    Actually, he said it was just a guideline right? I think as long as we can keep it about 1.92:1 we can still salvage this. Also, argue like crazy.

    In the two seconds I took to write this, another yay has been added, back to 2.00:1.

    Here's a new argument for retaining it, but in read-only format; 1. It
    can be kept for historical purposes (or "legacy purposes" as software
    corporations call it), whilst directing people to the off-site one. 2.
    It should be locked. 3. It's not quite a glorified Twitter though; more a
    collection of Anecdotes, really.

    Just my input...

    Oh come on, you little fuckhead, you are not even trying.

    Really, my reply in the thread was way too nice, but I didn't want to draw the ire of the mods.

    Presumably, one and two are covered by the new wiki and a link to it. I
    don't see why it being about anecdotes makes it unlike twitter, or why
    it matters.


    I haven't posted on that thread yet, is there anything for a late arrival to say beyond Me Too?

    So, can anyone confirm that the TT crowner is the biggest we've ever had?

    Historical, purposes, really?

    The fuck's "historical" about the musings of sad socially inept nerds and pedophiles?

    It seems to me that most of the arguments coming from the opposition are weak compromises that have been tried and failed.

    ^That argument falls apart with the existence of the TT wiki.

    Yeah, I get it, it's funny to laugh at the lowly, but that's not the same as historical.

    And they're coming up with yet another argument in favor of doing what we were doing before but with harsher punishment.

    Dude, harsher punishment is useless when 70% of Troper Tales right now is already unretributed shit. We haven't been using the "punishment" we were already using, so just changing the kind of punishment we deal out helps nothing.

    EDIT: Aaaaand the ratio's back to 2.00:1 again. Let's hope it stays over that threshold.

    EDIT: Never mind, that was about punishing people who post their Troper Tales in main. I stand corrected.

    I have to wonder why you even thought that it was proposed as an alternative to removing TT. It was pretty clear what it's actually about.

    I only saw part of the argument and I was hasty in my assumption.

    Look, Juan, I'm totally sorry for falling asleep during your self-inaguration speech after you dominated the world. It was just so BORING, and I was back from a long day of sitting on my couch and eating cheetos.

    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    This is now what I am reminded of.



    This is what the Tea Party heard when Obama gave his acceptance speech.

    Shut up, Malk. 

    And Bobby has posted.

    It was beautiful.
  • CrimsonCrimson

    Bobby really is the best mod.

    Even SA agrees.

    I think Bobby has managed to convince some people to bring it to 2.05:1
    THIS
    IS
    GLORIOUS

    I demand his post be stickied somewhere.
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    I think it's because Bobby is probably the youngest mod. He acts closer to the people and is still in touch with much of the userbase.

    I honestly always felt that he was the only moderator that I could say was also a person I enjoyed talking to. 

    Except for Morven sometimes. 
  • AnneBeecheAnneBeeche

    Even the guys on SA love Bobby.

    Seriously.
