That's right!
You know, over the years (months for me), we have seen stupid, pathetic, anger-driven, locked threads.
There are the classics (PhilRoberts2004), and soon-to be(What pisses you off?), and the one that commemorates them all, this one.
So go flat out. Which of these humerous threads deserve to be in "What is YOUR favorite locked thread?"? Is there one worthy of the honor, the recognition? Is there a hijacked thread that is just too funny to handle? Write your thoughts here :)
Oh yeah, and moderators- I can read your mind. You are going to say something like: I think this one is!. Well, I am one step ahead of you! Nothing gets past me!
I didn't really like any other them, cause they were locked for one of the following reasons:
a) they were stupid
b) they turned into a flame-war
c) they were locked cause of me ;D
I'm sorry, but if i want to see some locked threads, i'll just search around the forums.
Someday, i'll be looking at this locked thread.
Can't anybody come up with anything original to post about these days?
You already mentioned the old King of Tards, Phil Roberts... what more is there to say? :-\
The what happened to Yahtzee thread. Heh, I think I got that one locked. :-p
The Yahtzee thread made me laugh, I must say. People were so reluctant to bring the discussion back up, but the newer members who didn't know what happened just KEPT ON pestering, so all sorts of wonderful posts erupted :D
EDIT: most threads by kill666, as well. Not because he makes good threads, but the replies he gets never cease to amuse me. (No hard feelings, k, kill666?)
KQ2VGA aka RPGcreator
The kickme ones where he claimed he wrote that song or played guitar with that dude, I can't remember his name.
I wonder if RPG has made any progress on his games, I'm still waiting for some screenies, I guess he'll come out of the woodwork to ruin the QG2VGA threads.
Definately the Mappomedia thread, or the one by Orionorbit offering to do music...(i think it was locked)
You mean that guy who offered to do music, but then would never give us any samples and then Shbaz found some of his old bands, where there was samples... yeah, that guy was fucked in the head.
This one... as soon as it's be locked...
OrionOrbit! I loved that guy so damn much.
You're funny, releasethefrogs...
You remind me of this one kid, Jerome Gipp, that I know... you even kinda look like him...
For that simple reason, I can't hate you...
Actually about OrionOrbit.. I emailed him b4 that thread went crazy and hes now helping mw with music on my game. Hes shown me some kickass work so far...
About locked threads though, the Mappomedia one was brilliant.
True, Mappomedia was an experience to remember. I don't know why that one was locked at all - there was room for a million more of DG's witty posts.... and I wanted to see him (Not DG, the other dude) take down his site for copyright reasons :D
Don't forget Jodo Kast. It's astonishing how he managed to get under so many people's skin.
I'm sure Mappomedia was fixed...That was probaly DG logging in and out etc...oh yeah, and that CEO guy was definately DG....definately....
P.S. I now declare this topic officially HOT.
I liked Mappomedia and also the thread with Chis, calling people every word I'm not supposed to say including "Dick strocking poofter fuck"?!
Also I liked all my own locked threads! ;) It seems according to the stats, that I made the most new topics :p
One of mine was the guy who "worked for the Spider-man create your own comic" game. First they were just his, and jeez, were they beautiful. Then, I believe it was Eric busted him on page 2 of the thread, and thats when he claimed he made them, and was allowed to post them, and he had more coming, and then he disspeared.
Loser.

The ironic thing is that most of the posts say how
bad this thread is... :P

I'm still eagerly awaiting his return, Scumm... [and it wasn't locked, d'oh!]
heh, nice detective work in that one, eric :)
I want to see those images, too bad they don't show anymore.
I knew it wasnt locked, we started going on a tangent in this thread about forum idiots, and I knew of one to add.

SURVEY SAYS... BA-BUUUM! YOU'RE WRONG!
The problem is you all think DG is perdictable, but he's not, he's Austrialian, and prolly has a better grasp of real humor then half this community combined.
And now that I've posted, this thread will die, like everything else I post in on this forum.

