Damn...I've been visiting a little bit more now that The New Black is about to come out and I keep going to hit reply in certain threads and I get the:

This topic is locked: you cannot edit posts or make replies.

Lame. I had a few witty (not) responses on deck. So, here they are:

This conversation is gettting a bit Blabbermouthish!

My reply was going to be:

First post! Faggot!

KELLY CLARKSON!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!1!!111!!!!!!!1!one!!11!!!!!

Fucking CLASSIC! Then I had another classic zinger for this one:

Was just wondering, if any of the lyrics in and around that song, are in any relation to you?..

Have you been asked that before?..

No, it's about the Earth.

Oooh right..

Interesting

Okay, I'll be lookin' at this song in a new light then hehe

The Zing-O-Matic 5000 spit out this one:

Devin likes 'em big and round!

Classic comedy right there! You can't teach this shit! But alas, the mods are holding the comedian down with their iron fist of anti-fun!

I would say 4, but that's not an option. *sigh*

Nazis, eh?

If you are referring to the highest density of locked topics (ie. the "Ask Tracy" section) then the majority of threads have been locked by...

...wait for it...

Tracy.

Tracy the HDR Forum Administrator.
Tracy the head of HevyDevy Records.

Now, you wanna take issue with that? Be my guest.
As far as I'm concerned - it is her Board, her prerogative to do as she pleases...in the face of some quite unkind behaviour at times.

You'll be visiting more? Pleased to see ya.
If you wish to contribute to the Forum like eveyone else, then we welcome your input.

If you want to flit in, take a few potshots at the Moderators, light a few fires and leave again then I'm afraid you'll find no home here.

Come on guys... Stop whining!!

This message board is one of the best boards on the net (if not the best) and the mods are not nazis at all...

Personally this place has got a lot better i feel. There was a time when we had a mini war. Shit self-indulgent threads are locked to make way for stuff people will actually want to read. I honestly dont see a problem there. The mods here are all cool, just remember they're not out to get you, they're here to put devys & his fans interest first. Why everbody takes a bit of light (3.07%) moderation so personally is beyond me.

Not this old chestnut again... This entire issue is .

[JuZ]

Blah blah blah...

Maybe this thread should be locked, it's rather senseless.
I don't have a problem with the moderation here. There isn't much need for moderation because everyone treats everyone with a respect that I've never seen on any other forum. None of the flaming and trolling here, which is good!
Threads are never locked without reason. The question has been answered, the topic has been dealt with before, it's gone waaaaaaaaaaaaay off-topic. Or, in this case, Eyesore is whining. No big deal.

[EphelDuath666]

Geeez.....I think we need a thread discussing how many threads full of whining like this one we have here Stop crying, it's starting to get ridiculous...

Stop crying, it's starting to get ridiculous...

You know this'll only provoke more crying? Perhaps a "withdrawal" from heavy participation in the forums. Sound familiar?

Eyesore loves it here, he just can't accept it.

Seriously, why isn't there an option on the poll for 4?

or 11 to 19? And two possibilities for 1?
