To get this thread to bump you would need to be a God and alas, despite appearances to the contrary, I am merely a man.
Got into a dispute with one of the mods about why the inane Bond film elimination thread (you add a point I subtract a point. How exciting) has been tagged as an announcement so it stays at the top of the list. The only reason for this I can discern is that somebody decided it wasn't popular enough and getting enough posts.
I just queried why the same couldn't be done for this black sheep of a thread.
I think you can guess the outcome for yourself.
Agree entirely hence it wound me up that for no apparent reason it was given prominence over other threads that have to live and die on their own merits.
So I thought I'd bring the open sore of Nikki up again just to amuse myself.
Instead they simply pretend they don't see any and all related posts and comments (be they here or shoehorned into other normal threads) and hope that it would just be forgotten. By and large, with the exception of the few of us who have bookmarked it, they have succeeded as such, with a certain amount of impunity to boot.
Bang on the money.
They just ignore any mention of Nikki and assume at some point it will all go away.
It's down to us very small band of brothers to keep banging the drum for truth and justice and to mention Nikki as often as possible in every thread.
Feel free to chip in to 'The Great Bond film Elimination Game' thread and disrupt their asinine game by asking why they have ignored my request for this thread to be given the same preferential treatment.
Haha.
They will just lock the new thread saying it's a duplicate of this one!
I'm pretty sure earlier in this thread (or the other one that got closed) myself and others asked what was going on and the best they could offer was some shite about an error with the computer code. Which just so happened to affect the other Nikki thread and no others! I think even in North Korea they are more subtle than that!
And here comes the question, could we know why now? (A PM works for me...)
People should stop with this conspiracy attitude. The primary reason why I hardly ever replied to those accusing "y'all are on EON's payroll" posts is because I was utterly confused. Surely our members had found some reason for saying that, but I ever understood a bloody thing about it. I hardly know anything about Nikki vd Zyl to be frank, and care even less to be even more frank.
So is this it now? Are we done? There are enough loonies out there who think we never landed on the Moon. Well, I'm not taking money from EON, though I wish I were. So please put the pitchforks away and leave our women alone; hopefully, with a single button on my keyboard, I have silenced the angry mob. If another 'glitch' were to show itself, just PM me and I'll try the cure again: F5. If it works, great, if it doesn't, sorry, I'm all out of ideas.
And to those of you who seem to think that the mod team somehow tried to negate the existence of these threads: people, please, we do have a life.
Clearly she is estranged from her son and that a letter from him to Moore was partly the reason he withdrew his foreword.
I still obviously think Nikki's contribution should be acknowledged, but a person who reacts to one snub by such rudeness to complete innocents only serves to weaken her case.
@DarthDimi one thread was deleted for no good reason, and the other stopped bumping so it's hard to believe in a coincidental 'glitch'. Moderators can be overridden I'm sure.
I'll even announce it for you so it stays at the top of the recent discussions. (For a while, can't keep it up there forever. As with the elimination games that wont be up there for long, but are popular with a great many members.)
So go ahead, discuss as you've always been able too. But I for one will not tolerate any of this bullsh*t accusation you seem hell bent on sprouting about mods being on EON's payroll, or any other mindless theory that we're supposed to be hiding from you. Give it a bloody rest.
@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, what makes you think we're not in that position already? ;-)
@Suivez_ce_parachute, yes, indeed, it was a case of dubbing but this is how the film was released by its makers. It's not something that outsiders messed with after the facts. I'm not complaining over James Earl Jones doing a voice dub for Darth Vader, but I would be if James Earl Jones' voice were dubbed by a nameless voice in a different language because folks are afraid of subtitles. ;-)
Because they all end up going home with @Creasy47. Trust me, I've seen it firsthand.
Has he...lost his hands, or something?
Moon landing?
EON payroll?
Creasy47 touch?
Conspiracy?
Plausible deniability?
Bump?
Well, I guess I finally did arrive in the mirror universe as I suspected already in another thread. :-O
Bitching incessantly about being repressed is half the fun though @Benny. He doesn't actually want to talk about Nikki.
No offence intended from my part. You know the saying "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence..." Talking about threads, of course...
:D ;)
