Good to see it has been downgraded.
Always better than upgraded huh?

No need for a new post for this, please move this to the Earthquake Watch post. Now there will be a couple more posts on this because no one checks to see if it's been reported yet. This site gets lamer every day. Xenongod

Have they made you moderator or admin when no one was looking? If the site is so lame. remove yourself from it and seek enjoyment elsewhere.

I have family that live in California. I am NOT checking the Super-Quake Watch thread for it's hundreds or thousands of posts to see what may have happened TODAY, and it's what I look at New Topics for. I appreciate the OP posting this, even if it is a Dupe (oops...it happens).

I've had more than one 6+ quake report with the same "I'm special so I can tell you where you are allowed to post it' crap, tagged on with a reply in minutes. Enough with the Mini-Mod delusions. If you aren't staff, stop acting like it. It's not cute. It's pathetic. (hops off soapbox) ..I had to get that out. It's become several times PER DAY for people telling OPs where they can or cannot post and what they can or cannot share. :shk:

One look at your thread history and I can see you are an authority on lameness. Let the mods do their job please.

OP-thanks, star & flag

Thank you for your replies

I was not aware that I had to post in some gigantic watch thread that I know nothing about....

I have lots of family in California too.



Edit: I found the thread....95 pages....really?? Whatever

Haha, okay you seem to need a life here, not even a year old member with way too many posts in that time. You can have your pathetic life, have a nice day.

I wish I felt it

Wait, so because someone actively posts and shares their thoughts, they have no life?
I'd say mini-modding is more of a no life than a post count.

Anyways, glad to hear there's not any immediate damage, hopefully everyone's okay.

Thank you for this thread...I have family in California...and they are safe. Hopefully this quake was just that part of the earth letting off some steam (so to speak) and adjusting itself.
