Generally speaking, these forums are same as always...well, if you take the drastic inflow of n00bs out of account :p


I'm not an admin, so I can't mess with that sort of thing. It's already been tossed out there as an issue.

Neesika! *Pounce. Hug. Move away awkwardly.* How ya been?

Um...the new forum? Not so new anymore. We've dented it up a bit. It's pretty much up to cruising speed, I think. The quoting function still needs work.

I'm willing to take that risk! We need more humor. :)


I suppose the summer nazi influx has rather grated on people's nerves, as per usual. That and, apparently, rising rates of depression -- although again, those could be brought on by the above. We ought to be back on the humour track sometime this fall.

seems okay to me, pretty much the same. Mods well we got a new Mod, Flibbelites. They're okay.
the usual rehashing of old topics, and the usual several dozen threads on sex, sex with animals, sex and punishment, sex in the US, sex and breaking up, dealing with no sex....finding sex etc etc.
I like posting in the threads that are about weird shit.

For me, the loss of time-warps, which happened on the Jolt forums to be fair, took a large percentage of fun out of posting,

A real good first-post hijack was a thing of beauty, I think Soyut pulled off a 'carbon-based lifeform' one that was magical and LG's deja vu hijack is another,

I miss time warps, they could turn a flamefest into nonsense and everyone would just give up, they were like a force element bringing nothing but good to the forums,

As for who' posting and what they're posting, all much of a muchness,
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

This is true, I myself have got two warnings for things that would not have even got a gentle warning for back at Jolt. There are now harsher.

NSG has changed. I dunno if it's because of the move from jolt, or if that's just when I realized it, but there's a lot less good humor running about.
I don't mean the puns. They've gone up in usage, not down. I still can't tell if this is good or bad.
This is neither bad nor good. It has simply changed in the eyes of this humble lurker.

2: Yep
3: I was banned for flaming the hell out of parthenon because he was dealing out a lot of trans bigotry and I'd had enough.
4: Earth is the likely answer
5: I'm Jordi

you've seen humour running about?
did you catch him?

my one got away from me. :( (interesting thing about the sad smiley is you can see the eyebrows unlike most of the other smileys, this menas you get a better idea of the emotion being used)

mmm puns are okay, they're fairly easy to get and not difficult to replicate. folks will need some more time before they get used to each other here so give it a little time.

I've seen a couple of good threads in forum 7 actually, that might be worth having a peek.

Including my post count from jolt, I have had a grand total of about 150 posts over the last 4-5 years (however long it's been). I'm happy that people sort of recognize me. Last time I bothered to actually log in and post, Smunkee recognized me. The time before that, LG did. And now you are this time! I dunno what I've done to gain recognition.

Maybe it's posting in every single "Lurkers Come Here!" thread that I've ever seen.
