    If there are still many lurkers, let me just say to you that I think you're all weirdos.

    Wish to disagree? Come down here and say it to my face. Otherwise, my point goes unchallenged.

    Who remembers Dark Lady Celebrian? She had an ED page as well.

    She was quite the... character.

    I remember her, sort of.

    I don't see why people are surprised. I mean, this place is a lurker's dream

    I don't think any other troper's page was so frequently vandalized.

    Please Elaborate

    It doesn't seem to have enough content to support quality lurking, though that may be a recent phenomenon. It seems to have slowed down a lot lately.

    @Gelzo: Only thing I remember about her was that she was a soulbonder and people would come to defend her when she was called out over being a soulbonder.

    ^Indeed, we are an obscure spin-off of a semi-obscure site, that doesn't make for that much traffic.

    The more you learned about it, the lulzier it got.

    True, definetly, but the fireworks between Chagen, Dantes, Vorpy, the TvT threads, etc etc are definetly very readable. Hell, I lurked for quite a while till Cygan roped me in

    ^I don't see how people outside TvT or SA would hear about all that.

    ED's page on TvT. 
    Chagen being a name outside of our forums (Didn't he import drama twice from two different forums and made a couple of new users come here (Miles and something something)

    Say, is evilneko banned? Haven't been seen for a while.

    She got tempbanned for a week a while back and hasn't shown up since.

    a little muffled
    Eh, if someone lurks TV Tropes (which is a forum for a site that's pretty damn well-known at this point) then it's not really that hard to imagine that they might find this place.

    I'd imagine if someone randomly knows about Chagen it's more likely from TVT than from here.
  • NightwireNightwire
    Man, Chagen seems to have a talent for pissing off most people he comes in contact with. I have the feeling he's going to be the next Chris Chandler (aka troll-punching-bag). Poor guy. He sure is annoying... but that's a little mean-spirited.
  • captainbrasscaptainbrass

    ^ I always thought of Chagen as the annoying younger brother I never had (I got on very well with mine). The whiny tone and the desire to smack around the head this produced was pretty much the same.


    Basically, he needs to grow up a bit. His saving grace is that he's still young enough to do so. Here's hoping.

  • NightwireNightwire
    But I seriously think he needs a therapist. From what I've seen, he doesn't seem to be capable of fixing his own problems.
  • GelzoGelzo
    Pony Sleuth
    He did have more than a few issues.
  • StormtroperStormtroper
    As a drama hound, other than Chagen I really can't see what we have that would hold others' interest without being acquaintance with at least some of our members or TV Tropes or maybe the SA thread. At this point this is a small, unremarkable community site, and for all the drama we have, there are plenty of larger drama-magnet sites with more interesting subject matters they aren't vague about.

    Say, is evilneko banned? Haven't been seen for a while.

    As far as I know, after getting tempbanned she decided that it just isn't very fun here so she never came back when her ban expired.

    I don't understand why there being another big drama sites means that you can't get your kicks from here.

    Of course, it's not as bas as it used to be when shitposting was over the top and we were ll the banned tropers all put together in a cage.

    What I was getting at was not that you can't get your kicks from here too, it's that specifically IJBM doesn't offer anything to a non-troper, nor do we make it easy for outsiders to understand this site, whereas you have drama-heavy sites dedicated to topics, media, etc. that a lurker will be interested about, or are less insular about their on-goings, or are featured on sites dedicated to documenting and mocking drama (I'm wondering if the drama thread counts). Lurking means involvement, so a previously unrelated lurker's attention would drift towards other sites long before dedicating some of it to us.

    That sounded like a twisted version of those "let's expand IJBM" posts, but whatevs.

    Edit: Actually, I don't know why I'm framing this in terms of other sites. I just don't think our drama is all that interesting.

    Edit edit: Interesting enough to warrant lurking just for that. (These edits are what I get for trying to post in a hurry.)
