What is this other board everyone keeps talking about? There’s some board devoted to monitoring/criticizing the SDMB, or what?
About the equivalent of 4 or 5. I normally pick up something to eat on Friday nights but I chose to cook instead because otherwise I couldn’t justify spending the diaper money on it. We normally get pizza or chinese or something, not Whoppers. I feel pretty guilty about it too as the oldest looks forward to it.
Now I have a little extra to spend, so maybe I can make it up to them.
You won’t find any links on this site to that one. (Mods preventing board wars.) There used to be a link in the Wiki page about SDMB.
And to your second question, yeah. I do think it’s pretty darn sad, truth be told. I would have never even dreamed that there would be a board with one sole purpose of making fun of the posters on another board. As they say around here, “bizz-aah.”
Relax, Blanche. What happens on that board stays on that board. No one is going to ban you for something posted anonymously elsewhere. They are not simply mendacious deviants, but are in fact drooling Pavlovian retardswho can barely complete a sentence without wandering into some dimwitted joke about forcible sodomy or self-abuse. The place is a gaseous, festering mire. The only thing to do is stay upwind from it.

Yes, I want to know also. Ok, so we cant have a link. But a name? A hint of a name? A link to a Google search? 
BrainGlutton:
Hint hint.
Shut up attention strumpet!
No one gives a flying fig’s uncle.
It’s been mentioned that it used to be in the Wikipedia article on the SDMB. If you are familiar with the Wikipedia, you’ll know that old versions of articles never really go away, they are just hidden.
I’m not understanding the vitriol towards Blanche (unless it is coming from the other board’s participants). While I don’t find her posts to be anything special, I’m sure there are dozens upon dozens who feel the same of my posts. However, here we have the SDMB equivalent of yelling “JUMP” to the guy on the ledge. Reflects much more poorly on the posters yelling than on the OP.
Uh oh, I used I a few times; I must be an attention-whore myself. Doh! Two more, plus a myself. I can’t help myself. Doh![sup]2[/sup] I did it again. And again. Help me…there’s another one…
Jump, JUMP!!!
Actually, I think there is (or at least there used to be) two boards dedicaced to criticizing the SDMB and its posters. But I keep forgetting their names, so I can’t help with a hint. The link on wikipedia’s SDMB page was quite convenient but it isn’t there anymore.
When I read the thread title, I expected to read about this post.
In answer to the thread title, no, you did not deserve to be (and in fact you were not) called a whore for the post to which you linked in the OP.
I agree, my idea of what the thread would be about was much different from what it actually was.
I think the biggest issue is what Beadalin mentioned, that if people really spoke their minds then presumably someone (maybe the one who talked about you on the snarkboards) would have stepped forward and told you they thought you were a sock–and that can be explosive.
If I were you, I’d go defend myself on the snarkboards. AFAIK socks tend to ignore allegations that they’re socks, because it draws attention to themselves that they don’t need. If the snark union believes you, cool. If not, fuck 'em–not your problem.
“Attention whore” is a lexeme wholly independent from the word “whore”. The meaning is totally different although one is derived from the other. The former is a pretty mild Internet label, and you shouldn’t associate it with the latter.
I don’t say it because I have a strong aversion to the use of the word “whore” as part of any non-literal (by literal I mean someone who literally exchanges sex for cash/drugs) meaning. That doesn’t mean that’s what mods are calling you. It’s a different “word” and you have to understand it for what it means, not the secondary images it conjures up, if you intend on posting on Internet message boards IMO.
Er, no, you weren’t talking about yourself. You were starting threads that were all about soliciting other people to talk about you. Not in some tangential or secondary way, like an advice thread, but in an “Everybody look at me!” way. Maybe that’s not what you intended, but that’s the end result–a thread all about you. That’s what “attention whoring” means. Obviously (to me) you’re not being malicious or intentionally drawing attention to yourself, but you seem to be misunderstanding what’s going on. Hopefully this thread will help you out in that department.
That’s just the snarkers snarking. Don’t worry about it. The mods have a pretty good idea of who you are by this point and if you’re not a sock you have nothing to fear.
Oh, come on. I’ve tried to be gentle in this post, but get off your fucking cross. This board doesn’t revolve around you. Why would anyone care enough about a guest to try to drive them out?
Could someone explain to me what the hell this other board is supposed to be? From the oblique references, I get the hint that it’s Not To Be Spoken of here, but maybe someone could email me a clue.
Seriously, WTF?
Blanche, as long as we’re talking about you…
[sub]are you hot?[/sub]
Well, what do you know? Blanche really IS a whore. How about that?
iamthewalrus(:3=, they’re about talking shit about Dopers. Mostly anonymously. Hopefully someone will email you some more specific info, I don’t have links anymore and I lost interest in them pretty soon after I figured out what they were.
Blanche, I would like to add that if someone calls you a drama queen, you are not officially considered royalty.
Don’t call her that, or she’ll hit you with her bag of quarters.
