Sometimes, I hate forums.

Man, some places are ASS. I don't think I feel good about posting on the H3r0 G4m3's pages anymore; I was looking for info and found a neat campaign - but found the author had been banned.

So, I sorta wonder why, I mean, I'm curious, tho I know people are stupid.

Apparently they got banned for calling a guy a troll for talking up how the UN is this horrible thing and how he shoots all UNTIL agents on American soil. That guy is still around.

Ewww.

If it makes you feel any better I shoot anyone working for UNICEF. I heard on the internets that it is trying to steal my freedoms, and the internets has never lied to me. I take them to Canada before shooting though. I also wear a tinfoil hat, not only because it is the pinnacle of fashion, but to protect all the valuable, valuable thoughts in my head.

You shouldn't take them to Canada, because the crafty Canadese are plotting to invade us with their suger-powered maple Ents. That's why I'm stocking up on chainsaws and gasoline. I keep my gasoline in empty one-gallon milk jugs buried in my back yard for safety.

Instead, you should lure them into a boat and sail 12 miles out, where THERE ARE NO LAWS! Then you can killmurder them while flipping off the Coast Guard and have a drugkillrapemurdersex orgy with underage monkey hookers.

Edit: And moonshine.

So, I sorta wonder why
Without knowing the specifics, here's my hypothesis:

Because creativity ≠ ability to play well with others.
and because 90% of the internet is people shouting "No! you're wrong!"
and because mods on larger sites have to maintain an appearance of neutrality.


Then again, In my own experience I have found the Hero forums to be marginally helpful at best, so it's probably not a great loss.

The one where I gave up modding anywhere several years back.

To connect to the friendly Internet, you need to do lines of coke.

I tried it, but whenever I pour it from the cup onto the table/prostitute*, it just leaks everywhere and makes a sticky mess. Perhaps I'm meant to freeze it first or something.

But yeah, they don't need to pretend to be neutral on bigger sites. Maybe they have too big a site to be able to supervise everything and get involved, so you really just don't see them getting into much, but they still don't pretend to be neutral.

*Legal in every state EXCEPT FUCKING SOUTH AUSTRALIA, GODDAMN YOU RELIGIOUS SHITHEADS, DIE IN A FIRE EVERY ONE OF YOU. Not that I even know if they cater to those of the lesbicious variety. They might just say "Sorry, none of the girls enjoy that/society frowns on that. There are some things money won't buy."

Ah, THERE"S my problem. See, I've been lining up Coke cans and trying to knock them over domino-style. It doesn't work at all with full cans, so I had to drink them all, and that got me all hyper and twitchy. I tried it with empty cans, and that worked better, but they still kept falling sideways.

So I hired two of the tallest hookers I could find and had them lay down and lined up the coke cans on their backs. They kept twitching, which made the cans fall over. Then I told them I needed to pee (from drinking all the coke), and they said I was a kinky freak and left.

I need to freeze a case of coke and find some flatter hookers.

You could snort rock candy cola, ground down and sprinkled fine upon yonder wench posterior.
I don't know how the chemicals and carbonation change such a crystallization process but it's worth a shot.

From my understanding of legal American brothels, they typically have women that would cater to your needs. I have never been to Australia, so your mileage may vary.

My experience is that cocaine makes things even more unfriendly. The really friendly internet is based on copious amounts of weed. The drawback is that it isn't quite as interesting as it thinks it is and loads kind of slowly.

Oh, COCAINE! So that's where I was going wrong. I was trying to snort Coca Cola. Well, you live and you learn.

Also, Frank's IJ post about cocaine users did a better job of keeping me off it than any government-sponsored campaign could. Although I do like the current anti-drinking one (it shows how it makes you look like a dickhead).

And as someone who takes a lot of pain meds, let me say this: narcotics don't make the Internet friendlier, angrier or different at all, but you're happier to sit and read stuff anyway.

It just pisses me off when 'asking a question' about moderation becomes a reason to get banned whereas making snarky comments which lead to a place being less safe for others, isn't.

I really miss the 'be a dumbass elsewhere' and the 'there's no such thing as a stupid question' rules.

As I understand it, they'll do pretty much anything for money, hence why they're hookers.
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.
