I find it somewhat annoying that the mods around here are always so quick to shut down threads. It's one thing if people are discussing illegal activity, but just because you find a thread long and lacking content seems a bit extreme. If people don't like the thread, it will die a quick death as it rides the wave to the second page. Otherwise, I think it is safe to assume people are as bored with the state of discussion around here as I am. If people choose to express themselves with inane and worthless posts, so be it. It's like reading pulp fiction or watching Jason X, or masturbating. There's no inherent point, but there's also no inherent harm.

Lay off a little.

It's a moderated forum. I appreciate the mods saving my time from idiocy. How many times do you click a topic link... Then realize you've completely wasted your time. It's no big deal for you fat-pipe people, but some of us slumming it in Dial-up Land hate it. You see a topic has 40-something postings, figure it's interesting. Nope. Just more name-calling and BS.

I'll never get that :30 of my life back! That really burns my *** !

Well, I ***ume that the moderators simply want to avoid OS X General becoming a free-for-all, which might happen if they let everything stay in there...

(but please, could the general and software forums be merged?)

I can't believe that <font color = red>gorgonzola</font> has done another stupid thing. Closing down 10.2 thread for no particular reason other than lack of content is insane. That thread gave me a good laugh though.

<font color = red>gorgonzola</font> like Ca$h better than 10.2 thread... hmm..

You don't by any chance mean assassinate do you?

Oh, and we are all clever enough to know that censoring is done to *** surrounded by two spaces aren't we? If I was to say sucksfatass, for example, that would work.

Well, as this is clearly a suggestion, it doesn't belong in here. I'm moving it to Suggestions and Comments.
