Why is my thread closed?

Yan Wang · #1 10-10-2002, 15:36

I didn't see an announcement anywhere for why "Word Association" is closed... can someone explain?

Jon K. · #2 10-10-2002, 15:42

I dont know either and i was one of the last posters but it should be opened again it is fun to try and figure out what people are thinking when they figure out an association

Kristina · #3 10-10-2002, 15:48

je ne sais pas (going with the french theme monsieur coffee...or should it be cafe?)

But its all the more reason for you to think of another innovative thread that will be so popular.

Brandon Martus · #4 10-10-2002, 15:53

People should pay attention to the rules.

Especially after the thread was closed for violating a particular rule, then to be opened and have that same rule broke within 2 hours.

Jon K. · #5 10-10-2002, 15:57

I bet I know which rule it was. Could it possibly the try not to make them live chats between a few people by posting a lot in a few minutes???

Sorry Brandon

The mention of alcohol ...

"By clicking the Agree button, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-orientated, racist, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws."

Underage drinking is illegal and shouldn't be mentioned on the forums "considering FIRST is centered around High School students... who shouldn't be drinking." <-- direct quote from Brandon

Brandon: is this why?

You also agree not to post the same message in multiple forums, or use the forums as a real-time chat, continuing a 2-3 person conversation on for numerious posts in a short period of time.

This is my hunch on what the cause of the closing was, but if it's true, I'm not sure it really applies. If only a few people choose to participate, I don't think that constitutes a "2-3 person conversation" (could the thread even really be considered a conversation?). Hrm, I was the most active participant, in post count, and if that is the problem, I'd make it a point to limit myself in post quantity. If I'm wrong however, I'm still trying to think of the reasoning behind the thread's closing...

It just means "I don't know".

And I thought the word association was a cool idea... maybe it went too many posts

Kristina · #10 10-10-2002, 20:37

Je suis désolé, mais vous avez tort. " Je ne sais rien" signifie que je ne sais rien. "Je ne sais pas" signifie seulement que je ne sais pas. J'essaye de parler plus français parce que je me suis rendu compte que je dois prendre des Français encore dans l'université. C'est la vie.

translate: I am sorry, but you are wrong. "Je ne sais rien" means that I do not know anything. "Je ne sais pas" only means that I do not know. I am trying to speak more french because I realized that I need to take french again in college. That's life.

Now just because I'm speaking french...don't opress me...I swear I'm not going to surrender.

edit: argh, raul beat me to it. it takes too long to type out all the french special charcaters and remember how to conjugate and stuff!

My bad. I stand corrected. I guess I need a refresher too.

Bien, je regarde vers le bas sur le peuple qui a causé se fermer du fil d'association de mot. Cependant, ce moyens que je devrai penser à quelque chose de nouveau. Mais ce week-end, j'ai des choses beaucoup plus importantes à faire pour vérifier n'importe quel forum beaucoup.

Well, I look down upon the people who caused the closing of the word association thread. However, that means that I will have to think of something new. But this weekend, I have much more important things to do to check any forum much.

Hehe, that must be annoying.

David Kelly · #13 10-10-2002, 22:01

it's just a thread, its not that big if a deal

Yan Wang · #14 10-10-2002, 22:46

Which is why I'm not worrying about it this weekend... Although Brandon did make me come here to get the new ListenTo script.

Sorry about instigating the re-closing of the thread
