I don't blame the Lock but I expected worse from the title I don't agree with insta banning like that because he didn't seem bad intentioned. It seemed more like legit curiosity and while some people will keep their opinions forever and carry some sort of sexism you can still educate people that seem willing to listen. I don't think he had bad intentions either, but that type of thread always ends in a dogpile. Gently educating people whose opinions differ from your own isn't the internet's strong suit.

The title alone ensured the thread would have a short, but colourful, life. Also, thank you to whoever locked the Fat World thread. I didn't go into it again after I found out what it was, but seeing the title periodically reappear always made me wince. Yeah, after looking at a couple of pages... I get it, fetishes are usually out there and they're mostly... MOSTLY... harmless. But this isn't a fetish board. I don't post WWE or celebrity fetish fanfics on here, I post them where it's appropriate, because even though I enjoy them and I'm sure some other people would, there are others who could find it offensive. It's about having respect for other people's boundaries.

Locking the fat world thread after five years is completely ridiculous. There wasn't a sexual slant to it like the weirdo gimmick where people post modelling images of female wrestlers in the RAW/SD live thread. There wasn't, for example, a sexIST slant where the women were getting mocked. It couldn't even constitute fat shaming. I mean, they were photoshops. I didn't even find the thread particularly funny after the first five times I saw it, but c'mon, who was it actively harming?

I locked it because some of the posters here can't behave themselves and decided they wanted to start making tasteless fat jokes. And this will be the last post in this thread about it.

Hi, could a mod please delete or lock my birthday thread? I thought better of it.

Will the Wrestlecrap avatars ever be restored on another host?
They've been a staple of this forum for over a decade, well before I started posting, so it would be a shame if those were lost forever.

The original place they were hosted was on Photobucket which as most know went from being the best image hosting place on the internet to the worst, cue images being replaced with stock photobucket logos or now blurring. Not sure who originally hosted them but the default avatars have been updated to reflect the Forum being FAN now not wrestlecrap (although a few nods to the old avatars remain.)

hey I'm getting some weird thing with the WYSIWYG posting thing on desktop where a bunch of junk javascript shows up, and I can't get rid of it apart from clearing it in the BBCode editor. I left it in this post to demonstrate.

Regarding the recently locked Northerners/Southerners thread, that's not the first time a blatantly obvious troll thread or whatever it would be called, was posted on FAN. And like those previous threads, we just had fun with it and made it our own.
I think that speaks highly of this particular forum.

I agree and I thank you all so much for being amazing people on these things. I just felt a message needed to be sent that, even if we don't fall for it, it's still not something that can be brought here.

Just found out on facebook that this week is the 35th anniversary of the PMRC hearings. Could I make a topic on it or is it too political?

Sometimes I forget that our little community here is different than the rest of the internet, and it makes me proud to be a part of it. It’s probably not fun to have to be the bad guy sometimes, but it’s because of you and the other mods that we’ve got a pretty kickass place to hang out. I’ve genuinely become a better person because of my interactions here.

I’ve genuinely become a better person because of my interactions here. Seconded. When I was young I was involved (more than a little, less than a lot) in a nasty situation that started with a group of people meeting on a posting board, and ended up in a real life mess involving stalking, drugs, and domestic violence. If that other board had the type of moderation we have here, it would never have happened.

Posting an IMGUR gifv(no sound) counts as a video?

Any chance Polls could get their own thread/forum part because there are so many of them in the Forum Games and I don't really count a voting thing as a game. Also it's very hard to follow a simmed tournament or season unless you have actually posted in there or it is your own topic.

Not super important, but can you guys and girls make a notice of not putting AEW results in NXT thread and vice versa since most will be watching one live and recording the other?
I just feel like if people start doing it a lot of people will be pissed. I'd also imagine the Mods would have to deal with fighting.

Hadn't considered that, that's a valid point.
We'll discuss it for sure and try to get this sorta thing hammered out.

That'll make it easier to follow. (I hope bookmarks still work. I know they got borked for a bit. Borkmarks aren't as good.)
