"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky
Could someone please explain why the fuck the Questioning Chirine baKal thread was closed down?

Because it was 600 pages long, they said.

The longer a thread is, the more it weighs on the site's traffic, or so I've been told.
The fact is, the first Exalted thread was closed down after reaching half the page count. I think that's what a certain cat (one that cannot appreciate a good thread after seeing it) was so grumpy about.

Ahh I see. Ok, if this is the reason then I get it.Originally Posted by AsenRG
I thought it was because some whiny turds had an issue with a discussion that was not related to something that they were interested in. Thanks for the info!

Ok. I didn't realise that the length of the thread in itself was a problem. I was thinking that there was another reason for its demise that had nothing to do with the "site"s traffic," as Asen explained.

Marley has a hardon for Gronan and anyone from a time in the hobby prior to when she entered it. Their existence and having an opinion is enough to make her go aggro, nothing else needed. Her giving a textbook example of a threadcrap purely for site disruption is nothing new, it's practically her M.O. for a thread or post she doesn't like. She just hasn't done it to Pundit yet.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

To be honest I didn't find it very interesting mainly because there were pages and pages that were off in the hinterlands away from actually questioning anyone, but I just stopped reading it instead of pissing all over it for no reason. I'm not especially interested in Tekumel, but I thought maybe there would be some neat stories from Ye Olden Days of RPGs. Unfortunate there was just too much chaff and not enough wheat for me to bother sifting through the thread. I'm hoping this Part II thread will be better.

I am very much into Epics!!! This has become very, very entertaining!!! Long live Lord Chirine baKal Servant of the Flame!!! Long may you answer all inquiries...serious and silly alike!!!

PS Questioning to follow...Maybe!!! 599 pages to go.
I get it. Tekumel is an acquired taste and your reaction to the way the thread was going is what I would consider a balanced perspective. If it's boring to you then move on. Why piss on someone else's parade. This attitude of willful disruption is tedious and indicates some underlying issues, IMO. There are a lot of threads on this forum that do not interest me in the slightest, for example the Exalted one, but I don't go there and shit on everyone. I just pass it by...
