Professor Snuggles · « **on:** 29 Jan 2009, 17:58 »

I am going to keep you guys updated on a semi regular basis on things that are out. Things that really have no place on this board anymore, or in the world in general. I figured you guys would appreciate this, since it will make it easier for you to avoid doing things that suck!

First and foremost, we're done with moar. I don't really understand why it started, but seriously dudes? It is a pretty dumb thing! I know it is an internet thing, but seeing as generally we are against all of the internetty bullshit, I think we can do without that one.

Also, name, is over. I've noticed a decrease in it, recently, and that's good, but I just want to make sure we know its done. It was stolen from hipinion in the first place, and since the board seems to be anti-them , maybe we can let it go? Especially since we just use it as a creepy thing?

I'll have more for you guys later, as soon as people start doing something else dumb!

Things that are long since out:

Self indulgent Kieffer wankfest threads.

I think we can safely say that Animal Ghosts is a good example of what not to do.

I think this was a very productive thread!

I am a slightly less-shitty poster, now! I know what ska is and I know who R.E.M. are!

Pretty much. I nearly followed up one of those with a "I see what you did there" post just to make it extra lame, but then I would have had to skullfuck myself to death for being a dumb ass.

Also, I get the impression that Animal Ghosts is only bothering to post here so much again because the state of Colorado gave it to him rough. I'm betting the grades he'd hand out to us aren't so hot right now.

He's right on the "moar" thing. That was never anything other than just plain stupid and annoying.

Won't stop me from trying!

Speaking of, can we get over this whole "anything Animal Ghosts does sucks" thing? I understand that I probably insulted you at some point, and at some point I probably pissed you off, but like, can we move on? I am really not that bad these days, dudes. I get that having a villain on the board brings you all together, but having me be the Other to your l'etranger is pretty passe by this point.

And yeah, we can be done with threads with thread in the name too. I thought I made that point in the title, but maybe it wasn't quite clear enough. Lets be done with "thread" threads. I get that it's an easy way to describe things, but like, a little imagination please. For the good of the board, for the good of us all.

Oh, and "hipster" is a dead term. It'll be completely done when 2010 rolls in, since every decade has a cultural shift, but at this point, indie rock has basically taken so much ecstasy that calling someone a hipster has lost all its meaning. I am sure we can think up a new insult for people who don't fit in with whatever cultural niche we feel we fit into.

Inlander · « **Reply #23 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 00:04 »

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm going to replace "Hipster" with "Elbowman" (or lady).

Dude the term "hipster" is way older than indie rock, it used to be another term for beatniks or for dudes who listened to Davis and Coltrane. It's been around since at least the 1950's. To say that it is a static term that refers to a very particular form of fashion is pretty short sighted. Look at any of those films from the nineties that major studios made to appeal to the "indie" crowd of that time and tell if the hipsters of 1995 look anything like the hipsters in last week's Vice and also oh shit i can't believe i got sucked into another one of these conversations hey let's explain to some hapless sap what "emo" really means now ok

How about everybody stops making shitty threads to bitch about the boarding because you're not helping, you fucks.

Actually, can we add Cicero posting to the list? Or maybe responding to and acknowledging his posts? I know this is mean, but seriously that dude needs to change.

posting about how attractive Jodie is.

20 jazz funk greats · « **Reply #39 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 10:50 »

posting about how attractive lunchy is.

(also patrick, you are sweet but i really wasn't trying to fish for compliments and now i am not sure whether you were doing the name thing out of pity or that you genuinely have creepy comments/feelings directed towards me that i did not know about. okay.)

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #40 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 10:53 »

No, posting about how cute Lunchy is is a little more acceptable, because it's done to a less nauseating degree, and usually in more polite ways.

Also lets be done with the "I would totally sex up/make out with/etc" stuff. I might just be opposed to it because it used to be my thing and now I feel like if I want to do weird creepy flirting I have to go so over the top it is actually creepy, or it might just be that it is mad creepy when you guys do it all the time. Either way!

20 jazz funk greats · « **Reply #41 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 11:01 »

it's still a bit overdone in my opinion, but i guess it's not something that is uber annoying and needs to be stopped immediately.

also, i find some of the compliments lunchy gets more creepy than the ones jodie gets because you can just tell that the people writing them are trying so very hard not to seem like creepy strangers on the internet but it just ends up having the exact opposite effect.

Hairy Joe Bob · « **Reply #42 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 11:03 »

Use of the word 'Awesome' or the combination of 'Awesomesauce'.

If everything was as awesome as you make out QC Talky Place then the world would explode.

But if we don't pay the women the precious compliments they seek, they will simply pack up their encampment and ride over to the next outpost.

Hairy Joe Bob · « **Reply #48 on:** 30 Jan 2009, 14:11 »

Then we'll follow 'em to the new outpost, kill those Injuns and strike it lucky in some black gold!

Brett honey I do not think that Jodie would pack her encampment and ride away from you anyway. (Awww,)

Also guys I counted and the last two pictures I posted (weeks apart) the only comments I got were "that is a bright photo" and "you should grow your hair out" from Gilead, who is one of my meatlife crowd so it doesn't count. I am sorry Anna if the comments frustrate you.
