Title: Random Nonsense
Post by: Goathead on December 23, 2010, 04:13:23 PM
I never told anyone to do anything. And I do believe that it's the responsibility of the old-timers of the forum to help out the newer members thank you.

You've been here a month and you have posted 32 times, that isn't an old timer.

I am an oldtimer, but then I left for a time and when I returned my previous account had somehow vanished, so I started a new one. This account might be a month old, but I, sir, am more an oldtimer here than you are.

I don't know who you are and you intro claims you were on here before it was happy atheist forum...it's been happy atheist forum for many many years I don't even think the first version that was around for a month or two on a free host was called anything else either (and all those users were migrated).  So, I think you are confused and need to quit arguing.

and as tank asked...what was your username?

Then you were never a member here previously...unless you just signed up, never posted and the account was recycled.

Have you checked the records of deleted accounts?

I personally am responsible for deleting accounts and only delete spam accounts and no post accounts...all others are kept.  There is no record of deleted accounts (as they wouldn't be deleted if there were) nor do I remember a goathead.

Is it possible my old account could have been mistaken for a spam account? Also, I thought that all moderators had access to records of deleted accounts? Otherwise there'd be no way to check them.

There is no way to check them and unless you were a spammer there is no way I would have accidentally thought you were a spammer because it is done manually.

There is no way to check on deleted accounts (I own the site, I have full access to it)...it's permanent; to keep record would mean they weren't actually deleted.  This isn't a complicated system.

You didn't post under the user name of Chuck Jones did you?  :|

My line of thinking exactly. I'm no spammer so I don't see how the account could have been mistaken for one... which makes it all the more odd.

Am I to understand that this site has no records of deleted accounts? None at all?

And I never had the username chuck whatever. It was always "Goathead".

Let's try this:

What did the forum use to be called?
Title: Re: Random Nonsense
Post by: Goathead on December 23, 2010, 05:05:28 PM
As for the name of the forum, I don't actually remember. All I know is that Thumpalumpacus and a user called PoopShoot were there, and a Buddhist called, I think, 24? And it had a black background.

That wasn't here. Thump and Poop have only just joined here after me.

That wasn't here...forum has never had a dark color scheme.

Now, where is our apology?

Hmm... Did they have any previous accounts?

It hasn't? Maybe my memory's playing tricks on me. I know- it was the text that was black, and the background of the posts was white... Apology for what?

Look, you've already been banned once for trolling (just searched the log)

I suggest that you stop claiming to have been an old timer here because you obviously weren't and stop behaving like a troll (an 'old timer' should know how to do this).

For some reason I thought Poop came from there (it's one of the forums that popped up when OBC, a previous mod at RDF, left...or so I've been told)...I could be wrong.

It fits goat's remembering a black color scheme.

Thump and Poop are both admins at Thinkingaloud Forum (TAF) and have huge post counts there, in excess of 20,000 each AFAIK. OBC did start Thinkingaloud as a result of closing the Veterans forum at RDF. I was an admin at TAF for a while until we fell out over a lady  :verysad: TAF does have a dark colour scheme as the default option. OBC left TAF as an admin after there were some mergers with other forums which is when Thump and Poop got involved I believe.

I'm going to tell you what a troll is just this one time and if you do it again (almost all of your posts have been trollish) you'll risk being banned permanently.

Well, I'll let Curio tell you...go read first post of trolling 101: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2332 (http://www.happyatheistforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2332)
