I'm pretty sure the problem isn't that Rick Astley is less OK then the horse vid. It's more to do with the fact that the SUWGOMH video is labeled as NSFW, and everyone knows what it is. Hidden linking can cause a lot of problems, and is actually outright banned on many of the sites I frequent. If I post a tinyURL, you don't know what it is. Might be kittens, might be fetish porn. Don't know 'til you click. I think that's the problem here. 'Course I could be wrong.
If the thread was really just deleted because people are bored with Rick Astley, I call shenanigans. I don't think that's the case, though.

Jarvis, I think you might be a bit off. I mean, it's been done over and over, but some classics are too good to let die. Look at Kyrian. This video is definitely an appropriate take on the situation I believe.

For the first few days the horse video was not tagged as NSFW. That was added later. And if we are going to keep things equal then it should have been treated the same way. I could accept it if a NSFRORR label had been added. That stands for Not Safe For Reason Of Rick Roll. Technically then Mels post should be deleted since it does not clearly state what "video" it is taking you to. It could be kittens or fettish stuff but instead it actually Rick Rolls you. HAHAHA Really, I just would like to not get censured on a board that I frequent when I did not do anything worse than post a "gotcha". It was not harmful or unsafe for small children and will not do irreparable damage to anyone. It may make a few people smack their heads with their hands but so do a lot of other posts on this board.

Look at Kyrian. well sir, i think you're going to have to apologize to kyrian for that analogy, because now would be a great time to kill rick rolling forever if you still find it funny, your sense of humor is broken, i mean goddamn yes, humor can be objectively measured, deal with it ok

I think all this debate clearly shows a lack of events, Rhun closer is so far away we are forced to discuss rick rolled humor. I mean rick roll is bad enough, but a discussion of rick roll.

On that note I'd like happily point out that the most drama hydra seems to entertain is whether or not an internet meme involving a one hit wonder 80's pop artist is worth keeping on our boards.

You would think that's all that's going on here, wouldn't you?

This thread has, in a weird and quite twisted way, made the whole thing worth it. Whether you agree with the notion that it was just harmless fun or believe that it is the most abhorrent thing to grace these boards, at least everyone is being civil and having a little fun with it. BTW, nice picture Salamander. Gold.

Ohhh...that's what that's supposed to be. I thought it was some misshapen dog. I should have noticed the cloven hooves and the camel-like back.

For the first few days the horse video was not tagged as NSFW. That was added later. FWIW, the NSFW was added when that video was posted....I know cause I posted it.
