A new start...

[MGM]

means we're starting all over, a nice clean break with the filthy past.

Example: no signature pics. No JDC. No absurd postcounts.

And, IF GOD FORBID NOT TOO MUCH TO BE ASKED, no anal rape talk, no anal rape sigs, no fucking disgusting avatars and just plan normal behaviour.

Yes, I'm talking to you, CBKA.

[ChimeraCreative]

I feel like bumping this to the top of the heap. ^_^

[Stocky Boy]

I pretty much agree with everything Mitch said.

Context and correct place are things I want to mention though.
I like talking about absurd, depraved sexual material, but I wouldn't bring this crap up during every conversation. It gets tiresome and boring and eventually stupid. Throwing in the odd comment during polite conversation can be hilarious, if you can master your timing and actually have a feel for the mood of your audience. If you can do this well, then randomly bringing obscene absurdities into an otherwise relaxed conversation can, of course, be hilarious. But it's all about timing, context and mood of others.
Rape, anal penetration and all that stuff that makes us giggle is funny in context and this is why I largely agree with what Mitch said. Correct context does not mean 80% of every single forum!

I wouldn't want to see all lewd comments removed from the PHIYST forum. It would be unnatural and conversation would become a little wooden. But I think PHIYST and pretty much every forum on the board should be treated like a public area.

Keep 80% of stuff you wouldn't say in front of your parents in Penthouse, or better still just a small number of threads there and use better judgement on how sparringly the lewd stuff pops up elsewhere. Don't overindulge. Dick jokes in context.

I don't have a problem in dropping a JDC sig. I quite liked mine. I liked the effort that Meek put in and the design, but I've got no problem in dropping it and relegating most of my dick jokes to Penthouse.

[ChimeraCreative]

May be letting other posts get ahead to build false sense of security before he lets loose the full tidal wave wrath of Stocky verbosity.


I called it last night. Long Live Lord Stockwell. ^_^

(and it was a lovely post he made)

[Sandman]

I whole heartedly agree, this is what I wanted for the last place too

[Junkogen]

Fuck that. The JDC lives forever.:mad:

[MGM]

Yea yea, but I mean the sigs. While they're fun, I don't particularely liked to show the old place to other people due to those sigs.

[wolf_2099]

Umm, does my anal sex sig count?

Otherwise I agree completely. We are all getting older (except Ed), and eventually that stuff should just stop.

[MGM]

I have to laugh about your sig, which is a jokingly quote. Unlike the one CBKA is sporting.

[wolf_2099]

Phew, I quite like mine.

CBKA's avatar makes me ill.

[MGM]

I've AdBlocked it, hideous thing. But than, that's on my PC, any other computer won't have that solution. So yeah, I say it has to go. But in the same vein I say D's 'MMA'ing' women have to go.

[wolf_2099]

I kind of agree.

I`d like the board to, at least, visually be alright to look at school and work without worrying about the avatars.

[MGM]

Exactly. Whenever I show it to someone or when I'm not at home, I'd like it to look clean. The minute people start reading is a different matter, but let's not get into that. :D

[Mr Wallstreet]

Sad to see the JDC sigs go but I don't have a problem dropping them. Other than that, I agree with the general sentiment around here. Time to grow up (a little).

[Tragic Angelus]

I'm in line as well. Like it's been said, makes me much more comfortable to pull the site up when I'm not sitting in my home, or even on my own laptop because now it won't LOOK strictly unfriendly or unsafe in certain places.

[Junkogen]

Wow...this place is starting to suck. Everyone's going so mainstream. It might be time to fade out and let you all turn this place into Disney World.

How about some music to set the mood?

*turns on Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers*

:censored:

No wonder meek? doesn't want to be here. Talk about taking a dump on self-expression.

[Tragic Angelus]

you're just upset because you think your ability to discuss your mangled member will be severly limited.


...It won't be limited, will it? I always like laughing at those posts...

[wolf_2099]

I think we just want cleaner pictures so we can actually view this place at work and school without getting it banned.

[Stocky Boy]

I don't think limiting your own quota of dick jokes per sentence is going to limit an individuals range of expression.

Too little dick jokes is equally poor, since this would hardly be reflective of normal conversation, but too much is ridiculous - and we are more the later.

You could argue, "maybe you shouldn't be worried what other people think at work", but maybe we shouldn't think that just because we like full range of expression that other people should just accept this. Plus seriously, just because we can throw anal rape jibes at each other every second, doesn't mean we should.

[ChimeraCreative]

:censored:

No wonder meek? doesn't want to be here. Talk about taking a dump on self-expression.

I'm confused, is meek busy or is he seriously not wanting to be here? I figured he might have a problem with it cuz Adam built it but I didn't think he'd hold out for long, you know? Especially since he just went to NYC and met so many BXers.

[William McDert]

Junk's gonna cry :(

[William McDert]

But to serious for a second, it is hard to imagine myself getting any friends onto this forum because, aside for the long personal history we share here, there's a sour stench forming in most of the threads. It's not just CBKA's avatar either. Dick jokes are funny as are vagina yarns, but I've never seen it overdone like we do here. Part of the charm of you all is of course the grossness and the non-politeness that we provide here. But if the constant cockiness (PUN!) would vanish, I wouldn't miss it at all.

Penis.

[ChimeraCreative]

Yeah, I've considered getting other folks I know to join here as well... but I don't know how anyone would react to some of the shit we say, lol. I'm lucky that no matter what we do here, Adam's already seen worse. An ARS guy posted pictures of himself on 4chan and, well, there should have been a warning preceding them. :leaving:

[CBKA]

And, IF GOD FORBID NOT TOO MUCH TO BE ASKED, no anal rape talk, no anal rape sigs, no fucking disgusting avatars and just plan normal behaviour.

Yes, I'm talking to you, CBKA.

Normal for society or normal for me?

and the avatar went because wolf asked and because it was making me hungry:love:

[CBKA]

Otherwise I agree completely. We are all getting older (except Ed), and eventually that stuff should just stop.

I think its alrightaslong as its not in my sig:(

[CBKA]

what about if we just :censored::censored::censored:

:ban:

:D

[CBKA]

I like the fact that on the day i join, a thread trying to set up boundarys is and rules is created.

