...and what's more I've just made a rule that you can't post in the monkey den, on pain of banning. If you press the issue, the punishment will be delivered retroactively.

Some of us would prefer to actually be able to discuss this stuff without digging through all that BS, though.
I think that's a valid complaint though once again it goes back to the kind of experience you're looking for. One is sure and steady. The other is different and open. Neither is better or worse, they are just different.
SE++ is not that bad to new people. i've posted there and lived to tell about it. its just you have to be someone who wouldnt mind getting his eye holes raped if such a time came is all.
It's like you guys have this weird version of SE in your minds and never even went there. And you're just telling stories of stories, repeating the same-old stereotypes and legends.
We're all pussy-cats. Just don't pull our tails.

the only time ive ever seen someone get assaulted on SE++ was a troll. otherwise someone sometimes calls someone else retarded, but thats it.

I find that if you announce that you're new or from some other board, SE++ will jump all over you. If you just act natural and pretend you've been there all along nobody notices.

And for god's sake don't make a thread in your first month (at least), unless you can take whatever flames you get without getting defensive or angry. That's how I've seen a lot of people crash and burn.
Why do we need SE anyways, all the other forums have chat threads
Because I don't want to wipe my ass with those faggots, let alone converse with them.
I just don't like the way movie threads, etc are done in D&D, because everything just gets buried. I don't want to have to dig through 65 pages of thread to see what everyone thinks about With Teeth. It would be nice to be able to have a discussion about an album, or a movie besides Star Wars or Sin City where someone isn't trying to change the subject to a different movie in the next post. And god forbid I go to sleep, I don't want to remember what page of a massive thread we were talking about something, and I don't want to bring something up from seven pages back and get flamed for it.
and EE has changed so drastically the name of the forum was changed. Why did we need to change it? Why the fuck do we need some profound, immaculate post in order to post in there? It's gotten to the point that a misplaced letter or comma is a jail on site. I'm not saying I don't LIKE the discussions. I'm just saying I'd like my handcuffs loosened a bit when I go in there.
You know what I'd like to see? More hyperbole. If you're going to make wildly inaccurate claims, put some effort into it.
EE wasn't changed to D&D to discourage every fuckwit too stupid to work the chat button from posting about their day in there during the split--it was done to fuck the poor out of a job.
You don't get jailed on site for having a comma out of place--you get jailed for thinking about spelling ridiculous with an e.
You weren't going to send a card for Mother's Day--you were going to fly in from across the country and rent your mom a petting zoo.
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.
I'd just like to stop by and say that most of you are being unspeakably stupid. This may or may not serve as an indication the you might BE unspeakably stupid, but that's really something that has to be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Also Grath, I thought you left. Too much of a pussy to even run away crying properly, eh?

Plus, AC is there for Artist's that post on the board to discuss their own works. Not to post works by other folks, except in the rare "Post your favorite artist" threads that happen. AC is where comics are made and critqued, so once it gets produced and gets a fan base it becomes GV material, I'd imagine

My, what a respect-engendering attitude.
It'd be rather nice if you guys stopped being cocks unnecessarily.
I think the stereotype about SE++ being unfriendly is not true. My problem with that forum is that you need to have a significant amount of time to spend there in order to get anything out of it. That's not necessarily a flaw per se, but it certainly limits the ability of a casual forumer to engage in casual conversation.
I find every forum to be perfectly fun and friendly on its own, and as soon as you make even a passing mention of one of the other forums it's all "I hate those cockmunching elitist fagtrots", etc. I can't tell if that's wonderfully ironic or just deeply stupid, though.
Thanks for listening guys, I'd give you all a great big hug, or buy you a pizza if I could.
there are many places where you can buy pizza online, and have it delivered to a certain address
Including everquest, oddly enough. You must first go on a quest to get the enchanted cheese, then level up to level 3 in dough-making, and with the help of a rescued gnome, make a delicous pizza. Then, pay $9.95 to send it to someone.

I love how people always bitch about digging through a thread to find where they left off.
It's like they don't even know about the "go to first unread post in this thread" button beside every unread thread.

I never noticed that until just now. It's really hard to spot... just a tiny little page icon colored slighly differently than the page icon next to the page numbers below it, with an arrow next to it.

I still can't find it, and I certainly wasn't aware of the existence of this button previously.
-edit-
Nevermind, it's the tiny little arrow. There's no reason anyone would assume that little bit was clickable, let alone that it was the "go to newest unread post button" unless they chanced to hover over it.

That doesn't help if say I stop in for 5 minutes to check in on the G&T chat thread and don't go read the Movie thread. Next time I come back, it won't bring me to the post I want it to. It'll bring me to the last post made after I last logged in.

Don't be too embarassed. I asked alpha once to implement this as a feature, too.

I think, were I to visit and see one such thread, I would smile.
And my heart would grow two sizes bigger.

It just seems silly to me.
They are inferior to what AC has to offer.

I find if you are not a dick in general, nobody cares what you do and you won't get flamed.
It pays to be a nice guy on the internet, unless you are or dealing with pheezer.

You guys think SE is tough, man Meta will fuckin eat you alive. CT runs that place with an iron fist.
