Why did the time thread disappear?

If you mean the stopping time thread, probs because the closet rapists came out in too much force.

I would guess this, people forget this is meant to be a family forum and all though most might find it funny, it's not really appropriate.

you've got to think that, although you may have no affiliation with OCUK other than using their forums and buying from them, that it is all too easy for a racist/sexist joke to be taken by some pollitically correct nutter as a view of OCUK as a company and sue them. the mods have a hard job but i think they do a good job [/brown nosing]

true, perhaps the dons have a certain criteria that they rate threads by? some pass and others don't maybe? :confused:

Like what? most threads seem to be moderated recently.

it is a family forum but to be honest certain areas seem to get away with a lot more (motors cough cough

)

I don't think that OcUK is overly strict as a forum. I know some places that are far stricter. There's a themepark/fairground site I post on, and your user name must be your real name. In the contrary, a Disney forum insists that you must not reveal your real name. You can't say how old you are and you can't put your deviantART / Facebook / Myspace profile etc in your sig or posts. Any Disney pictures you post must be uploaded using the forum's upload tool, otherwise off-site linking is regarded as 'advertising' your own site and gets deleted. The themepark/fairground site won't let you post pictures bigger than 640x480, so to be fair, we do have it pretty good here :-)

As was stated in that thread by a user, it was going in the wrong direction pretty much from the start! If you want to have a discussion about the science of it then feel free, but that thread wasn't the place.