Im touched guys :D

[ChimeraCreative]

It's really great (and completely out of character) that you're willing to meet the budding new rules halfway. You'll always be the rebel and the unadulterated filth monger of the board but with a spiffy make-over of moderation and fake tact. ^_^

[The French Biscuit]

Yea yea, but I mean the sigs. While they're fun, I don't particularely liked to show the old place to other people due to those sigs.

Just to be nit-picky, someone did tell Meek were not using those right? :sweatdrop:

[wolf_2099]

I'm confused, is meek busy or is he seriously not wanting to be here? I figured he might have a problem with it cuz Adam built it but I didn't think he'd hold out for long, you know? Especially since he just went to NYC and met so many BXers.

Why would he have a problem?

[ChimeraCreative]

Well if meek can't stand me by default he'd dislike Adam. And he'd really hate/not trust any place that Adam built. At least, that's the way I think he'll see it.

[wolf_2099]

Well if meek can't stand me by default he'd dislike Adam. And he'd really hate/not trust any place that Adam built. At least, that's the way I think he'll see it.

I did not know that. Oh well, if he wants to be that petty, his problem.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Wow...this place is starting to suck. Everyone's going so mainstream. It might be time to fade out and let you all turn this place into Disney World.

I don't believe anyone is saying stop what you normally do altogether on the boards. You're still free to talk about your mangled genitalia and make dirty jokes to your heart's content. We all are. People did that all the time on the old boards without too much of a problem. It's all about context and timing and most people here seem to posses common sense enough to know when or when not to make a joke.

It seems people are just saying lets ratchet back some of the other less desirable, more extreme stuff (that we've ignored in the past) to a more reasonable level. This would be, specifically, the excessive anal rape/sex jokes and seemingly the JDC sigs.

About the JDC sigs themselves; while I love em, it's damn difficult to check the boards at work or other places without seeing a big brightly colored deviant sexual act taking up half the screen with semi nude women plastered all over it; so I see where others are coming from on this.

However, I think that something like Sigs (as long as they're not too offensive), should be a personal choice individuals here should be allowed to make. If you want to keep them, you should be able to do that wihout constanly breing hassled. The sigs really weren't doing that much harm on the old boards and probably won't do anymore harm on these here new boards. Again, it should be a personal choice as long as they're not too offensive

How about some music to set the mood?

*turns on Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers*

Great, now you've got Ed dancing...

:censored:

No wonder meek? doesn't want to be here. Talk about taking a dump on self-expression.

Really?

[ChimeraCreative]

I did not know that. Oh well, if he wants to be that petty, his problem.

It's been a problem for about six years now, lol. I think he just keeps it up out of habit more than anything. For the record, I have no problem with the guy.

[Stocky Boy]

I like the fact that on the day i join, a thread trying to set up boundarys is and rules is created.

Im touched guys :D


Well, it's just too much of one subject, too frequently, too often - all the time and inescapable, since it's all over the forum. To be fair, you're not the only one guilty of it, no matter how much I like to argue that when I do it there's a hint of cleverness to it, I'm still guilty myself of occasionally offering up little else other than crude material.

Cheers for getting rid of the shit hotdog. That is an appreciated effort. And please don't take this next comment as me just trying to dominate you here and get a second act of submission out of you, but your rape comment in your signiture is gratuitous while Cam's is playful. If you could drop your sig for something else, which isn't just one rung of the laddar lower, I'd appreciate that.

Non stop anal and rape comments though, no matter how funny it could be argued to have been at one time, or even recently occasionally has been it's like a crappy TV show that's been pointlessly churning out more series. It was only ever going to appeal to a limited audience, got boring early on in its lifespan and bizarrely is still continuing despite a lack of interest for it.
Again, not saying it isn't funny occasionally, but when its just churned out for the sake of blatancy and plays out like a looping record, it loses any spark it may have had after the second verse. The worst of it comes when there was actually life in a thread, which may have annoyingly, but harmlessly derailed into another subject, but when that derailment subject is the same old butt rape gag that derailed and ended the last twelve topics, it's no longer fun.

From previous posts, I'm quite certain there is general agreement that 'excess' needs to be giving a long, overdue break only to return in moderation, in certain forums.


On a separate note. Meek just get your arse over here! If you're worried about restrictions of expression, let's just list it all here. I feel certain that even if you feel you would have to act within limits or you can't fully express yourself or for whatever reason you haven't joined the board - if there is a reason and you're not just imitating Lazy Lee's work ethic - you'd much rather just get along and post away with your buddies.

[wolf_2099]

I'd just like to say Stocky is covering everything I wanted to say far better than I could of. Bravo.

For the record, I think he's not posting because he is genuinely busy with art/design related things.

It ain't all about us.

[MGM]

Not? My world is crushed. :(

[Stocky Boy]

On a separate note - Meek doesn't do any fucking work. Even if he has work to be getting on with. :D

I want Arn's opinion for the record. Don't want to sound smug, but I have a faily clear idea what his is.

[William McDert]

Reading Andy's posts out loud in a British accent is really fun. Can we admit this to each other?

And I think meek? hates change. And ugly white girls with unibrows at coffee shops. But mostly change. It is kind of a pain in the ass to register for forums. He'll come in time I'm sure.

I know Arn's opinion as well, and I'm just being smug.

[ChimeraCreative]

I think meek would be titillated to know he's the subject of such wild speculation and gossip. ^_^

[wolf_2099]

Meek would just like tits.


Erm, yes.

[Tragic Angelus]

Yea, meek? is genuinly busy with other projects and trying to get things done. I believe he's trying to prioritize his life and take the time for the things he really needs to do in the real world, and I honestly don't believe it's anything personal against any one person here. He'll be here in due time, trust me. Just let him do his thing though. Though I'm sure he would appreciate tits, yes. But still, he'll be here.

[Mr Wallstreet]

^^

Pretty much what I think and I recall him mentioning a few things like that at the Con, most notably that he was trying to get his portfolio in order. Meek may be a Lazy Lee graduate but when he buckles down for work, he really buckles (weak knees and all :))

Also, bear in mind Meek didn't register at the temporary BX website either so I highly doubt it's something personal. Also, I strongly feel that Meek won't forgo all the friend's he's made here because of a grudge. He just needs a bit of time to get whatever it is he needs to get done, done.

And tits. Let us give him the tits. Do we have an icon that?

