How about IBTD....In Before The Delete.
Looks like that's what happened to the most recent thread I thought would just be locked.
Of course in that case andybody who wasn't there would never see it would they?

I deleted the thread because it had turned really ugly and was a blight on Pinside. The troll comments were unnecessary, yet there is no excuse for some of the things that were said in retaliation. Trust me, there will be consequences. Let's just move on and try to get back to a more productive forum. Thanks, guys!
Quoted from gweempose:Let's just move on and try to get back to a more productive forum. Thanks, guys!
I will throw an "Amen" at that one.
I am mostly done with the SM shop. Just gotta work out some bugs. Dock Ock isn't recognizing that a ball passes the optic reader...sigh
Tackle it tomorrow!
Hey guys, sorry I helped stir the pot on that one. Like I said in the now deleted post, I will try my best to take the high road from now on.

Quoted from Saltimbanco:Could this be the original IBTL? If so, it should have been locked by now!
Wow! The_Gorilla has the IBTL achievement, but I don’t think achievements were a thing when this thread was started.
IBTL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This thing will never get locked then, lol! Thread has been forsaken by the mods for the last 10 years.. actually felt like Plistken entering abandoned New York when I saw that last post..!

Quoted from ForceFlow:Hey, you can't say that when you can say:[quoted image]
Forceflow,

Quoted from The_Gorilla:Let’s see if I can get booted from my own ancient thread! [quoted image]
Let’s see if we can get a 10 year anniversary Pinside Pinvitational up and running! 
Quoted from Mundy53:Thread lock champion has entered the chat.
He is probably still confused at to why ALL the other threads have been locked.
I might as well join in here.....IBTL
Quoted from Mundy53:greatwichjohn, can we use this as the new thread for you to provide updates on trailer trash pinball and your daily drinking habits?
No I was told no more threads & no off topic posting for me. For the record never asked for anything to be locked.

John , these are your quotes from 3 days ago, minutes before your last thread was locked:
"I like how people like closing down my threads, & this is the last one that I do on this build"
"Well there seems to be a bunch of guys pushing for a lock again, or in before the lock. Go ahead if that is what floats your boat!"
Wake up and realize you basically said, yeah, go ahead, lock it. That's for the REAL record.

Quoted from cogito:In such a life, with so little agency, the one thing one still can do to cope is to disguise one's ignorance as stubbornnes, and feign disinterest in the face of adversity.
Quoted from greatwichjohn:Got away with the biggest troll idea in some time. Thanks to the coach. Contrary to what people think not a dumbass or a alcoholic. But people thinking it helped out alot.
So it wasn't a major and continuing disaster, fueled by incompentence and denial? It was just a joke?
Are you seeing the pattern yet?

Never asked for any of my stuff about my project to be locked up. People continue to try to lock anything I am posting to. I was told not to start any further threads after I was given the ok to start my own build thread. Thread was locked up by someone & no reason has been given to me. ForceFlow seems to be the moderator, & I will honor his or pinside staff request not start anything further towards the build.
Nothing in my post you are quoting asking for me to lock up my thread (request). Glad to provide information of the build status, & pictures to the public here in the past. But it seems to create numerous problems.
