    For the next week, limit yourself to 1 post per day, and that INCLUDES responding to other posters. So if you read something that makes you angry and immediately jump on and call someone a cunt, that's your one post.

    Why? Why stifle discussion on a message board that's for discussion? Here's why:

    If you limit yourself to a single post per day, people might put some thought into what they are saying and try to make that single post meaningful and significant, rather than the standard bullshit that makes up better than 90% of what we all post. (I include myself, there.)

    I doubt anyone will take up the challenge. Judging by the frequency of posts, some of you still veritably live here and have for years. But consider trying it.

    Given that it's a red room thread and otherwise neutral with regards to topic, you could even use this thread as the place to make your one post. Per day.

    that "one post" would be epic TLDR from everybody.

    Awww, @Marso's decided to play Junior Moderator! He's already got half the board on Ignore. How will he know how many times anyone posts? Will he keep score? Will there be prizes? :jayzus:

    I could just save the links to all the shitty posts in a notepad, and then assemble one big omnibus post telling everyone to fuck off.
    You clearly didn't think this through.

    His next post will go something like: "See? I knew you fuckwads were too immature to do it!"

    Only not as polite. :yes:

    You want a challenge? Here's a real wordforge challenge. Say something nice about the poster on this board whom you despise the most.

    I'll start.

    Apostle83 or whatever it is he's going by these days. Regardless of the backwardness of his beliefs, he does stick to them - even when provided proof that those beliefs are in direct contrast to one another.

    Apostle? Kirk?
    Omigawd, are you behind the times!
    Um...*tries to remember everything since Kirk1ADM was a thing*
    Tamar died.
    Muad died.
    Sokar died.
    Flashlight's permabanned.
    Soma's permabanned.
    Dayton's permabanned.
    Gturner's permabanned (I think he came and went while you were gone)
    Apostle is Federal Farmer (I think).
    Mrs. Albert had a baby (well, her partner did).
    Um...what else?
    Help me, people.

    Well, there wasn't anyone else on the board that I can say I "despised".

    So, @Diacanu, who do you despise and what nice thing do you have to say about them?

    Heard about Chup on Facebook. That was very sad.

    Knew about Tamar, Muad, and Sokar before I left.

    Could not care less about Flashlight, Soma, or gturner (I do remember him).

    Heard about Mrs. Albert's baby from Uncle Albert.

    Much as a goofball Federal Farmer is, I do not believe he is Apostle83.

    That's tough, the worst of the worst are in their cyber-coffins where they belong.

    Um....who have we got left?

    Well, Marso beat off to Democrats being threatened with guns, so he takes the cake.

    Something nice about him?

    When I doubt my intellect, he makes me feel like a lucky sonovabitch.

    Apostle is Scott Hamilton Robert E Ron Paul Lee. He had the longest username until Face had an upgrade.

    His threads keep being bumped, so it doesn't feel 100% real yet.

    I could compliment his fashion sense, but I've never seen a photo.

    Ok, what about this ...

    @Zombie does a job that many people would be afraid to do. I'm certain it can't be easy.

    Wow, what a great excuse for you to never respond when called out on your fascist nonsense. It's not that your delusions are indefensible, you're just doing a challenge! :dayton:

    Maybe @Marso would be happier on @Volpone's message board. Oh, wait.

    @Federal Farmer's actually pretty cool. He has some odd views on the world IMHO but he does seem to genuinely have faith in them.

    For the next week, you should limit yourself to 1 breath per day. How's that for a challenge?

    What?

    What happened? You say those in the past tense, so I take it you're ok now?
