Monkey butlers

Omg Threadlock!!!112!!@13@!!! Lol

Since this has come up a few times in the past few days, what is the proper etiquette for responding to old posts? According to The Rules, we shouldn't be starting new threads about old topics, but on some, but not all occassions, posting to old threads is condemned. My impression over the past few years has been that there is a soft time limit (about three months) during which topics expire and warrant a new thread, but it would nice if it were official.

The three month rule is what I generally stick to unless I have something valuable to add in a sticky (ie: ebooks). The other main exception to that is if a thread has been dead for a month but it was a thread that should have died (ie: the thread where someone who will remain nameless was giving it to the mormons on the board and it turns into mudslinging, the same with the womans meet thread from last year that totally degenerated).

Ok

PS: Why has the administrator disabled the ability to delete your own posts? Wouldn't that help with removing some of the garbage?

I don't believe it would. People can edit their own posts for a certain amount of time but I'm against someones ability to delete them and I'll tell you why - There's no take backs, if you post something and you regret saying it later on, you should have thought about it more before you originally did it. I've done that myself before (insert foot in mouth) on this forum.

And that's one of the way's I judge how I will respond to someone. If they make a post that is really stupid I will usually go back and check what kind of post they made in the past to see where I place them in my mind, with the ability to delete threads I wouldn't be able to do this or use previous post as evidence.

Hope that helps.

What's worse is when you have forum regulars (read: cotman) who reply to their resurrection of an old thread like nothing is wrong....

Bungholio! I suggested the user has a fettish for monkey love, and then asked what we do to bad monkeys, and an expectation that they would reply "spank them" and make this even better, but *no* my plan is foiled.

[Then it would be easy to say bad monkeys re-open dead threads and contemplate monkey love.]

But just for HighWiz, next time, I will be more verbose. ]:>

Someone must have posted a link to the forums somewhere else.

Impossible to walk in this muck.

What in the bloody hell is causing people to resurrect long dead posts today?

[TheCotMan]

i would love that monkey.

Monkey love? Hmmm. And what would happen to the bad monkey butlers?

[Be_Th3_Penguin]

Sweet... my life will not be complete until I have a pic with her...

"Microslut"?
Che, you're sick...
And I like that in a DC person.

Y'know, I could probably get Bridget the Midget in for StripperCon.

[erehwon]

That would rule!! We could have Bridget the Midget as a ring girl!
I remember the days when there would be at least one midget battle royal a week on TV... damn political correctness!

Maybe it's just me, but haven't we already covered the monkey butler scene with lackeys?

Lackeys don't have near the class as do monkey butlers.

What size tophat do you wear?

[Xakep]

I think that each DefCon woman needs her own monkey butler, and at night, we should train them to be ninja monkey butlers, and we will compete them against each other. And the woman will the best control over her monkey (this sounds so wrong already) wins.

Or maybe I'll just use mine to keep me well supplied with alcohol.
