    Really good. I'm going with 8.25 though because of the use of the phrase "hounded people off of the forum..." rather than the usual, more lazy "hounded people off the forum..." which irritates me more than it probably should.

    BUT NOT AS MUCH AS THE REMOVAL OF PORTABLE VIEW.

    I think if everyone can learn anything from this sad couple of days it's that nothing ever gets resolved once it descends into name-calling. If everyone could've kept their cool from the start it could've probably been sorted out in an hour and we'd all be back to calling each other names in jest by now instead.

    "Be excellent to each other", as Abraham Lincoln once said.

    Hm, it's true it probably would have blown over had bad things not been said.

    BUT, I still haven't been convinced that changing thread titles into generic versions of themselves is a good thing, regardless of how compelled we should be to just let it go and carry on.

    Me neither, truth be told. But perhaps if that'd been a reasoned discussion up front it'd have lead to an agreement or compromise and far fewer Nazis, princesses and rage-quits.

    We need thread naming guidelines. We know about the swearing, spelling and grammar. What else are we not allowed?

    But when has anything round here been done in a reasonable fashion, if there's an alternative involving screaming ab-dabs and near rioting?

    Then perhaps we should try the NeoGAF route and perform all communication via the medium of the animated GIF? :)

    Almost 6k posts in 2 years (!) makes you a pretty regular poster, yes.

    I just kept F5ing, waiting for the reveal that it was actually Mapster who took the word 'Swapsies' out of the thread title...

    I still can't decide whether what's happened is worse than the Mapster incident, in that case he just went a bit nuts and really can't have been thinking clearly.

    This time around temporary insanity doesn't even appear on the table.

    Me, I think this has been a bloody pointless exercise that's generated bad blood, achieved absolutely nothing and will continue to rumble on until something changes.

    And that's the opinion of someone who has been here since the start of the forum, for what little it's worth.
