Have we regressed?!? I'm fairly certain we were better behaved when I joined.

The whole "old topic learn to search, noob!" tendency mostly came from the oooold members. Grumpy old farts who forgot what the bookforums are for.

Yeah, pretty much any feasable question or topic you could imagine has been raised, discussed and answered/closed in the older book forums, but that doesn't mean that they can't or shouldn't be done all over again. We're not some library where you're not allowed to raise your voice. The book forums are for the new people and the confused. They should start a 47'th thread about who Traveller is or where the elder gods come from, because it's the lifeblood of the bookforums. New people raise old questions and come up with new angles and different understandings. If they're welcomed in, there's a bigger chance they'll stay in the long run.

That said, if someone asks a really complex or really stupid question I might still just post 3 links instead of answering it, sometimes it's hard to muster the strength to take the "ROFL DRAGNIPUR IS LIKE HEAVIER THAN YOUR MOM LOLZORZ!!eleventyone!1!!" seriously. At such times one should probably just not post.

EDIT: And Reputation hasn't been removed or is no longer allowed, Rep is not available in this version of the invasion board. No rep before v3.0

When the fuck did you grow pubic hair and go all serious on us?

Seriously... DOPPLEGANGER! CLONE!!! POSSESSION!!!! KILL IT, KILL IT WITH POINTY THINGS!!!!!!! KILL IT A LOT!!!!!
(btw, that Lab thing made me pee on my own leg a little)

On the refinement issue, fuck you all, you fucking bunch of fucking fucks from Mcfuckyouville.

- Abyss, ...means that in a nice way.

and where are the times when a single bad word would make all the donnas, melindas, amandas and rosies cry into their pillow at night...

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Considering that one of my first posts after I came back was the word cunt in red, size 7, bolded, and filling about a page, and no-one cared at all, it's not so bad. It was at Brood, I think, so that might explain it.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Sweet, I thought everyone was blaming me, Morgoth is more than welcome to it.

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.

I blame Frooky, he beat broody in a fight and broody left in disgrace. Thus robbing us of our traditional scapegoat

Hey Abyss, do you mind if I blame you for my impotency and my pesky feelings of inadequacy? Oh, and the cheeseburgers at the local fish'n'chip shop are more expensive-is this down to you as well?
