It's high time you restore Offtopic
« on: November 30, 2008, 05:46:10 pm »
It's funny and somewhat depressing that a self-proclaimed anarchist like iago would take Stalin's broom and sweep away all the glorious memories of our humble abode. He must have felt threatened when I pointed out how Offtopic was nigh the population of his own forum. And in this point of pride, in the anticipation of our glory, `He` (iago) tyrannised our forum, unlawfully, making a unilateral decision to delete the majority of our `memories` (posts) on a mercurial whim.

And not only that, but...

(List King George the Third's usurpations here.)

And so I beseech him, our very own authoritative anarchist, known as none other than iago, and I beseech the faithful republicans here present on these forums, to restore the posts of Offtopic that were stolen from us on the wings of hypocrisy. Hearken to the constitution of x86 -- and the glory of Offtopia! (Notice how these two always coincide? Some would call this 'fate'.)

It's high time you restore Offtopic

So you want us to return off-topic to its original purpose: off-topic? And not a troll haven?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I thought they taught contextual reading in third grade...? Oh, you must have been whacking off during that lesson (and all subsequent lessons on the matter).

Ahem..I unsticked a bunch of threads.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

That's not the problem. We now have only 2 pages of posts. We used to have, what, 20 pages of posts?

I agree with Newby, that we should restore the off-topic board to being a board that we move off-topic discussions to, and nothing more. :P

(That's what you're asking for, right? :D)

But seriously, I "deleted" the rest of the pages a long time ago, why didn't you say it at the time? I had totally forgotten. :P
