General Time-Wasting Thread

[Ben]

As suggested by Corto, this is the official thread for banter and socializing, in order to prevent it from spilling into other topics. Just remember that harrassment is still against the rules, and to use some common sense when posting.

Anyway, have fun. :V



[XAERUN BUZZ-KILL EDIT]
ATTENTION! This thread is NOT an anything-goes thread! It is still subject to most of the forum rules, specifically:

• Trolling or other Malicious Behavior. This also pertains to PMs towards other users. Trolling includes deliberate provocation of negative or hostile responses from other users. An example of this would be a thread “calling out” or naming and attacking another user. Malicious behavior includes phrases such as “fuck off,” “fuck you,” or basic insults.
• Racial or ethnic slurs. Racial and slurs include the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_slur
• Advertisements, exceptions being commission offers for visual or written art, or fursuits, or for flash games or various furry-fandom related websites placed in the proper subforums (The Black Market, The Art Exchange, and Lynx Plox). Advertisements for products, your labor, or organizing a group such as a band are better suited to websites such as www.monster.com, or www.craigslist.com.
• Vigilantism. Do not encourage the harassment of other mainsite users, and do not call out or attack users in forum threads. Report forum rule violations to the staff using the “report” button; report mainsite rule violations to the staff using trouble tickets. Harassment of malefactors is still harassment, and therefore disruptive.
• Harassment. “Harassment” is defined as repeatedly attacking a user in multiple threads, particularly when such attacks also constitute thread derailment.
• Do not organize raids here; this is not an /i/ board. Do not encourage other users to make disruptive comments on blogs, comment sections to articles, or other foums, or to use and undertake disruptive behaviors on any other website. “Disruptive comments”include trolling, harassment, malicious behavior, and spam. “Disruptive behavior” includes any behavior that makes it more difficult for users to enjoy the website as it was intended to be used, for example by crashing a simulation, sabotaging a wikipedia article, or griefing.
• Role playing [posts]. Threads advertising a role-playing website are acceptable in the Lynx Plox subforum.
• No warez, cracks, keygens and other related piracy. Do not solicit or offer torrents or for free copies of copyrighted material.
• We are bound by US Federal, California and Pennsylvania state laws. Any activities considered illegal are not permitted. Discussion is permitted within reason provided you do not admit to undertaking any activity considered illegal and/or you do not provide assistance in committing an illegal activity.

Limitations:

• Keep the forums "Work Safe" - PG-13 is used to describe this but nudity, overly graphic for example is a no. This requirement includes stories, avatars, and signatures. As a rule of thumb, if you (either you personally or normal users) would not want your mother or a child seeing or reading something, it's PG-13 at minimum.
• Links may contain mature/adult material, but must be labeled with NSFW or some other appropriate label. This is in exception to the PG-13 rule above.

Do not expect moderators to be lenient simply because you failed to read the OP.

Ohmygod I made it sticky as fast as I could

 

[Corto]

That's what she said

 

[Xipoid]

The disappointment. How it flows.

 

[blackfuredfox]

this seems ever so farmiliar, history repeating itself seems so relevant right now but i cant place my finger on it.

 

[Fuzzy Alien]

Good idea. We had this on a couple other forums I modded/admin'd. People need a random chat thread.

 

[Darkwing]

Well, there's no real discussion going on here sooo.

Which internet browser do you guys use? I use firefox.

There's enough server space now to sustain long threads, if that's what you're referring to.

Also, I use Firefox because I'm a filthy add-on whore. :V

 

[Lucy Bones]

My "mood thread" senses are tingling...

 

[Joeyyy]

...what if we could fly...

...think about it

You can't force conversation, man. It's gotta come naturally. Just go with the flowww, maaan.

 

[Corto]

I just wanted to give a quick mention that since these kinda threads always allow themselves to turn into a all out insult-orgy with NSFW links thrown in for good measure, I'll personally mod this one and the first one to break the forum rules will get a month-long ban, no infractions or warnings.

 

[blackfuredfox]

My "mood thread" senses are tingling...

thats it, just buried under quite a bit of mental rubbish.

 

[Alstor]

I use IE because I'm cool like that.

Flying would be awesome.

Now, let's talk about Jesus.

 

[Lobo Roo]

Lawl, now that we've got this it's like...what to talk about?

I use Explorer, Firefox frustrates me for some reason. I actually prefer Opera or Safari, though, when I get my Mac fixed. Damn dog.

 

[Lucy Bones]

You still need a decent IMing program.

 

[Tommy]

This thread is just what I needed.
And since everybody is talking about browsers, I use firefox/IE.

 

[8-bit]

Why am I not disturbed by anything anymore? ;^;

Srs, I watch Pyramid Head hump things. Nothing. I watch gory zombie flicks with children getting torn apart. Nothing.


Oh, and I use Firefox :3

To address the criticism in this thread:

This forum is called Rants and Raves. An OP that says "Need I say more?" is the exact antithesis to a rant. It's not that complicated.

However, I do understand your socialization woes. So here, have a thread for that.

http://forums.furaffinity.net/showth...93#post1855993

Enjoy.

And no, I didn't lock this.

Bull-Fucking-Shit.

That was a rant, and a good one, at that.

The mods need to swallow their pride and permit this thread to continue, to avoid the creation of other threads.

 

[foxmusk]

OH GOD FINALLY!

i have all this time and finally a place to spend it!

[12:03] <@Xaerun> Nah, I'd lock 'cause... well
[12:03] <@Xaerun> It's a thread that's basically "AND WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH X?"

It wasn't a thread, it was a tweet at best. Hell, not even that.
"Need I say more" is no thread.

 

[Torrijos-sama]

"Need I say more" is no thread.

I think it counts as one, especially when it has an actual point.

 

[Corto]

Hey Xaerun, I heard mods are fags. Confirm/deny?

 

[OssumPawesome]

This won't work the way you think it will.

Take it from someone who likes the offtopicy type banter.

It's like walking into a group of people and screaming "LET US HAVE A FRIENDLY, NONSERIOUS DISCUSSION. COMMENCE!"

 

[blackfuredfox]

im too lazy, that and my comp is a piece of shit that is surprisingly still running as good as it is.
