I have PM'd Lance. Ron is in Wow.
I am in IRC - and Ronny is logged on. Trying to get his attention.

My complaint is legit. If I disagree with a senior member, I take it up with them in PM. But How are we supposed to be civil with a senior member if after 2 years, they still can't be bothered to at least read a message. :| :?

I Don't expect an instant reply to a PM, but come on, 2 years? you've got to be kidding me. :wink: (I don't know, are there extenuating circumstances?? :? )

And I don't mean senior as in old, I mean as in High ranking :lol:

Prime, 2 years? :lol: :lol: :lol:

If you sent a pm before the forum was upgraded, she won't be able to read them now - but they must have been in her inbox a WHILE before the upgrade if they've been there 2 years already!

Yup, this was before the upgrade. :lol:

Who knows, maybe she read them but they just didn't clear on myside, though I don't believe that. :?

Lance has always replied to my PMs, and has unlocked threads on my request before, so I'm sure when he sees it he will comply. He's a big softy, really.

I have only ever necroed one thread, and it was just so that my 5000th post didn't appear in the English Spam Thread.

Right so lets see a thread was started about necro'ing and it got turned on its head to be a thread about not replying to 2 year old pm's? :? We seem to have one full page in this thread that is in no way related to the topic, should I lock or delete posts hmmmm?

*edit*

WRT to the FEAR thread the only reason why it was locked (from what I can tell) was because we are having a bad case of people necro'ing a thread only to spam so we are just locking threads until people stop and Fire's ban is meant to server as a warning. Lance is the correct person to ask for it be unlocked since he is the one who locked it.

Sojourn to answer your question if the post is legitimate to warrant a necro then it shall stand but because we have seen a influx in people necro'ing threads we have taken it upon ourselves to lock it. If its a new person chances are it wont be locked however if it is one of our long standing guys then chances are it is spam and it will be locked.

Delete the posts - or split it into a thread of its own.

Then instruct dear Ronny to perform said magic trick and you will then have two completely relevant threads - and then delete these posts of mine :twisted:

Thanks for the support my mouse. I received, or should I say, read Prime's PM this am. I had already unlocked the thread before coming on here to read this ranty, panty thread. To the best of my knowledge I have never not replied to a PM.
