Over the past few years the Official Forum rules have been changed slightly. Very slightly. I'm just gonna repeat info that has been here for nearly 3 years. Rule Nr. 6 in the official forum rules thread states that you shouldn't post in threads older than a month or so. Back in 2008 the Staff Team changed the Official time limit to 2 months. Still new members often miss that particular point, so I'm gonna break down the Rule for everyone so we have a better chance of avoiding pointless Threadmancing. The current rule: (6) THREADMANCING (Resurrecting in Old Threads): When a new movie/TV-show/song/event becomes popular, people naturally talk about -- it until it slowly becomes old news, no longer current or relevent -- and after that, anyone who tries to talk about it is usually seen as uncool or even annoying. Exactly the same principal applies to threads and posts! Try not to post in a thread older than a month or so, unless you genuinely have something new and insightful to add. Pointless threadmancing is frowned upon by your peers. Even after reading this (I Hope) some members still go about pointless threadmancing. I.E. members post less-than-one-line posts in sometimes year old threads. If you absolutely feel the need to post in a thread older than 2 months, do It Properly. Make a long well thought out post, perhaps even consult a Staff Member for advice. Now, a little over a year ago Joker introduced "Trophies" for the Hunted members. I've gotten a few PM's, and a few threads were made because members didn't understand their exact purpose. So from the big man himself, In Joker's own words: They don't affect your forum rank, posting, abilities, or anything else in any way. They're purely for fun. And if you wanna tell people who you like, or dislike we have an official thread you can do all that in here: predatorhunted.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=otalley&action=display&thread=5198I do hope this will lessen the problems any members might have, and clear off any doubts. If anyone has questions feel free to PM a Staff Members, or post in this thread. |

I didn't post this because of anyone in particular, and no one is in trouble.
Threadmancing Is just the most common problem most of the Staff have to deal with, and It's easily avoidable. Which prompted me to try, and break down How to avoid it.

We used to do that, but the Boss made us take an Anger Management Class.
Apparently hanging members wasn't a "Healthy way to display anger".
Sissies.

Well not for you....
Though It would make It a lot more interesting If we introduced Corporal punishment for breaking the rules.

I miss the old ways. We should bring them back. Hang anyone outside of our narrow minded view points on a thin razor line, be slandered with harsh words like "fan boy" and be accused of "terrorizing the new kid" and then proceed to viciously rape them several new holes in several places where orifices should not belong.
Cavity searches are a lot more fun when the cavity you're searching happens to be the chest.
But I guess doing that doesn't lead to much new blood in the system, and what with our numbers dropping like flies these days... Well it's just not the same.

Oh i do agree. I miss when General, and Kroenen could verbally slaughter all the people they didn't like. Does anyone else remember what happened to that guy who deleted all but 4-5 RPG threads all those years back? Kroenen tore that guy a Cosmos of new ones. It was awesome. That thread might still be around for the new guys to look at In complete Awe. EDIT: Found it: predatorhunted.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=mtclosed&action=display&thread=4472It's not Orthrus level of verbal kick ass, but I think It's just more plain Evil. Makes me wonder how we kept members when actually Did run the place like that. |

Boy,I will never delete anything! I think I done scared him. Members can't delete things of vast importance like Malus did anyway. Don't worry , the only guy half as evil as Kroenen Is The General, and we're not expecting his return till sometime in 2012. But play your cards right, eat your veggies, and in 2 or so short years you might be a Moderator! On a funny side note to my last post, I actually remember in the weeks after Malus returned after his ban Kroenen actually kept setting his post count to 0, and his profile really did say "Fool" for a long time. I think his profile might have gotten mauled as well. |

Wow... That's something.. I'm sure I will play nice (unless my twisted side takes control someday..O.O). Though it would be fun to see someone being hanged, cause I have never seen anything like that in my time here.. *snif* (And next time I look, I'm hanged...) |

Or you can piss off the Staff Team now. Maybe I'll just check that link.  |

I think his profile might have gotten mauled as well. Hey there, General's not the only Baby eating sociopath on the Hunted you know. Never really had much of a shot at talking to Kroenen unfortunately. I'm sure we would have gotten... well probably not. Back in the day I was a fucking moron. Although I do remember Malus deleting his profile for that beating after he was allowed back, then came back. Was treated like the albino fat kid in Africa by the General, for trying to act like the big man on campus and attacking me for some thread I made poking fun at an eventful day as a civi. But you know as he's a proud military type and all- not the smart kind mind you- he decided it was his place to try and make it look like my ordeal wasn't as bad as I portrayed it to be, and hasn't been seen around here since. And Core did the same for something a year or two later. Something about homophobia or something... And didn't the Cheshire cat have a not too dis-similar reason for leaving the board? Mind you, it's not like all these people were random idiots that wondered onto the board one day. Most of 'em lasted a few years. And eventually turned into the town idiots. Subjected to the whims of the town crazies. Who also happen to be the supreme leaders of the board. Because we roll like that around here. ;D Thats a good thing. Fear means he'll live. Be more conscious of his actions and understand that they have true consequences. But cannibalism and sadism aside, there's not much to fear from us. We're good decently violent folk. ;D |

Say whaaat?
I actually think I remember that.
I don't even think I had signed up here at that point, but I did read a lot of old threads about him.
From what I gathered everyone really did hate him... Well not everyone, but Kroenen didn't like him.... That should be all the reason you need.
True. Even Tommy the Degenerate lasted a little while before General man handled him.
I'd love to give the Staff more credit, but It's true.
All we do Is hang members, eat babies, and trash talk members in the Staff Room.

It's true, not a widely known fact. But true. I eat babies as well. Only I'm not limited to babies. The hunger for human flesh knows no bounds. If you're hungry, you're hungry. The trick is knowing where to make the cuts for the best collection you can get. But we digress.
Looking at the threads Cheshire really was the biggest town idiot we've had- next to Tommy the Diminutive. But at least Tommy attempted to be articulate. Cheshire did nothing of the sort. Just look at his threads. It'd be alright if he was like 14 or 15 like many of us were when this started. But to my knowledge he was older?

His age Is hidden from me, but going from the pictures in the first Post Your Pic thread in '04 he does look quite young.
I always got the feeling he just fondled Wikipedia whenever he posted.
Is It just me, or are we going off topic? But oh how I do enjoy talking about the old days of humor, sex, and violence.

As previously stated.
We should likely take this chat elsewhere and continue it at a later date.
