With the changes to the forums I thought I'd dig out this file and post the quotes for posterity. A few weeks ago I ran across an old thread that someone started (sorry, can't remember who) of quotes that admin said when closing threads.
Enjoy!

Ha! Those are great! I moderate on a pet forum. It seems I need to get much more creative when typing in the "reason" box!
Sounds just like stuff admin would say except I do like this one.
If something you read upsets you, feel free to stop reading it.
