"Pump it up": The Thread That Wasn't

pinback · Post by **pinback** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 9:55 am

This is the thread in which I pump it up.

Somebody get me started, here. I wish to pump it up.

First, you've got to get MAD.

Okay, the first thing we do to PUMP IT UP is to go to Best Buy and finally pick up GTA:VC. I'm gonna fucking flamethrower some motherfuckers tonight, you can bet on it.

First, you've got to get mad.

And JQW, I will fucking delete every post you try to put in this thread, as soon as I fucking see it, so just save your breath.

Please shunt messages that you feel are inappropriate into their own thread and refrain from deleting them outright.

Will you please answer your emails? At least the last one, subject: "How?"

And I AM going to delete this (my) post as soon as its not necessary anymore, so don't get your panties in a bunch over it.

You people are NOT helping me PUMP IT UP.

I am trying to PUMP IT UP here, and you are holding me back.

And JQW, go ahead and post that fucking outrageous, inconceivably horrendous post again, so I can move it somewhere it belongs and it'll be saved for all eternity.

I'd hate to lose any of your timeless wisdom in a fit of my own disgust.

That's a serious no-no. We're *trying* to get JQW to post here. I can't remember the last time a post was deleted on groucho...

Regardless, I don't care who it is, you dont fucking delete posts.

I'd delete every goddamn post in this thread, except I have a grudging respect for ICJ, and would prefer that he not be displeased with me, even though I thoroughly disagree with this policy.

Because, in real life, you DO fucking delete posts. Posts posted with the intent of DAMAGING a BBS, which is exactly what JQW's was. I was beginning an exciting new thread, with a lot of promise, and he posted something, not to be entertaining or to liven up the debate, but to damage the thread. I was trying to protect this place from terrorist attacks, which is what I consider posts like that.

The sysop of an enemy BBS, coming on here and trying to fuck up something that we've got going. Now, tell me exactly what the "no-no" was.

(Jonsey just deleted a post on here, I thought you all should know that.)

I agree with you. JQW posted only out of malice there.

You didn't know how to give his message the heave-ho, so you nuked it. I just e-mail you with directions on how to do it, so now you know. No biggie.

I do not disagree with you. Certainly, the posts made by both myself and your own self (back in the day) were not done simply to troll or aggravate.

Deleting posts is very weak, so that's why I'd prefer that posts which qualify get kicked over to the Troll Room.

NOW... with all that said, please feel free to throw whichever messages you feel do not contribute to this thread into its own trainwreck and chuck it wherever you damn well please. Hell, send it on over to the Orc's Head Tavern and make it Gerrit's problem if you like.

I hit submit twice. I deleted my own post within TWO seconds. How the hell were you quick enough to see it?

Are you going to get back to pumping it up or not?

Ice Cream Jonsey · Post by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Wed Jul 02, 2003 11:34 am

Anyway.

If all messages past the second one are not in their own thread in the next few minutes I'll just do it for you.

It would be nice if you did it, as it would demonstrate that you have learned how to use the software.

Yeah, it was a big thing when you started this board. And it was a big thing when he registered. And posted.

Was it not?

Fucking ASSHOLE.

No, my first (and continuous) instinct was to blow it straight away. Which I did.

I do not disagree with you. Certainly, the posts made by both myself and your own self (back in the day) were not done simply to troll or aggravate.

There wouldn't even have BEEN a BBS there if it wasn't for us. Jesus Christ!

Here, we'll have to agree to disagree. Deleting posts is strong.

But, I shall do as you wish. By your command.

I'm a BASE MODERATOR.

That's my job.

That's what I do.
