Hmmm. So your posting under a different username then? Unfortunately, join dates from before the forum crash were reset to Nov 2006. Your however is Aug 2007. So, to most of us who check the join date to see if the user is a relatively new user, or an older one, this makes you look like a relatively new user.

So, who were you then? When did you really join?

If you were part of the forum before the big crash, you would remember the 'Ignore this Thread... just testing forum software' thread ended up just being a bit of fun. In fact, it was locked, and restarted just before the crash, to make it easier for mods to handle, but to keep the fun alive. Rob has kept this bit of fun going. The idea being to show that these forums can still be fun. Yes, it is off topic. But, it's an off topic thread that has a story behind it, and helps to link us back to the old forums. It also is a bit of fun, which I believe these forums need a dose of (fun that is).

If you really dislike the 'Ignore this Thread... just testing forum software', you do know you can ignore it? Same as if you do see an off topic post/thread, just stick a message in one of the posts in there, and put into the message that you believe that the thread has gone off topic. If you have a post of your own in there, you could always use the report button on that post...

How can you ignore something when it is deleted?

Sorry, I misunderstood which thread you were referring to.

As to why some threads that you are involved in seem to get locked and deleted, maybe it's item 13 of the CoC.

Submitting messages that are inflammatory and made simply with the intent to provoke disruption to the forum or chat room and encourage, incite or continue ‘flame’ messages. ‘Trolling’ and baiting will not be tolerated. Messages that are disruptive and destructive in character will not be tolerated. Flaming is deemed to include insulting, personally directed criticisms and/or messages that include comments aimed to incite anger. Trolling is deemed to include messages aimed to incite disruption or stir up trouble. For example, posting to a thread or starting a thread without the intent to contribute positive suggestions or comments. Instead, the aim is negative and disruptive comments.

Is it really? And you have acquired that level of skill? If so, why are you posting here?

Because the thread decided that it needed a "humourous" reply

Have a friendly day

"CasyJ: yours is also the kind of post that gets reported and dealt with. Completely uncalled for.
May the mods have mercy on your soul *arg*"

When did I say that?

Dear me, reading the replies Zwabbie manages to conjure for you guys is entertainment in itself, his grasp of sheer wit and sarcasm goes beyond anything I could possibly deliver.

Not quite the terminology I would use. If he weren't a man, I might think it was a periodical thing.
Can't tell from the profile.

Hang in there, Zwabberaar, I've tried to get that ridiculous thread removed a couple of times. Chimps could post more intelligent thoughts!

You see, a long time ago, this forum was populated by passionate railroad "hobbyists", now it's mostly any prepubescent knucklehead that wanders by the bargain bin at Walmart, so they bring their collective intelligence here. The rest are old coots that just want to disagree with someone....anyone....about something, or anything. You see, they have reached the point in their lives when they realize they are impotent, and unable to affect real change, so they huff and puff and contradict anything said by anyone to pretend they are significant, when they are really past their prime and sad in their posturing.

Unlike myself, however, they won't admit it.

Carry on Zwabberaar, fight the good fight!

This is a Trainz forum designed for members to chat about Trains and Trainz....not the forum.

If you want to talke about forums, go to a forum forum...if there's is such a thing. In any case, this is not the place.
