  indeed...
  
  Not really though, can't say I'd actually disagree not that it would matter if I did, just curious

  Id say shutting down the basement is an attempt to clean some of this mess up here. Its certainly an admission that the basement was a BAD idea in the first place.

  Isn't that February Fools day though?

  Is it?

  It works just fine...just can't have stupid call out threads personally directed, that would inevitably lead to liability issues, I get that. So just get rid of the cancer.

  Well your intentions might have been good, you just didnt realize how childish and venomous some of these ppl can be.

  It would be difficult, if not impossible to overestimate that.

  I dont think there is a problem with the basement at all, I actually think its a pretty good idea.
  
  It shouldnt be tough for adults to have a mature conversation. There is nothing wrong with the basement, theres a problem with some of the posters.

  Worst birthday present, ever!

  Also I hope you re-evaluate some of the mods on here. There are a few that are just as bad as some of the trolls (see LJ, Cry4Fun).

  Yeah don't agree...I was given an infraction by them for saying a black hockey player could take slap shots with his penis. Seems a bit of an over reaction to me

  Announcing March first:
  
  
  The PIT in the basement
  
  Offenders are thrown in the pit in the basement blindfolded with only their own urine to drink. Occasionally, a cross dressing mod will come by and throw down a few scraps of food to eat and then casually walk away...

  Really, you received one infraction from two mods? Not possible. Nice fail.
• Art Modell

  

  I think it's funny how CoA-Dawg is posting at the same time to make us think that they are not the same. hahafail.
