What's the weirdest thing you've ever had to act on Tube?
I'm going to say the time Soulja Boy signed up to hawk some shit. Or the time the Green Power Ranger's personal assistant came to defend his honor.
Could you tell the Soulja Boy story, if you have time? Because I can't go to bed not knowing what happened.
There's not that much too it, he just turned up pimping something video game related he was doing. My hunch is that it was, in fact, a confederate working on his behalf.
Did he offer to "crank that" or was it more of a monetary quid pro quo?
My profile shows 4 threads created, even though I have created 0.
Someone mentioned that it might be due to reports? (I'm assuming reports I made, because no one would report me)
When you report something one of two things happens as far as I know. If you are the first to report it then you create a thread. If you are not the first a post is made in the thread that was created. These threads exist in some super secret mod only part of the board I believe.

Could it also be some threads that are no longer available do to being around for so many board server/code shifts?

I have absolutely no idea. I just remember the reports thing so I figured I would try to explain it to the best of my knowledge gained from the various Ask Tubes.
Just out of curiosity, how many Lorc alts have been banned?
Think of a number that you feel would be high enough to signal to even a typical maladjusted misanthrope, "Hey, maybe I'm wasting my time here, I should find somewhere else to try and fuck with."
Do you think the forum's open source nature will eventually lead to volunteer forumer contributions addressing lower priority issues Icy doesn't have time for?

someone who's actually a coder should submit that bugfix
it'd make me so happy
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

No, because the forums aren't really open source in any meaningful way. They're a closed source branch of an open source software.

Ok I got one. How many posts are reported on the average day, and how many of them are frivolous? Have you had many funny ones?
Somewhere between 5-10 most days. Most aren't actionable. We don't like funny ones because they're generally wasting our time.
You've mentioned before how The Glorious Edict was framed as a sort-of joke in case it didn't work and it had to be rolled back. If it hadn't worked, were there any other plans in the works to improve the culture of the forums?

to what degree would, basically, "hey, nothing strictly speaking actionable has happened yet, but this is obviously going to turn into a gross shitshow if not headded off." reports be appreciated?
We don't really plan more than one policy in advance to be honest.
I picture before even replying with this answer Tube looked around the room and just said " Holy shit , they think we plan anything!?" then laughed maniacally

If in doubt, report. We'll tell you if we want you to stop.

wow, that's really the average?
I would have guessed at least twice that many
have you kept track of how that number has changed over a long term?

Did he offer to "crank that" or was it more of a monetary quid pro quo?

And the holiday forums.
Isn't that whole forum still down in the archive? I've 22 discussions, 18 showing, 2 are Awesome threads.
It is plausible that I've only ever reported 4 posts.

Think of a number that you feel would be high enough to signal to even a typical maladjusted misanthrope, "Hey, maybe I'm wasting my time here, I should find somewhere else to try and fuck with."
Then double that number, and multiply it by ten.

I doubt Tube wears his clothes wide open.

@Geth
That sometimes got super weird.
Hey Tube, did Geth stop doing that because you guys turned that off (if so, why?) or did it just turn off because of a bug/patch?
Geth awesoming sad personal stories was a problem.
You misspelled "awesome."
