^I didn't make it, you might want to write photobucket.
I have to say both sides are getting ridiculous.
Oh, I'm not insulting you. I didn't think you did... I was just pointing out that whoever made a graphic claiming someone else was stupid should probably spell/grammar check it.
There is no reason to lock the thread. The thread name speaks for itself. If you liked Creep write in here, if you don't then don't write. It seems REALLY easy to me.
^^I stopped reading that halfway through when you compared a forum-wide joke (chico's pubes) to one of the raunchiest sites on the internet consisting of a whale-like person with a fountain of crap flowing out of her.
C'mon Kdogg, you have more logic than that.
edit: ok, I went and finished reading halfway through my post... and my opinion on the matter remains the same
I still stand by my previous statement: Chico's pubes and Tubgirl fall on the same side of the inappropriate line.
And you know why I think Creep should remain banned? Because ever since he was gone this place has been the most annoying site on the entire internet. This has nothing to do with the lack of Creep's presence, but the rather simple lack of respect a small portion of his 'fanclub' (for lack of better term) has for this board and it's other members. It's absolutely ridiculous, and honestly, I doubt you can even try to deny that!
I am simply asking for all members to be treated equally; I do not think that is disrespectful to the board or other members. In fact, I find that to be quite the opposite.
If I thought that Creep had received the same treatment from the mods, over essentially the same situation, his banishment would be more acceptable to me. But as it stands, I see unfair treatment and I'm calling it as I see it.
I honestly see no reason not to lock this thread.. its just a whole boat of drama.
Anyone want to give me one? Seriously... I'm going for a smoke and I'll check when I get back.
because this thread was NEVER intended to debate creep's status. it is called the APPRECIATION thread, and those who don't like him decided to not make it that. both sides are at fault. perhaps you could warn those who would like to continue to argue not to post in a thread they aren't happy about?
the rest of us would rather just talk about creep and post funny pictures.

Seems like quite a bit of bickering, arguing, and drama to me.

isn't that what the "Mingle if your Single" thread is for???
Yes... I would prefer to fondly reminisce about Creep. But at the same time, I can't not respond to some of the things that were said in here that weren't in line with the original intent of the thread.
I see his profile has gone from being there with his IP banned to apparently being deleted altogether. He shall be missed.

Well let's be realistic here... you can't take a very recent and seemingly controversial issue on Inforoo and make a thread about it, adding the word "appreciation" and expect only one side to express their opinion.
It'd be like if I made a thread called "Dude Appreciation Thread" and said how hilarious I think he is (which I really do) I wouldn't even think to expect the thread to consist solely of people who enjoy his rants and whatnot. I guarantee you 3/4 of that thread would be filled with people whining about how annoying of a hippie he is and probably a hypocrite for attending Roo again and all that blah blah blah that I've heard a thousand times.
It's just how message boards work. It might not be right, but that's how it always plays out.
And it just seems pointless to me to have a Creep Appreciation thread and a Keep Creep Out thread so that both sides of the issue can comment on it...

i think it's been well-documented in this thread that people have gone above and beyond "expressing their opinion"
maybe y'all should just stop? the rest of us could get on with our appreciating. we get it...you don't care that he's gone. ok, discussion over
Dont we lock all other repetitive threads...I mean isnt this about "fair treatment" across the board? So we lock all other threads that have topics covered thoroughly in other threads I can direct everyone to 5 other threads that cover this same topic. So in true inforoo fashion Im gonna say......

Excellent idea!
It's not worth my time anyways. It's not like he's coming back or anything. Appreciate away then and post all the pictures of minorities and sexual innuendo you want. Seems like posting borderline inappropriate material is a good way to appreciate and contribute to an argument of bringing him back, anyways.
If you can find me something in this thread that has not already been mentioned in one of the above threads, then I will agree this thread needs to exist. If not then by the way the messageboard has been operating for how many years now--this seems to be a valid reason to lock the thread.
Mod powers abused - yes I am posting after the lock:
The main reaso this thread has gone off track is that it is no loger about "appreciating" creep and more about trying to convince the mods that we were wrong and to bring him back.
Ive got news for the creep fan club, no matter how many ideas you come up with, no matter how you phrase, no matter what evidence you give to support him, he is gone and will not be welcomed back. It goes beyond the things that were listed here. Creep intentionally tried to push the envelope after many warnings, He was told over and over that he would be banned if he didnt clean it up. He CHOSE not to therefore we CHOSE to ban him as our ultimatum had prescribed!
there have been many people on inforoo suspended and warned over the years who have straightened up, fell in line with the rules and there was no problem after. Creep refused to heed our warnings as if he was above the rules and requests of the mods. That is why he is gone.
And for future reference, we can be lienient on a lot of subjects, but when it comes to obscene pictures or degrading women or children, there will be no tolerance!
