Forum Overview :: Rants :: I'm honestly curious how they found the thread

[quote name="than everyone else"]Not in a OMG YOUR AMAZING DETECTIVE SKILLS kind of way, but just wondering the implications of each possibility. 1. Someone there besides me has an account there, reads this site too, and decided to stir things up. Maybe it was their passive way of airing criticism without it coming from them, a bannable offense. This is probably the least likely. 2. Someone here made an account to message them about this thread for the lulz. Instead of brushing it off as who cares what some tiny other site thinks, half a dozen mods explode in defensive anger. 3. Some admin there is constantly monitoring link traffic and traced some back to this thread. The same explosion from #2 occurs. #1 is unlikely, and #2 and #3 both irrefutably expose the sham at how this whole thing isn't about taking a break for family time, it's a bunch of tinpot assholes exercising impotent power for power's sake. I can just picture these assholes locked up in dingy den, trying to drown out family conversation from the next room, in order to keep mashing the refresh button for forum traffic and handing out infractions. I bet you ten thousand dollars the entire admin/mod collective is trying to find out who I am over there, and another ten thousand that they tell their family to open presents without them while they find it out. If they don't outright skip it, they'll at least constantly be glancing at their phone during the whole thing.[/quote]
