I am not a mod. I've just been helping with the reorganization.

I'll bite on this one. Why exactly are you asking about the size limits? As far as consistency, I get what you're saying: the truth is, we were still operating the literal free-for-all that Luuv has originally designed. There was no consistency because nothing existed to create that consistency - there weren't any written rules, there wasn't any organization or operational structure other than the folders themselves, and there wasn't nearly enough moderation to enforce "local rules" in a reliable way. We're in the process of putting things into place that make for more uniform action, but we're almost starting from scratch.

I haven't actually played baseball in forty years either, but that's not a bad idea.

Of course I know how to computer, why do you ask?

Lol. The one time I got to go to old Yankee Stadium, I was surprised how laid back it was. Of course, it might have been because they lost to the Angels.

The issue always is there are too many other dumb fucks on your team so you only get part of the rules.

I got hella bored playing pee wee. Like the ball never came my way ever.

See, now I want to go play catch with someone. Really, it was probably a dumb thing to buy, but there's something about a baseball glove that's kind of alluring. It's something that when it's on your hand you feel a sense of anticipation.

Rawlings website has all these different products you can use, and I have no idea if any of it is worthwhile.

Oh, no, I plan to use it. That got worded oddly, but the thing is too expensive to just be a souvenir.

So, I took my little bro to the All Star Game this week. At the convention center, there's a fan event before the actual game, so we decided to make a day of it and head downtown to look around before heading up the hill. Like most of these events, its really just waiting in line to get a signature, participation stuff, like virtual batting cages and museum displays, and buying overpriced shit. Well, I being the sucker I am, I happened across a Rawlings booth where they were selling baseball gloves and they had this special commemorative infielder's glove for sale. It has to have been like thirty years since the last time I bought a glove, and the last one was already pretty soft as it was. This thing is so stiff it barely flexes. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I wasn't in a seat that was remotely close to any foul balls, so I mostly spent the game squeezing my new souvenir in one hand and taking pictures of the LA skyline with the other. Afterward, though, I got to thinking that maybe now would be a good time to actually break in the glove properly. I know that there's the whole thing about wrapping the glove around the balls and tying it up. Is there something else I should be doing (beside, obviously, actually using it)? Is there like a special oil or something I should be putting on it?

I wouldn't put that on your resume, but good.

Well, boxer briefs don't cut into you like TWs tend to do.

Boxer briefs aren't free flowing. Regular boxers are free flowing.

I always felt like TWs gave more support, but I prefer boxer briefs now.

Oof. On a related note, do you tip women servers the same as men?

Nick has an opinion about you.

Obviously I'm being dickish, but I'm not suggesting that you're doing anything wrong or are any different than the rest of us. The point here is that what we think of content generation is probably wrong. One of the questions that seemed to bother people on the survey was the one about ranked post content. I think a lot of people expected this to be about creative content in the traditional sense, as in creating a meme or writing a fanfic, but what I intended when I wrote that question was to track engagement. Limitation to the survey platform made it so we couldn't make it a top three so the results were somewhat broader than we intended, still we got some valuable input in that it showed some key points of engagement. In particular, Toonami and Anime got a strong response while traditional creativity like writing or music content were not ranked highly, only above troll posting. That lines up with what we've seen with the Toonami board tending to be fairly robust (at least by UEMB standards) and they tend to be less inclined to vocalize complaints to the site administration than their Noise counterparts. All this is to suggest that there really isn't anything to scrapbook. Content on this site as it was over the entire course of the ASMB's 19 your year history is entirely dependent on engagement. Neither the topic nor the individual responses to that topic matter, it only matters what gets people interested enough to actually talk and that is something that we actually have in Noise and gets ignored. We certainly do more harness the power of current events topics to get things going. That also explains how the new replacement boards were generated: there is a clear delineation between the likes of current event topics like Roe and gun control and the likes of general topics like sports and special events. You focus groupings around types rather than topics.

A compendium of what? All the threads where you threatened to or actually did post a picture of Fuggs’ vagina? For a dude who hasn’t done much to contribute, you sure seem befuddled by why board traffic is down.

I round down as long as the tip is still over 20%.

That thread was like 280 pages.

That's about right. Toonamites are kind of the last to do it, but when Lithium first transitioned, posters that had previously co-existed in Prospero began to "camp" in the boards that aligned with their favorite topics. As programming changed, a lot of the camping dissipated in short order with the topics, but the mentality persists in the problems that IBers have with Pod 6ers and vice versa.

I wasn't addressing your point, specifically, just using your post as a starting point for mine. Visibility is a draw back to the club system and there is always room to improve it.

It's an older term from Lithium.
