Recently, an arguement was made about how a lot of posts in this area were spamming posts.

It was mentioned that people post rather quickly here, because they have become friends. The idea of having another place for people to visit, and just post about anything was brought up. And here it is:

http://random42.proboards43.com/index.cgi

GO to it people......let's take some of the stress off the Lage, and the mods...

I joined the board too, and my username is the same as it is here :)

I'm waiting for my email activation right now.

Awesome, thanks for joining everyone!

Thanks, I am waiting for an activation email. My username is half the same :P Its Emptyy

I joined too. I hope lots of other people join as well. Good luck with it..

Me too!! See ya there!

Count me in, too! I'll try registering after awhile. :biggrinangelA:
Sassy Lassie says the same! :clover:

I joined.. waiting for the email right now. Same name too ;D

how long did it take for everyone else to get their activation email??? :(

I got the email almost instantaneously. Do you have a spam blocker? It might have caught it?

Mine was instant too.
Good job all........keep 'em coming.

I registered last night...and got my activation thing quickly after that....I go by Becky on there. :P

oh i finally got it.. almost an hour and half.. yikes!

I signed up on there too (as islandchica). It's really cool! :)

I signed up. Name is morningglory... Just waiting for my e-mail :)

I signed up. My name is pittsfieldemokid! ;D

Good.....MORE
PB, your avi is............. :fear3:

Hey Mads have you signed on yet?

I joined at the board but I probably won't post. The color scheme is whack.

If anyone wants a good board to join and talk about anything go to this:

http://lostfanfic.proboards15.com

It was made for Lost Fan Fics but there's a board for talking about anything, and I'll make extra boards too if needed. As you can see I made the colors to look like The Fuselage. Join and come chat.

You do know that you can pick another color scheme right?

well seeing as how I've been making proboards forums for about 6 months... yes, yes I do know. :P

Then why don't you just choose an alternate colour scheme then? Rather than to post here - on a different board no less - about how "whack" it is. Some might consider that harrassment. Surely the if you have a problem with LearnToFly's board, then posting your concerns on that board would be the best way to go about expressing yourself? Just a thought. :)

AJ there is a black/gray color scheme that I like.

Hey Mads have you signed on yet?


yes I have...second one to do so :D

well I thought by saying that I knew about the different color schemes, it would imply that I tried them all out. But I guess some people jsut need explaining. :)

well I thought by saying that I knew about the different color schemes, it would imply that I tried them all out.

Oh. I thought it implied that you thought the actual colour scheme was "whack", by your comment. With an additional possible insinutaion that you belived LearnToFly's board itself to be "whack". Your claim:

If anyone wants a good board to join and talk about anything go to this:

....regarding your own board, suggests you were proposing that LearnToFly's board was somehow inferior to it. That it was not a "good" board, no?


But I guess some people jsut need explaining. :)

I guess they do.

So do I need to explain to you that you should change the text beneath your avatar. It's an attempt to bypass the language filters, an innapropriate phrase, and could also be considered somewhat disrespectful to females.

nope not the board itself, just the colors, but nice try.

....regarding your own board, suggests you were proposing that LearnToFly's board was somehow inferior to it. That it was not a "good" board, no?

Actually that all depends on what word in my sentence you emphasize. If you emphasize good, then you're right, it might come off like that, but if you emphasize anything, it doesn't. THat's my bad for not putting "anything" in italics. :)

I guess they do.

It wasn't an attempt to bypass the language filters, I just assumed that I shouldn't put the real word there. I thought it might get me banned so I censored it myself. I'm sorry, next time I'll just cuss freely. And judging by the last part of what you said, you obviously don't know what a pimp slap is. ;)

nope not the board itself, just the colors, but nice try.

Nice try at what, exactly? Questioning you on your unecssarily critical post? I thought I did rather a good job. :)


Actually that all depends on what word in my sentence you emphasize. If you emphasize good, then you're right, it might come off like that, but if you emphasize anything, it doesn't. THat's my bad for not putting "anything" in italics. :)

Um, that makes no sense to me. If I emphasise "good" then I am right, but if I emphasise anything I'm not? ??? Surely the word "good" is covered under your collective *anything*? You are making no sense there. *confused* I assume that you're attempting to tell me that my interpretation of your post is wrong?