[ChimeraCreative]

I wasn't sure if it was a personal thing or not. I kept reading that meek was busy and hoped that was the case. When Junk suggested (in this thread) that it might be otherwise, I got a little nervous. :lipsrsealed2: To be honest, I doubt a personal tiff with someone would keep him away from his JDC bros and hos. He really oughta come back soon to get caught up on posts and give us some feedback about our new digs.

[Junkogen]

You guys shouldn't be on a message board at work anyway. Do your job. That's retarded that we have to censor ourselves because you want to fuck off at work.

I'm not changing what I write at all. If that's going to be a problem, then I can leave. If you guys are trying to give this thing a shiny new gloss and attract a bunch of new posters. Fuck that. The reason I post here is because you guys are friends and it's uncensored. If you want to turn this into some high-traffic mainstream "fun for the whole family" site, then I'll just leave. I'm not putting on a Mickey Mouse costume for a message board.

As for meek?, I was just speculating for argumentative effect. As far as why he's not signing up here, that's his business. I'm not meek?'s publicist. But I would be really surprised if it was for some kind of personal issue with anyone here. He doesn't seem that petty.

Are you saying you can't even just tone it down a little to get along with others who all want it toned down?
Regardless of some of our desires to get a few fresh people in at some point in the future, curbing the frequent, 'anal-rape' and in particular for you 'my penis hurts' jokes, is what us 'friends' want. It's just too much of the same crap all the time. Maybe you enjoy it that way, but clearly not all of us do.
I want you to stay. Between the 'my penis hurts' crap there are some interesting and insightful posts and 'my penis hurts', when used infrequently is funny - just not every post. Particularly recently, I've been a fan of your replies to Shadowman. I don't want this direction to be a problem for you, but this is what people want.

But, if you put something like, "if that's how it's going to be, I'm leaving" on the table, then I'd rather you leave, because I'm not giving into that. There's no way your one voice and extreme action is going to make me reconsider my stance on this.

There's quite a few of us who cited work related posting as a reason for wanting to clean the board up a bit. So really, if we don't, we're all just giving into you, when we all want it cleaned up.
Even if we only look at the board for 15-30 minutes during a lunch break, it's not too much to ask that the board look respectable.

[ChimeraCreative]

There's no reason why some forums here can't be crammed with smut and dick jokes. Not to keep all our nasty habits and secrets locked away, but just so everyone can enjoy BX from wherever they're posting from, be it home or work.

This is true.
I mean, have the reason I didn't post more for a long ass time is because I can't access the board at school with the JDC sigs and what not.

The actually content of the posts don't matter so much to me.

However, Stocky is right. The amount of dick/anal jokes that used to creep up in the comics discussion threads was really weird.

Other people reference my penis as much if not more than I do. It's like people giving Wally shit about fucking corpses and you shit about ugly chicks or meek? shit about old chicks or Ed shit about being like Gary Coleman. It's just jokes.

All I'm saying is that I want to be able to write what I want to write without somebody censoring me.

But I guess if you guys want to turn this into an extension-of-your-job-type of Web site, then, yeah, I'll just leave. That's what Facebook and MySpace are for. I'm not trying to be threatening or anything. I'm just saying that if you guys really want this to be some kind of Mickey Mouse site, then it wouldn't be fun for me. Hence, I wouldn't want to be here.

[ChimeraCreative]

I might be be mistaken, but isn't there a really big gray area between white (pristine, smut-free Disneyland) and black (underground S&M sexxx club) that we can all enjoy? ^_^

I agree other people do reference your penis a lot. I probably do it from time to time. Most of us are guilty to a greater or lesser extent of being too flagrant with the dick, titties and rape jokes and yes I'm accusing everyone. From CBKA down to Edbert. We all jumped on the bandwagon of excessive dick jokes. It is fun. It's fun to rib each other. But then we let the door open to pointless, "I rape your butt" posts and cotinuous thread infecting back and forth with our personal rib items. And honestly, as much fun as I have with teasing you about a bloody penis, Meek about old women and Wally about corpses, there's only so much interaction you can have relating to these themes before the non-stop back and forth becomes excessive, no longer a joy and simply habit.

Having no boundaries was one of the big things we celebrated when Brad/JMT first set up the original asylum for our WizardWorld clique. We've all gone too far though. It's funny stuff, but all the time is just too much. It's no good for us. We don't second guess ourselves before we post, but I reason this is because we've gone so far in the extreme direction of assuming it's normal to post crap all the time, we actually feel affronted, when someone finds our posts too perverse and one-track - when we should be second guessing ourselves.
No boundaries is too much trouble just like too many boundaries. We may not be simpletons who need constant decency supervision, especially since we only interact with each other on this board, but no boundaries means wheeling through too many dick jokes when reading a thread. We all went along thinking it's such a great thing to not have boundaries, well, that's only true if we're amazing at self-regulating, but we're not.

Restraining myself to more subtle toilet humour jokes and restricting my more perverse humour to the Penthouse and only limited appearances elsewhere on the board is just not something I consider as censorship. At the very least, give it a go. It's not censorship, it's restriction. I don't think anyone wants it fully gone. Just restricted. A board that's 90% substance and or fun and only 10% dick joke ribbing.

It may be frustrating in the short run to have to adapt from posting perverse crap majoritively in the Penthouse forum, but any change takes some getting used to. It's also long overdue that this board had some female hormonal balance in it and wasn't just a dick party. Dick parties going on for too long means dick jokes become normal 100% of the time. It's not normal though.

Giving in to me? I'm pretty sure your boss doesn't consider "posting on a message board" to be in your official job description. But I guess if you guys want to turn this into an extension-of-your-job-type of Web site, then, yeah, I'll just leave. That's what Facebook and MySpace are for.

Hence, I wouldn't want to be here.

No of course he doesn't, but no one complains because everyone is on the internet from time to time. Plus I mentioned lunch time, so he wouldn't really have a just cause for complaining then.
It won't be a Mickey Mouse site. You sound like you won't even give it a chance to see if it won't be. It's just a little restriction.

I'd be sad to see you leave, but I do want to see this board from work. Even if only for five minutes, once a week. A few others do too. I think you should just consider curbing into what you refer to as the 'Mickey Mousing' of this board, atleast for the short term, in order to see what it's like.

