This is a question Off Topic

Are you a QOTWer? Do you want to start a thread that isn't a direct answer to the current QOTW? Then this place, gentle poster, is your friend.

Then could you please furnish me with an explanation as to why it is "ironic"
that QOTW has been stopped?

briefly, as i am posting from my phone
Man writes post about how B3ta is no longer a nice and pleasant place to write due to sniping and 'trolling'. Said post generates over 100 replies, most of which are sniping and 'trolling'.

Now, I'm not sure that the pulling of qotw is 100% due to the reaction to said post, but there is the possibility. If so, the irony would be that a post about how qotw has been spoiled, has resulted in it being permanently spoiled.

So, there is no evidence what so ever that QOTW was pulled because of that post
but, even if that were the case you are blaming the original post, rather than the sniping and "trolling" replies, for the hiatus? And you think that is irony?

I just want to make sure I'm clear on this point.

Nice edit BTW

the irony is compounded by the OP not even knowing what 'trolling' means.
And yes, irony in that the outcome is the opposite to what was intended.

what edit?
Situational irony in fact. An incongruity between intended and actual outcome.

I think one of the spoiled should be replaced with soiled
