Question Deleted posts on Mick's board

Not to start yet another bitching thread on Mick and his board or anything, and, instead of being annoyed like I probably should be, I find this kind of comical actually, but I just went to Mick's board for the first time in a while and I was amazed to see that my profile there SAYS I have about 30 or so posts but when I searched on them (to see if I got answers to my posts (which I knew I wouldn't but y'know how it is, out of curiosity etc.) there was only ONE post there of mine that seems to have survived the onslaught of deleting that I understand is going on there which I find completely unreal.

Though I did find it a plastic place early on, I never really had posted anything negative there, I simply just didn't go back there too often and when I did I just looked at what was being posted. The only stuff I ever did post there was on completely innocent things like "which song on (this) album did Mick play on? (etc.)" and Knight did say early on something to the effect that "someone as devoted as me deserved an answer every once in a while (etc.)". Well, I guess it's safe for me to assume I will not only NOT get answers to those questions I had asked there but that the innocent nature of my questions were considered too controversial or something. I can't imagine why though since in many of those threads in which I had asked my questions, no one else had said anything in them and I doubt very much that in my absence anyone would have felt as though they needed to start the (apparently) "hateful, mean spirited" posts in those particular posts (meaning they would have to delete them for "that purpose"). Also, I know they said they just generally delete old threads that don't get answered there etc. (I suppose to just clear space or whatever bizarre reason) but because I was directing those questions to Knight (as I had the hunch he wouldn't answer the identical questions I had sent him in PM's/E mails which turned out to be right) that they would stand since he said he was going to be the one to "give me an answer once in a while" as he had said and if there was "so much negativity there" then I would have thought they would have wanted to hang on to the few things there that were not "causing any problems" but I guess not.

Well, whatever, I just thought I'd share the "joke" with you all.

John

Arrow John...

I am guessing that if they deleted whole threads, EVERYONE who posted there got wiped out. I'm sure they didn't delete your innocent questions. THAT would make this already outrageous thing even MORE ridiculous.

Thumbs down I noticed that...

last night.

We went grocery shopping and before I left I was over "there" (I was also PMing another OKC fan who was needing advice on which tickets she bought that would have the best viewing of the stage) and I left a response on their "simple yes/no poll" that I agreed with SaraRhiannon's statement that "I never joined"...But when I checked my email that I received that should have had a response to that thread, The message I received was "the thread you are seeking is no longer available"...Sad, Really sad...Brian J.

Yeah well that's what I mean when I say that Knight was the only other one for the most part that said anything else in those threads, unless he found what he himself said to be wrong?!

I suppose someone else could have flaired something up within those threads later on when I wasn't there but it would have been interesting to see HOW something can go from "what song on this album did Mick play on" to polictics/religion/(whatever) debates. Oh well, I'm not surprised, just thought it was funny in a psychotic kind of way.

Not to defend anyone, myself included but I think we were all promised so much that when we were just sitting there waiting for any information the threads would go completely off topic and yes some of it was quite psychotic.

I started that thread. Am I surprised it's been deleted? Nooo. It showed that less than 10% of the replies were happy with the fan club sale. Only 4 out of 60 replies were positive on the morning after the thread started. I knew it wouldn't last long before Knight deleted it. Doesn't matter. I saved every bit of what was there before I logged in today and got this message "you are banned from this site." Ha! I even saved that message, too!

The thread I started yesterday from my friends computer about my banning seems to have mysteriously disappeared!
