Re: Awesome New Thread Idea
Nothing big and exciting will happen if some of you insist on being tedious. I will just be disappointed.
Maybe I shouldn't have pointed out that it has been Blue Blood's policy to not ban people. I make an effort to be accessible and I've always enjoyed these forums in the past.
But I'm a busy person and I'm not about to start having to be a moderator here. My time is limited and moderating is very very boring to me.
If I have to select someone to nanny, they will be empowered to moderate as they see fit. There are a few of you who have always entertained in the past who could probably appeal to me if you felt the moderation was too harsh. But only very occasionally.
After years of these forums running smoothly and enjoyably, with no need for more than the occasional suggestion, it was my view that there were a couple of posters who lowered the tone a bit for a few weeks, but I have believed that the vast majority of you are better than that. If a bit of minimal exposure to like two kinda pathetic posters and one troll makes too many of you forget how to interact normally, I'll be disappointed. That's all.

So, just to be clear, making a joke at the expense of trolls gets you censored. Also, asking about said censorship gets you censored?

Just to be clear, although most Blue Blood TOS can be read like an ". . . in bed" fortune cookie by appending ". . . except for Rockwulf" and maybe it is not fair when multiple people copy the joke you already told and it makes the original joke stale. But the repetition made it tedious.
I know you are thoroughly capable of starting interesting threads. I hope you'll continue to do so. I enjoy what you have to say 90% of the time, although I think it would be mildly more convenient for layout if you'd resize your comics posts to 600 pixels wide or less.
It really boils down to a time management issue. I do not have the time or inclination to spend a lot of time parsing out how I personally find you, Ajax, and Raza extra entertaining, but, wait, Raza was insensitive in the DUI thread, so I understand Velvet's frustration but I wish it were not being expressed as an attack on Raza in a thread where I was asking people to be more sensitive to one another, blah, blah, blah. Not interesting to me.
Moderation has not been needed here before, so I know everyone here is capable of interacting without it when they want to, and I'm simply not about to get all up in it.

Your Garfield Minus Garfield thread was cool. It is easier to not start threads, and only post noncommittally in other people's threads, but I don't think it is really more fun.
Re: Awesome New Thread Idea
my threads never go anywhere...
like my poor stupid cat. i thought it was a pretty damn funny picture, even if i did LOLcat it.
but, i still try to post sometimes... i'm just really not that interesting.
Re: Awesome New Thread Idea
I might start a thread one day. It might even not be some silly news item I've seen on the web or something although that's about all I look at mostly. I am building a (hopefully) killer app so maybe I'll start one in the promotional board in a year or so to spruik it.

An app would be cool. Baby steps.
I have not started a thread in a long time. I was on the fence about it earlier today. I felt one brewing, but I just wasn't sure if it was going to be good or not. So I didn't do it. :(
