24. No, I don't think we are really that much in disagreement...

... I think our time references might not the same.

We both thought that when the actually switch-over to DU3 happened all of the posts we made here prior to that would be vanished. So I understand that you were testing the functionality of being a Host by doing the things they will be called upon to do. I have no problems with anything you did filling that temporary duty.

My last reply was just stating my opinion that for the future (now that DU3 is up and running) normal threads should be allowed to have the DU members decide if they are worthy of discussion by actually replying to them and kicking them to the top of the forum. I felt my thread fell in the normal topic discussion thread category and should be left to live or die on its own - that's pretty much what I was saying, not that you intended to have the thread pinned for eternity. I think the Admin threw a lot of us for a loop when all of our posts remained.

One thing I have noticed in the DU2 Dungeon is that people there tend to have pretty strong opinions. Trying to reach some consensus on how this tiny corner of DU3 should run may take a little bit of time - there is quite a bit of history between many of us. Hopefully more people will stop by and throw their two cents in.
