yeah, ok. nuke this one boys.

i kinda miss the old ranks scheme. didn't it have a "no new threads" restriction built-in too?

like i said, i honestly think you do add some value to the site. i'd rather you fix your game instead of getting banned for good. but you won't, so have fun storming the castle.

for a minute there this song was hot this song was hoooooooooot didn't the bends just have an anniversary? damn, i can't believe this stuff is 20+ years old already.

if i was mad, you'd know it. and i appreciate your dedication to the character, i really do. i'd almost miss it if zeni wasn't around to toss around his small guy syndrome. but you need to re-evaluate your limits if you want to stick around.

i couldn't care less if you catch a perma, but let's assume for a minute you don't actually comprehend the gravity of this long game you're playing. the phrase "barely legal" is pedo fodder. you've been warned dozens...maybe hundreds?...of times that it's gonna cost ya. if you value your ability to use this site, you'll dial it back by about 50% before one of the mods turns your account off for good. i don't mind the tough guy, alpha male routine. that's almost funny sometimes. but the "legal women" stuff crosses a line into some dark territory. this isn't the place for that kind of "humor" and it definitely isn't going to be tolerated if/when the owners start advertising for new users. you know all of this, i'm sure. i imagine it's just fun testing the boundaries every day. and i'd guess it's fun to watch everyone else wringing their hands and complaining "oh my word, what a deviant little scoundrel." hell, maybe it's the most entertaining part of your day. that would be pretty sad. but i'm not here to judge. just, i dunno, chill the fuck out man. try having an a conversation with people that doesn't revolve around being the toughest guy in the room, feigned ignorance in harassment of women, or actions that would warrant charges that begin with the word "statutory" for a change.

i didn't have the ambition to find a nicer way of saying it at the time, but yeah that's pretty much what i was implying. the moderation here is visible and it's generally pretty swift. it's just ... i dunno, set to "comfortable" instead of "tight" or something like that. i'm not complaining, but i do see the point of some people saying it's too wild to try bringing in new users. but that's something that can be easily remedied. might mean we lose a couple people who drive clicks, but it probably would have happened anyway under the Old Rule so whatever.

i don't think any mods will argue that the moderation has been lax. i hesitate to call it "lazy" because they're here and they're doing regular work. but i think it's safe to say that the mods are not as strict as their position allows them to be. that can always be tightened up, if the need arises. and, while i don't venture out of noise for the most part so my opinion may not be accurate, it seems like everything non-noise is mostly spared from the occasional nastiness. it's those places where new users will gravitate anyways. noise/off topic is always where the old-schoolers of any boards tend to hang. it's a shitshow wherever you go, not just here.

so we up the post count for df to, say, 1000 and moderate the open forums a little harder. problem solved. by time someone has posted enough to see the "real" us, they're already somewhat invested.

change of heart?

let's just rip the band-aid off. heavy lube. that's what it will take.

exactly. if we would just break out the industrial-strength cleaner once or twice, this place would clean up and be all presentable.

judging by this post, i don't think you know how not to be a naysayer.

this place could showcase original user content on a yt channel real easy.

i was about to say creative arts as well. writing, graphic design, various crafting ... just original content in general.

you make me keep going back to this now i gotta go watch this movie and cringe a lot.

if the fancy tylenol doesn't kick it,

but they may deploy their high-speed travel counter-measures. i've heard they can shake a car right off the road if they try hard enough.

the fun has begun. met with the plumber today, and we have a plan for getting his part underway. now that the frost has gone, the part of the lot that was not already concrete, is getting cleaned up and graveled this weekend. meeting with the concrete guys next week, hopefully they can get in and pour footings quickly so we can run the plumbing in right after that. then finish the concrete and start with the structures. happydance.gif i just had a notification pop up on my phone. been price watching a particular picnic table for almost a year now. it generally runs in the $200-300 range. it went on sale this afternoon for $153, so i ordered 8 of them. if we like them as much as i expect we will, we might by buying up to 8 more. next lumber sale that comes up from any of the local hardware/big box stores, we'll be pouncing on that as well. it's getting exciting now.

but i'm not the one who bought insurance on it so they won't give me a dime. best i can hope for is that they reimburse the seller and he gives me back my paypal transfer.

i bought it privately on a buy/sell forum, so the only reimbursement i'll get is from the seller...if he doesn't get scarce on me.

working in the am, transitioning to a working/drinking mix by mid-afternoon. mostly drinking by evening, with a chance of alcohol abuse in the overnight hours. high abv of 0.20%, slightly windy.

so now this package doesn't even exist in the system. still hasn't arrived, even though it was 2 hours away and heading my direction on monday morning. i called the post office and they have no idea where it is either. good thing i didn't spend money on the contents of the package or anything.

i feel you on this one.