Can you provide any evidence? You keep saying this, but I don't get it because it doesn't actually happen as a consequence of you posting.
You see, every thread I post in dies too, because they all do, eventually.
his posts really did seem to stop conversations in posts awhile back, but now all these new people aren't threatened by him, and dont know the tides they cast....
Yeah, the gustapo is losing its powers...
F*** YOU GUSTAPO!!! :o
Sorry to revive this old thread... (And sorry to revive Os à šltimo Quao Quiejo ^_^'s existence memory...) But I have just received this:

Hello Farlander.
This is the vice president and CEO of Mappomedia Industries, Jonathan Parker. I believe you have had contact with us in 2004 and it seems we are in need of your services once more. If you are interested please contact me or any of my employees for further information.
Yours truely, Jonathan Parker, olofmartell@ektv.nu
And I vaguelly remembered all this mappomedia stuff... but, as said, vaguelly... What was that thread about? I can't find it in the database, with the "search" feature... Was it some kind of "enterprise", no?
Has someone received another PM like this? I am almost sure I did not write to them...
Not to piss anyone off (because I know he is tired of being blamed for stuff), but didn't DG make up a company and call it mappomedia? I can't remember more than that though...
http://hem.ektv.nu/~ekt014611/MappomediaIndustries.htm
Ah Mappomedia...
Also, awkwardly enough:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUrqpwSafMg&search=Mappomedia
Oh, Squinky, I think I recall something about that... I think they came here claiming they were very good, and saying they were the "winners of several counter strike mapping competitions", or that they were "very well known for making good mods" and things like that... And then DG made a joke website.
But it was not him who started it... I think he is smart not to repeat the play too many times, and he specifically said that he hasn't started the thread. Actually, I trust when he says he hasn't been the man behind "Little horse, teh game!" ;D. (see GiP)
Maybe the missunderstood cames because he made that "joke website"? Dunno, but thanks, now I remember the whole thread... :)
Someone who knows about this subject should do a wiki page on it, just to clear some grey areas for a lot of the forum members.
edit: After some searching I found what appears to be the url to what the thread used to be, but I think it got deleted: http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=8685
My favorite was that thread where we had this CJ cult in-the-making, and besides composing CJ's theme music, we had created this chart of the hierarchy of his minions, etc. That was fun. That was right before CJ changed his forum name to Pumaman. :)
No one probably remembers my first post on this thread that would lead me into the most funny (now that I look back on it) and all out retarded brawl with DG. I think it was about my avatar... oh yeah!
He said my avatar led to some weird pr0n site and I flipped out on him and like 5 other people for no apparent reason. Sorry DG, well, if you even remember...

I just saw my post after a long time and want to apologize for sounding like a major ass.
But the best thread that was locked was the Mappomedia thread. That was the funniest read ever. Plus i noticed we had a new member by the same name just a couple of days ago.
My favorite locked topic? Ohh, that's easy.... the one in the critics lounge with the pixelized German Sheppe(a?)rd. I'm afraid to search for it becouse its too funny. Funniest tread in the universe actually. It was before I joined though... or maybe I just missed it.
EDIT: I had to. (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=24606.0)
My new favourite locked thread is the game with the horses in the ...in Production forum. Not only is the art goddamn genius, but it is now my favourite ever AGS game. My only hope is that it'll actually come out and isn't just a piss-take - I would pay money for that game. Rock on baby horsey game, ROCK ON!
My fave locked thread was the one where I was unsure of my haircut, and Vict0r dared me to put that in the critics lounge. I put up the most silliest shot of me I had with it, in the critics lounge, and thus after that I had my haircut.

TWO people gave me Hitler moustaches, and ProgZmax locked it up saying it's going nowhere fast. But it DID give me the final push to have short hair again..
It didn't get locked, but it's just so fuckin' funnyÃ, :D
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=14171.0
And it deserves gettin' locked.
I wasn't going to post here, but I can't find any other appropriate thread.
My least favourite locked threads are any threads in which existing members pretend to be newbies in order to 'hilariously' break all the rules on purpose.
I don't mind when it's actually for a joke, like Grundislav's Fool's Day, but I don't see the joke in mis-posting crude drawings of baby horses.
I sound grumpy... sorry!
My favourite was probably that yodaman11111 one (what a mouthful) about graphics. No, actually I hated that...
To tell the full story of what I know, those Mappomedia guys were real but had a very shitty website. I'm not too sure exactly what Mappomedia did (From memory, it was just a bunch of dorks who made game mods). So I created a fake site (dead link to the original site (http://mappomedia.tripod.com/index.htm)) with an old copyright date as some kind of joke where I could issue them with a lawsuit and gain a large amount of money from the settlement. They left the forums so I let it drop, but liked the Mappomedia website so much, I used it as a "company" that produced all sorts of crazy things, like T-shirts and hi-tech (but dodgey) computer parts. The website is sadly no longer active. But I'm just glad that the whole unpleasant lawsuit business is behi

Yep, I remember, and it's all cool now.

I had to admire Peder's boldness in trying to get people to participate, even if it was a little misguided. I mean, starting your own awards ceremony for adventure games... Who the fuck would do something so retarded??
Oh.
