They love to revive that thread.

MillerCross · 2011-09-14 19:15:30

All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.

Scrye2 · 2011-09-14 20:35:40

It got tanked because of constant derails. The mod who tanked it has given the new thread the greenlight so long as it doesn't go into apologist derails.

MillerCross · 2011-09-14 20:38:24

Ah. Welp, at least the paywall means that the derails won't happen and hopefully, it won't be as brought up as it us---

who am i goddamn kidding

vandro · 2011-09-14 20:38:37

So if it stays on the board as long as it stays a mockery thread?

MillerCross · 2011-09-14 21:03:18

Seems that way. --shrug--

honestly, the only draw for me from that thread was the derails (Not the ones about KnJ, but the ones about the site and all that)

All Nines · 2011-09-14 21:05:49

"So it stays on the board as long as it stays a mockery thread? "

Exactly. The OP explicitly tells people not to discuss ideas to improve the place.

Counterclock · 2011-09-14 21:06:21

Conversation in a thread?

It's almost like these people are human, can't have that happening.

vandro · 2011-09-14 21:07:37

"Exactly. The OP explicitly tells people not to discuss ideas to improve the place. "

While I understand the reasoning, out of context it seems way worse.

All Nines · 2011-09-14 21:07:38

^^ Well, more like the mod who locked the thread thought all the other topics of discussion were bugfuck retarded and figures it'll be easier just to tell people not to do that.

MillerCross · 2011-09-14 21:10:37

Also, tell me they let go of Troper Tales and found another object of mockery?

Counterclock · 2011-09-14 21:11:43

Why would the tropers let go of troper tales?

All Nines · 2011-09-14 21:12:09

They haven't let go of it, but they still mock the forums and occasionally actual trope pages as well.

MillerCross · 2011-09-14 21:12:18

Talking about them goons.

^blugh. honestly, it's not like there's anything they can add. Yes, they're hilarious shit, but they're not hilarious shit because of their commentary.

Counterclock · 2011-09-14 21:14:20

@Juan: I know you're talking about the user-base in the SA thread, but I don't really think you're talking about Goons.

MillerCross · 2011-09-14 21:16:39

Yeah, sorry, often forget how much of a son of a bitch they tend to be

glennmagusharvey · 2011-09-14 21:32:39

> son of a bitch
LOLOLOLOL

@Everest: I guess the mod who said that basically said it to prevent more cross-forum drama, but...that's a rather...awkward position, let's just say.

nohaynicklibre · 2011-09-15 10:50:24

By the way,the paywall is no more

MillerCross · 2011-09-15 12:18:18

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Welp, can I have a link to read the "Entries that make you go 'wut'" thread, SA version.

where sperg can be found in its purest form.

lol

nohaynicklibre · 2011-09-15 14:08:50

I still don't know what that sperg thing is

All Nines · 2011-09-15 14:11:12

"Sperg" = pun on Asperger's, meaning to get pissed off over something very trivial (as in, something only someone with an autistic disorder would care about).

vandro · 2011-09-15 14:11:22

Mockery of the apparent or factual oversuse of Asperger's Syndrome as an excuse for lacking social skills on the internet.

MillerCross · 2011-09-15 14:12:21

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm kinda enjoying that thread.

blugh, brb seppukku

vandro · 2011-09-15 14:12:53

I am ideologically oposed to it, but don't hate it at all.

MillerCross · 2011-09-15 14:16:42

Eh, I didn't hate it nor I'm opposed to people mocking us. It's just that it has the same problems that the original had (Generalizations, lack of any selfawareness, deadpan snarking at troper tales as if this wasn't something tropers would do, if they found the material TTs itself worth of mockery, etc etc)

MadassAlex · 2011-09-15 14:19:25

What Juan said, for he is wise and learned.

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-09-15 14:23:05

Oh, look, they noticed us. Shh, we can't talk to you guys! Sorry for being Aspergery!

MadassAlex · 2011-09-15 14:25:23

They noticed us last time. There was even a dialogue going on. In this thread.

Howdy, Stranger!