Essentially, my point is, 'time and place' for the dick joke and restriction on visible lewd stuff for work accessibility. I don't see this as Mickey Mouse.

[Junkogen]

I might be be mistaken, but isn't there a really big gray area between white (pristine, smut-free Disneyland) and black (underground S&M sexxx club) that we can all enjoy? ^_^
Yeah, we were pretty much in that gray area for all of BX's existence. Now for some reason it's become an issue.

Nobody even talks about anal rape anymore. Space and CBKA stopped that a long while ago. So that's pretty much a non-issue. So there must be something else that's rubbing people raw. And we've already banned signature banners, so what's next? That's what I'm saying. The JDC banners, jokes and concept in general is just a big joke. Those signature banners were hilarious. There wasn't anything on those banners that was anymore revealing than what you'd see in/on any magazine cover in the supermarket or even on prime-time television. If you guys were embarrassed about that then you're some serious prudes.

I guess I don't clearly understand what the issue is here. All the nude pictures were in the Rated X forum... It's never even been that bad.

[Stocky Boy]

Yeah, we were pretty much in that gray area for all of BX's existence. Now for some reason it's become an issue.



I don't believe we were.

There was a huge period when all the women left. I believe this might be te key item you might not have seen.
The women decamped. Most likely because we turned the place into an inpenetrable frat house. Titty pics are fine the JDC banners were funny, ribbing each other was funny, but all day long was sociable and funny only to us. The boys.
If the entirely female populace eave the boys alone, isn't that a loud enough indication that what we may have thought was reasonable uncensored humour was actually excessive? I think so. Apparantly all the women did too. And now in my late 20s, dick and titty jokes all day long is just not right.


Christ I need to get some sleep. I've got work tomorrow and there's a number of youtube videos I'll want to watch from 9 to 5. :D

[wolf_2099]

I guess I don't clearly understand what the issue is here. All the nude pictures were in the Rated X forum... It's never even been that bad.

The point is all the conversation degraded to tit and dick jokes without any much, if any, actually substance.

The goal now, would be to try and cut down on the tit and dick stuff to try and stimulate more actual discussion, especially in comics and other media, I'd imagine.


And not scare the girls off, again. Heh.

[ChimeraCreative]

So... we're not going to be The Fanboy's Brothel anymore? ^_^

[William McDert]

Junkogen, who the fuck said this was about making this more Disney-like?

Read that question again and I hope you would agree that you might be making more out of this than it actually is. I hope, but I don't expect or want to make you or sway or whatever, I'm just saying as a person standing back and watching this discussion, your Mickey Mouse reference is extremely left field. I believe Mickey Mouse makes reference to his cock more than most of us in any case.

I think you should just move forward with a vasectomy but what do I know?

[Mr Wallstreet]

You guys shouldn't be on a message board at work anyway. Do your job.



Now who's being unreasonable? :D

Name all the regularly posting girls that we scared off. If you guys hadn't figured it out already, most women aren't as into comics, video games, and Star Wars as men are. Unfortunately, that's just how it is. That's why people like us have often been referred to as "nerds."

Also, nobody knows about this board. All of us came from the Wizard World board from way back in the day and gradually people have posted less as we've all gotten older, lives change, and message boards have lost their appeal for some folks. It's like real life. I don't have the same friends that I had 10 years ago. That's life. People change.

I just think that the people complaining are the people that need to self-regulate. I mean, I already do self-regulate. I rarely postwhore and primarily only use dirty humor with the other JDC members (and even that is limited to mostly meek? and Wally) because I know the rest of you don't get/like the humor. And as far as substance goes, I would love to see the rest of you join a discussion "of substance." Most recently, it's just been me and ShadowMan going back and forth with occasional commentary from others. All the rest of you just postwhore or talk about pop-cultural nonsense. To each their own, but some of you need to take a good look in the mirror.

[William McDert]

I look in the mirror more than most people and I am fucking gorgeous.

[Junkogen]

Junkogen, who the fuck said this was about making this more Disney-like?

Read that question again and I hope you would agree that you might be making more out of this than it actually is. I hope, but I don't expect or want to make you or sway or whatever, I'm just saying as a person standing back and watching this discussion, your Mickey Mouse reference is extremely left field. I believe Mickey Mouse makes reference to his cock more than most of us in any case.

I think you should just move forward with a vasectomy but what do I know?

This whole thread subject is coming out of left field. That's what I'm saying. I think the board is pretty innocuous and regulated as it is.

The JDC pretty much only talks dirty to each other and the other stuff could be fixed just by the people complaining taking their own advice in regard to postwhoring and contributing posts with substance.

All I've been saying is that I'm not changing anything I've been doing. All I've seen here is a bunch of pots calling kettles black.

So, yeah, basically this whole thread is unnecessary.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Can't we all just get along?:(

[William McDert]

Shut up Wally you fucking pussy. :)

Junk, I think the main annoyance (well, to me) is the threads that break because JDC gets in there and hump each other. I postwhore and postwhore needlessly, but I don't hump anybody on the way out. I think the problem is the humping and the constantness of it. Constantness.

It might not be a problem, but it happens often enough to over-notice.

[Junkogen]

But that's what people do; they hump. Well, I guess not me, but a lot of people do from what I've been told.

[MGM]

Name all the regularly posting girls that we scared off.

Now, I could be wrong, so correct me if mistaken. But:

Sarah, An (at a certain point for sure), Raven, Nickie. I'd say Abby as well, actually. There've been a few others who posted regularely. Not saying they all left because of it, but I'm pretty sure some of them did.

And Hell, all I'm asking is for some restraint, especially in the visual department. You can say all you want about the JDC sigs being nothing more than whatever you see in magazines (and it's true), but frankly, I'd rather NOT have the place where I'm at often be filled with those sigs. Because when I'm at someone else's place or even at home with someone else there, that simply stops me from looking in at this place.

As for the recurring gags, they were much more rampant than you seem to realise. As for anal rape not being around anymore: just take one look at CBKA's sig. Sure, it doesn't say 'anal'. But that's about it.

[ChimeraCreative]

Absolutely I left at one point cuz I couldn't take it anymore. Abby wanted nothing to do with this place anymore and my sister certainly didn't. Fer sure I left for a while cuz I couldn't take it anymore. I don't know why Raven, Penny_Lane, Belle, freakazoid, ouji_nami, etc are gone but I doubt the atmosphere helped to keep them (speculation).

