THE LADDER OF IMPORTANCE: What should my forum avatars be?? |------------------------------------| What color underwear should I wear today? |------------------------------------| What should be my myspace profile song? |------------------------------------| Should I go on a date with him? |------------------------------------| Should I call 911 if I have the symptoms of a heart attack? |------------------------------------| Should I murder my neighbor's dog? |------------------------------------| Should I abort my unborn child? The top rung is obviously the most important issue here... That was completely and utterly free of big laughs and hijinks.

Oh man this place is sour today. Hmmm, I'd noticed that. I vote YES. It was quite the avatar. Same here.

Though that is tempting, gah, censorship bad.
Debate done. Make a choice, Rhi.
I think Annabel wins forever because of that dancey cat.

See, I always thought this was what the Community Room was FOR. Posting a ton of shit, that is. I guess the Common Room is slowly getting a bit better... okay not really, but, maybe. THE FUTURE IS STILL AHEAD OF US.

This IS what the community room is for. In-jokes.
The End.

But people always find other people's in-jokes stupid... I was going to say this, too, but then I thought... isn't this one only sorta between you and Rhi? And the few people who actually saw the icon? Then again, Sexfield was only between a few people. There was a thread for that, and no one really complained about it. I think we're all PMSing a bit or something. Whatever. I honestly don't give a crap enough as to whine about what's posted in the Community Room, because it was basically created for people to just do whatever. PS annabel - for Christ's sake. You can't say WHAT'S FUNNY AND WHAT'S NOT like it's a FACT. When we don't think something is funny, we MOVE ON. And that's that. And the people who do think something's funny enjoy it.

If you find that funny, then fair enough and let that be a reflection upon you; but honestly, that seems like an incredibly strange sense of humour.

No-oh. It's not meant to be things which ACTUALLY make you fucking want to KILL yourself. it's meant to be the internetzz equivelent of those nights you have drinking with your chums talking about "that time when" or "what if" or "oh do you remember that thing" Like - shit banter that's fun for everyone and INCLUSIVE, not some blatant and frankly unfunny joke that only people with IQs of less than 85 can find funny. Would sexfield be funny if it didn't have SEX in it? I have more to say. You can't go calling people stupid and dumb and mentally challenged and low-IQed because they find something funny that you don't. Annabel, I usually really like reading your posts, and I agree with you on things most of the time - but honestly, what you posted here is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard of. Seriously. We all have different senses of humor, so learn to live with it and don't go coming off like you think you're smarter and better than others because you apparently have a "better" sense of humor. It's been said before in another thread (by Meryl I believe) that you just can't argue over what's funny because it's subjective. I am so fucking annoyed at how this forum has recently turned into this differences-in-humor-hate-fest. It's so incredibly ignorant and stupid. Anyway, was this thread even MEANT to be funny in the first place?! Not really, I don't think. It was just a fucking pole on someone's avatar, for Christ's sake. There was even an option for if you couldn't give a fuck as to what her avatar should be. So go ahead and pick that option and be done with it.

If you find that funny, then fair enough and let that be a reflection upon you; but honestly, that seems like an incredibly strange sense of humour. No. It's like Christina said. It was actually an off-board in-joke between me and Rhianne firstly, then included the few people who saw the avatar. The details of the original joke I cba to explain, and you don't know, Clare, so I don't really care if you think it reflects badly apon me that I find this incident with a friend and the consequential events funny. Annabel, It actually says 'For… endless in-jokery'. I had a longer reply, but then my computer crashed, and I came back on and Christina had said practically everything I wanted to say. But it's not even about that anymore. It's probably stuff like this that is making people fuck off because the board is getting too argue-y and 'political' and whatever. Someone made a light-hearted, completely innocent thread and they get sworn at. I'm sorry, but there is something messed up about that. It's a forum for fuck's sake, there are many posting members, you can't make it so every single thread is completely to your taste and of interest to you. Grow some thicker skin, take yourself less seriously, and don't mess it up for everyone else. And stop trying to prove how intelligent you are. It gets old, very quickly.

Guys. There are 9 sections to this entire forum. All containing plenty of other threads. Some are superb and epic, some are quite measley and forgettable. And that, my friends, is the story of the internet forums.
Therefore, I have never seen the point in moaning over a thread of the measley and forgettable sort. It's just a waste of energy. I just... I don't know. I DON'T GET IT. Why bother complain when it's not like there aren't other way better threads here?! Blaaeerghshsohaqds. Okay. I think I'm finally done with this thread...

What way better threads? Superb and epic? Like what, Patrick Wolf as a cookie? Patrick's face photoshopped onto a picture of a lamppost really badly? This forum seems to be the victim of rampant fangirling and interwebz politics which is really quite a shame. Threads like this are symptomatic of all that.
Fuck it.
ALSO: Eight, not nine.