In which case, yes, it is your "bad" for not making it clear enough. Perhaps leaving out the criticism of LearnToFly's board and the offering of your own as a "good" alternative would have made it even clearer that you meant no such thing. In any case, I don't see why you would need to italicise any of the words. If you didn't need the word "good" there then why include it?


It wasn't an attempt to bypass the language filters, I just assumed that I shouldn't put the real word there. I thought it might get me banned so I censored it myself. I'm sorry, next time I'll just cuss freely.

Did you not consider that you could have just not put "that word" there at all? ??? Given that its a generally accepted curse word, and against board rules. We don't have a language filter here just for fun.

Cussing freely probably isn't the best idea, but feel free to ignore my advice. ::)


And judging by the last part of what you said, you obviously don't know what a pimp slap is. ;)

I don't? Oh, sorry. :-[

Logic suggested to me that it refers to a physical *slap* that a Pimp might deliver to his female employees. Taken in a broader context, it could refer to a type of slap that a guy might deliver to a lady-friend.

Online definitions, including the Urban Dictorionary and Wikipedia, appear to support this conclusion. Go look it up.

So that's wrong? ???


Also? Replacing the offensive text with "REMOVED DUE TO UPTIGHT PEOPLE", could esily be interpreted as rudeness towards your fellow posters, or more controversially, rudeness towards a Moderator. :o

Though I'm sure I must be misunderstanding, that you were not directing any rudeness towards myself, and were in no way insinuating that I am "uptight" in any way.

Um, that makes no sense to me. If I emphasise "good" then I am right, but if I emphasise anything I'm not? Huh Surely the word "good" is covered under your collective *anything*? You are making no sense there. *confused* I assume that you're attempting to tell me that my interpretation of your post is wrong?

I meant anything as in the word "anything", which is why I put it in quotes. :P

I've seen other people do that plenty of times, and in threads that mods posted in too. And they didn't get so much as a warning... but I know how the mods in this place work don't worry.

I don't? Oh, sorry. Embarrassed

What things mean in dictiionary's and what they mean in different part of the country is totally different things. For one, pimp slap in the south would definitely mean what you said... but in New York or LA it's often used as an insult towards men as well.

Also see if skeet is in the dictionary. the dictionary doesn't exactly keep up on slang.

Also? Replacing the offensive text with "REMOVED DUE TO UPTIGHT PEOPLE", could esily be interpreted as rudeness towards your fellow posters, or more controversially, rudeness towards a Moderator. Shocked

Though I'm sure I must be misunderstanding, that you were not directing any rudeness towards myself, and were in no way insinuating that I am "uptight" in any way.

I got a PM from two other users complaining about it too.

I meant anything as in the word "anything", which is why I put it in quotes. :P

Um, no you didn't. This is what you posted:

If anyone wants a good board to join and talk about anything go to this:

Oh, you mean in your second post. Ah I see! I guess I am just stupid, and you are more clever and funny than I am.


I've seen other people do that plenty of times, and in threads that mods posted in too. And they didn't get so much as a warning...

You should have reported their posts then. >:(


but I know how the mods in this place work don't worry.

Actually, by your insinuations in another thread here that the staff are Nazis, I think you may have very little actaul knowledge as to how the Mods work...because I am fairly certain they are not Nazis. Also fairly certain that insinuating such libellous remarks won't earn you a very good reputation with any of the members here.... or the Mods.

I'm pretty sure that libeling, slandering, posting of information about other posters known to be untrue, and other attempts at berating other members is prohibited, under the Site Rules.

But of course you know that, because you "know how the mods in this place work", don't you?

I totally agree with you, they do.

Which is why it's important that you realise that this board is used by people from all over ther world, and that some of the users may have been offended by you claiming a desire to "Pimp-Slap" them in your profile, which was displayed by all of your posts. 8)



Also see if skeet is in the dictionary. the dictionary doesn't exactly keep up on slang.

"A form of trapshooting in which clay targets are thrown from traps to simulate birds in flight and are shot at from different stations".

So what are you saying here, that you want go shooting with me? Or that you want to shoot me?

Oh, you mean the vulgar, sexual connotation of the word "skeet"? Because that's not very nice, or appropriatte, surely?


