Well, it just shows to me that we should always use protection when on the Dope, what with it being an active board and all. Remember, every time you post a reply, you’re posting a reply to every thread that poster has been with. ---

I don’t care what this site says. I’m still going to lie to all my non-Doper friends (idjits…all of them, but well, still friends) and say I post and belong to the biggest, best message board on the internet. “If you can’t dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bullshit” is what I say. And I do my part on these boards spectacularly! ---

I think the reason we’ve slumped down in the rankings is because of the crackdown on game threads. :shrug: I know both my post quantity and quality have gone down in the past 8 months or so, sorry about that guys. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Zyada \* > \*\*The top english site on that list looks like the ignorant, redneck version of the SDMB \*\* Hey! “Redneck” is not a politically correct term – unless you live in certain cities… Oh, Hi, **Zyada!** 😃 Those other boards were quite interesting, I must say. Corvettes, followed by Hondas?? Isn’t that somewhat like drinking a glass of fine wine, and then doing a jello shot? ---
