Your Name, Your Thread
Tee hee. Cherry pits. ![]()
(Cherry Pitts. Headliner down at the Fruit Strip club. I suppose it’s too much to hope for the name isn’t taken, already)
McDonald’s has brought back their old school Hot Apple Pie and that’s all well and good. I intend to get one. What I’d really like to try again is one of their Hot Cherry Pies. Remember those?
I do but I always liked apple more.
I would certainly like apple better now but I preferred cherry as a kid. Same as regular pie.

This is an active thread, last post was 6/20
See the pit link at the bottom of this post
It’s an active link because you, dumbass, revived it.
Interesting factoid that I did not know: the pit link does not show to me, because I have her on Ignore, unless I un-ignore that post. I presume that’s because that link is to that specific post.
Missive from the south:
I was walking with Ivy, my trusty sidekick, we came across an effusion of mushrooms. She said “wow, those are orange”.
I’m thinking they look poisonous. As I wouldn’t know. I gave it a wide sidestep. And called Bayliss back from sniffing.
We passed on by.
Trodding along. I was thinking(uh oh. warning!):
You know how some things are bright and cheerful looking but hide a poisonous heart? ![]()
always…beck
That’s not quite right. There’s no rule against linking to stuff from the Pit. There is a rule against putting explicit insults to other Dopers in thread titles, specifically because the back link function will then put the thread title into a non-Pit thread, functionally breaking the “no insults outside the Pit” board rule.
Breakfast notes:
I had 1/2 Strawberry pop tart and boiled egg.
Not real filling, but fun.
b.
I had yoghurt and some muesli.
It were reet passable.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe if you link to someone’s post from the “Trolls” thread, it’s effectively calling them a troll in that other thread and it’s not allowed. Like, someone posts something I don’t like in a P&E thread, I link to that post from a Trolls thread post, and now that link appears in that P&E post effectively signaling to everyone reading that post that it’s a trolling post. Which is violating our rule about not calling someone a troll outside of the Pit.
I believe that’s the only situation where that’s not allowed though. Maybe Roderick was remembering that and extrapolating it to every link from a Pit thread.
I think that’s what Miller meant by ..
No, that’s different. Miller was referencing the rule that a Pit thread can’t say “Atamasama is a complete asshole” (regardless of whether or not it’s true; that one probably is), and now should say something like “Atamasama is pitted”.
The Trolls thread isn’t calling out a particular poster so it’s not violating that rule, but linking to a post from within that thread still has the effect of calling someone a troll outside of the Pit.
I suppose it’s possible to have future threads with generic insult titles, like “Bigots on the Board”, but we just don’t have them and probably don’t need them.
Funny thing happened on the way to the Forum:
mistaken identity, lost lovers, scheming characters, dads and daughters. Plot twists.
(mmmm..maybe gladiators)
Shit happens.
Have you ever put butter on a pop tart?
I haven’t, but it comes highly recommended.
Always. Actually today I put cinnamon honey butter on. This why I only got half.
Yeah. I suppose the troll thread doesn’t necessarily only contain posts calling people
trolls. It could be highlighting a particularly apposite skewering of a suspect troll
for example..
As you were.
