[HavocTurbo]

Keep up the name calling and I'll have my little sister beat your ass.

That's right I said it.

[Bob Wessner]

Did Dave delete his account??? Cant even find him in the members list

Yes, I returned from out of town and found a PM to the affect that he had deleted his account.

[Laminar]

I'd just like to point out to everyone that I didn't take his name and post in this thread.

[heffay]

if I delete my account... my posts will come with me!
... that means I'll spend days upon days deleting and deleting and deleting.  

good luck to you upperlake.  we'll miss you.

[rhos1355]

I swear to God I'm completely innocent in this matter and have absolutely nothing to do with UL's account deletion.
There.
That's now official.
Just in case someone thinks it's me again.

Herrrummph. Now, where are my bedroom slippers and yesterday's newspaper.

I'm going to bed.

Well Lam, just to let you know, someone is now 10. So you need to update! I kinda wish we could see who it was that is ignoring a person. I suppose it is just curiosity as knowing would not serve any purpose. Well maybe it would, it would allow a person to possibly make it right with whoever is doing the ignoring.
Oh well, that is for another post.

[Sam Green Racing]

Can someone explain what this ignored by means and how dose it work?

If they are ignoring you they would not be able to hear your plea for friendship haha.

If you look at the bottom of a person's post, under their avatar, you'll see a button that says "ignore".  If you click this, that person's posts will no longer automatically appear in threads where you would normally see their posts.  However, their name will still appear, and a button that says "unhide" will show up that beckons you to click it to see what this unseemly person has said, which makes it nearly impossible for any mere mortal to use the "Ignore" feature as it was truly meant to be used.

As of late, and from what I have seen, it is mainly used as a form of punishment against those who have been deemed unworthy of the benefits of the sohc4 community.  The fact that many feel the need to tell someone that they are being ignored instead of just actually ignoring them only backs up this theory. 

[Duke McDukiedook]

Yep, it's a shame when someone that has good things to add to threads leaves us.
We will miss ye, Upper.

And yes, Canada is still America's hat.

Thanks Gordon, I must be on another forum, I don't see any ignore buttons under any avatar.

Sam. 

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

Sam, Sam who, is there someone on here named Sam  

Couldn't help myself. I never ignore the elderly. 

Hope to meet you in person one day Sam and let you buy me a beer. Seriously. I want to grow up to be just like you, except for the whities of course. 

Guess I'll have 2 ignores now. Dammit, I sure miss that 1 person whoever it is. 

Upperlake, stay in touch with us loonies some how. You're a good man.

[Sam Green Racing]

I thought you were going to buy me a beer, in fact I think it was a couple

Can you see any ignore buttons Jerry?

Sam.

[Jerry Rxman Griffin aka MuthaF'er]

OK fine. I'll spring for the beers.

Yes, there is an ignore button at the bottom under your links below your avatar but I am not pushing it!

[Sam Green Racing]

The only buttons that I can see under peoples avatars are, view profile, www, email and PM.

And yes Jerry, I hope we do get to meet some day, sink a few beers

Sam.

You're probably using an alternate format for the forum theme.  If I'm not mistaken, the "Ignore" feature only works with the forum default theme. 

[Sam Green Racing]

That must be it Gordon, I'm on the old format, I didn;t like the new one and someone told me how to keep on the old one.
Whatever this ignore is , I'm glad I've not got it, don't sound to friendly to me.

Sam.

Agreed.  I was on the old-style format until the "ignore" feature came about, and I switched because it seemed like a good idea.  I've tried it, though, and it doesn't work very well for me.  I can't help but click the "unhide" button on the posts from those I've tried ignoring, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of it. 

For an "ignore" feature to really work, it would have to actually make that person disappear completely, IMO. 

[Inigo Montoya]

Thats why I dont ignore anyone. I only mentioned it to laminar as he has it in his sig line.

[Sam Green Racing]

Is there anybody here   where has everyone gone

Sam.

I think people can learn a lot by studying those that they don't like - oftentimes when I find someone that really ticks me off, I'll realize I see a lot of myself in there. So no ignoring for me. If someone gets on my nerves, I have enough self control not to respond. This is the internet after all, but some people insist on treating it like seventh grade, and I'm just not wearing the right brand of shoes.

Not to hijack the thread any further - it's too bad when someone decides to leave for good. I wish him the best.

[Sam Green Racing]

I have heard from Dave but he didn't say why. Saying that I didn't ask him.

Sam.

I've found the ignore button to be quite easy to ignore.
