If you do go to them, they may listen and consider everything, I don't think it's a TOS violation to post games. At least not in any forum I've ever been to. |
Here's the reply I got:
"Hi there,Usually in cases like this, the moderators go with the discretion of the Editor of the show guide, and whether the rules they set out for the forum allow for off-topic threads like game threads. Technically, any off-topic threads (threads which do not directly discuss the show in question) aren't allowed, but generally there's some leeway (one or two off-topic threads) if the editor wants it, so the moderators wouldn't step in and close the thread.
If the game thread was closed, and the person reported, then one can assume that the editor might have thought the person was violating the rules they set up for the forum, and the moderator agreed."
So I guess it's all about the discretion of the editor. As far as my two forums are concerned, I don't see anything wrong with game threads, as long as it's no more than 2-3 active ones at a time and I certainly don't consider it to be off topic.

I can't stand the editor over at the HM boards. Isn't the point of forums supposed to encourage debate and discussion? Not just 899999 posts of OMG I LUV MILEY? Oh, and one thing that bugged me was that he deleted the How old Jason Earles thread is.(Along with another billion threads no doubt) I mean seriously. And atleast give a reason when the thread is locked. 
But about iCarly and HM. I think I prefer HM sightly more because of my obsession of L/O. Some of their interactions are too funny for words. They are a class act. 
And of course Miley, Jackson and Rico are always fun to watch. The only person on that show that is just plain boring, dumb, and pointless, is Robbie. Seriously. He can't act. And I hate when he makes jokes. 
As for iCarly, I love the chemistry between the cast. They seem to be closer then HM. I can actually picture them as one big family, whereas with HM, it's just actors playing one on tv.

I guess as long as they are happy with running off all of their posters, its all good. Meanwhile we have a good moderator here that isn't running anybody off. Thank you Andrea! You are appreciated

Hahaha...all HM refugees should unite and do something about the editor over there. He's too controlling, and its like they're trying to subdue our freedom of speech...or rather freedom of discussion. SHeesh. So, for now, I think iCarly is right up there side by side with HM for me, but HM appeals to me only because there's Lilly and Oliver in the episodes. If there's not much of these two characters in the episode plots, most likely, I won't be watching it. |

I have a theory what thread bumping might be and maybe Andrea can help us out with this. I have every so often found a thread I like that has drifted to page 2 or 3 on the list because it hasnt been posted to. So I post to it so it will come back to page one and get attetion again. I guess if that is a sin, then I "bumped" the thread. Another form of it might be if there is a thread you hate, you could go down to threads before them and post to them so that they go to page 1 and the thread you hate slowly is pushed off of page 1 of the threads. Its just a theory.
The editor of Hannah Montana is probably because he thinks that his like superior(sorry if i spelled it wrongly) over the most watched TV show in the history of Disney 21st century. anyway, iCarly rocks way better than Hannah Montana. I mean i honestly think that Nick's jokes are better than Disney's. Their actors are more natural but not the singers. By the way, whose richer? Nick or Disney.

Meanwhile ICarly is not a show based on Carly being musical so whether the performers are capable musicians isn't that important. And whether Disney is richer is no indication of quality. Hugh Hefner is richer than both of them selling smut. That doesn't make him a better person to make shows for teenagers.

Right. That's exactly what it is. I actually didn't know myself what it was until recently.
But let's refrain from discussing the HM editor please. Thank you.
