    The posts claiming this has become a spamfest miss a fundamental feature of a lively BB experience. Legitimate discussions will always generate boomlets that seem tangential to some. The posting experience, which probably is the basis for retaining new members, requires one to overcome the inertia and jump in. (I lurked for more than a year before joining and another year before posting.) Jumping in a side creek is easier than the big river. So don't be so quick to point the finger of spam. You may be scaring away some new folk who were just about to say something.
    A nice angle.

      Agreed. When I first joined, I almost exclusively posted in AC-General. I peeked in the AC-Fiction thread, then eventually found myself in the OT. I kept my eye on the threads there until I decided to post.

      I don't think I got the DL dance when I first posted there either, but that's because I''m the man.

            Glad to make you laugh Franky. Besides, why are you hunting gorillas in the jungle? Is there capitalist exploitation even among monkeys?

              I think the DL Dance is overhyped. I didn't get it from posting my first OTF post in the then Coffeeshop Thread, demanding, IIRC, an Irish Coffee.

                  Haven't seen him in any forum games recently. Must be.

                    I never participated in DL dances.

                      Thanks, dudes.

                      This isn't the OTF, tho.

                        He's sharp for a DL.
