RIP Male Viera

Thread was completely deleted.
You don't just delete a thread with over 1800 likes for no reason
We're just not getting them, nor female Hrothgar.

Well, I expect this next expansion to be full of new things beyond the usual MSQ and 2 new jobs.

Why would it be deleted? :o

I haven't read it in about a week so I don't know what recent posts were like, but if a thread gets too argumentative where multiple posts need to be moderated they'll just moderate the entire thing to make it easier than having to weed through each post.

Fun fact: This happened to my LGBT directory post back in early 2.0/beta days. A few weeks in it got spammed by a bunch of hateful comments and people started arguing and it got deleted entirely. I just reposted it a few hours later with an additional note near the top about how it was for the LGBT community and if one didn't like it then one should just ignore it and move on. Barely got any negative comments that time and it still exists today, although it got picked up by another player when I took a break around HW. Discord serves as a modern replacement these days, so it's now just an archival thing.

Bonus fun fact: When I returned from my break I discovered that RL friends played so I joined their FC. Turns out it was one of the FCs that had joined my list and many members had joined because of finding it there. I got a whole bunch of feel-good /tells and /fc messages that they found the FC through the thread and thanking me for it when I casually mentioned it one day in FC chat.

That thread had, at points, completely went off the rails. I'm surprised it lasted even half as long as it did. Tried looking for it but it does indeed appear to be gone. Wonder what the tipping point was.

In the past they would lock a thread if it went off the rails, but it seems they've been deleting them lately.

I wondered why my post count suddenly went down by roughly five hundred posts...

It's not a good sign for the thread to have been deleted outright, though at the same time it did end up devolving into circular arguments due to a lack of fresh information to discuss and work with.

Took em long enough.

Confirmed no male viera, hopefully some big feature replaces it. Good on SE for silently deleting everything, like usual.

THANK GOD IT'S GONE!

So it finally happened, huh.
It lasted way longer than I expected it to do.
