The Hank Pym Thread closed?

[Kyer]

Since Pym is literally about the only Marvel I cared about it has become rare that I come to this forum anymore.
Imagine my surprise to learn that his appreciation thread was closed.
Yeah, he got dissed, whacked, dissed, and whacked again in a horrible way with apparently Marvel's nod of okay, but why close the fan thread? Did Marvel threaten somebody or something?

I'm serious. Not getting why an Appreciation thread would be closed unless the commenters went really over the bend to such a point it wasn't worth moderating anymore.

ALL appreciation threads got closed at the beginning of the year. We had to make new ones.

[Michael Watkins]

so pervasive is the feeling that Hank Pym is the most undeservedly put-upon character in the marvel universe that people have taken to creating entire threads to pity him.

That feeling is not without merit. Hank is one of the most put-upon characters in the Marvel universe by other characters in the Marvel universe, Marvel writers and some fans who seem to be unable to move on from the sins of Hanks past and treat him like a monster or a ticking time bomb.

Follow this thread, friend! ^^^^ I started it early this year when I saw some appreciation threads were closed (randomly, it would appear). As someone else said, there was some problems with the forums, and if I recall correctly the admin thought closing some threads might help. Can't remember the details... sorry about that.

The Hank Pym thread is not very active these days since there is literally nothing new to talk about But I'm really happy to see a fellow Pym Pal!

Woah, wait just a minute. When did Pym Pals become a thing? Was it officially voted on? Cause I vote nay.

Quick read through and I want to apologize for everything.
This past year my dad died of two diseases (the doctors called it a toss-up of which one actually killed him off first) so I forgot about the closing of threads.
Then after starting this thread I found out a good friend and neighbor is dying from a stroke and is not expected to live much longer. Then mom had a mini stroke or something....
So utterly forgot I'd made a thread until went searching through my History due to a computer glitch.

Anyway, yeah, if there is a new HP Thread in existence would appreciate a link to it. Pym became my favorite from the cartoon show. Before that I had a kind-of liking for Cyclops--also from a cartoon show.
(Yes, yes; I can sure pick 'em.)

I am so sorry for your loss and your hardship

I'll copy for you the link to the Hank Pym forum so that you won't have to scroll back up.

Take good care of yourself.

Well, I think it was sort of a tongue-in-cheek joke at some point, to counter the "Carol Corps". It's not an official thing, so you don't have to use it I find it kind of funny myself

Thanks for that. Today I found out another good friend's significant other died.
It's....
It's been a year. Definitely... a year.

Pym Pals? How about Pym Persistence? Because I'll probably keep checking to see if they revive him for quite some time just like I refuse to give up on Wally West being treated with some respect.
Eventually.

Yeah. I think the one you had bookmarked got closed. Most appreciation threads had to be rebooted.

Since this is presumably going to be an annual thing, would there be a way to insert a link to the new thread in the final post of the old one when this happens next, to prevent similar confusion? Kyer may be the only one who made a thread about it, but there may be other infrequent posters who just don't know the thread they'd been following (maybe only responding to it when they got a notification that it had been posted to) was closed and a new one started in it's place. It's a bit of a logistical problem though since the new thread will only be created once the old one is closed, so it would have to be up to the mods to add the link.

[Triniking1234]

To be fair it's not supposed to be an annual thing. There was some problem where posts kept vanishing and the only solution was to open a new thread. Makes me wonder how there's a 2019 Shuri thread when the original isn't plagued with the posting bug.

[Digifiend]

They closed ALL appreciation threads. In at least one case, the thread had been created in December 2018. It was a stupid decision. It should've been all threads with a certain number of posts, not all appreciation threads.

The DC Comics section has a stickied thread called the DC Comics Forum Directory. The person who made that thread seems to be gone, so it's not been updated and is effectively obsolete. The Marvel forums don't have that problem, because I'm the one who made the equivalent threads (Appreciation Thread Indexes - linked in my signature). It's caused a real mess though, as now there's locked threads mixed in with open ones (can't update the character thread links until someone makes a new thread for that character, you see).

I will just leave this here...
