Fridge full of Taco Bell *drools*
Paying for diarreah does sound more fun than marrying a woman. Congrats OP!
ahhh flash I can't see! such a big rock. OP just got the PLD relic Ring that enhanced flash. I sense a high lv goldsmith helped :D
big congrat!
:O big beatbox is super cooool
Probably divorced by now so playing XIV was still better for sure.
This is going too far. The necros need to stop because it is just spam.
Ohhh nooo, lol. The excitement is real there...I can understand the feels. About XIV, that is. Don't know what that thing this on her finger that means someone is getting the m word...nope...don't know what that is at all.
The wisest choice ever made was picking up XIV lol.
Whaaaaaaaaaaa? I'm so terribly hurt :(
I had to create a completely separate reply just for you two.
Oh yes, it's going too far because, rather than continue to constantly engage in doom and gloom, venting, arguing, and generally going into more negative posts than positive on a daily basis, a few of us pulled up some old threads that are fun and ripe for further discussion because a lot of what it talked about lately doesn't create a positive atmosphere. Oh, it's too far when we want to bring up some fun threads from those that came to the forums before us and bring them to a new audience.
Oh wait...it's just too far because....oh my god, because it's fun. And we all know that the forums are SERIOUS BUSINESS! and no fun is allowed here. Confirmed now...there should be a /nofun megathread now, eh?
So basically, you just admitted to abusing the report system because you're not necessarily having any fun. Or perhaps it annoys you because it offends your sensibilities? So if there are a rash of bans that come out from this, I suppose you'd be proud of yourself. Even though we aren't breaking any rules, we are actually fostering some discussion, and because this is different from the usual not-so-positive front page you're used to seeing. It's not like anybody has forced you to come into these threads. Nobody said, hey, Panda, you can't go into another thread until you come here. Nobody is intruding upon your enjoyment of the forums. These threads aren't even covering half of the front page.
But if you want to feel all nice and secure behind a computer screen and just send off random, abusive reports, then do you. Personally, I need a break from the arguments and doom and gloom and did something a little fun and relevant to the forum discussions. It's nice to look at the past threads. Feel free to try to get me permabanned, though, if that's what you want. Maybe a mod will talk to you, though - tell you the real valid reasons behind sending a report, rather than wasting their time because you want to be offended.
If you want to bring some positivity, then why not create some new threads instead of spamming the forums with necros? Necroing threads doesn't generate positivity, spam is annoying and creates negativity.
And no, this necro didn't foster any discussion, nor did the one about the TV. They're just pointless.
I think there are more than enough new threads being posted as is. Any thread that I wanted to personally create, they've already been created. Here's a bigger question - why do folks like you, Joe, and Panda have such a huge issue with this, when the JP threads have a tendency to do the exact same thing, and there really are no issues over there? Or maybe I should revive the NA community vs JP community thread again and ask that question there?
Better yet, do you guys even know what spam actually is? You keep throwing that word out, but hmm...let's see what spam relevant to online forums actually is: related or unrelated advertisements, links to malicious websites, trolling, and/or abusive or otherwise unwanted information. And don't try to pull the argument that the last few words is related to these posts. If you're annoyed, then do the common sense thing and ignore it. It's not like you're being forced to read these posts. We're weren't distracting from any of the more recent threads that have come up either.
Little did she know that ring would become irrelevant as soon as the next patch came out...
Personally, the forums have been rather stale lately. It's been very entertaining seeing old threads pop up again, bringing back memories of the beta and early launch.
I've always found it weird how there seems to be this unspecified line between creating a thread too similar to another one and bringing one back up that relates to a topic you want to discuss if it's been off page 1 for too long. Wouldn't it be preferable, in terms of searching, to have -fewer- threads on the same topic to sift through? Even if you don't create a new thread on the same topic until after it's bumped off the first page, you're still going to eventually have a huge mess of threads when trying to search a particular topic. Or is it just a convenient "out of sight, out of mind" type thing?
When you bring up an old thread, it causes confusion as people don't read the date and treat it as if it was a recent thread. But no. That guy bought his TV 5 years ago. He isn't asking for help buying a new TV anymore.
What the JP do is completely different. They keep the same threads active over a long period of time. These threads have been dead for 5 years.
I think it's kind of telling that some people have nothing better to do than look for a reason to complain about someone else's good time.
This original thread was cute and funny, bringing it back offered not only that but nostalgia for players who played back then.
But by all means keep being mad about nothing, totally doesn't make you guys look boring at all.
Probably the out of sight, out of mind thing. Also probably folks who are looking for a reason to get offended about something that have a huge issue with the necros. It's probably why a certain individual says he's been reporting (I suppose getting someone permabanned is fine when something annoys folks, even though they really have nothing to be annoyed about).
