Jeeze LOUISE!

Some of these troll started threads have become totally ridiculous!

Every time you give them an emotional response, you play into their hand and give them fuel to keep going. Please get a grip on your feelings folks.

If we ALL band together and refuse to respond to trollish/redundant/unnecessary posts, then they will quickly fall off the main page without mod intervention.

Perhaps it is our own egos that seem to compell us to respond against our better judgement, but whatever the reason, continuing this will turn this board into a typical cesspool.

This board has from it's beginning, been a wonderful place to get useful information. ( well done SV folks! ) Let's not let it turn south.

Sorry friend. But people secretly like trolls. Gives them more entertainment and also, at times, allows them to vent frustrations.

Go Gestapo FFS. regardless of what Sigil does to fix the problem you have a small vocal group of whackos that are screaming bloody murder.

You don't think that posters taking a thread that is strictly a troll thread to 20 pages is a little much?

Well, that's Blizzard (get it? weather?!?) that is responsible for that.

Sony is responsible for war, religious strife, and Starbucks.

Sigil is responsible for that Travelling Gnome, whistler caps, and broken traffic lights.

Woefeather was originally going to be named Woefather after one of the Thestran Giants. However it was typo-ed on the announcement and so far the typo-ed name has stuck.
