I, for one, did not realize it, but the sticky about the Pit rules has been updated in what I consider significant ways.
I did not notice this, and I think it would be a good idea to publicize this a bit.
There is a thread discussing this in ATMB, should you be moved to comment.

Thanks for the heads-up. These two in particular are huge:
Thanks for the heads-up, Shodan. You are truly a fluffy, pink gentleman, well in line with the new rules.
The thread in ATBM:
Why yes, indeedy do. I, personally, had posted before I read the new rules gasp. It gave me the vapors, it did.
Well fuck me (that’s OK, right)?
Sometimes nothing fits the bill like a short and sweet “go fuck yourself.” I guess I’ll start using “go pleasure yourself” instead.
February 24, 2009. The day the pit died.
For clarification purposes, is the following acceptable?
“OP, I heard someone say you could go fuck yourself. Your thoughts on that baseless accusation?”
It isn’t me saying it! It’s hearsay I tell you! Nothing against the OP, just using you for example purposes.
Since you’re a poster, I think that merits a warning according to the letter of the new rules…
Ineed. 
What’s the matter? You guys don’t like puppy dogs and rainbows and Candyland?
I’m actually really confused. I fear change. And sad. I’m confused and sad.
This belongs in About This Message Board. I’ll move it there for you from the Pit.

Actually, I think it SHOULD REMAIN in the Pit. The point Shodan correctly made is that posters did not realize rules had changed. And since the other thread got promptly locked and now this one moved, folks will still come in and post threads w/o knowing the rules had changed. Yea, you’ve got the sticky at the top but people don’t always look at it - it’s there, all the time, I often don’t notice it, and frankly didn’t today.
I didn’t notice it either til I saw the closed Pit thread. Oh well, it’s not like the people in charge care. If they did, maybe they wouldn’t have completely changed the function and purpose of a forum after over a decade of that forum’s existence.
Since there is already a thread about this in ATMB, and this thread is now in ATMB, shouldn’t this thread be closed as a duplicate, or at least merged with the other thread which is already here?
Its a joke. March Fool’s Day is coming up. Its St. Swiving’s Day. Gotta be something like that, this is too braindead to be real.
That said, RR’s copulative proposal, expressed in the imperative, is deeply offensive to my deceased grandmother in both the wording and the intent. I should like to have him shot, if that isn’t too much trouble.
But not shot dead, right? Because that might be wrong.
A fine idea. Since the two threads are discussing the same thing, please direct your comments to this thread.
This is what I meant by starting the thread. Like wring, I did not notice that the rules sticky had changed, and I thought I would bring that to the boards’ attention.
I guess I should have included a link to the other discussion in ATMB to preclude discussions of the Pit rules in the Pit, where it is now forbidden.
I don’t see much purpose in a duplicate discussion, as Squink, so mods, feel free to lock this as you see fit.
