[Locked] FAKKU Café v5.3

It did wreak havoc before, threads used to break when they got that long, but that was only a problem for a short time, it has nothing to do with the Fakku of today.

The next question doesn't make sense, doing something because I enjoy it is the only reason I need, regardless of how few others it "contents".



You are grateful, as long as mods are there to help whenever you need/want them, you feel that everything is being run as you believe it should be run and as long as nothing upsets your world(none of this is exclusively you). Anything outside of your expectations is met with resistance, hostility, and a general tone of disrespect(again not specifically you).

Why close the thread? As I said, fun and a reminder that nothing is a right. I dont know why you're trying to get another reason out of me, does fun not make sense?



You witness a fraction of the complaining; a small percentage of posts in feedback, the amount of emails and pm's the staff get a day(mostly Jake) would truly shock you. In comparison, amount of praise we get doesn't amount to much and often get drowned out by all the white noise of complaints. We dont even mind, it's our "job"(very few of us get paid) and we signed up for it. So from time to time when someone acts as if it's their God given right to post anything they want, or to double and triple post the staff feels the need to remind them that it's not. The cafe was simply the worst offenders for the longest time, and to some extent they still are.



No special treatment? The idea that no users except a "cafe" regular should start one of these threads isn't special? To be fair I would say that's very special treatment. I don't even mind letting that go on, but don't for a second think you don't ask for privilege.

See that's where I lose you, "and people will mostly be ok with it, so long as". This forum isnt a democracy, you have no right to make demands or have expectations, anytime we take your advice or do something you want it's a gift, a reward, the staff trying to make this place more fun, but it's not your right. If I wanted to ban the use of the word "the", force everyone to post in green and limit the letter "k" from peoples names all I would need is support from one man and there is nothing anyone could do. Obviously we wont do any of that, because it's stupid and there's no point, but if I choose to lock one thread when it nears 10000 posts because it's fun then that's what will happen.

Not sure I can explain why it's fun, I just do(posts like these help).

That was a great explanation. I think your one of the best mods evar : )

luin, you still on schedule?

Have I ever been?

I may be saying things people don't want to hear, but there is an undeniable beauty to the way I say them. Some of my old posts can honestly take someone's breath away.

edit: That's my ego

Sometimes...

With this translation?

Oh, no lol

See. Not going to happen before it ends. If even then. :D

Only 2 weeks left... Ehm.

2 weeks?

Till your time is up.

Time?

I thought this thing had to be finished by the end of the month.

No, it has to be finished tomorrow. Unlikely, but we'll see...

Thanks for taking the time to answer ^^

Rereading through your post a few times I think I can get what you tell me. I don't agree with some of it, but then again I don't have a choice. You are right, this is not a democracy, this a site run by a few people who make decisions they feel are right for site. And if I disagree with them I can just go somewhere else. True. I don't really like it, but true.

And when you put it in perspective, it isn't much. You are after all a reasonable bunch, and your "reign" is not an unpleasant one. If all we've got to live with are thread deletions, eh, we can rebuild them. Edit: I still don't like the thread being closed suddenly without a good reason but I can live with it.

Thank you for your time and a good day to you. (I still don't get the fun part. Is it the power trip?)

Better down those energy drinks.

Energy drinks are nasty.

I don't remember if I've ever even actually tasted one.

I know, they're good when combined with alcohol to make some nice mixes.
