Uh.... what do you want? Are you suggesting we start a bowling league or something?
Sounds good to me.
I get Paladin's point, but I think he's miss-understanding what his brain is trying to tell him. We don't need PA to become a subscription club where we are spoon-fed daily events by grinning idiots in matching blazers like we're ninety year olds in a nursing home being forced to play checkers until our meds kick in. One outstanding feature of the PA forums is that there's a generaly high level of intelligence and creativity - like imaginative children accidentally locked in the coal cupboard we can invent our own time-wasting activities until someone comes to let us out.
Go knows what this has to do with disruptive n00bs though.
I had subscription clubs in my mind the entire time I wrote that, and I didn't mention it directly because I knew that it had distinct disadvantages that would harm PA Forums specifically, just because of the nature of our base. Our creativity has led us to use the forums in the special ways I listed; I'm just saying that if it ever runs out a new gimmick involving capitally-sponsored events is a good way to go, whether one forumer decides to donate or several forumers decide. It wouldn't be donation per se, more like investment in planned quality. Donation doesn't necessarily have to benefit the giver and also doesn't have to specify the exact use of funds. Again, I'm not saying forced subscription and whatnot, I'm just saying that pumping the blood of capital into democratically decided institutions in the forum is a viable way of spicing it up.

I don't know what he's suggesting, but I"m suggesting he might be retarded.
I dunno, maybe we could all go on a field trip to the petting zoo or something. There could be juice and fruit cups!
I left my permission slip at home. Can I go anyway?
I'm sorry, but we can't let you go without your parent's permission. Ask deni and maybe he can sign it for you, though.
I dunno. I don't think he likes me too much.
Ah, well now, what have we learned today?
That deni's a son of a bitch?
deni.
I used to have one of those, but he got ran over by a car.

Everytime I see your avatar I make that sound that they make when they're attacking... wraaa-tsu-git-su
or, for auir.
Just to sound retarded.

Ecoterrorism is actually the single largest terrorist threat at the moment. They don't usually kill people, but they blow up or set on fire very expensive things.

What we are going to do is add a page inbetween the legal mumbo jumbo and the registration page. It's going to say, in very plain english that you should read the rules threads for each section as they are slightly different. We are also going to encourage lurking.
There is also an idea which would involve the AC guys making some art for a small 'forum handbook' but that is up in the air still.
The point is, I don't think we need overly restrictive, exclusive barriers to posting here but we do need something which holds people accountable for their actions. Something that excludes the ignorance plea.

I read it the first time. This time I'm going to ignore it because it's more fun to keep bitching.

Yeah I flew that one at BD and he shot it down because where he should have a heart, it's a lump of coal.

I'll bet you a quarter you won't be complaining in a few months after I've turned that puppy into a diamond. Well, all right, you probably will still be complaining, but that's because I don't intend to share the proceeds with anyone.

Yeah, sorry you didn't see it when I originally posted it but some people love to chat no matter where they are.
I really hope so.

This is why we can't have nice things.
Apparently there's an Island near Australia where sex with 12 year old girls is traditional. I'll avoid the obvious New Zealand joke.

oh wai-
I agree with you in the other thread, but there's no reason to drag it out.
