No one did. I posted that myself. I was originally brainwashed by Tater, now I am free and thinking for myself.

*digs around in the back pages of GM (boy, this really does get a lot of traffic!)*
I think the best example of GM's importance comes from the admins themselves. Ben posted this after Tater's April Fools day prank when people started leaving because of it. I think this about sums it up. Quote:

CBG why are you so mean?
You do realise by putting that remark about you not listening to our opinions you made everyone feel worthless dont you? And not taking into account people's opinions in narrowminded. and just to remind you: yeah you, darth tater, hobbit, bmilder, SHG etc... have the right to do what ever you want because its your board. but we are all the entmoot. it wouldnt be much of a moot if there was just treebeard talking to himself would it? I'm off to cool down now but dont think you're getting rid of me because NO WAY am i being driven out of one of favourite places to be!

HOBBIT, if I may ask, why has the Anti-theist thread undertaken padlock status?

I put some additional comments on the The decline of entmoot thread.
This is I thought should be stated here though. This is what Tater said on 9/20/1999 Quote:

I think that the admins still determine what to close and what not, and they actually deside the most of the desisions. I think they needs to do it and not to ask as on all the unimportant desisions but this doesn't mean they have to deside this desision and because of this Tater asked us on this desision.

I must most vehemently protest the suggestion. The Moot may have been designed for people to discuss Tolkein, but it is only natural that the intelligent thinking people that Mooter are would want to expand their minds into issues such as terrorism et al.

Don't take the suggestion too seriously. If you check the dates, this thread is almost two years old and, as you can see, GM is still open.

If you want to control the subjects taken up here sub-forums would perhaps be a good idea.
Politics - Socialism/Communism - Conservatism - Centerpolitics Culture - Food - Architecture - Archiology Sciences - Technology - Biology - Chemistry - Physics ...and so on. |

Hmm. I can see the reason for concern,but I would hate to see GM go down. GM is the mooters' place to get to know each other better and have fun. I also hate the spam on this board, but maybe this could serve as a warning or a more official one could be put up. I say that if the spam continues at an unbearable level, the board should indeed be closed. But if the spam level drops, then the board should be left here for the rest of us. I'd hate to see the spammers take down GM for the rest of us non-spammers who go here for some decent fun ahd chat.
Whatever the admins do is in the best interest of the board..I just hope it doesn't come to closing GM.