But whatever facts we dig up, whatever 'proof' we have that the board might benefit from a change doesn't mean squat. Junk will still get on his soapbox and pull what I like to think of as a "reverse ShadowMan", lol. He's made a stance and he can't/won't be dissuaded from it. I don't have to like it, but I do respect it. ^_^

[CBKA]

Well, it's just too much of one subject, too frequently, too often - all the time and inescapable, since it's all over the forum. To be fair, you're not the only one guilty of it, no matter how much I like to argue that when I do it there's a hint of cleverness to it, I'm still guilty myself of occasionally offering up little else other than crude material.



Yes but the post was clearly aimed at me, when in actualy fact everyone offends. Admitedly the shit sandwich and the avatar probably sent out the message that i was coming back to make rape jokes and ruin threads but i think it was fairly obvious that i was going to revert to how id been at the end of the old BX. I mean i even ASKED if i should dump the avatar.


Cheers for getting rid of the shit hotdog. That is an appreciated effort. And please don't take this next comment as me just trying to dominate you here and get a second act of submission out of you, but your rape comment in your signiture is gratuitous while Cam's is playful. If you could drop your sig for something else, which isn't just one rung of the laddar lower, I'd appreciate that.

No problem, but it was going way before this thread. i only stuck it in in the interim. To be honest borats going soon as i can think of something more permanent. I fail to see how its gratuitous, i meerly changed a well known song to reflect peoples peoples perception of me. sort of a parody if you will.

Non stop anal and rape comments though, no matter how funny it could be argued to have been at one time, or even recently occasionally has been it's like a crappy TV show that's been pointlessly churning out more series. It was only ever going to appeal to a limited audience, got boring early on in its lifespan and bizarrely is still continuing despite a lack of interest for it.

The problem is it hasn't been nonstop anal and rape comments for well over a year atleast, and i know its become boring because i even got tired of making them.

Anyway i'm not that bothered about the whole thing i actually found it quite funny. plus i get to use my little buddy here > :ban:



I think this is the longest post i have ever done. Huzzah!


Oh yeah n fuck you MGM ;)

[CBKA]

However, Stocky is right. The amount of dick/anal jokes that used to creep up in the comics discussion threads was really weird.

Can i just add that, contrary to popular opinion, none of them were me.

[CBKA]

I might be be mistaken, but isn't there a really big gray area between white (pristine, smut-free Disneyland) and black (underground S&M sexxx club) that we can all enjoy? ^_^

yeah.

I think we were close to that at the old BX

[Mr Wallstreet]

Shut up Wally you fucking pussy. :)



:finger:

;)

[CBKA]

As for the recurring gags, they were much more rampant than you seem to realise. As for anal rape not being around anymore: just take one look at CBKA's sig. Sure, it doesn't say 'anal'. But that's about it.

take one look at wolfs sig. Sure, it doesn't say "rape". But thats about it.

[MGM]

Anal =/= rape in this. Rape is fucked up. Anal is an acquired taste.

[wolf_2099]

Anal =/= rape in this. Rape is fucked up. Anal is an acquired taste.

Dude, no one in their right mind wants to taste anal.
That'd be like eating CBKA's old avatar.

CBKA, I think you are oddly right that the derailment of comic threads was oddly never you, PHIYST on the other hand. Heh.

While I was okay with the potty humor on the old board and JDC sigs and what not, it was never something I could show my parents, or girlfriend, or really even surf while they were around, despite both of them expressing interest in seeing what it actually was, especially after going to the cons with you guys.

But whatever facts we dig up, whatever 'proof' we have that the board might benefit from a change doesn't mean squat.

That was an oddly good point, even if joking, that I had never thought of before.

[CBKA]

Anal =/= rape in this. Rape is fucked up. Anal is an acquired taste.

What you think that im walking around thinking rape is an aquired taste?

I am well aware that rape is fucked up, you want to know what else is fucked up? Necrophelia yet that was in wallys sig for years and no doubt you made jokes about it a one stage or another. So whats your big problem with mine? because i used to hijack shitload of thread with arseraping jokes? get other it it was years ago

[CBKA]

If i remember correctly Thor used to love tasting anal.

Again i would disagree on the PHIYST point. I admit i would occasionaly derail threads but i was in noway the worst offender. I just think people noticed when i did it more because i used to derail nearly everything.

I think Junk would agree with that and i think i remember CC posting something to that effect on the old board.

[Tragic Angelus]

*sigh*

I just want to talk about random things with this group of friends that my friends have no intrest, clue, or desire to talk about.

Can we just get back to doing that?

[Stocky Boy]

Me too, Eddy and again true for everyone else, I'd imagine. But, unless tensions are boiling over to the point where red mist is blurring vison, it's never a good idea to leave a discussion without having made sure we know where we've got to in all this.


These are the key points I summarise from the whole discussion so far:


There is a majority desire to tone down and restrict pervy, toilet humour on the board. Not kill it! Just relegate the majority into a suitable forum like Penthouse, where you can blast away to your hearts desire.
No dodgy avatars or signitures. We want the board to look respectable.
Back and forth conversation is fun. But let's restrict the pointless posts that are there just to up postcounts and certainly let's not derail threads with them

[ChimeraCreative]

I don't think CBKA and Major Bummer are monsters. For the most part, they've integrated well into the board. The fact that CBKA is partaking is conversations and bothering to quote people and carry on with them shows a lot of growth. It just took a long time to get there and it was a rocky road. Some folks just stay in the attention seeking 'terrible twos' phase longer than others. ^_^

(Not that I think CBKA's fully reformed from the sleaze.)

[Junkogen]

What you think that im walking around thinking rape is an aquired taste?

So whats your big problem with mine? because i used to hijack shitload of thread with arseraping jokes? get other it it was years ago

I totally agree with you. They have a double-standard, probably because Meek? wouldn't make them a banner for their sigs. Wolf for sure was always bitching about how he thought he should be in the JDC and we never let him in. And most recently, meek? was going to make a JDC-style banner for MGM because he wanted one.

Wolf now has a sig that's sexually explicit and MGM had one that said "Every couple should have porn-like sex." This is all just a big bitchy hypocrisy being spearheaded by the people that probably contribute the least amount of substance with the majority of their posts simply being postwhoring or cutesy little add-ins or non sequiturs that are the equivalent to me or anyone else making a puny joke about Wally fucking corpses, meek? breaking geriatric hips or Space Cowboy and CBKA just being a couple of silly sodomites.

