The Great Outage

Eh, why bother? It’s past the deadline and you’re not really “college material” anyway.

How does student apply? How girl get diploma?

Dear Colibri,

This was awesome. Please do it again more often. And take that “please” to mean “or else”. :smiley:

< /Not a Mod >

So is every post you’ve ever made on this board.

Oh noes! A dork on the internet doesn’t like me. Whatever shall I do?

Pretty much everyone detests you.

Go the fuck away.

I’m devastated. Where’s my blankie?

In defence of our friend Ramira, I suspect what happened was that his spelling was influenced by a similar word he was more familiar with - frottage. That’s probably it.

Could someone tell me why D’Anconia even bothers to read this board, much less participate? It’s clear he has no liking for the community we’ve built here.

Oh, well, Another one who gets tossed into the kill file. PLUNK!

I guess it’s like the really unpopular kid who hangs around and says and does stupid shit because negative attention is better than no attention at all.

As you can no doubt guess, I’ve just voted for “no attention”, and now I won’t be bothered by his idiocy. I like that.

Stop! Can’t you see this board outage is tearing us apart!

“The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices – to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill – and suspicion can destroy – and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own – for the children – and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is – that these things cannot be confined – to the Twilight Zone.”

I’m always bemused by people with your attitude.

Let’s assume for the sake of the argument that this board is a gigantic pointless gabfest with no real purpose or importance. And that anyone who cares about this place is - consequently - a gormless waster.

Accepting those premises for the sake of the argument, any way I turn it around in my mind I can’t come to any conclusion but that someone who spends their time poking fun at the gormless wasters and their unimportant gabfest is even more of a gormless waster engaged in an even more pointless activity with even less purpose or importance.

In other words, if we are first order losers, it’s hard to see how you aren’t a second order loser. Which has to be even worse.

Does Ramira frequently look outside and yell at the kids to get off his sand?

Her.

wow all this over a 24 hour outage ? some of the charter members should remember when the board was out for almost 2 months I think it was in 03 or 04

and they thought it was the same back then … they thought it was some pissed off poster…

But what was even funnier was tubadiva found us a temp home that was free hosting that we crashed in 3 hours from overload and she paid for an upgrade herself …

A theory: Fox News disabled and then severely restricted their comments feature, casting hordes of bloviating wingnuts into the outer darkness, and he’s probably been banned most other places. Maybe someone sent him here as a practical joke.

(emphasis added)

For someone who joined less than 24 hours ago, not only do you have a great sense of Board history, but your embracing that us/them thing, has come about remarkably quickly. Indeed, in your description of those long ago events, it’s almost as if you were there yourself! Your empathy is extraordinary.

ETA: Wait a minute. I may have misjudged things. Perhaps your ostensibly new membership is nothing more than a Outtage work-around.

Old member who needs a mod to connect the new name up with the old (no access to the old email account, according to a post in MPSIMS).
