-baphomet-jr]

Sorta kinda... When it all happened I tried to see what was going on, the other new one was mentioned so I said just keep the new one... I then asked for The Farce thread come back but be locked and was respectfully denied.

Again it was my fault for telling everyone I talked to @Beigelemon here and he was okay. That got the talk of this place started and a heated discussion with me and pigman and hime chastising me for coming here... then others joined in discussing this place and that was it.

Sincerely sorry everyone... I feel like shit for my part in getting it deleted.

EDIT: I guess I am responsible... dayum.

I really don’t think it’s your fault dood

you did your best to keep it going for 2 years, wasn’t your fault that

1. People started talking about RT and
2. NOBODY WAS AWARE IT WAS AGAINST THE RULES TO MENTION OTHER WEBSITES smdh secret codex

Weird that such a mega thread got deleted rather than the offending posts.

Yeah it damn sure is

Some folks didn’t like the thread because they didn’t “get” it and thought it was stupid, but didn’t seem to like the fact that people were having fun in there

 

[pazuzu-bootsy-baphomet-jr]

That's a bizarre aspect of TGP..

The moderators don't seem to have the time or the will to do any actual moderation.

It's either scorched earth policy, or they are going around lighting up the wrong fucking people.

100% on point

Well thanks but if I had just said Bagel Man was great and not mentioned this place it might still be there. But now that I mention it, whomever reported him for nubbing probably reported me for mentioning him.

Yep.

That's how this YabbaDabbaDoucheBag guy here is wired..

He doesn't have the mental capacity to figure out what's funny, so he's comes into threads and just drops a deuce.

There's that show ignored content again... someone must be having the time of there miserable troll life.

Anyone who's been there more than a month knows they don't stand for inter-forum bickering. Hard no.

As far as I can tell (in 5 months of being on here) it isn't anything goes, it's just a lot more liberal as far as the moderators getting up in yore grill about what you're posting.

ymmv

One of mods here likes BabyMetal so I’m never leaving

Brian Moore when they went to cheap imports was really Liberace about it.
Walked into a dealer here once and the BM wall almost gave me a seizure,
Crayola 128 pack of colors all swimming in ridiculous quilt.

This and the entire "oceanburst" next to unpainted wood trend of 2017-2022 will not be looked upon by history kindly.

It’s the exact opposite IMO; you take offense here with something that was said, you’re SOL. No mod to cry to, you have to confront the person who said it rather than hiding while pointing them out to a mod.
“He broke the rules and was mean to me…get him.”

That is one good reason why I like it hear.

Well, all due respect..

You just don't take offense.

Once they sense weakness.. you might as well open an artery and go swim with sharks.

Yep it still stings doesn’t it?

I have watched a number of OTC tupe sub-forum on different forums. I always thought they seemed to be more trouble than they were worth.

Watching the past several months here I got it. As the membership has risen fueled by the new folks from TGP, the activity in OTC has increased. A lot. @Monkey Man has said as much.

The gear related forums don’t seem to be experiencing as big of an uptick.

That is what clicked. A frenzied OTC with a bunch of traffic is actually a positive for the site owner. More traffic == Higher $$$ for advertising space. Higher revenue can tweak an owners bulshit meter when it comes to “noise” and difficult situations.

That is what is bizarre about the farce page getting shutdown. The farce page drove some traffic. It was a draw. It either stopped driving traffic, so why not kill it? Or… there is some really personal shit going on with the TGP mods/owner and they are doing some stupid, irrational shit as a result.

I suspect there are spies and/or tale carriers here on RT who go back and work up Scott and the mod squad.

Losing a chunk of their most active content generators to RT probably helps fuel the animus too.

Well i guess i must be dumber than the average bear, i’ve been on there off and on since 2011 and had no idea that talking *about-* another site was against the rules, and neither did anyone else in the thread

My perspective is, if it’s a rule, it should be written in the posted rules

Would save time vs policing randos who don’t know no better

The rules section needs an overhaul but I'm getting to the point where I just don't care anymore.
