Oh. Okay then...puts away the paddle...

Our identity is fine. We're a small, easy-going message board currently populated almost exclusively with current and former members of the SDMB. That's enough for now. It's the small and easy-going part that dominates, for the most part. The latter just means that SDMB threads tend to have more legs than other topics, simply because it's the one thing all of us have in common.

SmartAleq · #61 3rd November 2009, 07:44 PM

Giraffe, that's just not enough! You need to change the identity of the board RIGHT NOW, the monkey says so!!

OK, as of right now we are the number one place to discuss celebrity hairstyles and bestiality with a Cockney accent on the entire Internet.

In my experience, worrying too much about what your message board's identity is going to be is a good way to make a message board whose primary purpose is discussing what your message board's identity is.

I fail to see how you have any experience that's relevant to this situation whatsoever.

Yes, that's right. My message board's purpose has, um, obviously evolved past that little obstacle. *cough*

What, that sci-fi kind of evolution where it transcends physical form and into pure energy?

Then again, I suppose that's kind of what a message board is anyway.

OMG. Message boards are the pinnacle of human evolution.

That's cool. You invited me here, so I hope you know that I'm not really hating on the board. I only sorta stand by what I said. I'm the monkey, sometimes I'm right but I'm never all that serious. And man it's nice to be able to tell somebody to fuck off in a forum called "the pit". It's cathartic.

No worries. It's a perfectly reasonable viewpoint, and you should start angry Pit threads about anything that bugs you. Then everyone can scream obscenities at each other until emotions run so high that everyone accidentally starts kissing.

Xploder · #75 3rd November 2009, 08:11 PM

FUCK YOU LONG-NECKED BOY YOU CUNT YOU!!!!!!!

It's to keep the other monkey's typing until they rewrite the complete works of Shakespeare. Laggards get to bite hot lead as a, uh, motivational tool for the others.

Please, we have humans for that. The gun is to keep Charlton Heston in line. If he calls me a "damn dirty ape" one more time, I'm going to bust a cap in his ass. And he better get Act two of Othello written by Friday.

Do what, me ol' china? You mean e's 'ad 'is barnet done so 'e can take it up the Khyber wiv a bit of a laugh? Well I never did!

Translation: china = china plate = mate; barnet = Barnet fair = hair; Khyber = Khyber pass = arse; bit of a laugh = OK, I just made that one up.

My cat just stole a role of Mentos off my computer desk, right in front of me, while I was perusing this thread. He ran off with it.

That's an interesting thought.

Let's all take a vote on it.

No--better--let's discuss whether there should be a vote.

NO! Let's vote to see if we should discuss whether or not there should be a vote.

Oh, and let's install chat.

Wait...if he starts angry Pit threads about anything that bugs him, you and Veb will move those threads to GBB--the Pit's only for Dope Snark, board rules fights and attacks on other members.

So...if he does what you say, he'll be breaking the rul....

IT'S A TRAP!

Heh. If Monkey don't get out of the pit and explore the rest of the board you may have something. But I say give him a little time to find his comfort zone. Or discomfort zone, as the case may be.

Yeah, I've popped in a couple of times in the past week to scream at Elyanna and Sleeps in all caps and it really sucks. Worse than the slowness is the fact that it will just stop updating randomly and you won't realize it until you reload and your awesome joke now has like 20 other irrelevant chat lines in between it and the comment you were responding to.

I'm a little puzzled as to how it's possible to have such crappy chat performance in 2009, given that IRC has been in existence for like 20 years. If computers 20 years ago could run perfectly responsive many-user chat, there's really no excuse for any chat software to be that laggy today.

I heard one of Jerry's projects was coding some new chat software for vBulletin.

I know, uncalled for. But I'm just such a spontaneous asshole that I couldn't resist.
