forum style
I am curious-i log on and see a gazillion people logged on, but little new posting- other than Will, some days.
what is everyone's style here, concerning posting on this board.?..it seems like many are "lurkers", ready to pounce on random posts, some are willing victims/ posters of really dumb things, and others are one-uppers.
i was considering posting something about turd shapes and consistencies (out of boredom), but held back, given that it might gross some people out.

I log on and check the New Posts counter in the corner and hit all of them to see what's of interest. I respond off of those.AngryEd wrote: what is everyone's style here, concerning posting on this board.?..it seems like many are "lurkers", ready to pounce on random posts, some are willing victims/ posters of really dumb things, and others are one-uppers.

I'm a stream of conciousness poster. This shit keeps me from working, so it's all good.
Also, I am beginning to think we should have a "No Holds Barred" forum (moderated by Lynch and AngryEd, ): a forum in which nothing is off limits/taboo. Your poop thread would be at home there. It wouldn't be a public thread, mind you, it would be a members only thread. That way, those with delicate constitutions (big pansies) could stay away and not get the vapors.

Re: forum style
After RandomBS the next 2 biggest forums are both Usergroup subscribed: Sports, of which you are a member, and Warhammer 40K, of which you care very little. So remember that for every post you read in Sports there's another post you're not reading about fraley not painting his models.AngryEd wrote:I am curious-i log on and see a gazillion people logged on, but little new posting- other than Will, some days.

Other stuff goes on in there too! Like me endlessly prevaricating over my final army list!
...and don't forget interminable rules debate.
To get OT: I am a lurker on most boards of whose content I am ignorant. I read every monster league post, for instance, not because I give a shit about fantasy baseball, but because your guys are such hilarious cautionary examples of humanity.
Specific, hobby related forums I use as organization tools and will respond more readily. I don't post new topics very often.

I tip my cap to you...

In case you haven't gathered, I use this forum mostly to hate on people. Once in a rare while I'll post something interesting I found on the web.McComas wrote: endlessly prevaricating over my final army list!

No! However will I fill the void in my life pass the time when I am bored.brett wrote:OK, I will take a vacation from the forums for a month or two.

OK, I will take a vacation from the forums for a month or two.
If you quit now, the terrorists win. As do the morbid gamers who are trying to kill me off in my "should I eat this" thread.
If I hit a million posts can I win a custom Rank? I'm thinking "Your Ship's Bartender" or "Bilge Rat" would be sweet.
