Even though I have heard that the read/unread timer is acting sporadically, and ruining people’s days?
You have some thick skin, I admire you!
If the aliens come and judge us by Yahoo or News comments, they will sterilize the Earth.
If you really want to mix it up with the dregs of humanity, participate in discussions with the ass clowns that infest the comments sections of newspaper articles. Illiterate, uninformed, bigoted, and aggressively stupid; a sack full of assholes with the good ones picked out.
Word.
My wife was reading through some of the comments posted at the bottom of a newspaper article on www.ajc.com (Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
She said over her coffee “God, people are getting stupider by the day”. I cheered her up (not) by saying “Yeah, but those are the ones actually smart enough to be interested in reading a newspaper article. Think how stupid the other 90% of the population of Georgia is.”
What band?
Just try the “No Holds Barred” section of liberalforum, it is a train wreck. Sometimes entertaining as people go over the edge, but it mostly makes usenet look like Sunday Brunch with Aunt Ellen.
What band?
98 Degrees!

I won’t post the link to the message board because I am pretty sure that violates SDMB rules, but it is pretty easy to find via google:D
"Other Fucking Message Boards Suck Major Ass!" Best slogan EVER!
That’s the best saying I’ve heard in a long time! I love it!
Nah, you see, that is the problem! I want specific info, so I go to sights for specific focus.
If I want to discuss The Attenuation and Distortion of 20-Kilocycle-per-second Alternating Magnetic Fields Propagated Through Sharpsburg Silty Clay Loam, why the FUCK should I have to wade through your cat photos and 3 paragraph study sig line of your Downs Syndrom Nephew?
Isn’t that what “The Facebook” is for?
This “Facebook” of which you speak… Is this not the way of the Normal?
To quote Don Jameson, That Metal Show, “I don’t know from this…”
I think its an East Coast thing.
I think, spelled properly, Face<-book is how you handle someone who is pissing you off.
Spacebook Facepages are for people who are more concerned with what other people think of them than they should be.
Inter-family communication my ass. It’s a new more widely spread form of e-peen stroking. My wife over uses it and I hate it. Way too many pictures of my infant daughter up there…
Every time I frequent an industry-related website mostly populated by amateurs and artistes (as opposed to artists, mind you), it’s all I can do to keep my mouth shut and my fingers still. What I’d like to say would probably get me banned; ergo, I don’t go over there very often anymore. It’s a pity because it does have some very helpful tutorials.
Not just your father, the entire board.
Imagine our delight, 12 years from now, when this very thread is resurrected.
I’d settle for a cat pukey smiley.
I can’t even deal with single-topic forums any more. At some point, you’ve said everything you want to say, and you’ve gotten every question on the topic answered that you wanted answered. After that, everything just keeps repeating and there’s no longer any point in hanging around.
Meanwhile, the SDMB will invariably have somebody who can answer any question on any topic I can think of. No reason to go anywhere else.
In my experience, most slow-loading sites these days aren’t because of the site itself, but rather their advertising affiliates. And bad coding that makes the ads load before the content. It just takes one down/slow adserver to make a site fail to load its content. This is the main reason I instaled Adblock. Though I had to go through and enable ads on all the webcomics I read, since those guys deserve to get paid.
Wait…there are message boards about fucking, sucking and ass?? Why have I been wasting my time here?? Sign me up!
I presume we are, of course, excluding from consideration those many boards that are about performing analingus on commissioned military officers?
