LOL, so do I. Even if their service wasn't very good I still tip 15%, and then feel guilty for not giving more. I'm such a wuss.

not sure what your motivation is at this point.

if you're concerned about acting more human ... you might want to drop the Pope routine ... and the eye rolling smileys in every reply to things you dont like.

As I've said countless times before, I've got no interest in changing this place at all. Or telling anybody what to do. And if those directories are what is giving everybody the all-over fidgies, why not put them to a vote. Yea they stay, nay they get replaced with comical pictures of Julie Andrews. It wont bother me(I've seen my work go down the tubes before).

Pope routine???? You'll have to expand on that one. Unless you mean I don't write like a knuckle dragger.

As far as smileys, some people don't understand what tone I'm saying things in, without them. 2 schools of thought. You may not like them, but some do. I'll try to remember you don't.*









*no smileys were harmed in the making of this post.**










**must resist urge to use smiley!

You may as well give it up...You CAN'T resist Urge...He's irresistible :p



Sorry...I'm gonna try to take on the big dogs for the comedy crown next year...My attempt will likely be stupid, but I'm no quitter :D


I'll bet you have NO idea what I'm talking about...haha

The only noobs that should be mercilessly bashed with their own shoes are the ones who sign up to spam something and then get argumentative over it (esp the "oh ! I just saw this great movie and you should, too, because I'm in no way associated with it !" noobs).

Actually, I was thinking that might be a fun little Halloween activity- coralling the porn spammers into the Database and tearing them a new one. I mean, it is a holiday!

they wouldn't care. they'll probably never visit this site again. they just sign up, make their hit, then move on to the next forum. now if we could track them down personally, and coral them all into a room with the rest of us, that might be an interesting activity.

by the way, festered, i love your ouatitw signature.

I think the things that V, Flayed and others have done to the forum and the efforts of our mods to clean up the streets has made us xenophobic and overprotective. I've seen only good intentions and friendliness from Leprucky Cougar, though her exuberance was scary, I see only the defense of a person who feels persecuted in Nella's post, which escalates into hostility, which makes some of us feel persecuted because of difficulties we or others might have had. This is particularly because it's just defense mechanism versus defense mechanism and no ill intentions are involved, except possibly in those who simply believe this place is cozy as it is and if these furriners come in here wearing red and dancin' on Sundays, then we might just have ourselves a witch problem. Did we authorize that lawn gnome? Is their mailbox regulation distance from the curb? The forum got the way you people like it by being inclusive and being a serious community that talks about horror and can have fun on its downtime. If we banned every newb that responded to old members with hostility every time they were attacked or saw others attacked, this place would be pretty small. I, for one would be gone and I'd like to think I tend towards being a pretty productive member. I've participated and argued my way through the last couple of the top lists, even heading up one of those projects. I've contributed blurbs and try to be generally helpful. There are some who do not and still are trying to drive a wedge between the forum and any new members who come about. In Festered, we have somebody with real enthusiasm for the genre who is willing to help out with new eyes and fresh perspective, Leprucky means well and wants to get to know everyone, Nella is a rarity. She's a new member who doesn't know much and actually wants to LEARN. Imagine if every clod who comes in posting 'Jasin roolz. I want some Jasin muvees. How bout Saw? If Jasin and Jigsaw got in a fit who wood win, bitchez?" stayed around to contribute and pick up some culture. That'd be good for fandom and good for all of us. Everything Urgeok said earlier was also dead on.

Yes! And what would Mr. Spock do in a situation like this? And is Han Solo cooler than Captain Kirk? Answer me that, bat-brain! ;)