I'm still failing to see your argument as a bad thing. Or why it annoys you to the point that you're (not you personally, I'm just speaking in general terms since someone said they've been sending reports on me) reporting me (we all know that the mods don't just delete topics...there's usually a permaban that follows). I dunno why it's so difficult to simply ignore it instead of sitting here arguing with me over something that really doesn't even need to be argued about. If folks go into a necro'd thread and treat it as a recent topic, they'll be corrected in the usual way that folks correct new forum members that don't know how to bypass the 1k word count, and then we'll either share our thoughts on whatever has been revived, or the thread will die out again like it died all those years ago. I didn't realize having a decent laugh about something many years ago was such a bad thing that the mods have to waste their time coming in here like this was a daycare and there were bad children looking back at old things that used to be talked about and having a somewhat decent conversation about it.
It's not like there's an overload of necro threads going on either - no more than ten at most, maybe slightly a bit more if that. It's not as if necros are drowning out recent threads. So again...why are some of you so offended about this that you find yourselves having no choice but to report?
Really? Do you know exactly how many threads spawned between August 2013 and December 2013? There are not many current active members who have been a part of the forums for that long. There are easily over 9000 threads created in that timeframe (take a look if you don't believe me. It starts from page 1769 and goes all the way to the last page, 2264). Do you know how many different topics spawned from everything in between?
I suspect that 50% is there's an unnecessarily antagonistic pair of players who are now openly admitting to abusing the report button, and in turn, we are responding by not allowing them to cyber-bully us - yes, I am going there because at the end of the day, they seem to be offended, so why not shut the 'offending necro players up' by openly, publicly saying they're being reported multiple times on the discussion forum just because they themselves don't like it.
The other part is that, yes, some of this is a fun little game, finding something that could be pretty relevant to discuss while also reviving it in hopes of a fairly good discussion. Fun fact: I didn't know race/gender stats was an overall thing with other MMOs until recently. I found this very thread we're in to be a welcome moment of humor that is now turning into a petty argument because folks are looking for the smallest of reasons to be offended. I also didn't know, in one of my other necros, that the dev team actually gave out T-shirt to participating in specific fights (Titan HM and Odin come immediately to mind).
Perhaps you misunderstood. Instead of necroing all of the threads, you can consolidate your discussion about all of these old threads into one thread. Then everyone who is interested can partake, and you don't fill up the entire first page with necros.
Kind of like a new "Tales of the Duty Finder" thread except you discuss tales of 2013.
This thread is actually 1 of 2 that are not ripe for discussion at all. That is spam and nothing you say will justify your reasoning. As has been said already if you want to generate some positivity or have fun in a way that isn't something to get you moderated then make a new thread that actually has something to discuss. Right now all you necromancers are doing is trolling.
Here you go.

Eh....again, there's over 9000 threads...It's not like I'm presently posting a necro every day, nor am I going overboard with it. If I filled the entire front page with old threads, that'd be one thing. But I'm not doing that. So I'm still failing to see why this offends you so much when I'm not even going overboard with it, nor am I spamming the heck out of this.
Trolling who, exactly? Do tell who specifically I am trolling, because in every thread I've revived, I have left a comment and is quite obviously seeking discussion on what exactly I have brought back, my most recent example being the Miqo'te discussion and MMOs locking stats behind race/gender. I have not revived a single thread to grief or annoy somebody. No, what you are doing is looking for a reason to say I am trolling because I refuse to let folks that keep threatening to report me intimidate me into conforming to their standards on the forum, especially as I'm not spamming, I'm not trolling, and each of my necros attempt to bring discussion for the current group of forum goers.
I copy this from the first sticky on this forum: Please do not make a simple post just for the purpose of "bumping" a thread.
Again try to justify it however you want but you and some others are clearly in violation of the forum rules and it is, quite frankly, bothering others. Evidence in the post under this one: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post4609728 and therefore can be considered trolling simply by necroing threads that have absolutely no business being necro'd.
Yeah, and it's off topic. That's another violation.
Not here to judge anyone's kink, we are do things to keep things fresh.
Now the thread I brought back from the grave is a troll thread, albeit a poor attempt to troll but a troll nonetheless aka pointless. What Kiyashi did was honestly genuinely funny and far from pointless since it was a friendly blast from the past for some people.
So are you saying I should report you for offtopic spam?
Let's also take your logic: any rule break is trolling. You're now trolling as well. Justify it how you like, you keep posting and responding as well.
Actually, you're the one generating negativity just because you want to share your own, it seems.
