Re: so wait, people got banned?
The three guys that got banned have all made positive contributions to OSG in my opinion. I hope they return.
EDIT: I'm not saying they didn't also make annoying contributions too. Hopefully there will be less of that and more of the positive stuff in the future.

Re: so wait, people got banned?
Agreed. I hope the renewed love, goodwill, and overall feeling of OSG stays, because I'm quite enjoying it.
Damn kids, get off my lawn!

Let's hope our three bannees don't decide, once their month is up, to come ridin' into Dodge all guns blazing from a whole month of pent up non-bickering.
I keed. I know they're better than that.

Nobody's slinging shit or anything, just reflecting on the change. I don't think the banned folks were responsible for the entire problem, but they've served as a good example. They've brought this on themselves, and I'm certain others have too, they just happened to be the ones involved when the mods/admins finally decided they'd had enough.
I certainly hope they ALL come back and resume contributing to discussions, and to do so in a more thoughtful, respectful manner. It would be a damn shame if they decide to stop posting. It's too bad it had to come to this, but there had to be an example made.
I've been guilty of heated arguments and exercises in futility with other members, so I know I'm far from perfect. I just hope we can all learn from this, and that it's one step in the right direction for our beloved forum. We're all friends here, and that's far more important than all the silly arguments and hurt feelings. :-*

Re: so wait, people got banned?
i hope everyone returns in good mood. i mean, the ban is temporary, it's not the end of the world, and we shouldn't put anyone in worse light than they deserve, right?

If this ain't the fuckin' classiest shit I've ever heard in all my goddamn web-surfin' life, then I don't know what the fuck. Good on you, em-effer. Good. On. You....

Re: so wait, people got banned?
Not really. He was gone one day and I heard the following joke in the UK.
Farrah Fawcett died and went to heaven. God asked what kind of a world she would like to have left behind. She said "one where all the little children are happy and safe".
So he took Michael Jackson.

Re: so wait, people got banned?
Yeah, not sure if there's a 'too soon' concept anymore. I found out at 7am, and heard the first joke at 7.15am the same day. I won't tell it here, because it's really really bad.

Re: so wait, people got banned?
I missed that. Holy buckets. I gotta get back to reading this stuff more. I could cry about it, but I'm not too upset. Cause I'm not bad. (Ba-dum-ching) And I try to make people happy, giggle a bit, give out free hugs, offer to pole dance and be the Ma'dam for the money making for OSG. I mean, these things are all a tough job, but someone who is completely sucky at guitar and bass has to do it, right? You guys have serious Guitar talking to do. And I just need advice to not be sucky so I can move out of the misc thread section and on to the big girl stuff like set up of the day etc.
Blueavenger I am sure will have his revenge. I had barely been on here 30 seconds before he started with me, so I guess some of ya'll are right.
ps- Fuzz-king You have a big heart! Ich Liebe Dich.
I wish I could be less jaded than you! You cute little full of love for everybody fuzz-kingerrrrr.

Re: so wait, people got banned?
That was the first joke I heard, the following day as well, The one I heard last night was, since Michael Jackson has had so much plastic surgery and his body wont cremate into ashes, they are going to melt him down to make plastic bags, so at least on the bottom there will be a warning..."USE CAUTION AROUND CHILDREN"Orang Goreng wrote: Not really.

MJ was still a musical genius, a little "Off The Wall" (ba-dum-ching) but who the hell doesn't own Thriller and know at LEAST part of the dance for it. Personally I know the whole dance for bad and thriller. I have one of them on video. Which I will mysteriously loose off of YouTube. Right now......be back soon!
