2018 in a nutsack.

[Calandale]

Come up with something new, will ya.

Sure. Just stop being such a FUCKING BABY


(notice - everything involving you devolves into this kind of conversation. Not everything
involving me, Scrap, Al, any other admin here ever....

That should be a clue as to where the problem is - assuming you've been too fucking
dense, wrapped up in your own warm diapers, to notice)

Why do the stats show so many more new members than the member list?

Maybe the bots that register but fail the CAPTCHA become part of the statistics?

It's really annoying that you don't know. Isn't there some admin discussion forum where you can find out? Bots that register and pass the captcha would make more sense. As far as I know, the member list doesn't display banned members. Can't you see all of your members?

Ah, but the number of people registering is not the same as the number of members.

The statistic is for new members.

The stats show there was a new member joined yesterday, but there's no new member. What happened there?

Probably took one look at how the site is run...and ran

(1) Yes. There is no middle ground. Any action taken by anyone with extra buttons can become endless drama, can be the grounds for confected outrage.

Disagree. There are plenty of spaces, for example corporate-owned forums, where it's in the TOS that the owners can do what they want. That doesn't by any means spare them from drama. There is an endless supply of people lulled into getting personally invested in places, whether they are "free" or not. Time spent there becomes an illusion of ownership. Democracy doesn't spare a space from drama either, otherwise politics would be an uncontentious issue. 

I saw something on the news recently about an enormous fatberg that was discovered in a sewer, and I realized something. This place isn't a dustbin and it isn't even a sewer. It's the internet equivalent of a fatberg. Because the crap just gets stuck and never goes anywhere.

Overall I agree with you. I've been on plenty of internet forums. There are always drama llamas who get butturt when a moderator uses their buttons, and those drama llamas either get over it or they don't last long. Problem solved either way. Personally, if I don't like the way that the admins and mods run a site I will have my say, calmly and rationally, and then I'll either get over it and stay or I'll get over it and go somewhere else. Because that's part of being a grown up, learning to get over shit.

But the reality is that in I^2, the fatberg of the internet, if someone disagrees with an admins use of a button or with an admins enforcement or interpretation of a rule, that just becomes fuel for a bunch of stupid neverending grudges and butthurt and drama. And it's never let go of, and it's never forgotten.

As I said, people who refuse to get over shit don't last long at other places. What happens to people who get banned everywhere else? Guess where they end up? The one place where it's nearly impossible to get banned. I^2 doesn't work like other places, and expecting it to work like other places and for people to get over shit or leave like they do in other places, obviously doesn't work.

So a rule that works elsewhere, it's obviously not working here. Because that butthurt and spite will eventually see this place close down altogether.

Yep. The surprising thing is that the site ended up pretty much in the hands
of a FUCKING BABY who can't help but abuse the buttons though.

You'd think the self selection wouldn't have attracted the type who like to use
the admin panel for bullying.

I guess it takes that kind of drive to keep the place open though. Gotta get enough
kicks somehow.

Straw man after straw man after straw man. Change the fucking record already.

And yet you're still posting. Fucking wanker.

[Queen Victoria]

We're gonna need a bigger sack.

[odeon]

Yeah, goes without saying.

[DirtDawg]

A simple question about nutsacks in general ...

Why is it that, as these horridly huge nutsacks grow larger and larger, they begin to ITCH more than ever and also become almost impossible to scratch?

Metaphor? Real life? Dunno, grow one and see!

No straw man. Just observations.

Ones anyone can see.

You're incapable of either addressing the issues (as usual) or restraining yourself.

The all-caps thing is just SO CONVINCING.

The stats show there was a new member joined yesterday, but there's no new member. What happened there?
