I thought that's where you went so as not to close other Forums. How does one get the bear pit closed?

It seemed hard to tell the difference, except for blatant name calling, between the pit and any other forum.

No big loss.

If someone needs to call someone a (whatever) they can take it to IM. No big deal about the pit.

your right on the no big loss, but it sure did make for good late night reading.

Yeah,.....basically it was a place to send problems instead of dealing with them.

Hope it stays gone.

wonder if it would be possible to have an off-site bear pit or something?

Kinda like the Coliseum.
Nice to watch but not much fun to be in.

I've never been there. Just heard about it.

Oh Oh ........I hear little Troll feet heading this way

Posted: 12/20/2005 6:58:50 PM EDT

Sucks that it's gone. but to me it seems that it wasn't being used for what it's intended purpose was anyway!

Why dont you guys open a new one and call it "Samantha's flower pit"?

Posted: 12/20/2005 6:59:21 PM EDT

So many pricks post in there it was only a matter of time.

Um, how about we thank DigDug, who proved his point about hating it when people bring The Pit to other parts of the site... by posting a link to a thread in The Pit into Team?

That was pre-ban.com

And it's closed down too.

Guess we'll just all have to try not to be shitbags.

It was a good place to send posts that got trolled by asshats instead of locking them, but some of the topics started in there were just outright stupid. It is quite entertaining at times

DigDug only emphasised the fact that some on the board can't leave it alone! If there is a problem, go to the pit! Resolve it there, and KEEP IT THERE!

His bitch was people bringing The Pit out to somewhere other than The Pit.

He proved this by bringing The Pit into Team.

Congrats, Diggie. You proved your point.

The worst thing is those evil spirits that FORCED all the whiny prudes to click on threads they knew would offend them.

Never really payed attention to the pit. I'm not really much of a drama queen.

I thought it was Ed Sr. who closed it.

Why are you talking about it here? Afraid to chance it by asking in the PIT?

... So one guy (Voldermortist) singlehandedly brought down the EdSrs Bear Pit???

... Just WOW! That dude has some serious pull!

... Does this mean markm could possibly topple General Discussion himself someday soon?

I intentionally never went there. I have a hard enough time not getting my account locked just in the GD.

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:12:58 PM EDT

Jesus, I clicked on the pit, and wondered why everything was locked and posted there.

I didnt read the damned sticky or this thread.

Yeah, it was called preban.com

Although, considering the number of EX Arfcommers over there with their whining manginas, maybe it shoulda been called POSTban.com.

I don't think is was just one guy,

But there are some asshats who all but live in the pit.

More than a 3rd of their posts are there.

+1 On the above sediments, and to add when your thread did get sent there, some people were not only rude, but were intentionally foul.

Once a thread I was in was sent there, I absolutely refused to post . I would no more wade into that refuse than I would willingly swim in a cesspool.

Doesn't it make more sense to just ban the one douchebag than to close a section of the boards?

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:21:54 PM EDT

[#40]

I can see this thread quickly deteriorating into something that would have originally been posted in or moved to the Pit.

Ain't the Internet great?

And what about "What's said in the Team Forum, stays in the Team Forum"?

They need to close it and start locking accounts

OR

They need to close it and accept the fact that it will just move back into GD, ect.

OR

They need to open it up

I liked this site before there was a Pit.

I liked this site after there was a Pit.

I still like this site.

Good for you...

I posted there now and then and got caught up in the nastiness… having said that:

The Pit was a festering sore that was a vehicle to create and nurture grudges and spitefulness... an invitation to act in the most childish nature. Not healthy.

Yea by banning the PIT just for one guy seems alot like how we deal with lame ass gun laws.Ban the guy not the pit

Ban the guy not the pit!

Ban the guy not the pit!

No, you started something that hurt people for no reason other than your glory. Then when people got on your butt you began waffleing and Even gave a a half -a**ed apology. Now you want bragging rights for being a wooose! Give us all a break! Yes, you get bragging rights for closing the Pit! But you should be ashamed of you deed not proud of it.
