yeah I don't think that Sports & Leisure should be in the same category. Sure, for many people these are in the same category, but for many people, these are not. For me, leisure does not involve anything to do with professional and quasi-professional teams of blokes playing American football, football, baseball, basketball, and so on. These topics are spam to me. Therefore, Sports & Leisure should be split up into two separate categories, and everyone who posts in "Sports" a lot should be banned from the board.

I kind of wish the old-school /b/-tards would go back through BBS and Usenet archives (it is on Google, kids!) and see how it was done back in the old days. Then they could build on that instead of blindly reinventing the wheel.

Also, blokes don't play American football.

you can build your own message board and divide the categories as you see fit. in this universe, this is how it goes.

Who was that high functioning autistic who used UBB as his own personal blog, starting threads and then commenting on his own threads? Didn't he have hundreds ot these threads? It was very sad until someone with a lick of sense, I am thinking Wombat because she is sensible and bite sized, pointed out that he was using it as a blog rather than traditional blog software.
Confidential to Mr. Wonderful in Internetland: The original work by Swift had its genius in that it sounded very similar to arguments made at the time, only taken to its logical extreme. The reductio ad absurdum lead people to question their prejudices and preconceptions, and the ground upon which they one had stood ideologically. Saying any old stupid shit and then saying "LOLOL MODEST PROPOSAL" only serves to undermine the lulz here. It is mixing two trolly tactics: absurdity and reduction to absurdity, which are blatantly different things. Troll better. We BELIEVE in you.
-
Come on, we're all nice people here. Shouldn't we be sympathising with Mr. Wonderful? It's a terrible thing never to have played Trivial Pursuit.

Ya know, I do. He seems often lonely, and occasionally angry. And who here doesn't know loneliness and anger? (I could be entirely mistaken and his life is full of laughter, friends, hope, and harmony.) Also, I really enjoy Trivial Pursuit. Anyone know of an online version that some of us could meet up for and play at a certain time?

well I'm sorry if I'm not trolling exactly how you think I should be but if I was trolling (which I'm generally not) then maybe INADEQUATE TROLLING SKILLZ could be a method of trolling?
Come on. I just say stuff 'cause I think it's funny, or clever, and in my mind, it is. just because it comes off to someone else as maladroit, awkward, idiotic, embarrassingly pathetic or socially backward or whatever, doesn't mean it's low quality trolling. I am who I am and I'm not going to change just because someone isn't happy with that, especially if that someone won't even bother to put forward any kinda explanation or thesis as to why who I am isn't good and what exactly I should change into. I mean come on, most of the negative comments contain nothing but implied criticism... e.g. "let's everyone pay attention to alreadyinuse" and 'alreadyinuse's criticism is unconstructive.'
Basically, if you pay attention to what I say long enough, and if you are at least modestly good at solving puzzles, sooner or later you start to understand my way of thinking. And then you're fucked.

An inadequate method!

maladroit
You know, I really like the word adroit. Well, adroitly, anyway. But not maladroit. But I do like the sound of inept.

That picture has been viewed over a quarter of a million times. That's the most popular picture on Flickr I've ever seen.

This one beats it. I know the person who took the picture, but who made the flyer is still a mystery.
And conveniently, it's also a dog photo.

Yep, that one has more views, but the other one has more favorites and comments. Both are pretty awesome though.
I thought my photo (http://www.flickr.com/photos/pmcd9/1357460838/) with 45 thousand views was doing alright.

Yeah man, these are pugs, not some fuck*ng lolcat.

That should be the new breed motto.

I am on another board where veteran posters "puppy" ridiculous/stupid/offensive threads. That's two boards now. I wonder what that says about me.
-
On Consumerist they disemvowel posts they don't like. That's pretty neat.

Is that such as a real thing? Do breeds have mottos?

I don't think I am, really, but I hope that's ok. I'm kinda the Grand Galactic Inquisitor of the board:

I don't think most do, but as usual, pugs think they are special. It's "Multum in Parvo," extremely loosely, "big dog in a little body."

I'm not the retard(s) who keep(s) posting dog pictures. oh wait I am now since I'm tit-for-tatting, but, I didn't start it. If people have something to say to me that is best expressed by spamming the board with dog pictures, maybe they should just shut the fuck up already.

gross. she smokes. I mean, and look at her face. it's got 'ignorant bitch' written all over it. not sexy. not cool. not a good comment.

I kinda see why you would say that, but you forgot to consider that nobody likes you here or finds your input valuable in any way whatsoever.
Also:
I didn't start it.
Relax, buddy, this was just another one of those pathetic developments triggered by your mere existence. By now I'm sure this is a recognizable pattern in your life...

To the moderators: Say, I saw a functionality in another board where you could ignore a certain poster's posts just clicking a button. Do we have this here somewhere? It would be delight...

I think you should write to the mods and try to get them banned, or at LEAST get them posting on topic. You and me, Mr. Wonderful, we had an nice little message board until these dog posting assholes came along and just started picture spamming everything.
Right?

The closest thing we have that I know if is the ability for admins to delete an account and every post an individual has ever made, so that it appears that person never existed.
We've only done this once, and I don't like doing it, because it screws with otherwise interesting threads. But it's the easiest, fastest way to deal with someone like...dare I mention?...THA SUGAH RAIN.

Man, now I have more pug pictures than is necessary for any man in his mid-20s to have...

Yes, it is a good picture.
