True. But it was the one place where we could talk about anything and everything, and feel accepted.

If you think about it, this competition has become a sort of RT 2.0

[ManDown]

It really has. That's what made RT getting shut down a little easier for me (and everyone else, I think).

I mean, I can live without it. But it's still really sad because I love/loved everyone in it. Even Kisuke.

Why was it shut down?

I didn't spend a lot of time there, but I'm still surprised it was closed...

Same. I'm even more surprised at some reactions.

Here is the last post made in Random Thoughts.

We are phasing out Random Thoughts. It has been a fun 6 months but all things must come to an end.

Of course, there are still many ways to carry on discussions about random topics.

- Got something random to say? Make a blog post, that's what they're for.
- Want to have a random conversation with another member? Post on their wall and vice versa.
- Getting a group together for a chat? Use external chat sites outside of ATRL.

We will consider new ways to carry on different types of discussions in the future.

If you don't agree, that's OK, you can take it out over in the NHB thread if you want. Note that NHB is not a "no warning zone"; all discussion in NHB must be about the site itself; you cannot use NHB as a substitute for RT. Use the other things I mentioned above instead.

Bottom line, we have a working moderating team now so we can move away from this "last resort" of an unmoderated catch-all thread. Thanks for coming along for the ride while it lasted.

[Queen Bea.]

I am not that interested.

Some people from RT were crazy awesome, some complete arsholes. People need to expand.

No. I tend not to go to No Holds Barred... Lol. Too much negativity. I'm all about positive energy.

Exactly. Same here. I've been in NHB several times and have posted, but never anything negative about anyone. And I'm afraid to go in there and see all of these reactions to RT closing. I hope noone gets banned...

Well, Kisuke was already banned... Wonder who's next...

When the actor that plays Paul in 8 Simple Rules died, it was so heartbreaking.

I'm rewatching.

Kisuke was just so, I don't know what the word I'm looking for is... I absolutely love Kisuke and how shady he is, and I'm probably the only Rihanna stan that found his shade hilarious and didn't let it bother me, but he did get carried away with it. But it isn't my forum, so I can't judge who should be banned and who should stay. But yeah, I also wonder who's next. I read some of the reactions in NHB, and WOW. This has turned into World War 3.

[Queen Bea.]

This makes me glad that I don't frequent NHB.


Some people take this place wayyyy too seriously.

[Knix]

NHB is a mess.

But we do need somewhere to speak to each other besides a wall.

[ManDown]

I agree, some people do take this site way too seriously. But I genuinely feel sorry for all of my RT gurls, because I know I loved that thread alot, and I know they all did as well. I just hope noone gets banned for the things they're saying.

And when are we having the elimination on here? Isn't it supposed to be within the next couple of hours?

[Queen Bea.]

Some people deserved to be banned for the things they are saying.

I never knew Kisuke anyway, and I doubt I would have been liked by him, but it's clear a lot of people are affected by the closing of RT. I'm going to look over the rules for the forum again, because apparently one of Kisuke's warning points was for using nicknames for celebs... apparently we can't use nicknames of the religious type outside SYG. I just read the terms of use though and that's nowhere in there... Where exactly do we find the rules???
