Pointless Whining (split from the TMNT Documentary thread)

[ZariusTwo]

Why this thread isnt sticked or even above some inane little "Let's test the I.Q of pulped paper" thread I can sadly answer with a heavy handed "same ol' fandom"

[Krang]

How are we supposed to know that you want a thread to be stickied when you never asked us or even posted about it in this thread until now? If you expect others to put forth effort, it might help to start with a little effort of your own.

[ZariusTwo]

I don't HAVE to tell you. I think it'd be a clear priority when so much obvious progress had been put into it already.

It pisses me off royally that this thread was neglected, like any decent, intelligent effort from a fan, in favour of more rubbish, lifeless diabtribes on the I.Q of a fictional character and hypocritical discussions on why people are proud to be fans...when the most passionate of projects is neglected. Reminding people that they can actually do something PRODUCTIVE for this fandom for once shouldnt be the main priority, the main priority should be concerted effort in pushing this documentary along from the get-go.

But again, the usual nonsense prevails. Havent we had enough of it? If anti-anime slants are your bugbear, this franchise being treated like dirt by producers, toy companies, and fans is mine.

Turning the tables on me when all I'm pointing out is this fandom's insepid habit of taking this franchise for granted doesnt help anyone.

This documentary has real, tangible results pouring out of it. The logical thing after viewing that site WOULD be to sticky it.

Same ol' fandom.

I'll apologise in advance if I boxed anyone in

Krang may be a mind, but he's not a mind-reader.

It's got nothing to do with mind-reading, it has everything to do with basic common sense.

Again, in other fandoms, this thing would be a stickie the instant it was posted.

Well it's a stickied now so let's move on with this great topic

If that's your attitude, then you're no better than the people you're accusing. Does it really take that much effort to send a PM, or even post in the thread, saying, "I think this documentary is very promising. Could someone please sticky this thread?" instead of expecting the mods and admins to guess what you want? That's how forums are supposed to work, but instead we have a self-righteous member expecting us to read his mind, then throwing a whiny temper tantrum when we don't.

Then why didn't you put forth any effort to change that, such as, again, requesting it to be stickied, or bumping it every now and then and encouraging people to participate? Instead, you're wrecking it with unnecessary whining and drama.

"Basic common sense" would be that if you want a thread to be stickied, you would ask a mod or admin.

Now, since I don't want to see Canadian Turtle's thread to be wrecked any further, I'm splitting off this pointless trash and locking it. The documentary thread itself will not be stickied until a mod or admin receives a polite request to do so, which is how it should have been in the first place.
