The Ultimate Flame Topic

[Lustique]

Apparently he is also turned on by itlnstln's PMs.

I like to whisper sweet-nothings in his ear every once in awhile. I'm romantic that way.

All I wanted to ask him was why he was banned. I figured PM was a little more appropriate than starting a thread where everyone blows up one way or another, but whatever. DT is a more mature crowd in general. I should have known better.

Quotation tag fail, BTW. (Someone didn't remove an opening quote tag that wasn't supposed to be there...)

Sorry, that was entirely unprofessional.

[itlnstln]

It's sleepy out the keyboard world today. What happened to everybody?

Oh, they got banned.

[Input Nirvana]

Ba-da-ta-BOOM!

[itlnstln]

It's actually kinda surreal. Ban three people, and everything turns back into the way it was about 2-3 years ago, especially on GH. Nobody is talking about them, either. It's kinda nice.

[Input Nirvana]

It's totally nice
I don't mind the people at all (I actually like them), or the things I have no interest or knowledge of. It's only the incessant fighting and to a certain degree, the 'personas' which for the most part are fine but can get old the moment something happens and the persona is elevated above the keyboard forum.

My online 'persona' is included in the above critique. Humble bastard that I am.

[Soarer]

I don't mind ... the things I have no ... knowledge of.

That's just as well

Seriously though, something about the geekhack environment turns even humble folk such as you and I into sparring douchebags at a moment's notice. Says something about the crossover between geeks and gamers, perhaps.

As for the new moderators... they can suck my big fat hairy...

[webwit]

Strange, I told acfrazier a joke, that he would be demoted to moderator of the off-topic section.
One day later, cue to itlnstln.

[itlnstln]

WINNAR!

There's a joke in retail where employees get "promoted to customer." I see a similar, but opposite relationship here.

In all honesty, iMav asked what forums I would be interested in, so it was more or less my choice. I think the poll forum is far worse. That said, I don't think there are going to be problems there used to be.

*knock on wood*

[ripster]

Wow.

Look at all those moderators just to contain little old me.

That is one ridiculous lego dude.

Well, it IS a rant thread so don't report me. That is EASY to do on an iPad editing posts.


AND SINCE IT'S A RANT THREAD!

My current rant is poorly structured Forum ban messages.

Let's start with this one. WTF? What kind of feedback is that? How am I supposed to better my behaviour?

Banned because...Well JUST BECAUSE.PNG (64.72 KiB) Viewed 5276 times

What font IS the header????

Now my Geekhack one was ALSO puzzling. Banned for rapping?

Doesn't iMav LIKE Black Music? He sounds like my MOMMA.

FIGHT THE POWAH!

MAKE THE BAN MESSAGES CLEAR AND LINK TO THE POST!

This is what OCN does. Know I know not to say puuuuusssssyyyyy.

.....Beanbag??? Good thing I didn't accept the GH moderation invitation then, I don't want any part of your hairy beanbagette....plus after my series of "I'll fuck your mother/sister/daughter if you mess with me" posts should have instantly disqualified me from any position of judgement over others. Ashort seemed to get a laugh from it though.

Ripster:
Godzilla, Flava Flav, and Little Richard...I really like where your posts are going

[ripster]

iMav must REALLY hate my subforum.

Not only is ACCESS blocked for everybody but me I can't even fucking post in ItlnStn's subforum before...

EACH AND EVERY POST IS FIRST PERSONALLY CHECKED BY DADDY iMAV!

Was it the Lego pics?

The Signature Plastic digs?

The Ducky jokes?

Hate of Helvetica?

I may never know but the Cherry MX Wiki is sure fucked.

[mintberryminuscrunch]

there is so much you fucked up, it's hard to pin it on one thing.

[gorkypl]

ripster, just out of curiosity, what prevents you from creating your own blog/forum and writing anything you want there?

[ripster]

Because I've spent ALL DAY tormenting 18 year old moderators masturbating to their new duties!

If it was just me I'd have to torment myself.

[ripster]

My teachers never called me a troublemaker.

Actually once I hacked into a economic model simulation (back in the DEC days) and sent the economy into recession. I think the Prof suspected me but had no proof.

[ripster]

Geekhack kiddies don't like me saying fuck.

What the fuck is wrong with that?

Seems OK here.

No ****

Testing:

Shit
Piss
Fuck
Cunt
Cocksucker
Motherfucker
Tits

Do they use Tits or Boobs in the EU?

Such a friendly word.

FOR SCIENCE

[webwit]

You have rather elaborate ways to say you really need to get laid.

[dirge]

Do they use Tits or Boobs in the EU?

We say, "knockers"

[ripster]

I like "knockers".

Also a friendly word.

I'll look it up in dutch, brb...

boezem, borstkas, ribbenkast

Hmm.....

It's got that Germanic hard feeling to it.....

[fossala]

In dutch bra litral translation is breast-holder.
(I work with a dutch guy).

[ripster]

Sounds like the ideal career.

Which would be because you're using the wrong words- only boezem is a word for tits (and mostly used in a very clean sense). rest is just chest/ribcage. Most standard word for breasts would be 'borsten'. Not with a hard R like germans would.

And BH is the official dutch version of bra, which you could expand to BreastHolder- though I doubt you'll avoid funny looks when you try that in a store

[dirge]

Is the term "shirt potatos" used in the states?

[itlnstln]

Sweater puppets.

[off]

Sweater puppets.

that sounds kinda off.. sweater puppies much better

[ripster]

Borsten would be a good name for a cheese.

[JaccoW]

Well, maybe not for breasts, but we did have one for legs:


If you want some sweet breasts you could try borsthoning (breast honey), also known as Jodenvet (Jew fat).
I am guessing these names are from before WWII.
