First of all, "prank" or not, it's not funny if it upsets people.

Second, this remark:
Come on! the number of pranks I have pulled on these forums, I can't believe some people thought this one was geniune. How obvious could I make it with a name like Immah Fibbr! Who needs an IQ test?
This remark was uncalled for. Very insulting. This is the Wonderland forum - we're all here for the same reason, to have fun. We certainly don't need "pranks" here - very childish.

Okay - how about getting into the fun Wonderland stuff now!!!!!

why on earth would a bogus website upset someone?
come on get real! if it was something which was infecting your computer with a virus which destroys every file, while simultaneously breaking your nose, I could understand it.

I'll get into the Wonderland stuff again when the new game comes out,

I'm sick (and I am not alone) of a couple of people sticking there nose up at everything I say or do. Bearsland left, and I doubt will return, because of comments people made, to his slightly contreversial posts in which he called some of you dense, yeah I know hes got family problems, but we talked by private message quite alot, and I know he was getting sick of a couple of people. Discgolfer and I were gonna start the ultimate prank/windup, but we knew it would offend a couple of people, namely majic1 and oldgranma, so we scraped it. Is it any wonder some of the biggest level posters, and forum contributers have left, or are not around much anymore. Discgolfer is also not around anymore, last post 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Well, Zippy, none of your posts ever upset me, nor did any of Bear's. I missed this latest brouhaha, since I just now got back from Chicago and haven't read any posts for a couple of days. I'm sure I would have fallen for it, checked out the website and then laughed my butt off.

I've been very sorry that Bear is gone. I never thought he was serious when he said some folks were dense, and I really didn't think he was that upset because people guessed his age wrong. I thought this was all good-natured kidding, which we all should be able to give and take. And I miss his daily participation in the forum. I've been hoping he would be back, but I'm afraid you're probably right that he won't.

I do hope you stick around. I can't wait to see what fabulous levels you'll make with the new version of RTW, and I'm sure many folks feel the same way. Even if you are an irreverent little s@#$ at times, it's one of the many things I love about you, and I doubt that I'm alone on that. I also love your terrific talent and your computer skills and I think you are a very important member of the Wonderland family. :wink:

Ditto Dianna,
Wish I could have seen the site BigZip.
I wish we could all just be friends.

I don't know what went on last night, so cannot comment on it.

I DO know who you are talking about, when you mention Bear leaving!

Have the courage of your convictions wee boy and say it!

As for the ones with the most contributions, levels or input..... do your homework sonny, we are still here.

All the PM's in the world won't tell you the truth of things, you weren't the only one to receive them...... and think on, you may have been the subject matter.

I had no wish to be involved in this discussion, it was nothing to do with me.
You have forced me into this intentionally.

At nineteen, I would have thought you had more things to do other than
causing trouble.

You obviously don't give respect to your elders, the cheeky comments you make are disgraceful.

I would ask that you refrain from involving me again, if it's nothing to do with me, KEEP IT THAT WAY!

because of comments people made, to his slightly contreversial posts
I didn't know it was you (davidmad) who made the comment about the dense thing, I was only going on what was said in a PM to me, didn't even know who Bear was referring to, as I couldn't hunt down the said post, hence I went generic and used the term people instead of a specific person.

Come on, Zippy doesn't deserve this kind of flaming, he hasn't done anything harmful. "Who needs an IQ test" is not all that insulting, just a little joke. Going to a pretend web site to download something we know is not available yet and then finding out that indeed it's not available, why is that so upsetting to anyone? Immah Fibbr? It was a joke, to be laughed at, not to get upset over. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was not just me, other people were involved too. The post is very easy to find.

The remark about him leaving, that's what I'm going on about!

Everybody knows that we had a spat before he went off.

My point is, if you want to point a finger at someone then, NAME THAT PERSON.
I don't hold with "beating behind the bush".

Sorry, I was not around at this time, in fact I only found out about it after my 2 week gap from the forums, when I checked my private mails.

