You do have to grant them that even Mod's get bored.

I remember ever so fondly some of the old RP's they used to start, where-in ships, fleets and even entire nations indulged in well, for lack of a more white glove terminology, sheer lunicacy generated by the utmost depths of boredom. And various of our illustrious mods had some of the most creative posts in said memorable RP's.

Heck, I can't recall either. It's probably in the NS IRC quotes thread somewhere. Or heck, in your collection of quotes.

Okay... are our ads influenced by our posts? Because there's an ad advertising they have "nut shots" in their FPS game. :lol:

Seeing such an empty forum makes my fingers itch to post a new topic, but it is so serene, so...peaceful and unopionated..it's like watching a tiger sleep. Oh so plush and pettable looking , but do you really want to wake it up?

Wanders off to try and think of a suitable topic, worthy of such wide open spaces...

But if said tiger eats the someone else, then whom do you have a conversation with?

And once it's awake I could be said next meal.

Back in a moment, cause speaking of hungry tigers, my pair are giving me the eye...

Hey, hungry tigers are really fun. Them, and the hungry lions. You never know when you'll need to start some persecutions of an emerging breakaway religious sect.

That said, the temptation to fill this place is great. It's like living in a really crowded apartment complex, and then finding out that your really rich uncle died and left his mostly unused place in a really upscale building to you, tax-free.

Post count means nothing, nothing at all.

One makes or breaks ones reputation by the quality of the posts not how many you have time to hang around and yammer in. ( not saying that you specifically yammer please understand )