You guys are just pissed because we had an inside joke going that you couldn't get in on.

And those people that left and never came back rarely posted anything of substance anyway or periodically dropped in just long enough for a couple people to blow their loads at seeing an old poster return for a New York minute. What did they ever contribute? We've got forums for any little thing you'd want to discuss and I'd rarely see them start new threads or get into any in-depth conversations with anyone. Don't blame that on a few people that happen to get along well with each other, i.e. the JDC. (And Spacey and CBKA aren't even in the JDC so their anal rape jokes have nothing to do with that.)

[CBKA]

On the first point stocky i would argue that it has been toned down, i know that i have long before xsorbit bx crashed.

The old board never really had moderation because it never really needed it. Everone posted there because they enjoyed it and noone never really steped out of line. Whats so different about here that we need some bullshit rules?

Too be honest on the avatar/sig issue i couldn't care less. The shit sandwich was there because admitedly i got a cheap giggle out of it while i decided on something more perminent. It was intended to prevoke a reaction so i could have an immature laugh about it and move on.

Btw, If people want JDC sigs i dont have a problem with it, but i cant imagine it working if 1 or 2 JDC'ers decide to sport them, especially considering around 30% of BX'ers are part of the JDC. (although if there excepting new members i could be the rapey one :D :ban:)

My general feeling is nothing as too change.

[CBKA]

was i that bad?


maybe i was a monster:(

Agreed.

I suppose there is truth that you have calmed down a bit for some time. So perhaps it's unfair that we pull up your less tasteful posting behaviour that was very prominent a year or so ago. But, if you want people to 'get over' what you are admiting was 'hijacking of threads' perhaps you should indicate your desires for this by apologising first for that distasteful behaviour that was very irritating? This would provide a very clear indication for all of us to start a new and the 'getting over it' process can begin.

There's also really no point using arguments in the vain of, 'the behaviour is accepted when this individual does it', because there appears to be strong agreement that everyone, to a greater or lesser extent needs to show better judgement and in fact it should no longer be accepted when any posters does 'it' without sound judgement.

Perhaps what you can't see, or perhaps see as unfair finger pointing in your direction, given that many others are guilty of similar behaviour, is the following; severity and long standing credit.
Your posts were pointless hijackings or simply aggressive nonsense, while ours were, by comparison, mere derailment. We, in a sense, got away with it without any majority persecution, because our taint posts were less severe and we all have a lot of credit in the bank with lots of people prior to introducing our JDC schtick.
We should all come forward and agree to use better judgement in posts, but our 'crimes' were always less severe than yours and our 'sentences' were always minimal, because we were known, long standing, respected members of the community. Any behaviour we did that was at all similar to yours (albeit the severity) was always going to be better received by our peers.

Do we all agree in spirit to my three points in my previous post?

Get back to work you fucking retards.

I laughed really hard while typing that.

It's really charming how he assumes everyone is jealous of the JDC.

And it's even more charming that he thinks he's worthy to rate everyone else's worth to be posting here and have opinions. Rock on, Junky, you trample our rights with your beliefs. ^_^

[Junkogen]

Do we all agree in spirit to my three points in my previous post?

No, because this whole board is based on pervy nerd humor. If we all agree to what you're proposing then this board ceases to be Basement X and becomes something else. Look at any new threads or posts even within the hour. People have already started talking about my mangled dick in that thread about me vs. Capitalism and notice I haven't even posted there. And that's fine, I don't care. I'm an adult. I don't know about the rest of you, but I can comfortably go to R-rated movies and not leave the theater disgusted.

[ChimeraCreative]

Cleaning up the board might not work, regular posters might drop off again and the full scale smut attack will rise up and over take the board. And Junky will have years of 'I told you so's'. We'll get over it. ^_^

[Junkogen]

It's really charming how he assumes everyone is jealous of the JDC.

I'm trampling your rights? How? I'm not advocating censoring anyone. You guys are. I'm just calling out the people that keep calling everyone else's contributions worthless. That's all. I'm not the one calling for regulations. So don't turn this whole thing around on me.

The majority of everyone's posts are tasteless, trite and insignificant. Who cares? That's what I'm saying. Again, before you go pointing out others' faults, take a look at your own.

[IrishCream]

All I read was "Blah blah blah". Geeze reading hurts my brain. Seriously, I would never show this site to my friends, family, or imaginary g/f. Not because of the content but because the discussions would be impenetrable to them. Seriously, most of us have known each other since the WW days like 8-9 years ago? Ridiculous long time ago when you think about it. I remember Ed saying he couldn't begin to explain to his friends why he was laughing at my WHO YA GOT? thread for him and Wally. That's because half of the stuff is inside jokes. That's just how it is.

As for the restraint, I usually try to show some anyway, so I really don't feel affected by it. But I could see how an animal like Junk would be angry :)

Seriously though, saying something just because you're free to say it doesn't make it funny. When it comes up randomly and infrequently is usually when it makes me chuckle. I guess that's part of the reason why I stopped caring about the old bored: only a handful of people were posting and it was all the same crap. Didn't really feel the diversity of discussion anymore. I'm pretty sure Stocky probably expressed all of these points in one of the essays he posted on this thread.

[CBKA]

?

You admitted yourself on this very board that i wasn't the same poster as i used to be, and i think it was more than likely over 2 years ago (i didnt post for 6-9 month in 2008 i think).

Your feel i should apologise for the anal rape talk when similar stuff was prevelant throughout the board. Why?

Me going in to a thread and making a joke was no different than someone else going into a thread and making a joke about meek fucking grannys, wally boning stiffs, junks flailled member and wolf liking a shit sport (you know its true;))

The only difference was i wasn't an estabished member.

You'd have to be a fucking idiot (or a continental european with a grunge against english meatheads) to see that the anal jokes had dried up and were rarely used anymore.

[Stocky Boy]

Junk -
No one is jealous of the JDC.

Ridiculously out of control toilet humour posting needs to be kept into single forums AND postwhoring needs to stop.
I'm sure the postwhores can agree to that, which then doesn't make them hypocrites, since they wouldn't be pointing out one bad behaviour and getting away with theirs.
Also, as inane as their back and forth conversation was. It didn't send people away. It's unfair to then suggest that their inane conversation should be judged in the same light as inane toilet humour posting that swept across every forum like wildfire.

