But when Socks did it, it wasn't one word, directed at one person who may or may not not play TW anymore (who had already requested the thread to be locked), which was posted on the behalf of another person, quite likely against their will. If Socks wanted to post something like that, rather than piss all over the forums she'd send a PM. If Socks was desperate to promote the work of her friend dr. Sully, she'd first consult Sully before creating a seperate thread showcasing his talents, probably in the graphics-specific area of the forums.
She didn't want to waste bandwidth by making a whole new thread when an old comrade had created a thread for it already. She knew if she made a new thread about it, people would probably tell her "hey, there's a thread about this already, don't you remember?" and she feared such comments to the extent that she was driven into necromancy... In her mind, a thread about dreaming, unlike one about a more specific and practical question or about current TW politics, was always somewhat current and relevant. Because people, besides KK, will always need sleep.
Frankly, I think you shouldn't take someone like Socks as your role model. I don't like to gossip about people, but really... consider the kinds of people she keeps company with, and some of the things she has been credited with doing in the past... Not to mention the whole vanishing act :icon_rolleyes:
If you're really losing sleep over people who played months ago being unable to find a sigmaker, how's about you just do a forum search for the letter "e" or something (it'll be in almost every post) in reverse order of post recency, and send a pm to all those lacking a signature in their posts?
