I’m pretty sure I could manipulate the logs if I wanted to, but I don’t think jmakin is familiar with the settings I would use to do this.
The logs only show when I read a PM from an account that’s not mine. When I can look at the Inbox of a user’s PMs, if should me something that looks like a regular list of topics i.e.
but with PM topics listed instead of thread topics. It does not show my who any of the participants are whose avys aren’t shown, but there will be a (+5) indicating that 5 users whose avatars aren’t shown are also participating.
He also begged people to step into the shitty job he has taken up for the community and said he was being driven over the edge mentally by it, and then he was mocked for it.
The funcrusher post was for the most part, the best one here in a while imo. This place has been absolutely destructive towards mental health as of late. That is a seething indictment towards certain people. Many users here have struggled during the pandemic. Others have posted about their struggles from well before such. There has been a noticeable increase in insults about the mental well being of posters as well as trolling of posters who clearly could not handle being trolled.
This is just unacceptable. I hate being the Helen Lovejoy here but Jesus christ guys.
Please quote a single post of your own where you asked fellow posters to also turn it on also.
All the shit you (and all of us to a lesser extent) talk about Americans and turns out you’re no different. Color me surprised.
The loyalty showed to you is admirable and you are completely shitting on it when you can’t be bothered to make the nut low minimal effort to reach out and convince others to put in a few minutes of effort.
The juxtaposition of that to the political analogies of oppression being thrown around is more egregious than any action any mod has taken.
I have to admit I have gotten a good laugh out of “Council of Captains”. You couldn’t make up a better thread title for the nuke that finally ends this place than that.
I don’t think the forum is necessarily dead, but I do think it’s ironic that after unleashing streams of vitriolic invective against a huge group of people for doing horrible things like asking for a subforum, the person who actually took his ball and went home was jmakin.
The single action that increased the likelihood of the forum dying the most was the publishing of this pm thread, and that was done because jmakin didn’t like how the forum was going for him, after impugning the humanity and decency of people that he thought were doing the same.
I have it turned on because I received one a while ago which was encrypted and got a message that I’d be unable to read it with encryption off - not because I’m a selfish fuck who looks after himself and no one else.
I’m not sure it’s turned on on this machine (I think it might have to be set per machine).
I’m not 100% sure it’s permanently on on my other machine.
Nice try though.
Although I did have some doubts I believed we could trust our admin not to be reading our PMs and email addresses and posting our PMs in public. More fool me.
