lame "initiation" threads

Note to self: Add Sturnhauke to list of funny mother fuckers.

Yeah, I fucked your mother. And she said I was better than you were, bitch.

: Smiley to show I’m kidding and really can take a joke :

It seems that SkipMagic just closed the thread linked to in the OP.

OK, now we’re spoiling people’s fun. I didn’t think that it would feel this good.

I just had a vision of this thread degenerating into a bunch of “yo mama” jokes. Perhaps we should stop before we go down that dark path.

Well, mission accomplished. Sandboxes come and sandboxes go. Some people enjoy playing in them, some people enjoy paving them over.

Dress it up as “against the mission of the board” (in which case MPSIMS wouldn’t exist) or under the guise of won’t somebody please think of the hamsters!, but at the end of the day all you’ve done was made yourself out to be one sad little man who apparently can’t abide the thought of others enjoying themselves. Pity.

On the plus side, you’re now eligible to be a moderator!

I would have gone with “shitting in them”. It would invoke cattiness and, I think, better express the seething rage that you are no doubt experiencing.

Just wondering . . . Is there anyone who hasn’t been insulted somewhere in this thread? If so, I’d just like to say . . .
wanker!

Meh…it was obviously the first thing that came to mind, but no one here actively shit in the thread itself. More of a poo-flinging from afar.

Yes, that’s a much better metaphor. Anyway, none of us regular folks shut down anything. It was a Moderator who did it because it was in violation of the rules. Four or five people shitting out hundreds of posts of bullshit is better suited for somewhere else, in my opinion. Start a LiveJournal or something.

Haj

Yeah? Well I wanked your mother. In prison. Bitch.
(how was that?)

I think that’s excellent advice for people who are letting their panties ride a little too high about this: no need to make it a big deal. Either read the thread or don’t; either post in it or not. If you find yourself with sand in your hoo-haw over a mere thread o’ whimsy, you might consider turning off the computer and going outside for a breath of fresh air.

For the record, the paticular thread was closed because it had served its harmless purpose. It wasn’t violating any rules, but it had reached a point of being a bit too mundane and pointless. As I mentioned in the closing, twenty pages is a life long enough.

Wow, if that’s the only qualification, maybe I…?" :dubious:

But would riding boots be acceptable in place of jackboots? I’ve got the whips and spurs, though.

Whaddya want? Baskin-Robbins with 1 flavor?

Just for perspective, folks, The Pit has been challenged plenty of times as nonessential. It’s a question of overall balance, doncha know. MPSIMS is social arm of the Dope, just as The Pit is for flaming.

Not every forum will suit every taste. I only rarely read GD because it makes me both impatient and bored. To each his own. If you don’t like something, skim right on past until you find something that floats yer boat.

Veb

People come with the questions.

They stay for the banter.

I doubt people stay around because they have loads of ignorance that needs fighting.

And I take offence to being implied as the kind of person who wonders whether peanuts taste the same after they’ve passed through the human digestive system.

As many have said (in other ways). If you don’t like the ‘lame’ stuff posted in a forum that is designed for nothing but lame. Then don’t look at it. Piss off and have no fun somewhere else.

This is why I just jumped right in (in the Pit, no less) and started posting. No newbie harrassment yet!

What? No newbie harassment yet? Then you’d better go over to sturmhauke’s where he can give you a hug while Greathouse fucks your mother.

…“I got two words for you: learn to fuckin’ type. Because if you expect me to help out with the rent you’re in for a big fuckin’ suprise.”
:smiley:

It’s the world’s tiniest violin, and it’s playing just for MPSIMS.

I didn’t get one either.

But I like goats.
