  1. Herschel Walker is objectively worse that Dr. Oz.
  2. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't seem to happen much besides here since even completely corrupt cops anywhere else know better than to shoot unarmed people.
  3. Oof. On a related note, do you tip women servers the same as men?
  4. Nick has an opinion about you.
  5. No... not really.
  6. Reading this thread while eating a bag of Skittles.
  7. It case it wasn't clear in the above link, Adams was shot in the back.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. I round down as long as the tip is still over 20%.
  11. That thread was like 280 pages.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. It's an older term from Lithium.
  15. Not just DF, folder campers in general. The complaints all along have fallen one either side of a fault line - either the DF is a toxic cesspit of trolls, or the DF isn't being allowed to be the DF, but that is indicative of folder camping in general. The IBers that flocked over to Discord aren't any less "toxic" there even with the absences of the DFers, and that is to say that its not toxicity at all as much as belief that moderation is suppressing the individual clique dynamics that tend to pollute shared topic. The fact is, there are distinct groups in the Noise section in particular that feel either moderation is unfair/uneven or that in general they are being suppressed. This isn't a problem with Toonami who continues to be its own unique entity attached to a very particular topic and who doesn't expect the same kind of freedoms that make the Pod 6 and IB cliques unique. The club system is the best way for the DF to continue to have a place where the rules are specific to that folder.
  16. Really, though, how is it different? The only thing is the DF was moved over to Thunderdome, and that was a necessity to allow Pooh control over it. The other folders are just equal replacement that more accurately describe what's in them.
  17. There is a plan. The problem was that there were a bunch of relatively low traffic boards that were cluttering up the top end, so the consolidation was designed to combine topics based on the relative proximity. Sports didn't serve much of a purpose outside of the same three or four threads and, due to the universality of sports, it made more sense to include those in GD where it would likely get better exposure. Art's, Literature and Music had barely ant traffic so it was best to combine those. Food was pretty much Disco and Packard's food disasters. [adult swim] has so little to offer it doesn't really deserve a separate board, but the people who are most likely to be interested in [adult swim] shows are either a few of us in the Thunderdome or the Toonamites, so it makes the most sense to to merge Toonami with [as] and we can do our own DF take in the dome. There is a huge difference between a plan and success, obviously. Like you said yourself, this board has enough people that an wide open single board like Prospero might even be ideal. It's not really feasible to go that far back but reducing the boards makes the place a lot less unwieldy, and we have time to see how it works in this format. We can always add stuff back as needed, but it's not like we diverged from the existing predominant posting patterns to get here.
  18. I know about the PM. Liars tell stories that sound good. They also know how to set stories up to make them more believable. Remember that thread about the cartel daughter? What are the chances you're hooking up with someone who's supposedly connected to a cartel only to, days later, be potentially kidnapped by someone in a cartel? I'm sure you have a perfectly plausible explanation. What you don't seem to get is that people aren't mad about Fuggs or about your inept attempt to make her seem like a legitimate nurse, they're mad because it's indicative of your attempts to manipulate them for attention. Fuggs has nothing to do with your story having holes in it, but you're reaction to her and is tells us everything we need to know about why those holes are there.
  19. Lol. No. Literally the reason I think you made shit up is because that long post I cut and pasted in the report was deleted by you. I mean, sure, you sneaking Fuggs here so you can pull a stunt doesn't help your believability, but you refusing to own what you told us unprovoked is what matters most. There was no dude pretending to be trans. You didn't unwittingly take a speedball. There was no attempt to kidnap you and send you to Mexico to be a cartel sex slave. It was all a spin on a bad trip.
  20. Wait, how old are her kids?
  21. It’s rightly a fraught subject. Like Sawdy said , this is really a time for listening.
  22. Well, those questions beg for the wrong kind of response.
  23. Probably because either a cop was on trial or was the “victim.” They intentionally don’t ask that question so potential jurors can’t pollute the pool.
