Well. Most of the people here have! Repeatedly!
This smells like the beginning of the end.
I notice paul has been made a modJeph probably wanted somebody that actually reads QCD to be a mod.
Dude one of the times I was a mod I was such a good mod. All solving crimes and making up rhymes.
Actually I do remember a time when he was a really good mod. It was under his "Makeout Hobo" name.
Khar! Avaunt!
The sonnet as a form is just okay,
But surely we can write much better work.
Instead of boring quatrain stanza chat,
Let's celebrate all forms with forum posts!
There's so many from which we all can choose:
The villanelle, rondeau, and so much more.
We are known by "I Like Fish" no more.
Yet, somehow, it will prob'ly be okay.
It's not like we took on that name by choice,
Nor was its tone the product of hard work;
Instead, we built a home out of our posts,
And chilled in Gabbly and in Meebo Chat.
Let's talk of posting quality. Let's chat.
There's likely stuff that makes you say "no more,"
Like constant low'rcase sets of triple-posts
Or long jokes like this, which are just okay,
Assuming that said long-form jokes do work,
If clever turns of phrase the author chose.
But if all forumites could ever choose
The posters with whom they would always chat,
Then what within this BBCode would work?
Threads are always funnier with more.
Sometimes, just step back. Tell yourself, "Okay,
It's time to suck it up and just make posts."
And if one thread is at odds with your posts,
Then there are other threads that you can choose,
Or accept argument. Debate's okay!
Or you can always go on Meebo Chat
And hope that there's two people there or more!
Or just log off and do some actual work!
But as for poem posts – put in some work,
Or limericks will soon consume all posts.
And "We were meant to live for so much more,"
So said Switchfoot. We cannot always choose
The modes in which we write. But here, this chat
Should caution you. Don't settle for "okay!"
You have so many forms from which to choose,
And while I hope you take to heart this chat,
I'm sure the posts you make will be okay.
This smells like the beginning of the end.
The new forum names are a lie. It still says Serious Pony Discussion at the top of the page.
jeph I want you to fuck with the colors
see JC this is why we don't stop
All solving crimes and making up rhymes.

new page poem challenge: posting ghazal
Traditional Persian style ghazal, or the type made popular in America by Adrienne Rich and Jim Harrison, and in Canada by John Thompson and Phyllis Webb?
ON THE RENAMING
Jazz Funk Whatever, I feel like you kinda missed the days of awkward fucking and people from this board actually making attempts to hang out regularly, sorry to say. Nowadays it's mostly bitter recriminations and reminiscing about the good old days.

I fear to admit
we under 1 thousand posts
have missed the makeouts
Alternatively, I'm now imagining a system where postcount works similarly to the tickets at Chuck E Cheese.
No makeouts though. That's ok, that is what theatre is for.
I imagine the new forum names will be interesting for a short period of time and then I'll be wishing for something a bit more functional which actually describes what is subforum is supposed to be for.
Ben got a new toy and merged a couple of forums. Next up is merging QC discussion and awkward.....
