Ruining It For Everyone Else Since 2004
The Recycle Bin! You can’t go off topic in the off topic section.

The Recycle Bin! You can’t go off topic in the off topic section.

Found this deleted thread in my RSS this afternoon. Did you know that using an off topic section on a forum for help with something off topic is not allowed at the Myst Online forums?

Here is a post from GMZ regarding his deleted thread.

Alrighty, hello… So my thread that i posted here, in the off topic site, was just removed, for being off topic… I do not fully understand why, and the reason that I was given by the moderators do not make much sense. So, I’m here to rant to the moderators. In an open topic.

First off, if you do not wish people to have an off topic conversation, why would you bother having an off topic section of your site? The Off Topic Section of the Myst Online: Uru Live Forum to me, is basically saying “This is where you can go to talk about things that are NOT related to Myst, Online URU or Live at all…”
but apparently this assumption is wrong, So i’ve just made an ass out of me and uption. Next off, They could’ve given me a warning on the forum… Something simple like; “Hey… keep on topic!” which, once again, I’m in the off topic section of the forum, which apparently is erroneous in title.
Anyway, the point I am trying to get at; This Forum is wrongly named. It shouldn’t be called “Off Topic”, seeing as the reason I was claiming that the site was myst related, by posting it in the off topic section of this forum.

(I posted it in every forum i’m a member on, for the record… well, save for Slackers. because they don’t give a gorram shit about me)

moderator note
Hi,
We will remove your thread from the MOUL forums.
At the beginning we thought it is OK, just a request for some folks to go and test something. But now this is developing into a debugging/support forum for an application/game and looks like a misuse of the resources here. We think that you should be providing your own services to support your activity rather than piggy-backing off the MOUL forums, especially since your site has no connection with Uru/Myst other than your own involvement.
Thanks for understanding,
The Moderation/Admin Team
Veralun

It’s nice to see that Veralun Verylooney is alive and well! 😀

I think this is the first time I’ve made it onto any of your blogs… at least not being reffered to as “Pissant” or “asshat”. But yah, Seriously… what is the use of the Off-Topic thread if you’re not allowed to post off-topic threads?

… I just searched Veralun… are you like, Crushing on him Tomala? I mean… It’s easier to just ask the dude out, chances are the pretentious prick is single… I think you two would make a great couple too; You’re both power hungry, you both want to rule the world…