All the departees, which everyone but apparantly yourself liked, were disatisfied from not wanting to post in between non stop, everywhere toilet humour posts. Something easily fixed by putting most smut posts into one forum. Precious freedom to fully express yourself is not removed from a person, if they still get to do it, albeit in one forum majoritively.


CBKA -
It does appear that this board is currently running in a way that's both fun for the majority of us and viewable at work. Though, I disagree that it previously satisfied work posting and was fun for all. It was not fun seeing assrape pointlessness all the time and even my back and forth with Meek and Wally was tiresome and just someone saying, "let's take a break from this stiff" in a ruling fashion would have got us more quickly to the balance we currently appear to have.

We appear to have a majority desire to do away with pervy sigs. I respect your opinion, but there's a visible desire to move towards a work respectable look.

[Stocky Boy]

CBKA -

If you think it's wrong to have posted non stop ass-raping posts, why do you therefore not feel you owe anyone an apology?

There's a big point about the established member point that I feel you are missing. If people accept shit from me, it doesn't then mean it will be accepted from you. Fair or not, it's the established group dynamic and so your behaviour clashed with the group while mine and anyone else's didn't, because we were established. This difference is significant, which is why someone like MGM and others like me would feel you own apologies for your posts, but I likely don't. Furthermore, my posts were accepted by the majority of the board at the time, but contributed to the evacuation of others. Yours were reluctantly accepted / ignored as best as possible and largley contributed to the evacuation of others.

Suggesting I could be a 'fucking idiot' goes back to my point about you being needlessly agressive. Maybe it is a social background problem I have here. But this would be evidenced as justifiable disagreement with you right now considering the would be 'meathead' in the discussion has decided to suggest I could be a fuckng idiot, while I've stuck to crticism.

I don't know why, but Junk, possibly just through tenure seems to have enough credit in the bank not to completely rub everyone the wrong way, when he's rude. You do not have this tenure. Neither should Junk.

Irish -
Thanks for the post!
Junk and CBKA aren't likely to get anywhere with me now. The wheels spinning round and round for us. So, maybe they'll atleast hear you.

I don't know why, and I don't mean to be snidy, but I don't see why CBKA and Junk have a problem about restriction. I've just gotten back from drinks with a former work colleague. Talked normally to her and had fun. Talked normally to another former colleague and talked dick jokes non stop with him. However, with him, we both kept the conversation restricted between us and not with the entire forum. This is the judgement I expect on this board. Apparantly, most other people do to.

[Junkogen]

Junk -

You don't know that. You're just making that up. No one knows why they left. All I know is that they didn't stay long and they didn't contribute anything "of substance." And I'm not the one saying posts without substance are bad. Who gives a shit? It's a message board. Post whatever the fuck you want. And I never said I didn't like the people that left. I'm just saying that it didn't really seem like they were too in to the place to begin with. Their reasons for leaving were probably more along the lines of what Irish just said about how it just wasn't that interesting anymore. I can agree with that.

Again, I'M NOT THE ONE TRYING TO CHANGE ANYTHING. I don't think anything needs to change. Everyone seems to be able to correct themselves. Again, the people complaining are the people that should shut the fuck up and self-regulate and everything would be fine.

[CBKA]

If "everyone" needs to show better judgment then who exactly are we offending?

Perhaps what you can't see, or perhaps see as unfair finger pointing in your direction, given that many others are guilty of similar behaviour, is the following; severity and long standing credit. Your posts were pointless hijackings or simply aggressive nonsense, while ours were, by comparison, mere derailment. We, in a sense, got away with it without any majority persecution, because our taint posts were less severe and we all have a lot of credit in the bank with lots of people prior to introducing our JDC schtick.

I see what your getting at, but i came to the board to pass time and enjoy myself. i saw the type of shit you lot wrote and before i'd even wrote a word i knew i was a good fit here. did i take to far? yeah no doubt but thats life, deal with. The only reason i got it you mentioned "severity and long standing credit" is because i was relatively new and took it further than you lot. If an established member had started some of the stuff i had (and lets be honest i only took a few threads off topic) it would have been forgten about in no time at all.


We should all come forward and agree to use better judgement in posts, but our 'crimes' were always less severe than yours and our 'sentences' were always minimal, because we were known, long standing, respected members of the community.

really? if the old BX hadn't crashed would you have an issue?

and i disagree anything i did near the end was anymore severe than anyone else. And the fact that other posters have acknowledged that shows that.


Do we all agree in spirit to my three points in my previous post?

no

Get back to work you fucking retards.

Only if you pay me a wage

[Junkogen]

really? if the old BX hadn't crashed would you have an issue?



Bravo.


And to get back to the people being jealous of JDC. That admittedly was an overstatement, primarily used for childish argumentative effect. What I was primarily getting at is that before the board crashed, MGM was looking forward to seeing his new sig from meek? and Wolf had always been trying to get into the JDC. So why they're all of sudden bitching about it now makes me wonder. Why is it such an issue now?

[Stocky Boy]

Whilst pointing out hypocrisy in others, which is only marginaly true, you appear to be ignoring/trampling over the majority opinion that action is desired with lines like "who cares?". Apparantly a lot of people do!

You're not just calling people out. You're pretending a large majority aren't saying they want these restrictions.

[ChimeraCreative]

Bravo.

It's a fresh start and new opportunity. Some folks have re-evaluated what they want from the board and have spoken up about it. Maybe, just maybe, we're growing up and want to try something different. That's not a crime.

[Junkogen]

"Who cares?" is an expression, not usually meant to be taken literally.



You're not just calling people out. You're pretending a large majority aren't saying they want these restrictions.

Not at all. I'm voicing my opinion. I can't have a dissenting opinion? You guys are just giving bullshit reasons for imposing regulations.

When you're at work, do you your fucking job. I shouldn't have to accommodate your lack of self-control. If you work at a place that wouldn't appreciate you being at a site that has a couple ladies dressed in scant attire then don't go to that site at work. Wait until you get home. Maybe you should go bitch at your boss because he won't let you play XBox at work, too. You probably can't drink alcohol while you work either. I know it's strange that an employer would want you to actually do work while they pay you, but that's kind of how the world operates. Hey, I don't like it either.

