Despite ponying up the money for a membership, and re-upping when the year was up, I haven’t been to the SDMB for about six months… until now. So, what’s been going on on the SDMB since I’ve been gone? What notable threads have I missed in all the forums? What controversies and celebrations? What annoyances and enjoyments?
Anyhoo…
You missed a few things…
George Bush signed up as a guest member but left after he ended up spending all his time defending his policies in Great Debates.
The Chicago Reader had a online contest and gave away a million dollar prize.
There was a scandal in Celebrity Death Pool when it was discovered that somebody was paying the people on their list to fake their own deaths.
We were crashed by a bunch of Neo-Nazis but by the time they left we had convinced them to renounce their beliefs.
We had quite a steamy “Describe Your Favorite Sex Fantasy” thread going before the FCC stepped in and made us shut it down.
Cecil Adams answered a bunch of questions about his personal life but we all had to promise not to repeat anything he said.
It took weeks for the board to recover form the “Everbody Gets To Be Moderator For A Day” fiasco.
Aliens invaded Earth and the CIA recruited the collective intelligence of this board to develop a plan to defeat them and conceal all evidence of their existence.
December made a brief re-appearance and announced he’s changed his political views and is working on Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Election campaign.
You’ve heard that Bosda wasn’t reachable by email for a brief period this week?
Many Dopers expressed Dismay at this frightening turn of events.
The Devil (or maybe just the Robot Devil) threatened to take us all to hell if we didn’t compose the greatest thread of all time so we composed a great thread and the devil had to admit it was the greatest thread of all time so he couldn’t damn us to hell. And he went away. But then a mod accidentaly deleted the greatest thread of all time and no one can remember what they wrote. So all we can do now is pay tribute. Tribute…to the greatest thread of all.

A bunch of threads got moved from one forum to another. Some threads were opened to complain about it. One thread was opened in ATMB to ask where a thread the poster wanted to open should be posted; that thread got closed.
We missed you. What, you been away from a phone for six months? Don’t you know, we worry?
Regards,

Not all his time. Remember the pit thread?
Yea, that’s the one …
You shoulda hung out man! You shoulda hung out. Five minutes after you left. The cast of “Family Guy” showed up and banged us all. Even Ed got a little.
You realise of course that since you have blown the cover story that we will need to eliminate all leaks including you.
We’ve welcomed yet a few more kinds of overlords. Also, penis ensued.
“…and then the penguin walked in” became a cliched catch-phrase that everyone was using for awhile. But now we’re all sick of seeing it, so don’t try it.
