Do the words "Chocolate Frisbee" mean anything to you? Think about it...

Be careful not to hit the fan with it. People may get the wrong idea.

Just checking to make sure the topic hasn't changed. Clearly, encouragement didn't work for one reason or another. What kind of a system would you like and why?

I stand behind TheSchaef's decision according to Romans 13. Speaking of zilch, that's what he's getting paid. This site is a blessing, and nothing more. Don't start thinking it's an entitlement.

Good for you? How is this relevant?

You were the one who suggested my decision was not so based. If it wasn't relevant, you would not have brought it up.

What I want to know what we did to have it taken away.

2. Hobbit was not the cause of the shutdown, the argument on his thread was. An argument in which he had zero involvement.

The argument on that thread centered on the use of offensive language, and the responsibility of Christians to hold one another accountable (or lack thereof). That argument didn't have anything to do with the "encouragement system", so I don't understand why it is being blamed for the system being shut down.

Hey,

Probably because of this quote lifted from the last post in that thread:

Quote

An example: the encouragement system is not perfect but it's the best thing we have immediately available with the current version of this software. Some like it, some do not. Some have seen fit to argue about it, others to try and game it for purposes not entirely clear to me, and still others prefer simply to sabotage it. The purpose of this system was never to cause contention among members of the board, yet it seems to be an unavoidable consequence. Therefore I am shutting it down immediately. Any issues not related to the now-defunct encouragement system I advise you to take to PMs.

Tschow,

Alex Olijar

So he took it off only because a couple people didn't like it.

It was my fault, so send all hate mail to me. Feel free to use any language you find appropriate, as long as it in a PM. If you are glad to see it go, then mail me gifts such as Sabbath Breaker x5, Carried into Exile x5, or Little Caesar's Gift Cards. If the means are available, you can also add credit onto my GameStop Edge card.

I love little Caesars so much!

That is fine if you did not like it but why did the Schaef take it off because of 1 person.

I'm glad that you chose to repeat the decimal 3 rather than 6, otherwise that would have opened up the whole Satan thing again.

I feel cut and pointed at. But, not to worry. At least you didn't eat unclean meat.

BlazerCC · « **Reply #65 on:** July 14, 2010, 09:31:29 PM »

Its done, its gone.

There is nothing more we can do to get the old system back.

There dose look like a chance that we as a community can front a better system and mabey get that up and running.

With that lets move on!

BlazerCC · « **Reply #66 on:** July 19, 2010, 09:43:20 PM »

I have been gone for a few days and came back, and noticed that someone did manage to figure out a by post system.

When did it go up?
How has it been going?

The Schaef · « **Reply #67 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:03:15 PM »

About an hour and a half. No one has been stabbed yet, so I'm cautiously optimistic. I still would prefer the flexibility that I would get with a pending upgrade but we'll see how this goes.

Yay for my favorite Tyrannical Overlord! (Spellcheck almost had you as a Titanically Overlord)

Is it still running? I don't see it in Metallistic theme.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #70 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:31:20 PM »

That's because you have a lame theme.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #71 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:32:14 PM »

I -1'd your post because you dissed my favorite theme!

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #72 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:33:21 PM »

I minus'd your post because I have a personal vendetta* against you.

*note: Not really, me and Lambo are good friends

The Schaef · « **Reply #73 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:48:52 PM »

It works in most themes but not all.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #74 on:** July 19, 2010, 10:51:07 PM »

it's only working in certain boards for the Tolkien theme.
