Lolocaust

Where'd it go? I was on it only a few hours ago, and I really don't see why I was banned if that's the case...

It is still there for me. PM Rabies or Hagar, there were a few people removed from the access list recently because of inactivity maybe. Probably why you can't see it.

Not sure the point of a cull on a forum like lolocaust, I understand when its a private forum between friends or something and want to limit people who dont actively use it, but what harm do more posters on the access list cause?

JC 2K3 · 02-06-2008 2:52pm

I can't get in either

Jesus Wept · 02-06-2008 2:57pm

me 2 :O

Trinity · 02-06-2008 3:21pm

Me 3, posted in helpdesk. Beruthial explained about the cull and i certainly for one had not been active for ages.

The_Minister · 02-06-2008 4:20pm

You probably just got culled

Indeed.

I haven't been on Lolocaust for a while, but I certainly do browse/post in it now and then.

You had to post on a sticky at the top of the forum to retain access. Let it be a lesson to read the stickies

it was a matter of time....

Truth be told, I've only accessed it once or twice in the last few months.

But why the need to prune the members list? I can't see the logic behind that one...

it's in the charter; that if you ask for access, you must use it... dunno why it was out in the charter though... It's no harm really IMO... perhaps a good thing to stop it from growing out fo control...

JC 2K3 · 02-06-2008 4:40pm

Out of control??

Marcus.Aurelius · 02-06-2008 4:42pm

I imagine to keep the forum active and lively, rather than be inhabited by thousands of lurkers.

Well nobody wants a private sub-forum with 150,000 users in it.

I thought it was a bit stupid too. If some people only visit it once in a while where's the harm in that?

I think someone has too much time on their hands!

Kind of reminds me of surfers and their secret spots...;)

There's no problem with people visiting once in awhile, but as far as I'm aware the sticky to sign in was there for a couple of months so it's not like people weren't given notice.
