Please respond with pictures and text (or videos and text). Want to see how the private page functions now that I can access it again (looks like it was updated).

My Travis impression.

Just to let you know, I turned tiger on temporarily to post this image because old Kinja won't let me.

This is as good of a place as any to test embed a Michelle Jenneke video.

How do you expand the picture? I think it's expandable but I don't see "expand" in the corner anymore

Hey Gamecat, what happened to the comments on Atte's resignation post? I know he wouldn't dismiss supportive comments.

Regarding a matter we had dealt with a few weeks back. Not sure if anything can be done...

But I thought you might want to see this. This is regarding a recent post I made elsewhere. I believe this falls under the title of some sort of harassment...?

Hey IHAC,

It looks like when the post shifted times, the replies got hidden. If SKZ moves the post back to the original date, I would guess they would be there.

It may. I'd try to ignore him, but if you see him following you around to other articles, this might be worth bringing up. It's possible that both of you just have very similar interests and strong opinions.

If it continues, I'd definitely bring it up.

Hey Nuclear Kitteh,

Nope, he bumps that post on a daily basis to keep it on top of other posts on his personal blog and the comments were always there. Niccolo got on Atte's account to fix it for everyone's sake, but nothing worked. None of the following worked:

-Deleting and uploading the top image

-Changing the dates back and forth

-Moving it to drafts and back

-Changing the publishing option

-Un/recommending the post and the top image

Niccolo said that Atte's drafts tab was bombed with comments from the resignation post and comments that he purposefully dismissed from another post on his personal blog. Niccolo thinks it's either a bug or a sad soul with mod privileges dismissed them.

I texted Atte to let him know what's going on. Will you get somebody on this?

Where was it originally posted? To SKZ or to Oppo? If it's on SKZ, then no one other than SKZ could dismiss it. I see it's currently on SKZ's page, and not oppo. Was it always there?

Yeppers. Always. The only thing that changes is the timing for the purpose of bumping it up.

When a post originates from someone's personal blog, no one can dismiss threads from that page other than the blog owner (in this case SKZ). I'd contact Gawker help for this.

For instance, if you created a post on your account, the only person who could dismiss each thread would be you.

All right, then it's a bug. I'll contact Ernie with a link to this conversation. Thanks!

BTW, the pic was taken by Sandy Skoglund. Awesome photographer.

I remember seeing that photo in a post somewhere with some other amazing pieces... Lots of work in the setup if my memory serves.

Yeah, these cats were made of clay and painted green.

I contacted Ernie. Now we wait.

Hey Gamecat, tomorrow is Atte's last day, so I won't be needed here. Thanks for giving me the chance to be part of the community.

BTW, this must be a huge relief for those who are still stuck in the past. LOL.

Hey GC, surprised to see me? Niccolo did a sweep and dismissed dickish and shit-stirring comments on Atte's last post for you. Where were you during all this was happening? You can use that post to weed people out.

BTW, if you care at all, Atte is doing all right.

Not at all surprised to see you. You've been on and off here for years. I've been in a class with extremely limited access to getting online, and haven't really had a lot of time to get into the comments.

I'm happy to hear that Atte is doing well, hopefully he will enjoy the break from these parts (even though he loves this place, I know it caused him a lot of stress), and I would also hope that some of the issues that he raised are resolved.

Say hi to him for me if you don't mind. Let him know that some of us will miss him, myself included. I try to find the best in a lot of situations, and perhaps a break from here can be an opportunity to reset and relax and find a little bit of extra time.

Cheers!

All right. Well, Pauljones and SnappyItalian should have stepped in. I know a lot of mods don't like Atte for all the great things he did here. But they have to be fair because like you said, the rules apply to everyone, mods included. Someone undismissed one of the shitty comments, but Niccolo nuked it again. I don't know what goal they're trying to accomplish. They're only making themselves look like dicks.

Yeah well, Atte wrote a heartwarming post on our forum about his experience here. He loves a lot of people, including you. (You're high up on the list.) He then completely disabled comments across the entire forum for a moment of silence. It was pretty funny. Atte is spending more time off the internet, but when he's online, he's a totalitarian mod. So yeah, I'm pretty sure he'll be fine. Not at all, I'll let him know you said hi.

Niccolo said he's still looking for a way to make Kinja more colorblind friendly. You can help by pushing Ernie to do something.

BTW, I was here when we had private message system and Twitter inference like hashtags and @'s. Damn, that was a long time ago. LOL. Hey, one of the early versions of Kinja had the commenting system you have today.

I responded to Atte via email. I'm looking at some things as I have time to see if I can figure out what's going on with the dismissing stuff. I'll let you know what I find out if I can determine anything.

yeah, I was here back when there was a messaging system and "@" and you got emails when someone responded to you. =)

All right. I sent Atte a text to check his email. I'll continue checking in for updates. Have a nice day.
