Thomas is annoying. Look at all of the useless threads he has resurrected. Should we ban him? Cast your vote. Yes or no. "No" votes will not be counted.

YES

Absolutely. I spend enough time moderating already.

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 02-05-2004, 05:13 PM:

Yup!

Plus a few others I can think of... myself included! [Big Grin]

Lets ban everyone and go pirate some movies.

Damn! Adam is hot today! He's a closer!

He really should be convicted and serve time, at least 90 days, in the Filmguard Penetentary. 30 days mixing up hot batches of Filmguard solution then 30 days bottling them and then 30 days at Phils house bike riding in the canyons. If he survives the L.A. canyons he should then be released and his whereabouts remotely monitored by Daryl O'Shea 24 hours a day so we know what he's up to 24 hours a day.

While we're at it Joe should have to jog next to him while he's biking in the canyon!

I vote we all chip in a few bucks each and send him to the Bunny Ranch! [Smile]

Posted by Jason Black (Member # 684) on 02-05-2004, 08:32 PM:

I'll vote for the ban..

And I'm not sure that sending him to the Bunny Ranch would do any good....

Ban his aging ass!

Posted by Evans A Criswell (Member # 381) on 02-05-2004, 11:49 PM:

I vote no multiplied by A(999, 999), where A is the Ackermann function:

1. If x = 0 then A(x, y) = y + 1
2. If y = 0 then A(x, y) = A(x-1, 1)
3. Otherwise, A(x, y) = A(x-1, A(x, y-1))

That should be more than enough to cancel most yes votes.

Luckily the server will crash before it finishes that calculation, so at best, you'll just get some bogus memory address... so the yes's may just win.

That and we're not counting no's.

Nah, I'll stick up for ol' Tommy - only cause I feel pity though.

Posted by Dave Williams (Member # 299) on 02-06-2004, 12:20 AM:

I vote that he be forced to watch the republican convention with a smile duct taped to his face and his eyelids sewn open.

If we can get him to vote Bush in 04, then I am sure all will be right with the world.

I don't know you Tom, but you seem like the underdog so I'll vote not to ban you. Let's hope I've made the right choice...the future could depend on it.

I vote No !! Since it is his Birthday...but tomorrow is another day !! [evil]

Happy Birthday Thomas, enjoy... [thumbsup]

evans will do the calculation with paper and pencil and get the result back to us by tom's next birthday. as for me, i don't believe in democracy, but i'm pulling for the guy.

Want to really punish him?

Make him read the "Joke Forum". [evil]

Posted by Steve Kraus (Member # 476) on 02-06-2004, 06:58 AM:

I vote no but his punishment should be that he own/manage a theatre staffed by an entire fleet of Thomas Procyks (think The Simpsons Homer-clones or Being John Malkovich), each of whom will have the attitudes towards work, his employers, difficult customers, etc. ad nauseum, just as he has espoused in his postings here.

BTW, if a new posting bumps a thread to the top would it not be great if there was some sort of negative posting that would sink a thread back to the bottom?

Posted by Scott Norwood (Member # 30) on 02-06-2004, 07:11 AM:

I don't know how easy it would be to implement, but I wish that this forum would automatically "kill" threads older than, say, a year. They would still be readable, but posts would not be editable and new posts could not be made. Obviously, there would have to be exceptions for some threads (who the heck are you, etc.), but those could be done manually.

Maybe Daryl can tell us how feasable this would be.

Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 02-06-2004, 07:15 AM:

I think Daryl is already looking into that.

Posted by Greg Mueller (Member # 17) on 02-06-2004, 09:33 AM:

Aye

Posted by Daryl C. W. O'Shea (Member # 1303) on 02-06-2004, 02:51 PM:

I wrote that code and saved it on my keychain about a month ago... now if I could only find my keychain we'd be all set.

Posted by William Leland III (Member # 1400) on 02-06-2004, 05:05 PM:

Daryl, i found your key chain. it was between 2 theatre seats. [Big Grin]

Posted by Scott D. Neff (Member # 185) on 02-08-2004, 05:55 PM:

Those aren't theatre seats!!!

(sorry-- reminded me of the "Those aren't pillows!!!" line from Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

And -- if we're still voting on Thomas I vote no on the ban, but I'm all in favor stricter Thomas Control Laws... like a 2 week waiting period for all his posts to clear, enough time to perform a background check. [Razz]

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 02-08-2004, 06:05 PM:

Hmmm, the two-week Thomas waiting period for each of his posts sounds pretty good.

Posted by Thomas Procyk (Member # 1170) on 02-05-2005, 11:59 AM:

DAMN!!! Look at all these MEAN things people said about me on and around my birthday last year... [Frown]

It's bad enough getting OLD, now people want to BAN me just because I am enjoying the last few years of joy before I give up counting the years... *sigh* That's what it is, you're all JEALOUS because you've STOPPED COUNTING! [evil]

Happy Birthday to Me!

Today he gets imunity tomorrow he is FIRED [evil]

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 02-05-2005, 12:33 PM:

For bringing up an old thread about BANNING HIMSELF, he deserves to be banned. And/or be sentenced to life as a proofreader for Joe Redifer.

Posted by Floyd Justin Newton (Member # 1316) on 02-05-2005, 12:38 PM:

Hell NO! [Razz]

Posted by John Carpenter (Member # 1488) on 02-05-2005, 01:19 PM:

We couldnt get rid of Thomas - I vote Blue! The posts keep me coming around - looking for a laugh if nothing else!

Posted by Brent Neal Jones (Member # 1048) on 02-05-2005, 01:46 PM:

Personally, I'm glad he does it. There's always something new to read or re-visit. Could be his thing. Maybe you could win people over, Thomas by being very selective like you have here in what you pull back up. God knows there's plenty, like 80+ page (and counting) three word games!

Happy Birthday and take care! [Smile]
