I think someone wins the Academy Award for Over-Reacting!

Give it a chance, guys! Change shouldn't be scary. The last title was insulting,
plain and simple.

I wouldn't exactly call the administrator over all of North America an outsider as well as a moderator for all of North America. The thread title was nothing to make fun of and highly inappropriate for SkyscraperCity. I've said it before and I'm saying it again as a moderator for all of North America. The thread does not belong on SkyscraperCity and my boss agrees with me. This kind of fun does not belong here. Take it somewhere else, CVG! There are lots of more trashy websites for this type of fun, not SkyscraperCity. There have been some changes at the top of SkyscraperCity. We've put our foot down, and we've put it down hard.

It was a crazy, wild ride but all good things must come to a ...start!

From here on, the chat stays but the embarrassing title is done!

I'm still on "Verve".
Are you sure verve should be capitalized?
Unless you're trying to make Verve happen, in which case it should appear as Verve!

Always with the semantics!


Here we go, "capitalized for your protection":

The Verve Restaurant and Lounge is in Atlanta at 511 Peachtree Street. The Sky Bar is every Friday. Can someone from Atlanta tell me more about it?

I could lock the thread or even delete it at this point if I wanted. I now have that ability, but the call belongs to desertpunk. I suggest you PM him. I have no apologies for ruining a thread that should have never existed. Q

I think we can all agree that this thread has run its course.
