The Director

Lock the thread? Or hide it?

Banned for not realizing that I banned you for breaking the combo and you're still breaking it.

I did. Right when he was in the middle of a convo. Anyways, banned for giving me permission.

Banned for breaking the combo between myself and red. No really.

Banned because your eyesight is obviously horrible. Or do I need to change my skype picture again?

Banned because you fit in the clique. To quote Piccolo in Team Four Star's Dragon Ball Z Abridged series, "NERD!"

Banned because you read textbooks. Nerd.

Banned because absolute powah corrupts absolutely.

Banned so I can take the powah.

Banned for a joke.

Not really my domain here, this is something that RSR could comment on as it would be something we would need to delegate to either the newsgroup or create a new staff group all together. However, the way I see it I don't know that this would necessarily be in demand on the site, and may be more popular if it's not handled by staff. Here's some pros and cons. Pros: It would attract more traffic to the site and potentially get us more members. It would create more discussion in relation to other games. Cons: It would be difficult to maintain. Potential for aggravated feelings between members if inactivity ensues and someone else steps in. Increase in 'fanboy arguments' between different console supporters. Potential for plagiarism accusations from sites who do the same thing.

I'm afraid not. You see, the last time there were not rules prohibiting off-topic posts in the Member Suggestion/Ideas Thread, we got posts from members calling each other idiots for their ideas as well as posting nonsensical things. As you know, we moderators are responsible for calling you guys idiots for your suggestions, and we get jealous when you tread on our turf.

We do, but there isn't all that much call for it. See?

I'll make sure the events staff see this. LOL no. That thread is literally nothing but you and two or three other members spamming nearly the same post over and over again. If it dies, it deserves to. There is absolutely no substance to the thread and it hasn't even been funny since the 100th reply or so. Here are some quotes to prove my point. Number of replies to a topic do not make it worth being pinned. You and Jack have had that thread on life support for months now. If it dies, it dies.

Alright, so the last thread was getting rather... large. So we're making this shiny new thread. Post your ideas or suggestions for changes to the forum or any forum related media. THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR IDEAS FOR HALO. OR FOR IDEAS FOR OTHER GAMES. All posts that are not on topic will be deleted from this topic.

Welcome back. And you're welcome.

See? Point proven. You post saying you are grateful for the reply, but didn't like the post.

Not really. Not too many of my answer posts get liked, and even then rarely do they get liked by more than one person. Actually, most of the likes I get are from official posts or random posts in the forum.

Correct. Your turn.

Okay, so it's pretty apparent that I'm going to have to explain to you not only how language works, but also how the human mind works at some length. Language doesn't form from thoughts, it forms from the desire for outward communication. If there were no need for outward communication among humans, then we wouldn't have a language, and we would think in terms of images rather than words. In other words, if you thought of a red cape you would think of the color red rather than the word red and the shape of the cape rather than the cape itself. Interestingly enough, this is evidenced by a type of Autism. Autism effects the persons social and communication skills to the point where the person doesn't even try to learn any languages. A decent number of them never do, either. Instead, they sit in their "own little worlds" and do things such as play video games or draw. This proves that they do have the ability to think, as such tasks would be impossible without that ability, without having learned any forms of communication. There are quite a few people who have Autism who are pretty gifted when it comes to painting or drawing as well. One of the reasons this may be is because they do not think with words like you and I do. They think with images. So when they think of a dog, their brain holds an image of the dog which they can then translate to the paper by drawing. When WE think of a dog, we think of the descriptive words for the dog and attempt to translate those to the paper using techniques for shaping.

Only if it's okay with the driver. Thought does not require language, so obviously thought came first. The reason you think in sentences is because our brains have evolved to do so. Earlier people, those without language, thought in images or feelings. Similar to the way animals think. Nice try at a deep question though. The egg came before the modern chicken, because that's how the modern chicken would have had to be born. That being said, there is probably an earlier form of chicken that laid that egg. So on and so forth.
