Oh TWOP. You so funny.

So a day after a television show aired, they had no thread open for thread and the old thread was locked. So I messaged the mod to nudge. The mod sent back a snippy, 'I explained why the thread was locked in the Q&A thread.'

Huh. IT was locked until the new episode aired, which wasn't the issue as I sent the message during lunch the day after it had aired when there was still no thread and after TWOP itself had posted a recap that linked to the forum that only contained the old locked thread.

Now, there's an episode thread that was not there when I sent the message during lunch the day AFTER the episode aired. Which, fine, but the mod went to the bother of backdating it to midnight the day before it aired, which, I'm sorry, isn't at all convincing since the first post in that backdated thread is dated two hours AFTER my message to the mod that there was no open thread for the show. Why the snarky 'Read the Q&A' response (repeated twice) rather than just apologizing for having forgotten about the forum? And why try to pretend there were threads open in the folder when there weren't?

Oh TWOP, never stop being jerks. If you did, you wouldn't have a site identity.

It's weird, every time I visit a forum on twop I end up regretting it, because of the negativity on most of them. Yet I can't seem to stop reading them. It's like a trainwreck...

Once a snot, always a snot. I gave up on TWOP a long time ago.

TWOP never changes; the mods have always been a collection of smug, knee-jerk asshats.

The last time I commented there was to criticize a previously good sitcom I thought had degenerated into facile TV rom-com tropes, and the mod edited my post heavily and sent a snippy DM telling me I "couldn't state sweeping opinion as fact." Of course, in the next thread longstanding commenters were doing that very thing with impunity.

In short, they suck rocks over there.

It's indirectly thanks to TWOP that I started watching Buffy ... I was a habitual reader of the charmed threads at the time, and there was one of the regular purges of threads and everyone was complaining that it was "those darned Buffy fans fault" because they were so prolific. Then I happened to see that season 2 buffy was showing in re-runs on tv, and I decided to give it a go. The episode was school hard, I took one look at Spike and was hooked...

So I can't hate the place, even if I never go there anymore.
