so ive been to a few boards in my day and i have to say this board is not all that good
my very first thread and i got hit with a message asking if i wanted to upgrade to the gold dong member account, what kind of greeting is that for a new boarder
ok fair enuf your admin might need the cheddah to pay the bills but then i read the sticky saying that fun threads arent allowed cause they cost too much wtf
so now redeem your board and tell me what is actually cool about it
That message saying you aren’t a charter member will hit every time you try to post from now until a month from now, hip onion. Just so you know.
“fun threads,” or “Game Threads” as they’re called by the mods and most of us, were generally frowned-upon because they created a lot of traffic but not a lot of ignorance-fighting content. For more on this I’d suggest searching for threads with the word “Predict” in the thread title, since there isn’t a way of which I’m aware to search for the thread named simply “a”.
Obviously, having been here more than four years, I’m a bit biased as to the quality of this place, but I think you’ll find folks will give as good as they get (some will hug as hard as they hit:D).
This forum used to be overrun with those types of threads, at a time when the server was least able to handle it. If those are the types of threads you’re looking for, then the SDMB may not be for you. Not trying to run you off, just explaining the reasoning as I see it.
At any rate, enjoy your trial period. You too may become a Gold Dong member in the end.
This may shed some light on the fascination with dongs. Sometimes the inside jokes aren’t entirely obvious to folks who weren’t here for the original thing.
On that note, if someone comes in talking about 1920s-style death rays, I wouldn’t worry about it. Just sit back, relax and check a few threads here and there. You’re bound to find some people who feel like home:)
