Message from Polycount?

Thane-

Just got an automated message and email from Polycount after being gone for like 8 months. WTF? Thats not very nice. Thing is, i didn't really know if thats automated or not either.

==============

I'm pretty sure this means you've been a member for 3 years, and it's a anniversery e-mail.

Thane-

So my status here is a pig with lipstick on it, is what the message is trying to convey to me? In case i forgot? Just so i know? lol  ..Is it also making a bigger statement/complaint about the quality of the artists here..."constant consume party"? I don't know lol.

Jakob Gavelli

You might be reading a bit too much into it. It's just a silly congratulations..

Thane-

Yeah i think your right. I guess i just haven't received an automated insult from a forum before.

"The Constant Costume Party" bit is a nod to an old, old version of the site which had this as its tagline.

The message is silly. We could make it more serious, but why be serious when you can talk about amazing balls?

Thank you for saying what everyone was thinking.

Thane- you're an unbearable bell-end.

See, that was an insult, though I am sorry to say it was not automated. The message you received was a silly response to a change in your account sub-title, which is a meaningless label we added for fun. Do try to lighten up.

Thane-

edited to save my fucking career that i just lived in my fucking god damned car for for 3 fucking years.

this got dark pretty quick

Yeah man. Sending hugs your way, Thane!

You're not doing okay are you @Thane- ?

Thane-

I thought it might be a personal message, thats all. I received it the moment i logged into polycount after not being here for almost a year. Joe Wilson has been known to exhibit cock bag behavior towards others in the past and has gotten snippy with me before just for asking tech questions and due to the ease at which someone could code in a way to deliver such a message in that way, i thought huh, maybe thats a personalized gift from people known to sometimes be sarcastic nobs to people. I also thought this forum, specifically the general discussion forum, was a lot busier than this, that my post would quickly disappear after it got answered.

@ Brian: I'm doing fine Brian. I think i got a little panicky because polycount has been a place for tech answers before and i didn't want to jeopardize that.

@ Micheal Knubben: Uh, i'm not sure what made you think i was looking for emotional help here. I wasn't. I absolutely wasn't. Don't be so fucking incredibly rude to people and they won't feel the need to defend themselves.

@Thane-

Sorry to do this, but you've earned a 24 hour ban. Please take the time to cool off a bit., no need to cuss people out. Please read the Information sticky in General Discussion. If you still feel like being abusive, then a longer ban will be given.
