Maybe, its time to stop the Word association game?

[loell]

many of us enjoyed Word association (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86033) game. but maybe its time to stop :-k ? it does surely waste bandwidth, and its only use is for bean multiplication.

just a suggestion ;)

Edit:

Nevermind
people care less about bandwidth usage , so i guess, let administrators decide

[yabbadabbadont]

Spoilsport. :p :D

Bean multiplication only means something if your profile is configured to display them... ;)

[katgfan]

Killjoy :p

Bean multiplication is doesnt really mean anything to me, but if is convertible to cash that might mean something.

I use the game to kill time in my boring job.

[yabbadabbadont]

Besides, it's fun to see how people from around the world interpret the same words differently. One of those cultural thingymabobs. :D

[loell]

actually , the word association could really qualify for the backyard, i mean it has nothing to do with linux/ubuntu/ open source topics , i always see it, when i click new post. will it ever end?

[yabbadabbadont]

It probably does belong in the backyard. I guess it will end when the mods decide that it will. (but some of them participate there too, so I wouldn't hold my breath ;))

[loell]

there are more games that ubuntuforum users can think of , i just thought its time to move on.

How about a Linux/FOSS only word association thread. That would be combo funny and educational.

[yabbadabbadont]

Don't play then and move on... :)

Agreeable. Let's hear what the mods will say.


i always see it, when i click new post. will it ever end?

That no one can tell.

[BLTicklemonster]

That no one can tell...

...things which others...

[yabbadabbadont]

...things which others...

... may decide ...

[fuscia]

if it's a bandwidth issue, just dump everything but the current last 3 or 4 pages. otherwise, frankly, who cares?

[katgfan]

... may decide ...

...to still continue...

[loell]

Don't play then and move on... :)

i haven't played it for awhile now.

[yabbadabbadont]

...to still continue...

... while others will complain ...

[steven8]

It's harmless. It's fun. It doesn't touch any religious or political nerves as so many other threads eventually do. Maybe that's why there are 13377 posts (that one was mine). people need a little non-potent release. Let it go.

[loell]

well, i'll rest my case, if administrators won't care about bandwith issues.

[Frak]

I stopped doing it, because it felt unfair to me to get beans for not helping, at least disable bean count in there, you don't have to end it, just disable the beans (I have experience in VBullettin).

[katgfan]

... while others will complain ...

...some will ignore...

[yabbadabbadont]

...some will ignore...

... and invent a new game ...

[slimdog360]

I think its cool

[katgfan]

I dont mind. If you want take all my bean count i gained there.

[katgfan]

... and invent a new game ...
...which is cooler but annoying...

[loell]

geez, there is so much reaction, in just a floating idea ;)
ok then, seems nobody won't care, so ok, i will let go :rolleyes:

[yabbadabbadont]

...which is cooler but annoying...

... and continues past the point of making the point ...

[jpeddicord]

well, i'll rest my case, if administrators won't care about bandwith issues.
I really think there are more important things to worry about than bandwidth issues. Trust me - they got the servers covered. ;)

Besides, if no one was in the word association thread, then we'd all just be hanging out in another random part of the forums.

[katgfan]

... and continues past the point of making the point ...

...just to make the thread starter let it go...

[yabbadabbadont]

...just to make the thread starter let it go...

... now he wishes that he had never complained ...

[katgfan]

... now he wishes that he had never complained ...
... as the floating idea was blown to thin air ...

[yabbadabbadont]

... as the floating idea was blown to thin air ...

... at least it got him out of our hair. :lol:

I'm done. ;)

[loell]

... now he wishes that he had never complained ...

it was never a complain, its a suggestion, i believe in helping others , or tackle more relevant issues, than posting endless words. on and on

with this suggestion, i know, that we might never share that same principles.

so, like you said go on now.

[RAV TUX]

red

[yabbadabbadont]

I would guess that you are one of those people who light the charcoal in their barbeque grills with gasoline... :lol:

[loell]

[KiwiNZ]

The OP made a reasonable request which he is entitled to do . There is no need to roast him.

Thank you

[steven8]

[yabbadabbadont]

welcome

dead (horse, beating of) ;)

[loell]

welcome

are you insulting me? you should behave as a staff, you should be fair.

you know very well, that i was addressing kwinz.

this behaviour is not acceptable!

i even tolerated you, when you post "red" , signifying the continuation of word association, in this thread.

[RAV TUX]

are you insulting me? you should behave as a staff, you should be fair.

loell I didn't mean to insult you....just my sense of humor...I like your idea and I posted an inspired idea built on yours....

I meant all at once a pun, with welcome,....and welcome from the staff to you...

lighten up buddy...you have a great idea...

again I think:

(I suggest delete the old thread and restart it monthly, recycle it each month like the desktop screenshot thread)

[katgfan]

Cool down guys

[loell]

still its inapropriate, in the past pages, i've been roasted , but i continued formally as i can, i am serious about the topic.

but you showed your unfairness, by making it a joke.

[RAV TUX]

look you have a good idea...but you really need to lighten up...

[loell]

ok, i am now. a lesson, don't make a joke when a thread is meant to be serious, you are a staff, we users look up to you.

[KiwiNZ]

Loell , I am sorry if you feel you have been insulted by a staff member.

I can assure you Rav Tux would never have intentionally insulted you , I know Rav and that is not him at all.

[BLTicklemonster]

who is making a joke?

[RAV TUX]

ok, i am now. a lesson, don't make a joke when a thread is meant to be serious, you are a staff, we users look up to you.

Again Loell I extend my apologies to you, even acknowledged you have a great idea...I am not sure what more you want from me...

[yabbadabbadont]

still its inapropriate, in the past pages, i've been roasted , but i continued formally as i can, i am serious about the topic.

but you showed your unfairness, by making it a joke.

I don't know about the others, but I was just playing in good humor. If you felt insulted by our banter, then I apologize.

[loell]

i apologize too, that i got heated up. i now request that the thread be close

[RAV TUX]

i apologize too, that i got heated up. i now request that the thread be close

loell again I do sincerely apologize...I will close the thread as requested...I do think you seriously have an awesome idea....and Thank You
