Vnzi was just a forum regular, no one huge. I exaggerated my response a bit for humor, Vnzi was more or less just a familiar name to see in the forums, but I remember enjoying their posts, and its always a bit disheartening to lose a user you enjoy knowing, even if only a bit.

Please, please, DO point out in what way your response was accurate. Exactly where in the OP did I complain about my 11,000-post-dream was shattered?

"I was mildly excited about 11,000 posts" ... "And yet, sixty of my posts were deleted today." ... "Why are moderators intent on slowing down users from reaching these milestones?"

And so forth.

Admittedly, I was, which is reasonable. I see you chose to ignore the word "mildly."

"And yet, sixty of my posts were deleted today."

I don't know how many of your posts get deleted, but that's an exceptionally large amount of posts to be deleted in one day. Something as unusual as that is reasonable to be curious about.

"Why are moderators intent on slowing down users from reaching these milestones?"

I had seen this happen many times before someone reached a milestone, and wondered reasonably (noticing a theme, here?) if that was something that was meant to be done and if so, what the reason behind it was.

You seem to jump to an awful lot of conclusions.

Yea, no.

From what Evark said on Raab's news post, liljim has a system in place that will remove threads from time to time that fira criteria of some sort.

As I said.

Says the guy who jumps to the conclusion that moderators specifically delete his posts just to keep him from that elusive 11,000 as a sort of moderator hobby. But of course now they have an incentive to do it for the lols.

Also seems someone cares an awful lot for someone who claims not to care so much. Just saying.

This is very interesting, as I collect old threads that I feel are important to the history of Newgrounds. (They are sadly disappearing..) Does liljim have a list of these threads next to be put on the chop block?

This happens all the time. I should have been to 5,900 BBS posts a couple weeks ago if some of the posts weren't deleted. And right now my number of posts dropped to 5,880. I wonder how many posts I'd have if none of them were deleted.

Something happens multiple times, it's reasonable to assume there's cause for i.t

I don't think any of the moderators are half as childish as you.

Devoted to my post count? Not really. Curious about sudden changes that match others before? Yeah. Again. Reasonable.

Well, shit, here's another. Someone messaged me and apparently the user Addict has elected to leave Newgrounds on a "permanent hiatus" and had all of his posts (and therefore threads) deleted.

Vnzi and Addict, two forum regulars who were actually pretty cool.

Ah yes. Any who doesn't agree with you is childish and/or stupid. Please enlighten me oh wise young sage! Why is this such a common theme among guys who are around your age? It's a bit annoying to tell the truth.

It's like wham you're technically an adult so you just immediately assume everything you think is right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disagrees is stupid or childish. You probably also make it a point to over-emphasize your "adultness" at every opportunity.

Why at this rate you'll probably become one of those "old" 20-somethings! Maybe you too can complain how you can't lift a mere box or walk a mile in a few years due to advanced "age".

Sometimes I come to these forums just to watch people make asses of themselves in various ways. This is one of the most diverse threads of self-assery I've seen in a while. I commend you all.

Damn, that sucks. I'm not sure I recognize those names tho, did they use the BBS much?

How old does a post have to be before a BBS mod can't delete it.

No, anyone who does something obnoxious for no other reason than to spite another person they've never met and don't know is childish.

I don't know how old you are. I don't care how old you are. You're acting childish. I'm not right because I'm 18 years old, I'm just telling you that you've jumped to several false conclusions and you're frantically trying to back your way out of what you've said by justifying it with arguments that make no sense.

Are you really that insecure about your age? I meant what I said, I don't care if you're younger than me, I didn't even know until just now. It's really not that big of a deal, it doesn't mean anything. I just think you're acting like a dumbass. That has no age restrictions.

You have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now. All I can say is all my points continue to be proven. And I'll laugh my ass off even harder if this thread gets deleted as well so you lose more precious posts. Even moreso if you then make another thread about it.

Well that's okay, it happens to the best of us. I'll let you know if 11,000 posts get deleted, though! You keep those fingers crossed!

I had around four 10,000th posts. I actually liked that sitting on the edge of 10k because I know some people are obsessed with postcounts.

Well, man; at least you get to go to the 10k forum.

it's my dream to go there.

My wet dream.

Just play along I know the 10k forum doesn't exist.

Vnzi

Quite simply you are assuming you're some sort of authority on "adultness" just because you happen to barely cross that age line so you'll make it a point to call anyone or anything you disagree with "childish" to emphasize your newfound "adultness", as if that's actually an insult to anyone outside your age demographic. It's like when the big kids take extra time to emphasize how big they are and how they're not a little kid like those other kids. It's cute.

And you do care about your postcount, which is fine. Everything you've done in this thread proves it right down to the very thread's existence. But what's funny is how adamantly you'll oppose this notion.

Let's just say you have a not-uncommon mindset for your age. Namely, that you think you're so smart and by extension everyone who disagrees with you must be stupid. And I bet you also think the things you grew up with are so much better than those of previous generations.

Probably future generations, too.

Dude. Seriously. I don't care how old you are. You're acting ridiculously insecure about your age right now, defending yourself and talking about how you're just as adult as I am. I'm being completely, totally 100% honest, I don't care that I'm technically, legally an adult, and I don't care that you're younger. That's not why I think you're a fucking idiot.

Calling someone childish doesn't necessarily imply that it is their age that makes them childish, or my age makes me not childish. I have no clue how you're not getting this.

Scarface: Almost at 11,000 posts. Almost. Yusss!
Scarface: Oh no! My postcount is disappearing! Better make a thread about it.
Scarface: Hmm. I don't want it to look too obvious I care so I better pretend I don't care about postcount. Bingo!
NeonSpider: *points out irony of original post*
Scarface: You just didn't read it. Yeah! That's it. (heh heh that'll show 'im)
NeonSpider: Yeah actually I did.
Scarface: So you're just stupid? (A hurr hurr. Best comeback evar!)
NeonSpider: Not at all.
Scarface: In what way was it relevant?
NeonSpider: *points out relevancy*
Scarface: Well I don't care about postcount! (post +1)
NeonSpider: Actually you kinda do.
Scarface: No I don't! (post +1)
Scarface: (Oh crap he's got me. Luckily I'm 18 now. Better pull the childish card. It works on all of my friends!)
Scarface: Yeah? Well, you're just childish. (heh heh. That'll show 'im! Can't beat that! I'm so adult these days. Gotta show how adult I am! I'm so not a little kid anymore! Scarface is adult movie right? Gotta like adult stuff now!)
NeonSpider: Actually you're just acting exactly like someone of your age group trying to prove their "adultness" due to recent adult status.
Scarface: (Oh crap he's got me good this time! That's exactly me! I have to keep convincing myself I'm an adult now by calling anyone who disagrees with anything I say "childish". Oh I'm so insecure in my recent adult status. What should I do? Oh I know!)
Scarface: You're just insecure of your age and I'm older than you. (Because that's the only possible reason right? Oh man! I'm good. I sure showed him! I love making blanket assumptions based on my newfound adult status! It couldn't possibly be that I'm wrong? I'm 18! I can't possibly be wrong about anything!)

Scarface postcount + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Scarface: I know it doesn't, I never said-
Neon Spider: STOP ACTING LIKE BEING AN ADULT MAKES YOU RIGHT ALL THE TIME!

Alright, fine, keep going back to age if you want. Just saying that you don't have to be as insecure as you are.

Because she was a female.

Over the years, I have had at least hundreds of posts disappear. I have mentioned it before, but most did not care. The other day I lost about forty more. I can understand what the OP is talking about.
