NationStates Jolt Archive

It was a week on some general threads, but they die quicker now. So has the definition changed? If not should it be? Maybe to three days [unless you were a poster in the thread and had a three day ban, then went to find all posts by [your name] on your profile and answered an unread [by you] post]?

Dig them all up.....we can have a Thriller revival :)

Resurrect 'em, biatches.

Let 'em all come up. This forum no longer matters.

Was that reference to an old thread? I am confused:confused:.

Thriller. Song and music video by the late Michael Jackson. Involved zombies.

IIRC the cutoff is 12 days or so... if a mod sees this, they can give the exact number.

OOOhhhhhh! Zombie threads(living dead). I get it. :cool:

We need another poll option for "this poll is shit".

You are just saying that because you don't like me and think I am an immature nutcase.

i think you can pretty much gravedig to your heart's content now.

Last thread alive. Ftw.

Wow. This must be a record. Maybe this NSG will die this month. I am going on vacation July 12th to 19th.

This will probably be my last post before moving on..
*sniff*

Hmm.... I guess I shall never get around to using the phrase "nuttier than Svalbardania's avatar"... unless...

...What's up with those scientologists, eh? I feel that they're nuttier than Svalbardania's avatar! :p

Oh no you did-ent! *waggles fingers in that ghetto way. You know, like Queen Latifah does when she's watching two busty women slag each other off. Actually, has that ever helped? It only seems to exacerbate the situation. Surely she could utter some calming words. Maybe bake a cake? Something along those lines anyway. It would certainly do more good than her further infuriating two already angered women*

I will be away for lunch and then again for supper on Saturday July 4th. If it rains I will only be gone for lunch. Because if it's nice in the evening, there will be fireworks.:) You all know why. sing-songy:wink:;):p

There ain't no exact number. It depends on which forum and which thread. NS roleplays have been known to lapse for three months and then take off again. Some current-affairs General threads are dead after a week. A spammy thread is dead on the day of the last post.

*sounds Last Post*

Careful people, there's a mod in the thread now.

I think I am leaving NS forever.

I think I am leaving NS forever.

But no-one gives a shit.

If you're all still posting over here, I think it's more a case of NS leaving you.

NNLDI, you are the lucky recipient of what is probably my last (and consequently mild) moderator action on Jolt: you're flaming. Cut it out.

Ssshhh, you shouldn't declare it your last because some people may respond by mildly flaming you! :eek:

I was just reacting to being unable to access the website at that time. Guess I am not

But, by the time a mod sees this, it would be gravedigging for the mod to respond...

What mods?

No mods, no masters?

Oh, they're still here, still watching, but they're just biding their time, waiting for the opportune moment before they...uh...do absolutely nothing. Yes, that's right. Nothing.

What mods?
Did the mods lose their powers over here or are you playing a joke on us?

They have not lost their powers, just their will to use them.

Yeah.....what Mods??? :p

BTW, I really miss the multi-quote feature over at the new stomping grounds.

<--- Notice the user title?

Probably a bit of retaliation for Max redirecting the NS2 address back to Nationstates since Jolt closed that piece of cr-I mean under-appreciated effort and pointed the address to one of their other games.

Is Max mad? [Violet] better not see that.

I think there has been some sort of official severance between Jolt and NS, seeing as I can post with Adunabar again.

At this point, IMO the mods should lift all restrictions on gravedigging. It's not like posters are using a huge amount of space these days. :(

Well, there has been an official split between NS1 and Jolt. NS1 is no longer hosted in any way by Jolt/OMAC. Both the game and new forums are self-hosted nowadays.

Not much I can do anymore; anything I say I can't enforce over here. Granted, we have no idea the temperament of the new overlords of the forum since the NS mods are apparently no longer in charge here.

All I can say is just remember what happened to Daistallia.

So, will this forum close soon? I have been camping and just got back home yesterday.

what happened to Daistallia?

What is she talking about? I bet Daistallia was banned.

I gravedug one of my own threads once, but it was such that it had updates and it was a general thread too. I didn't know about gravedigging until that thread.

Daistallia rather loudly proclaimed a particularly negative opinion of Nationstates 2, encouraging other players to likewise share their generally negative impressions of NS2 on game review sites and the like.

With no real warning given, Daistallia was IP banned. Not by us, but by the Jolt staff, without so much as a message to any of the NS mods that "o hai, we're in ur forum, banning ur user." When Dai inevitably contacted us asking WTF was going on, we thought a short term ban or something hadn't auto-expired (one of many unhappily common problems) and the ban was rescinded. Which was then followed by some behind-the-scenes retaliation and restriction of NS mod powers, lots of negotiation, and finally convincing the Jolt staff to let Daistallia back onto the forums, albeit with a new account.

At which point, it was decided that we needed to get the forums off here and the sooner, the better. It was not the first time that the Jolt staff tried to elbow in on our turf, but it was the most invasive and the most serious, and we determined we could not trust said staff with our users and our forums any longer. After that, we no longer discussed sensitive information in our secret mod forum; such brainstorming was taken offsite to prevent Jolt/OMAC from seeing it and/or stealing our ideas, and things were put into motion to get the new forum up and running.

Do I need a tinfoil hat?

Do I need a tinfoil hat?
But is it really tinfoil hat paranoia when they have stolen stuff before? Max talked about it in a news post; they stole stuff from somebody else :p

So it really was a conspiracy?

* obligatory tin foil hat picture*

So, spamfest time? Yay!

http://bunksite.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/spam.jpg

Maybe I can make it to 1,000 posts before the Jolt NS forum closes.

Probably, but why would you want to?

Because it's there.

Just like swimming Mt. Everest, or climbing the Atlantic Ocean. You don't need a reason, you just do it.

Didn't Neil Armstrong say that before he floated on Mercury?

Damn straight he did; after singing It's a Wonderful World you need something extra to top it off.

Would you eat spam? What is it anyway?

Spam? It's Spiced Ham, a (so I've heard) tasty meat dish that is usually used as a supplement when other meats aren't available.

Would you eat spam? What is it anyway?

Spam is ground pork and ham, so it's kind of like a canned solidified meatloaf. Personally I don't like the flavor, it's an off taste. Other people seem to like it, since it's been selling since before WWII.

Spam is awesome, it is the best food invented. Ever.

I thought maybe it was hamster meat lol. My dad said that was a possability

My father once blew up a can of spam by throwing it in a fire. True Story.

tits or it didnt happen

I enjoy spam in small doses. Too much makes me feel a bit ill.

Spam's dank.

Sure. Let's go with that. :fluffle:

Spam you eat or NSG spam? I don't know which you mean. I thought food spam might be US and maybe Canada food.

Is this to much of a grave dig?
