Oookay.

As the person who posted second most in the entire history of Patpay, I think I have a little bit of influence when I say that I don't mind this. Of course, I would love for the thread to be reopened. Literally from the begining of this school year to the day it was closed I enjoyed posting in Patpay and having fun conversations and all kinds of stuff...I really was attached to that thread. It wasn't even a word game..I don't know why anyone thought it was. And yes, it's popularity started a lot of really stupid forum games, but didn't you notice that at Patpay's closing the only "word games" that existed on the front page were Patpay and the new WA. So forum games and word games weren't even a problem when Patpay was closed. It did cause some trouble, but it passed with time. I barely ever saw a flame war in Patpay...in fact I can think of nothing more than a few insults here and there.

Closing it is annoying, yes, but there will be other topics to post in...that's why I started the "Absolutely Nothing" topic...just a completely non-specific general topic where anyone can post anything they want, assuming it complies with the forum rules. Patpay's closing was a tribute to it, or at least we can look at it that way.

You got to understand...that thread was NOT popular. It was only big among probably about 10 total people. Everyone else I ever talked to hated that topic for no reason besides it was a game. The administration is not in Patpay's favor and never will be, so asking for it back is completely pointless.

So...Patpay had it's year, and it was good. But it's over, so lets just move on, okay? A lot of online things I sometimes held almost sentimental attachment to have been destroyed (J2C and the JMMB for one). But you'll get over it.
