It didn't get deleted, it's just on the 4th or 5th page now. The Lounge is hoppin' today.
OMG! Will this be the Next Random Thread?????????
I like cheese. ....and hockey too.
TRT was not deleted, Pryce just locked it. Unfortunately, the thread had very recently become a magnet for cliques and drama, to say nothing of trolls, which finally did it in. It was also getting some kinda seriously ginormous and sucking up memory like a swine.
On the other hand, TRT was a really valuable thread. It was sorta like chat, except slower. It allowed people to share what was going on in their daily lives and have some fun with it. For me, it was like catching up quickly on peoples' lives. I think it will be sorely missed.
People were aware of what was acceptable. The Drama Thread is just a blistering parody of what TRT should NOT be, as well as a way to blow off steam, so there is enough awareness on the site to know what is acceptable behavior and what is not.
I think there is an open mind on establishing something like TRT in the future, but some time needs to go by to allow things to cool down, and some thought needs to be given to how to moderate the thread to minimize the drama when it arises and keep it from flaring up into a ridiculous conflagration.
awww RIP TRT!
Well that sucks. I liked TRT for musings I had that would seem dumb if I made them into a new post.
Why do I feel like this will be closed too?
^^ because its the new random thread at the moment.
At the risk of saying what's already been said, perhaps one of the fixes for thread-out-of-control-ness in The Lounge could be adding more than one moderator there?
I'm not saying Paige isn't up to the task but maybe she could use some backup.
Word.....
If anyone says that, I'll just point them to TOO's eloquent statement about how there's plenty of awareness of the rules already...
Well then peeps should have no prob following them. And if not maybe they should learn how to read.
The drama thread has been closed as well now :'(.
Oh well in a few weeks it will seem like a distant memory. At least I can catch up reading TRT without 765432652685 pages appearing while I sleep lol.
I can't believe it's gone. I've been offline for like one day...
wow you got bed and wake up and you miss much lol oh well i miss the trt rip. :)
CH-WHAT?? wow... let's all sit shiva for TRT. *(eheh lysondra- that's your answer.... lol)
Bah, I won't miss it. Now I know how everyone felt when J. Edgar Hoover kicked the bucket. :dance: :rip: :party2:
The RT was sort of like M*A*S*H* or Beverly Hills 90210, something that ran a few seasons longer than it should have.
Wow, even though I rarely posted in TRT I liked reading it. Sad. :'(
If the moderator do try another random thread, could I suggest you try to make them monthly? Start one on the first of a month, lock it at the end of the month. That should help with the size issue and with regular closings of TRT type posts, maybe they will stay friendly.
After mulling this over... I think closing the thread was whack. Just my two cents.
I posted in it maybe a dozen times but I liked randomly opening up to a page and getting a good laugh.
Fuck who ever ruined it. Now I'm sad.
I knew it was bound to happen. Like TOO said, the troll just did it in. Either way, I will surely miss it, because I did usually use it to post my random thoughts... not to suck up to people and gossip. I'm kind of glad the troll came in and stirred up the drama, though... because I was able to see some true colors of some people that I was starting to take a liking to. Nevertheless, I'm taking a SW break because of all of that. I have projects that need to be taken care of anyway. I'll talk to you peeps laterz. :-*
(No, this was not supposed to be a drama llama post, either)
RIP TRT!!! You will be missed...
