    Not only that, but many people complained about him using the shoutbox. It wasn't just me that he offended.
    It's up to you to unban him retro. I cannot undo that myself.
    Personally I don't care any more it was ages ago, I'm not going to hold the grudge.

    Actually, you used it twice in the forum... god knows how many times in the shoutbox.

    Please stop the lies. I can see deleted posts.

    Learn to read. I said that you had 8 SINCE YOU WERE BANNED FROM THE CHAT. You have 14 in total. Don't try to tell me otherwise - there's a counter that the staff can see. As you can see from the attached, 8 warnings since your ban in August, 14 in total. Why you think it's OK to lie to me and make up feeble excuses and backlash is beyond me. Don't do it - you won't win.

    You're the only one who had NUMEROUS complaints, hence action was taken. Lack of respect for staff is against the rules - keep it up and see where it gets you.

    Hex just told me that it's up to me whether you get shoutbox privileges back. Had you not kept answering back and trying to make flimsy excuses for your behaviour, I'd have said OK. However, you show no remorse for your actions (you insinuated Hex's Mother is a prostitute), so no - I'm not going to bother to take the time and effort to unban you.[/QUOTE]

    I thought my post about Vince Vaughn being a smoking asshole on set was way more interesting than what you guys are on about.
    But, 14 warnings! Wow! Must be some kind of record, huh?
    I think I've had two or three on this site, and once I was banned for baiting a racist to flame me and tell me how ukranians are a superior race (or something like that).

    Vince Vaughn being an arsehole is news to you?! :p It is pretty funny how he's smoking in a gym lol. Is it really just him, or was it part of the humour?

    Uhh... what you do in your own time is your business. I think you meant baiting (taunting), like fishing bait.

    I'm just going to leave this here...

    Yes, it's only him and there are no direct shots of him smoking. Like lighting a cigarette or taking out a pack. It's just some short and vague shots here and there as if he was just smoking on set all the time and everyone pretends that he wasn't.
    If it's not some subtle gag then he is/was a *major* league asshole. That would be news to me, yes :D

    Of course, I meant baiting. Baiting, I meant. Baiting with the two Is. Baiting as in bait. Ha ha. Ha.

    So long, rtv190. Can't say it's been nice knowing you. I think you may have just placed the final straw that will break the camel's back. Calling a co-administrator an idiot is a real solid way of proving how much you deserve to be a part of the community here. Stellar work, sir.

    I checked up on that and read the AMA on the gentleman who was with Vince Vaughn. Very interesting. I didn't really know that he had the reputation of being an "ass hole." According to that AMA he busted his butt to meet and greet during that phase of promotion for Dodgeball.

    I still say that we should get rid of the shoutbox. Too much trouble.

    Alright, I'm sick of people saying things like that. Spammers? Seriously? I don't think that I have seen more than one in the last couple of months. Guess what, it happens and the staff take pretty good care of cleaning up after them.

    Perfectionists? Not really, but yes, there are a few people with huge egos here. It's the internet, what do you expect? Don't like it? Leave. Bitching about it does nothing but cause people like me to get pissed off at people like you.

    No, we do. Inappropriate ones. Like these:

    Incidentally, there are 6 of your warnings. Then the other 2 I mentioned earlier. Three WTB violations where you wouldn't listen and kept posting multiple WTB threads. A marketplace violation where you flamed a price, which is against the rules. Your last offence to ban you, when you gave a stupidly low price on a WTB and were rude when the OP stated it was definitely worth more. And then your recent posting of a link in the eBay Hall of Shame. Count them - 14.

    See your above comment. Calling someone an idiot isn't respect. Even when I show you proof as a screenshot, you argue the toss.

    Clearly, you are never going to change. Myself and the other staff don't have the time to have to continually babysit you and remind you of the rules and to play nicely. Your time is up, I'm afraid. And yes, whilst this is the free voice thread, calling a staff member an idiot is a pretty stupid move. Especially when you were continuing to argue a point that had already been proved incorrect.

    You seriously need to adjust your attitude and learn to fit in with others. Think before you speak, and stop being so offensive. Word of advice - change your e-mail address before you get a job. Nobody's going to hire you with that on your CV.

    Because of a handful of morons? I don't think so. There a good group of people that use it all the time, and it'd be unfair to those who follow rules. It's like removing the marketplace because there's been a small amount of scams that have happened.
    The action of banning those who cannot use it correctly sounds like a better option, if not better fairer.

    It may have taken 13+ years, but X-FILES will have a 10th season. I think 2016 is on to a good start.

    I've never heard of any rumours about him, mainly because hollywood rumours are for old ladies at the barber's, imho :D .
    But, like I said, if it's not some kind of gag or subliminal advertising by the tobacco industry then he's simply being incredibly rude to his surroundings. And I say that as someone who smokes a pack a day myself.

    I think it was a joke of sorts. As in, he's heading over to do something phsyical and he's smoking a cigarette right before starting. Also, it could reflect how little they care about the gym they're using. He just flicks the cigarette anywhere instead of putting it out somewhere. I know comedies might sometimes have an unprofessional work environment, I don't think they would have started shooting if he was in the middle of a smoke break. It definitely works well within the scene. It just seems too convenient to be a slip-up.

    That's the thing, this movie isn't big on subtleness. Everything is in your face. And this thing is subtle, like if you literally blinked for a second then you would've missed it. It also doesn't fit with the characters or the movie. So basically it feels very out of place and that's what makes me relatively condfident that it wasn't a joke.
    I had to rewind after like 30 seconds to double check if I just saw whay i thought I saw.

    Ironically enough, around 15 years ago everyone wanted X-Files to go off the air already.

    Didn't mostly everything change a few seasons in? Between relocating from BC to So Cal, removing Mulder, adding a bunch of other people.. Haven't seen the later episodes in a very long time, I barely remember what made it suck now.

    The movies are night and day. The first one was great, the second one that came out in the late 00s (way after the show ended) was pretty awful.

    Hopefully the new series will be more like the first movie/half of the series.