I got a PM from two other users complaining about it too.

See? I told you it could easily be interpreted as rudeness. :)

But... if you've had complaints from two other users as well, then why is the comment still there? ???

Oh, you mean in your second post. Ah I see! I guess I am just stupid, and you are more clever and funny than I am.

OK, that whole part of the argument seems to have been settled...

You should have reported their posts then.

well... I'm not a rat, and I don't particularly mind it... so I'd rather have someone who is offended by the comments report them. It would be very hypocrtical of me to do so. Sort of like if I was a bank robber and caught you robbing a bank and turned you in. :P

I never said they were Nazi's. And if I did... then I have forgotten it. If I remember correctly(Which I hardly ever do) I said something about this place being run liek a Nazi concentration camp... meaning you guys are strict... I never meant that you guys are racists or anything.

I totally agree with you, they do.

oh no... it's nice... especially if the girl has an apple bottom. But appropriate is another story... :P

But... if you've had complaints from two other users as well, then why is the comment still there?

No I meant I got a PM from them complaining about what was there the first time.

Ah hell, I'll remove this one too. Maybe you'll like the next one better...

back to our happy place

AND the whole point of starting this thread ;)

Kittens, and puppies.

Oh, and I like that show Lost.

:lol2:

Lost?? ??? WTF are you talking about?













Heeeeee ;)

OK, that whole part of the argument seems to have been settled...

Your sarcasm detector seems to be broken.

So you're basically saying that you don't like playing by the rules? That you're a "Board Criminal" of sorts? That you make posts yourself that are cause for reporting?

If so, why on earth would you bring those things to the direct attention of one of the Moderators?


I never said they were Nazi's. And if I did... then I have forgotten it. If I remember correctly(Which I hardly ever do) I said something about this place being run liek a Nazi concentration camp... meaning you guys are strict... I never meant that you guys are racists or anything.

I've coverd this in the relevant thread.

I'd disagree that any of the Moderators are particularly strict though. I mean personally, if i were to be *strict* in the case of yourself, I could have just banned you many posts ago, after the first inflammatory and disrespectful comment made in my direction.

Instead, I have been trying to explain your mis-steps (to both yourself and others) and perhaps also to educate you about a few things... namely that woman should be respected, that certain "slang" can be considered very offensive, and just because something doesn't offend you personally, it doesn't mean that it doesn't offend others, nor does it mean that the Site Rules allow it.



oh no... it's nice... especially if the girl has an apple bottom. But appropriate is another story... :P

And exactly what is appropriate about posting that sentence here? ::)


No I meant I got a PM from them complaining about what was there the first time.

Ah hell, I'll remove this one too. Maybe you'll like the next one better...


Maybe I will. So long as its not offending anyone, it doesn't matter if I like it, or not. :)


back to our happy place

AND the whole point of starting this thread ;)

What a wonderful idea. :)

THANK YOU Partyman.....I hope I didn't offend you by thanking you or using WTF ::) ;D

Anyway peoples, go to it. In fact, I think I hear it whispering........ :blink:

just a simple reminder:

if a MOD is engaged in wrangling a boar or correcting a poster who has erred somehow,
it is not a good idea to get involved. by taking either side you may incite futther arguments.
it is best to just stay back and watch the entertainment whole thing happen. just sayin' ;)

(no one here did anything wrong. just simple advice. and while it is tempting to jump in, cheer either side on etc.
it is not always the safest thing to do. i mean just look at what happened to Michael while he, Locke and Kate were
boar hunting. )
;D

The Partyman, your patience is astounding. i would NOT have lasted that long.
it would have been over about 4 posts ago. ;)

I know! I know!

It's a thread started by LTF about a non-fuselage chitty-chatter board that she felt might appeal to any chiity-chatters worried about Karri's concerns about chitty-chatter here on The Fuselage! :)

Do I get a prize?! :P

Yea, I just joined, but I haven't done the verification e-mail yet. Thanks for telling me about this, I do miss being Random! :D

did you ever get on grapeseed?? it can be difficult sometimes.... ;D

I've been spending a lot of time there lately, but there's no one else to play with. :'( Johnny came in and MissEmme came in, but they didn't stay long.

yeah, it's very sporadic over there :-\

I'm there! :) Come play!
