What subjects seem to come up again and again? Are there any inside jokes, or "callbacks"? What'll get me banned? What is the main thrust of this forum? Why should I be interested in this internet forum?

This isn't one of those cryptic message boards where I have to guess what people mean with their vague posts, is it?

Welcome to the Raffe, Thrustin.

It's nearly impossible to get banned here. Other than spambots, we've banned exactly one user in a year and a half and he asked to be banned. We do have the Box. People who misbehave enough get their posting privileges restricted temporarily so that they can only post there. That's pretty difficult to do too.

Just jump on in and have fun.

Just because you're an admin doesn't mean you're the Shell answer man. That's no fun.

The main purpose of this place is to play silly buggers.

We do get serious at times and debate can be heated, but mostly, it's silly buggers.

Rules on top, ass on bottom.

This place is not hard to figure out. Just read.

You gotta want to be banned to be banned.

Why should you be interested? Fuck, I don't know. You tell us.

We're pretty friendly, once we get tired of taunting.
