This was one of the best threads on Moo a month or 2 ago.

AW mod Alkis Tsapanidis had blatantly and unfoundedly called a user a liar in an AW thread.  When the accused proved him wrong he admitted it in a post in the same thread.   A Moo poster quipped that some one should grab a screen shot before the thread was deleted.


If I remember this one correctly (it was back in April) Alkis was very sure that when someone was banned you could change your avatar and he thought someone who was saying otherwise was full of it saying it was not possible.  To his credit he checked it out afterwards to be sure, saw he was wrong, manned up and admitted it on the Moo.  He took responsibility for his mistake.

Now its an interesting slight of hand you seem to be attempting here, because the thread's removal had nothing to do with that exchange.  It had to do with the overall content of the thread which was IIRC about avatars made to look a penis, it might have even been animated, using part of a design element from the A-Eon website with embellishments.  AW.net is a privately owned family website and the decision, which you are free to disagree with had to do with that content.  It had nothing to do with a "cover-up" to "protect" Alkis.  If Alkis wanted that he would not be admitting his mistake on the Moo, now would he?

This is your example of threads disappearing as easily as an American hiker crossing into North Korea, or what someone else said was still a weekly occurence at the site?  Meh.

I don't see Linux overtaking either OSX or Windows any time soon, do you?


There's 160.000 Android phones being sold per day that disagree with you
