Is anyone else reading the recent posts here and going "WTF?"?  I wasn't aware that the Fictional Highways forum is a game.

Let's be real, when has Fictional not been a marathon of WTF moments?  The fact that some consider it a game is one of the least surprising things I've read in a while.

Like all the threads on here this one went off topic and descended into silliness by post 3.

Not the whole Fictional board.  Just certain threads and certain users.

My reaction has been a lot of eye-rolling.  My "unread posts" list has been had an uptick in crap over the past bunch of weeks.  Can't imagine why.

I actually never got my initial question answered because this thread descended into silliness. But oh well.

Your original post has nothing but declarative sentences.  There isn't a question mark anywhere in it, nor in the thread title.

If nobody responded to the post none of this would have happened. If you think what I post is stupid that's fine but everyone is responding to it.

My point is that you didn't have a question for anyone to answer, so of course it didn't get answered.

If you hadn't posted such a banal bunch of statements, it wouldn't have happened, either.

My question is: where did that option go? Did it get removed in an update?

Edit: you guys are under no obligation to respond to my posts. If you don't care and don't want to respond, don't. Most people don't.

I also said "wonder where it went", which I thought came off as a question.

Alright, I guess so. Although this was actually a legitimate question I had about forum features but we have a silly bunch on this forum so not surprised it went in this direction lol.

Quote from: Roadgeekteen on October 06, 2025, 10:14:07 PMThe board I have the most posts in is fictional highways. And to be fair, my plans are crazier than FritOwl's, with interstates over oceans and in Europe so I think I win.

Winning against FritzOwl is not winning.
I will say I have more self-awareness than FritzOwl. I admitted that those plans were crazy and unrealistic. He never has and never will.

Winning against FritzOwl is not winning.
Well then I've lost against FritzOwl, as he consistently posts his plans and I haven't posted a fictional highway plan in like 5 years.

Losing against FritzOwl is also not winning.
So if winning isn't winning and losing isn't winning, maybe I need to tie FritzOwl. How to do that? I don't know, but I think this is needed.
Plenty of resources on the internet regarding bondage.  Just need to know where to look.

RGT is known for threads like this.  Seems fairly on brand for how his stuff usually go.  Some of the other Suggestion threads were mega pedantic and asking to go off the rails.

Yeah I don't think I should create threads in suggestions and questions anymore. These are all serious(ish) suggestions I think might be a good idea but yeah I don't think any of them are necessary so whatever.

I still don't have an answer to my original question. But I don't really need one if there isn't an easy answer, I'll be fine.

It's a very niche feature I haven't heard about previously. The only "question" from the OP that I could discern was "what happened to this feature," which is a question only a mod or admin can answer.
