The ctrl-v threads (where your post consists of the contents of your clipboard, revealed using key combination ‘ctrl’ and ‘v’) were a lot of fun in my opinion because of the sheer randomness of what was in people’s clipboards. It also gave an insight into their what they were involved in before posting to the thread.
What with the current sdmb climate of game or post-count threads being off-limits. Do the ctrl-v threads fall under that category? If the answer is yes I won’t argue. I understand the logic behind banning certain things and respect it.
I’m not asking so that I can post one. I have no intention of doing so. I am just curious.
Please DON"T feel stupid, **Idle Thoughts[b/]. I do not think it’s humanly possible for our board to get any tighter. This is one reason I do not post much. I did quite a bit when I first signed up, but now it seems like you have a gun at your head every/any time you post anything other than dry questions. I suggest we just get rid of MPSIMS and IMHO, as they are, in fact, largely post-padding forums. Then the SD can be what it really seems to strive to be; a dry, fact-collecting / fact-disputing reference page.
Fact-collecting / fact-disputing, certainly. But I think that the general zeitgeist of the board would be much better described as wet. I mean, yeah, we’ll tell you what scalar weapons are (or purport to be), or relate the explorations of the oceans’ deeps, but we’ll have fun in doing it.
Don’t feel like you have a gun to your head. While we do have rules, the mods here are very good about giving warnings before firing. If you make an innocent mistake, you’ll be told to not do that again, not just banned on the spot.
