I'm really interested in like, "Board Theory" these days
KharBevNor:
I'm really interested in like, how a certain poster on this forum, every two-three months like clockwork, makes two or more seperate threads where he 'discusses' aspects of this forum. It's pretty intriguing how he posts serially in these threads, continually bumping up the page until he gets bored of them, in lieu of posting in other threads on the forums, almost as if said threads are some sort of desperate cry for attention arising out of that individuals unexamined egotistic narcissism, a bit like your boorish friend of a friend who rather than trying to engage in the conversations of others will constantly and clumsily steer every conversation round to the thing that happens to interest him, which is of course, underneath it all, himself.
Let's talk about that for a while.
KharBevNor:
Wait no actually, let's talk about something people give two shits about.
Let's talk about the game of petanque.
Ozymandias:
Man, Khar, for the longest time I thought you were an insufferably arrogant twat and I guess you are but I love you and I want to choke on your cock.
valley_parade:
Petanque was supposed to be in the Incredibly Mundane Olympics that we devised in Meebo a few weeks ago.
As was "drink the beer".

I mean I think there is a lot of validity in this statement. I have this weird relationship to this forum because I definitely remember with a certain degree of fondness the time a couple years ago when it was like, me and Tommy as megaposters on a board that was basically going one of two ways, either towards my desire for a bunch of jokes all the time and a lot of talking about dicks and Tommy's "cult of personality(remember that?)" and like, back then I was a really well respected member of this forum, y'know? And I think part of me wants to reattain that, because having people respect you in any context is pretty cool, but at the same time I have to be aware that things have changed around here.
And like, a big part of the reason my relationship with this board changed is that I went out and made a bunch more friends in real life than I had previously had. Or at least I had a more active social life, so the times when I was sitting around my house by myself drinking, or just wasting time on the internet, diminished drastically. I have way less posts on all the boards I visit than I used to, just because I honestly had less time to board, and that's not a bad thing. It's just weird, because like, to some extent the people I 'hang out' with on the internet generally I find have more in common with me than the ones in real life, but then again living my life for the occasional times I have with those friends seems kind of an odd thing to do.
It's part of why I like hipinion so much, the people on that board, despite having the same interests to a lot of extents, also have a more 'well balanced' understanding of life, or at least it seems like that. Of course then you get threads on there about OkCupid, or someone makes a thread about how much sex people had in 2010 and like a quarter of the board votes 0 and it's just like, woah, I'm still on the internet.