[Junkogen]

It's a fresh start and new opportunity. Some folks have re-evaluated what they want from the board and have spoken up about it. Maybe, just maybe, we're growing up and want to try something different. That's not a crime.

Then grow up, but don't go blaming other people for your own flaws. Just correct your own behavior and other people usually follow suit without any need for new regulations or agreements that are never going to be followed.

Maybe I would like more people to talk about unicorns. Does that mean I should get all pissypants and force everyone to comply? No. The world doesn't revolve around me. Just because you think something should be done a certain way doesn't mean that I have to.

All I ever said from the beginning was that I was just going to keep doing what I do and that the people complaining were in essence complaining about themselves. If you guys think you need to change, then change. Don't postwhore. Cool. Great.

And the JDC sigs are a irrelevant. They were lost with the other board. So move on.

[Stocky Boy]

And I shouldn't have to accomodate your rudeness. You can have an opposing opinion, but it doesn't need to be vulgarly expressed. The rudeness does nothing but detract from your points.

The comments about my work largely have nothing to do with this discussion and are just insults. Just as much a waste of my time as it is yours. The point about what I want to see on the board, at work is the only relevent bit to this discussion. What harm could it do to you if we cut back a bit and just lodge most of it in one forum?
I really don't see why you have a big problem with this? You're shouting and screaming in your posts and I just can't see why.

Bullshit reasons or not, it would appear the majority want the change official. If you could ease back on the anger, I'd look forward to seeing you enjoy the board with me, with the changes.

Otherwise, I'd look forward very much to you leaving. You're just rude.

[ChimeraCreative]

I concur. Maybe Junky needs a happy ending and a nap so he can come back to the discussion table tomorrow with an attitude we can all deal with, eh? We're all friends here, no need to get hostile.

[Junkogen]

That's cool. You guys do your thing. I'll just peace out for awhile and see what happens. I don't want to get in the way of "progress." I don't really think anything's going to change here, though. But it'll be interesting to see you guys crack down on all these threads that are as trite and juvenile as they've always been.

:seeya:

[ChimeraCreative]

There's no cracking down, there's just mutual respect and a mutual agreement that we'll be a little more adult in the way we conduct ourselves. It's not censorship. We're not trying to force you out, we're not even asking you to change your mind. How about giving it a chance? I don't think BX is going to be radically different from what it was before.

Not entirely, no. Feel free to keep arguing amongst yourselves. I do think, though, that the :argue: is going to lead to hard feelings and people leaving (again, in some cases) and I don't want to see that.

[William McDert]

voting is fun

[IrishCream]

I see a lot of people getting butt hurt over nothing. Seriously, I don't really see anyone being censored. If someone's being an idiot and saying stupid crap in a thread, someone just reel them in and tell 'em to chill. This doesn't have to be some big debate.

[William McDert]

And how is this any different from the way it's always been?

See, there's no reason to get all formal and retarded with rules. Finally some sensible people.

[William McDert]

As long as there are no naughty images, it should be work-safe at least right?

Is that one thing we can all agree on?

[Junkogen]

I think I've already done enough damage by voicing my opinion on this matter. I agree to no changes. If anyone is worried that content on here could get them in trouble at work, then don't come here while at work. I just think it's incredibly ridiculous (and selfish) that we have to make this site "work safe." Especially, since I suspect people have been logging on here for quite awhile at work even with the now-notorious JDC sigs running amok, raping and pillaging the board.

[IrishCream]

I agree. Maybe the only thing that really needed to be said was the images thing, but even then I'm just abiding by that for everyone else. I don't really go on the computer at work since I fix planes all damn day.

[CBKA]

Man did this turn ugly fast.


How about a quick bit of you know what (;)) to ease the mood (:ban:)

[MGM]

I've seen my name up a few times, so here goes:

1. I don't expect an apology from CBKA. To be fair, his worst days are indeed behind us.
2. Jealous at the JDC? Sorry, but don't delude yourself. I never asked for a JDC banner, but a JDC-styles banner. One which I wouldn't have used as a sig. Disbelieve me? Too bad, not my problem.
3. Porn-like sex. It's gone, innit?
4. Both me and Wulf have acknowledged postwhoring should stop.
5. I KNOW FOR FACT people left BX due to the rampant smut.
6. The visuals aren't just for work. I wouldn't even want friends to show the old BX because of them. Wulf wouldn't want to show his parents, who met some of us.

[Stocky Boy]

I've had enough of this thread.

I get the feeling some time down the line, those who were against any change will claim evidence that the board remained exactly the same and those who were for a change will equally claim change happened.


MGM -
I wouldn't want Wulf's parents seeing all my posts, but I wouldn't mind them seeing some of them. It's not false, it's just selective. You don't say things the same way to one group of people as you do to another.

Exactly, and we type like thisto each otherbecause thats who the posts are intended for. I would never talk to my parents like i do with my mates.

[ChimeraCreative]

Should we just lock this thing and let it sink? Might be the most responsible thing to do.

[CBKA]

im done with it anyway. I found it amusing at first but it turned serious too fast.

And the sadest thing of all? its all semantics because no ones going to get banned no matter what side of the fence your on.

[William McDert]

I'm on the side with the pool.

[Junkogen]

This is where I'm letting it stand: I'm going to post what I want to post as I've done for the past 9 years. If that becomes an issue and people feel the need to police me, then police me, ban me, do whatever the fuck you feel you've gotta do.

Whether anyone wants to admit it, this is all much ado about nothing.

And if meek? made me a new JDC sig banner for this board, I'd sport that motherfucker proudly.

[William McDert]

Get off Mic's junk, damn.

I mean dayumn.

You might however, if we catch you sitting on the fence. Eh, eh!

Okay, sorry, that wasn't funny.

[William McDert]

Not at all. :(

[wolf_2099]

Sorry, eventually some of them have to fall flat. It's just the way it goes.

[Goshin]

means we're starting all over, a nice clean break with the filthy past.

Example: no signature pics. No JDC. No absurd postcounts.

And, IF GOD FORBID NOT TOO MUCH TO BE ASKED, no anal rape talk, no anal rape sigs, no fucking disgusting avatars and just plan normal behaviour.

Yes, I'm talking to you, CBKA.
