I didn't say that.  CMG definitely called me a troll but that's nothing new.  C3PX sort of called me a troll but no big deal.  Ferris did not call me a troll but said I was getting close.  That's all.

Anyway, back to farting?

If you look back, I did not say those words......but just by your responses and how every thread and just about every post contains a picture....Id say that you bring it on yourself and you know this and love it. So if this is the case, then why get offended when someone calls you out on it?

Also, just as a side note, because I am relatively interested in the response.....what exactly have you contributed to this site and/or community? I mean this as projects or edits or anything as such. I dont wonder too much into the SW threads because it gets alittle depressing, so Im not sure you have contributed anything other than fart jokes, gifs, and 4chan stuff there.

If you have completed a project and/or edit, please link the thread, as I would like to read about something serious you have wrote/done. If not, then not much else needs to be said I guess

If you're not calling me a troll, then what the hell are you saying?

Just so I'm clear, I believe I make many people (including myself) laugh, and there's far too little of that these days.  Further, I post plenty of jokes that are not picture or gif related, I don't know a thing about 4chan, and I make serious posts as well.

I do not think the measure of a member's worth has to be judged only by the "projects" they have contributed.

Having said that...

And where do I use fart jokes?  Please point that out to me...and this thread doesn't count.

Ok, so then you have contributed no projects/edits/preservations to the site/community except a cut list which is available in just about each individual thread first post outlining each persons edit/revision.

That is all I wanted to know

I have spent a long fucking time on that project.  I'm not going to even bother to justify its worth to you.*

Frink is constantly contributing information. ideas and assistance for people on the Fan Edit and Preservation sections.

When I accidentally lost most of fan edit collection down back of my hard disc sofa last year he was one of the people who not only helped me put my collection back together but also pointed me in the direction of projects that I hadn't even heard of.

You don't have to have half a dozen projects under your belt to be a helpful member of the community here.

There are no doubt well regarded projects that would never of happened or wouldn't be as good as they are if it wasn't for people like Frink.

What do you mean that i may have the same pain to come? (that you put in your reason for editing your last post).

I ment about people selling your hard work on e-bay.

Man, i was only away for a little while and this tread has become long.....

I've already seen this happen. I've caught a few sellers at Memorabilia selling my edits and other peoples and reported them, but this certainly wouldn't have lead to me selling edits,  mine or other peoples. You just catch them, report them and let the authorities deal with the rest. If that is the excuse the OCP was using as a reason for selling edits then he's a bigger dick than i thought.

There are plenty of people who lurk the off-topic forum who haven't contributed any projects/edits/preservations, I don't see why you feel the need to single out Frink about this. That's why this is the OFF TOPIC section. I could tell you that you haven't contributed any good discussions in this section and to go back to the Fan Edit section, but I'm not going to, because I'm not an asshole.

Well, perhaps I have not contributed any good discussions in this section because once a good discussion starts, it gets derailed almost as soon as it starts, with pictures, gifs, and everything a certain member likes to include in each post.

Off-Topic does not (or rather should not) equate to complete ridiculousness. I dont believe, and I could be wrong here, that the mods/owners had all non-stop picture flooding which has been leaked over into the SW and FE threads in mind when they started the forum. For example, please see this thread about 6 posts down

I don't think Jay had fan edits in mind when he started the forum either.

Or preservations of non-Star Wars material.

Most of the jokes are concentrated in themed and skippable threads but certain topics are bound to encourage irreverent humour and sometimes that's going to take the shape of pictures.

So what?

If Frink's posts (or mine for that matter) upset you or anyone that much use the ignore feature.

Jay didn't put it there as an act of whimsy.

He put it there because waaay back when I was but a lurker the forum really could be a truly nasty place but now considered moderation, site design and the level headed attitude of most of the people who post here has made that largely a thing of the past.

To dismiss Frink's contribution to the community is really disingenuous.

Really poor show old bean.

Exactly.  Participation in fan projects is hardly a requirement for membership of ot.com.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Be sure it sums up my double post (the special note and post scriptum) two pages ago that may have been misunderstood by a few here. There's no issue to be searched between each others. Compmovie guy puts Frink on ignore and all will be fine, thread closed.

Oh, and adywan, since you're reading this thread, ANH:R was awesome.

I can tell you for certain, he didn't.    The preservation sections were not originally part of the forum.

I'VE BEEN A MEMBER SINCE DAY ONE WHICH WAS MARCH 10, 2003.  THE OFF TOPIC SECTION WAS ALWAYS VIEWED AS A FREE FOR ALL AREA ON THE FORUM.  HELL, AT THE TIME THERE WERE ONLY THREE SECTIONS THAT COMPRISED THE FORUM.  THEY WERE OFF TOPIC, GENERAL SW DISCUSSION, AND THEATRICAL CUTS vs. SPECIAL EDITIONS.  

SO, LIKE NANNER SAID, YOU SHOULDN'T ACT LIKE ANY OF THIS IS NEW.  CMG, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN YOU CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE TO WONDER INTO THE OFF TOPIC SECTION.

I was first aware of the petition around that time but I was a bit put off joining the forums because if I were to get into an online Star Wars chin wag  back then I would have done it on IMDB (back when you still could discuss something as mainstream as Star Wars over there) or on the JMSnews forums which were still very active back then.

It was a bit chaotic and really rather nasty sometimes when I lurked I remember reading with horror what DAYV had to put up with at one point and that alone put me off for a while.

I was only really prompted to join up after ANH:R because I saw the potential of throwing ideas in there and the place became creative and vibrant, not just a single issue protest site with a discussion board glued on. There were so many different possibilities.

I probably wouldn't have drifted over to the Off Topic area at all if it wasn't for threads like Frink's.

Between doing mock-ups and chucking ideas around the fan-edit section it was another avenue for using my imagination and getting to have a laugh with the some of the people I knew from elsewhere on the forums.

Since the Fan-edit and preservation section strands broke away I rarely contribute to the preservation side of things because I lack the expertise and materials to really contribute to that sort of project beyond taking an interest.

Now that I am doing projects of my own it's usually a nice place to pop into in the middle of doing often labour intensive and tedious tasks to get away from the drudgery.

The forums are certainly not as prickly as they used to be not by a long chalk.

I don't know why you think they were so "prickly" before. You seem to think this place was pure chaos before you arrived here. There was an occasional troll, and then there was The Rift. You said you didn't join until after you saw SW:R. Personally, I feel still feel that this place was in its height right before and after the The Rift. The whole exodus was pretty lame, but we had good times before that, and once the drama was over and the departing members finally got tired of shoving their departure in everyone's faces, there were even more good times to be had (most of the best times, actually).

"The Rift"? I didn't realize that (a) there was a name for it and (b) that many people left.

That's one of the problems with casual lurking, if you catch snippets of people at their lowest ebb it can distort the impression of a place and the people in it.

Equally if I had popped in when everyone was having a great time I would have got a different and possibly equally distorted view.

I've been on here pretty much solidly since signing up so I hope I've now got a bit more of a balanced picture of things as they are now but there are still areas where I don't read or post much because of my particular interests.

I didn't say the forums were pure chaos before I arrived (not only would that suggest they were never fun back then but it also implies I personally had some talismanic influence over everything...clearly not the case).

I did say they were like that sometimes.

What I should have said (and I say now for greater clarity) is they could be much more nasty than I've seen them since I've been a signed up and become a frequent user.

I put that down to influences I mentioned earlier.