I didn't know the person who said it (like I said in the previous post) in fact I didn't know you were even involved until you posted in this thread today having a go at me for not naming you in the first place :/ eek

It's a harsh world :) when I do something constructive for the forum, like spending days and days writing software to help newbies, sort there custom levels out, I get almost no feedback, when I say I don't like playing levels as much as making them (hence little feedback from me) I am called selfish. When I sift through every post on the levels forum to calate and order every level ever made, and to put details such as the authors name and date and put it into one quick download file, to save the new forum joiners ALOT of time, I get a handful of thanks, but generally not much, when I suggest an automated method of posting your top scores, with some safeguards to stop cheating, I get flamed with comments saying "not everyone plays for the same reason as you" and other stuff about my anticheating ideas. (Heck the score thing was made official, we have official threads! and the recent highscores competition by Midnight Synergy on another game, had anticheat solutions in place to stop cheaters! but of course if BIGZIPZ tells it like it is and says that anti cheating methods are needed I get flamed :)

You say, I'm having a go at you!

Put yourself in my shoes........ I came on the forum read your post about Bear, you just said "some people". So, who do you think was "having a go?"

I had nothing to do with all this, as far as I was concerned, you meant me.

In the future, you would be well advised to be careful how you word things.
Maybe then, you won't get people's backs up.

I have not been involved in any of this but can i make a few suggestions (1) the word sorry still exists, (2) if someone says sorry then accept it for what it is (3) if you cannot get on with someone then do not read their posts.
Now that I have said that you can all have a go at me. All this on the weekend the 'picture me' results were on you should all be happy little bunnies.

I still think Bear isn't around primary because of family problems. I find it very hard to believe that he'd hold such a grudge over a couple of comments. I seem to remember he's had encountered worse verbal exchanges before, but it didn't take long for the heat to settle. And even in the unlikely possibility that there's one or two people here that Bears absolutely can't stand, surely he can just ignore those one or two people but still continue to go on contributing to the rest of the forum.
Discgolfer and I were gonna start the ultimate prank/windup, but we knew it would offend a couple of people, namely majic1 and oldgranma, so we scraped it.
My impression is that ol'gramma is more upset about your comments about "who needs an IQ test" or whatever more than the prank itself.

And the fact is, everytime anyone pulls a prank, you have to accept the risk that you cannot expect everyone to take it well. Especially in here since there's such a wide range of ages, genders, nationalities, and background. You might be able to pull bigger pranks on your buddies and end up with no harm done, but the people on this forum is not all going to be quite like your buddies in many aspects, so inevitably you run the risk that the same prank will not work out so well for some.

If you want to pull a prank next time, either accept that fact that someone might get annoyed and pull it anyway, or scrap it. But just don't say anything unnecessary after the prank to the effect of "ha ha how could you fall for it"; it's not likely going to make anyone feel better, and it might possibly make someone feel really annoyed.
Is it any wonder some of the biggest level posters, and forum contributers have left, or are not around much anymore. Discgolfer is also not around anymore, last post 2 1/2 weeks ago.
I don't believe what you said here. Although I'm sure Discgolfer would find the idea of pulling a little prank on the group to be somewhat interesting, seems to me that in general he's more interested in making unusual levels and to make good-humored conversations and banter with others here. I find it ludicrous that Discgolfer would left the group because he finds some of the people here too uptight or something.

Indeed, seems to me of all 3 people (you, Bearsland and Discgolfer), you are the one who's far more likely to want to leave the group because of personality mismatches. Are you sure in making those statements you made about Bearsland and Discgolfer's lack of activity, that you didn't project too much of your own feelings into the conclusions you made about those 2?

-----------------------

Oh, and just so no one gets the wrong impression or anything, let me stress now once and for all that my infrequent contributions to the forums here is mainly because of lack of time, not because of any personality problems. Lack of time is an occupation hazard of, well, anyone who's far far from approaching retirement age. In case you haven't guessed, I'm far more closer in age to BigZipZ than to Ol'Gramma. :wink:

On the forums, at the upper left corner where there used to be just a smiling Stinky and a smiling Loof, now there's also Qookie and Mr. TallHat. Cute aren't they? :wink:

Yes they are STILL there Carolyn! I'm looking at them right now! However, on your first post where you said you saw them, I didn't - had to close my Explorer, then I emptied my temporary internet files just in case, opened IE back up, & there they were!!!

After reading Majic's post, I went and made some changes to my Mozilla settings to have it compare the page on the network to the page in the cache more frequently and when I came back to this page all four of the little guys were up there. OK, now I know what you guys are talking about.

Of course, one is named Qookie! How could we not have thought of that name, after Patrick's April Fool joke. Certainly it should have crossed my mind, since I fell so hard for that joke! Now what might the other one be named? He's kinda cute in that top hat, but I fear it might not stay on as well as the stocking caps when things get rough in Wonderland. :wink:
