Malaysian Airlines 777 with 239 Aboard Missing: DERP Edition

I think they changed the posting times too. I've got to wait 30 seconds to make a post. Never seen it take that long.

They may have done it to your account like the time they banned me from starting threads and sending PMs.

From Mr. Ginger: "No one has been warned, much less banned. No post has been deleted, much less a thread. All this has been done before, we are not TK."

Who said anyone got warned or banned?

Though I'm sure the warnings are around the corner for those who won't comply with posting in the Red Room like the good little posters you think we should be.

As long as it's in the Red Room I'll post as I please.

You and what now appears to be the biggest ass-kisser on the board, Paladin, are not going to tell me what posts of mine are on topic and what are derp. You're not going to tell me where I can write in the Red Room.

Keep working eliteforge.

It appears that the only thing worse than derailed Red Room threads is the effort at controlling derailed Red Room threads.

If they want to do this manually I'm happy to oblige.

No one cares.

Content based censorship is the biggest DERP in this thread.

Damn shame some people weren't on it right now.

My theory is that the plane was brought down by Paladin and Anc's epic stupidity. But that's just a theory.

Anything's plausible when you love my little pony.

I'm considering buying a new beard trimmer. I've been going to the barber a lot more since I lost the charger for mine, just stretching the charge out, but man, a new charger would be cheaper.

The problem is that the well reviewed trimmers seem to not handle more than 13/64" well. Also, I'd like to get a good vacuum system - one that I can actually put into an external deposit point in my bathroom.

Unless it's "off topic" as defined by eliteforge.

Unless it's annoying to the owners.

Unless Ancalagon doesn't approve.

Unless it's not an "adult" "discussion."

Unless it's not serious.

Unless eliteforge considers it spam.

Unless it's "derp."

Unless it doesn't gel with the new eliteforge narrative.

Simple enough? Good. Sticky this thread so everyone knows the new rules.

Faceman, do not post Tubgirl images, or any other pornographic images, again.

Good. At least be honest and straightforward about what you want to do with the board. First time you've employed your testicles so far.

Shut up you little girl.

Ugh... Jesus, really? Your mother was supposed to tell you about that...

Look face, we gotta chat, like face to anc, there is something you need to know. It might change how you feel about me.

I don't know what that means. Are you selling the board to T'bonz?

Seriously though:

x 100

It's not like the posts are being deleted or any 'discussion' is being stifled. The derp-railment is preserved and people are free to join in. Heck might even boost discussion as people who didn't want to join in the dogpile b/c they didn't want to further the derailment now can and people who didn't want to post in the disaster thread b/c of the derailment now can.

This is nothing new. Been happening since the beginning. Most recently O2C did this last year when Clyde went full retard and started fucking up threads. In fact if you think back, you'll recognize that in the past there used to MUCH more warnings and mod/admin interference. Heck it used to be a warnable offense to post Media Central content in the Red Room. Remember that? Just b/c the mods and admin are trying out ways to keep the place from becoming TK doesn't mean that it's all of a sudden not Wordforge. As a board we've always tried to walk the line between as much leeway as possible to foster debate and discussion without going so far as to be a spamfilled wasteland. So while telling people to 'ignore the noise' may work out fine when the signal/noise ratio is 70/30, when it gets to 40/60 it might be time to reassess strategy.

I wonder if I make a pie out of ingredients available on the board if Ginger would ruin the flavor? I like pie, but Ginger can be overpowering.

Ancagalon probably trained whoever blew this airplane up. It has all the trademarks of an attack using Ginger.

Actually, yes. Removing discussion from threads stifles discussion. The message you are sending is that it is OK for you to derail discussion but not for other members.

No, it hasn't. You're expanding its use far beyond what it's been used for before. Don't lie. You fucking suck at lying.

I don't. And I don't care. Apples. Oranges.

You're a thin skinned pussy. You've always been a thin skinned pussy. Thin skinned pussies shouldn't own this board.

You're the guy that pounds on the counter at McDonalds, aren't you? You know, the one who screams "I know my rights!" when he doesn't get exactly what he wants right away? You sound like that guy.

I don't go to McDonalds. Now go back to playing with your plastic ponies.

So you're still that guy that pounds his fist on the counter and demands that he be served in a fashion befitting his station. It's why the people behind you are hoping someone is spitting in your food.

Mmm... saliva.

I'll take you seriously when you grow the fuck up, pony lover.

Says the guy who posted a huge picture of tubgirl in the Red Room. I'm glad I caught it fast enough. Poor Zombie got to see it, though.

From your personal collection, no doubt.
