Well, today being Thanksgiving, and me being stuck home alone on a rainy day, I thought I’d venture out beyond the same ten or so Web sites I frequent the most.
Folks here seem to talk about Unaboard a lot, but looking at the registration information, it appears that you need a reference or recommendation from another person to get your registeration approved … that is, if I’m reading the registration information page correctly. Huh? What’s the deal with that?
No, that really only applies to people who show up out of nowhere, and aren’t on any of the boards most of our posters frequent. If someone’s Uncle Bob wants to register, Uncle Bob would have to say “Yo, I’m Poster X’s uncle Bob.” It’s just a way to make sure there aren’t any socks and trolls infiltrating the ranks… If you want to register, email me. I’m the only admin on the board today, and I’ll add you
My Board is not very good anyhow. It’s run extremely poorly, is down half the time for hard drive failures, and has a Membership primarily made up of sociopaths who write and critique “Absolutely Fabulous” fanfic and search for subliminal occurences of the Michelin Man in Spanish music videos (231 to date, according to Fenris.) There’s also a forum devoted to Evangelical Voodoo, run by Mama Haley, which sounded like a good idea at the time but generates the oddest posts. Odd and frightening posts, that make you rend your clothes and cry up to the night sky “how can there be a God that would allow such things to be!?” But I don’t dare get rid of it now - I’m in over my head.
I suggest you try the G’Dope. It’s a good Board, even if TheLoadedDog is a bitter, angry man who’s killed at least three Members that they know of. The problem is, see, it’s run from a prison library computer, so sometimes it goes down if TLD can’t buy enough computer time with cigarettes, nylons, and chocolates. Anyhow, I suggest you try it - I think it’s about 2am last Tuesday down there, so they’re likely all online now.
You have to have 100 posts and an IP address from Haiti. Or be a zombie. Zombies have some extra abilites as Members, but they can’t PM other Members (believe me, once you’ve seen a few dozen PMs that start out “Mmmmmmrrrrrrww… zzzzzsssshhh… braaaaainnnnnnzzzzshhh…” you really don’t need to read any more.) Zombies also can’t search, as they only use one keyword every time anyhow.
If you’re a zombie and want to join, send us your parents’ brains. Or write “Parents’ Brains” on a 3x5 index card, and mail to:

I’ll send you anyone’s brains you want if you will just please, please, finally let me into the “Red Hot Non-Stop Lesbian Orgy” forum. I’ve been trying to get in there for so long. So very long…it’s not like I’m asking to post, I just want to read. And look at the pictures. And watch the videos…
236 now. Including the “Ketchup Song” (Asereje). Which may be from Portugal, not Spain (or not. Accounts vary). But what the hell. It had 7 occurances.
But we’re down to 236, 'caues two of the ones you found in the Spanish dub of “Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows” were, in fact, the Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man on a frame-by-frame inspection.
Please disregard evertything Una says about the Unaboard being poorly run. The poor woman is obviously quite mad, and all that living in England has given her a dose of English modesty.
Seriously, G’Dope and the Unaboard have a similar, yet noticeably different, dynamic. I’m not about to match Una in the modesty stakes here - I’m proud of G’Dope for what it is. It runs on the smell of an oily rag, it’s fun, it’s chaotic, it’s flawed, it’s an electronic version of a beer with your mates in the backyard. The Unaboard, on the other hand, is a must for any self-respecting Doper. Una, Fierra, and their very cool administrators run a classy outfit. It’s slick and professional, and yet it doesn’t get too full of itself. I’ve never found it anything less than warm and welcoming, and Una has always been very forthcoming in drawing upon her freakin’ immense expertise in helping us over at G’Dope. I’m very proud to be a Unatarian.
I’d also like to take issue with what Una says about the way G’Dope is run. In actual fact, it’s only the chocolates which have any bearing on it, but that’s because they provide useful bribes for prison network administrator. The cigarettes all go to the guards, and I never even get to see the nylons - not if I take the word of my seven-foot tall Samoan cellmate Big Bubba as to what is good for me. Eh, as long as he’s happy.
Oh yeah, I’d also like to get a quick plug in for NADS, which is to Britain and Europe what G’Dope is to Australia and New Zealand. Jjimm runs a cool board over there. Check it out.
Notice how TheLoadedDog deftly avoids the issue of the missing members that Una mentioned. I was hoping he’d explain that as a misunderstanding with respect to the meaning of ‘banning’.