By all rights a mod should be here right now locking this thread and others involved and disciplining the necromancers. If that had happened this conversation would not be happening. I am honestly awaiting their arrival to quell this farce. In the meantime I exercise my right as a forum user to complain against the necromancy taking place, and I am not alone.
If I knew how to contact a mod directly I would be doing that instead.
So....basically, you're pairing me with somebody else's (I was wondering why TV kept getting brought up) necro thread and grouping us all together. That sounds suspiciously like you're just generalizing everyone into a single group. I didn't revive an old thread for the simple purpose of bumping a thread. I already told you why I revived some old posts. I engage in the discussion that does come from an old post when I bring it up...I invite other forum members to discuss the topic at hand with me.
But sure...go ahead, like I've been saying, do you. Just know that I'm not one to back down just because someone wants to attempt to bully me with fancy interpretations of what the forum rules are. And funnily enough, as was pointed above, this has now become a discussion that, by your definition, would fit the profile of active and current. So there you go. Back to the doom, gloom, and arguments I was attempting to temporarily avoid in the forums for a little while.
Also, you are well within your rights to complain. But understand that I am also well within my rights to report harassment and cyber-bullying if I get threatened with being reported one more time for something that is starting to get out of hand (fortunately, this is confined here). I won't, because I'm a sensible individual and I also have the common sense to ignore and scroll past topics if I'm not interested in them or annoyed by them.
And I will exercise my right as a forum user to tell you you're being a busybody and making a mountain out of a molehill.
Yep. You would go that far out of your way...instead of scrolling by on the New Posts page instead. You sure you don't actually enjoy this? You seem like you want to spend an awful lot of time, and your limited 20 posts per day, here.Quote:

EDIT: Also worth mentioning you yourself are one of the major reasons this thread is still on the front page. :thonk:
If she's in the wrong, you're in the wrong. If it's wrong to necro a thread, it's wrong to keep posting in it like you're doing right now. If she's a troll, you're a troll, and there is no spinning it any other way.
Partners in crime huh? You realize at this point you're one of them?
And you're no better. You're not even trying to justify playing at forum cop, while keeping this "farce" of a thread on the front page. You're a real one man army, ya know that? lolQuote:
Your attempts to defend this farce are generating said arguments you know. Some things are best left forgotten, and bumping years old threads is not the best way to try to bring positivity to the forums. It's just spam...
Look at that! Another post and another refresh to the top of the page. Good job! Let the records show Joe777 kept this necroed thread alive as long as possible. He's a necromancer with a guilty conscience.
Which, like Joe, you just added to. If it really bothered you so much, why not ignore it and hope it dies? And if you're really going to "silently report", why would you utterly fail at the silent part and post in one of the necro threads that you're reporting them?
Glad you bumped the thread for this. AGAIN.
You neither. I can't even believe you dislike the necroing, or how long it's taking mods to respond; you just won't let this thread die again.Quote:
Literally. I don't think you even have an argument anymore based on what you are saying.
What would the difference have been, practically speaking? There would still be a new thread on the front page that one could or could not look at depending on their mood. People could still join it, and derail it as you've admitted to doing, and spread a bunch of negativity. Maybe they wouldn't have been able to pretend to be Forum Cop while doing so.Quote:
If you really wanted to discuss such things why not simply consolidate them into a single thread, as has been stated already? That would not involve spam, not involve bumping dead threads, and can be positive in reception. Instead you tried it the least optimal way.
I consider it rude to keep bumping a necroed thread.Quote:
Clearly you have things wrong. I in no way have been rude at any point here, unless you consider me telling it like it is rude.
Yes, you're propogating the problem! You're keeping these threads on the front page instead of letting them die! GET THIS THROUGH YOUR HEAD LOLQuote:
Also the expression you keep using is actually more of an accurate statement towards the pile of necro'd threads. 1 or 2, not a big deal. 3 or 4, that's the molehill. As many as we have so far? Mountain. Can you blame me for trying to keep it from growing anymore than it has? Me and the others equally concerned about the flood of dead threads.
You can try to spin it around all you want but you are in the wrong and you know it. This thread's topic died years ago and is pointless to resume as it cannot be resumed, and again you know that. You are literally trolling right now trying to say anyone that disagrees with this necromancy and is calling you out on it is violating the forum rules and should be reported.
So are you, and your partners in crime. Just one more way for me to help suppress this if anything.
Your attempts to defend this farce are generating said arguments you know. Some things are best left forgotten, and bumping years old threads is not the best way to try to bring positivity to the forums. It's just spam...
Well if you haven't done any necros and don't plan to then you have nothing to worry about do you not? And trying to antagonize those that are attempting to address the necromancy makes you guilty by association as you are basically defending the necromancy. After all, why add to a fire you have nothing to do with?
