I have a strong feeling I know who this guy who messaged Passion is and I doubt it is Passion's schizophrenic half nor Aubbie. I have a strong feeling it is someone who most people here enjoy the posts of, generally. I agree there is a lot of stuff on here that is repetitive and there is a lot of weird stuff that may be off-putting. The one joke that I think really deters people is "LEAVE!". Like when someone comes here and gets told to leave right away, why shouldn't they? This is just some other internet forum and wtf would they waste their time trying to force their way into acceptance? Any rational person would simply leave. "LEAVE!" does not scream inside joke like so many of the other things here. Aside from that a lot of the discussion is somewhat combative and caustic and that probably is an off-putting style of discourse to a lot of people but as long as it is fact-based and not just screaming at people then whatever.

Also, Swaye, I hope you know my pm about the tatooed chick was in no way encouraging you to remove her as your signature. I don't care if my wife gets super pissed at me over that pic... as long as I have that pic...

"LEAVE" is probably a good way to screen out the boring and thin skinned, and ensure you get only the most interesting, zany posters. Most trolls will take "leave" as a challenge and stay on purpose.

All I have to say to this is LEAVE!

If the goal of this forum is to have Husky-football-centric trolling, then LEAVE! is essential. If it is to develop into the long term best place to discuss Husky football then LEAVE! is a scourge.

It is what it is. I am not one to judge its merits in terms of "good" or "bad" - just what it can and can not accomplish.

Not you. You were one of the funny PM's I got about it. I will work that girl, or some other girl into the rotation in the near future. I was just being clever today (I'm not actually clever) and eliminating the partial nudity to replace it with something far more sexually suggestive in a lame attempt at both humor and pissing people off who have no business being on these gosh darn interwebz.

Plus, 70's era pseudo porn is bad ass.

Judging by the spam reports pretty obvious this "friend" who messaged Passion doesn't exist and it was just Passion being a pussy with his passive aggressive approach.

Also water is wet.

Hence why people are leaving this board. People like you that contribute absolutely nothing, and just post shit like this.

You might disagree with me, but nobody can doubt that I speak my mind. I don't need an imaginary "friend" to speak for me.

LEAVE!


Seriously though, if you get offended by LEAVE!, you didn't read the Message to Newcomers thread and you probably weren't a good fit anyway.

Some people were just meant to go to Doogman and the Seattle Times.

Causation?

People leave boards all the time. I think, backed up by zero facts (Doogs should love this type argument), that the main group of posters is still intact (RIP Harv), and most of the casual posters are still here. I have noticed a drop off in some of the names from months ago, but still see them post every now and again. Maybe I am wrong, but it sure doesn't feel like there is some mass exodus from here. Unlike over at Rainbow Village.

This forum is what happens when 20+ trolls meet. I get really fucking irritated with some of the repetitive jokes here...it's not funny IMO. I yawn.. That said, I post on some various facebook boards and typically become one of the dominant-asshole-trolls myself on many of those boards, out of boredom. I probably get called an asshole at least once a week on at least one of those. Ive realized that I am an arrogant prick. There are a lot of narcissistic trolls here on this site, myself included....perhaps we are just naturally drawn to one another...sort of like how inmates are drawn to each others' criminal knowledge in a prison. I accept that some are going to possibly annoy me as much as I will probably and inevitably annoy them with my own style of posting...but ultimately I would appreciate this site more if it cut out the fat and were less repetitive and had more creativity. I get bored easily with the 23 daily repitions. Props to Derek Johnson for moderating this site...I wouldn't want that job.I suspect one day hell get very tired of doing it, especially with the repeated stuff.
