Been gone for a while but
by nikkicrs
where has all the FUN gone from BOF. No games, no jokes, no bantering. Has that been banned? Will I be banned for mentioning this.

It's all at wikifray and Quiblit now, sweetie.

Banter, jokes, games - that's what those places are made of.

Je Suis, Je Reste
by Urquhart

You are right. Weird really, but since Moira returned, Hurricane Geoff seems to blow through every month or so (no comment),
banning and flushing so that the posters worth reading turn away in frustration and disgust. Odd, because one would think the return of Moira would herald a Golden Age for the BOTF. My contributions to the suggestion box (ie, make BOTF the personal demesne of Moira) seem to have been eaten en route.

But dammit, the Undying does not give up. This is my board, and so it shall remain. No retreat, no surrender. The South Park Quiz below is still open. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, at least support posters who seem vaguely cognizant of the fact that they're not changing the world by posting here.

As a fun corollary, taunt those that don't. Seem cognizant.

People still come through and post fun stuff...

...just not as often. But nobody gets banned or flushed for doing it. Please feel free.

You still don't get it.

No one has any problem with you (or switters) telling us how you're feeling at the moment in your bubble-baths.

It's when you step out of them and try to drip some social or political commentary across the bathroom floor - that's when you've got to be put in your place.

Hmmm. Square That
by Urquhart

With your response right above. See it? Just right up there. Same thread. Can't miss it.

Seems like you have a big problem with it.

The one about Wikifray and Quiblit?

If so, I have to ask if you are in your cups?

The two thoughts are entirely unrelated - the first a joke (good bad or indifferentz) - the second, a serious observation.

BTW, weren't you once Mountebank?

If so, I much preferred him.

Far less smirky.

At Least You Quit Spamming
by Urquhart

So that's freed up some space.

Your Quiblit post was quite relevant. "The silly persons are elsewhere, toots. Here, we're all about serious issues. Like Communism, and emailing Keith Olbermann. None of that kid stuff you miss so much."

And naturally, anytime such kid stuff is posted, you hop in to say "Man, I just cannot believe anyone would dare post such stuff around here. We're all about serious issues. Like Communism and emailing Keith Olbermann."

Course I was never Mountebank. Man was an idiot. I've been (let's see) Urquhart, UrquharttheUndying, Quirinus, HallMonitor, Rosenkreutz, hizzoner . . .

Don't forget crude jokes that only he laughs at, or top-posted links with no comment about mormon boy calendars.

Really important stuff, ya know.

What is a "mormon boy calendar"? Does it wear a white shirt and cheap tie?
