thanks Splat you've been true gold so far!

Crashpunk · #3 09-26-2009, 07:49 AM

Very useful links! Thanks!

Glcelebi, please notice that this thread is for fancorner links, not 'whatever I feel like' links.

To warn you, no attempt at introducing any sort of forum or group to fulfil the same function as Oddworld Forums but with a new creator in charge has never gone well, and usually ends in a lot of people being rather rude to the person who created the new group. So I seriously recommend you forget about this idea; it is not at all a good idea.

There already is an OWF facebook group, if you care to look for it.

Dear Splat
I would appreciate that you do not say things in such a rude manner. I will not post links again, this wat not intended to replace oddworld forums, it never was intended to replace this site. It was never a 'whatever i feel like' link, it was indeed a link made by me, the fan and was meant to be a nice thing for other fans to join or look at, it was meant to carry on the oddworld legacy in my own way, it never expands as far as the oddworld forums do in functions. Now i would appreciate it if you do not post such rude comments again. Even if there is an OWF facebook group, i really do not care, this was a group merely intended for fans, they have their own choice if they want to join it, so i would much appreciate it if you keep your comments to yourself if this is how you talk to members. Thankyou
Glcelebi

Okay:
1) Splat is the king of polite, letter-style complaints. Don't be moving into his territory.
2) He wasn't being rude. If you think he was, try visiting the rest of the forums. It gets much worse.
3) Don't be melodramatic.
4) You broke a rule by posting a link that was not relaed to the thread's purpose i.e. spam. Splat just did his job by pointing it out.
5) It's probably not a good idea to tell Mods how to do their job.
6) If you didn't care, you shouldn't have bothered.
7) Oddworld fans have the forums. Those who want to show their loyalty in social networks have the respective groups.

Sorry about that rant/spam Splat, it just needed to be said.

STM · #7 03-24-2010, 12:39 PM

Yeh, what he said! What is this about anywho

glcelebi · #8 03-24-2010, 01:49 PM

then i apologise for any misunderstanding or confusion that i may have caused if any by what i had said, maybe i had just misunderstood what he was trying to say, i also never intended my links to be considered as spam, if it was, then i apologise for the whole misunderstanding.

Too late...you've been condemned to the mercy of the tomato wielding peasants.

By the way Splat is that MMO thing still active?

Splat · #10 03-24-2010, 03:32 PM

Revive the thread; with any luck it'll prompt Aji to upload the dream again.

I accept your apology, glcelebi.
(And cheers, Meech

Please remove this post and same for the human (Infraction) .

Thanks in advance.

Guys, ask things in the right threads. Scrabtrapman, if you're making a theme then I suggest you make a thread for it. I also suggest you learn to use something better than MSPaint (e.g. anything). If you share my inability to motivate yourself to learn then don't bother trying.

Novaman, don't spam.

Wow I wish I read this when I first signed into this site-so many silly mistakes! Thanks !

STM · #16 05-23-2016, 11:51 AM

Gunnr, for future reference it's considered good forum etiquette not to post in threads that are five years old. Make sure you check the date of the thread you're searching, especially in Fan Corner as you can revive really old threads here by mistake.
