    They've been idiotic since forever. I've said they should be closed. The old regime would have closed them and banned the OP.

        Hell ****ing yes. A perfect type thread for those of no imagination.

        And, Al, be careful what you wish for. Anyone that can turn any thread, like a "What kind of fish should I put in my new aquarium?" into a "Me" thread, shouldn't say much.

          There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

            YEP.

            There were sometimes a few that I thought were so clever that I'd leave them, but in general they were a waste of space.

              Can't work for the new regime. Because spamming tubgirl (was it tubgirl?) all over the forum only gets a 24 hour ban, a copycat thread only warrants a 5 minute ban, and the software doesn't support that.

                If someone spammed tubgirl all over the system, and I was the one to find it, the ban would be significantly longer than Ben's current ban.

                  Yes, but remember the little snafu with KH when plomp first took over?

                    Yes, but I wasn't mod then.

                      You weren't? I thought we just hadn't figured out how to ban people yet. I guess my memory isn't what it used to be. Perhaps I should see a doctor.

                        Either I wasn't, or we hadn't properly discussed what our policies were going to be.

                        In that case RP was completely correct to sidestep a big scandal early on in his reign IMO.

                          I thought you said you weren't going to do that anymore?

                              I at least put some effort into my most recent copycat thread, by the by. I hope you all appreciate that.
