I'm looking for someone's foot to shoot

I don't really get the issue regarding the Games pushing the other entries down. Last time I checked, it was listed in it's own "Fun & Games" category. All the games are doing is pushing other games down the list. So the whole point of games cluttering up the forum seems pretty pointless to me.

As for the new member introductions or the "Congrats" posts. That was on the old board and, although I admit they are very boring to read, they never caused problems before.

On a side note, personally, I feel that BadCop says some funny ass shit. As EJH said, he/she is amusing. That's my opinion anyway.

Well, you're right to a point there Mr.Chopper, but the thing is that Fun & Games includes "fun" threads that do not get updated everyday, for example the lookalikes thread.

That's one example of a thread I started and had to do most of the work on to maintain (though thanks to all the others that have participated). Thing is, every time I (or anyone else) update it, it gets 'lost' within a few minutes when someone adds a new word to another of those threads. If we could see the top 5 threads like before, then it wouldn't matter, cos the lookalikes thread would only get pushed down to maybe 3rd or 4th place, but at least stay there for a while.

I still think it's valid for other categories too. I mean, imagine someone spends ages starting up a new thread in any category, and someone else updates one in the same category 5 seconds later. Not good, and very demotivational.

I agree with stu about how easy it is for threads to get lost now, which is why I also agreed with Fugue's idea to restore the forum structure to show the most recently updated 5 or 6 threads in each category.

Hmm... going back a couple of posts for a minute... is Cynn giving us all the foot equivalent of "the finger"? ("the toe"?)... lol

Call it a Stupid Foot Trick. Some people can wiggle their ears. I can make a rude gesture with my foot.

I have to agree with Badcop's harsh but accurate way with words... though quite why he had to start a separate thread about it is beyond me!

Whassamatta? My thread not good enough for you and your high-falutin ego?!?!?! Nooo, have to go start your own thread. Pfffffft!

...maybe it's just your way of expanding the forum content to look less dead. Hmmm?

Anyway, I especially agree that someone adding the word "clamp" to a game thread should not be front-page news. The solution is as Stu describes (and as also described in the other thread)

sorry fugue

I liked your thread too much to spoil it with my "harsh" words.

You don't deserve the stain of hatred that follows me wherever I go like a one-armed
Chinaman in a hall of mirrors.


And although the above simile has absolutely no meaning, let me assure you I mean it when I say - no disrespect.

Badcop, the sensitive flaming alt. Tonight, on a very special PSC.com.

Hurry, Cynn...

someone just posted an image of a seagull on your "picture battle" thread and you can finally put that Fabio portrait to good use.

Dog love ya Badcop!

I have to ask. Why does the fact that some people think Badcop is an "alias" make his points less valid?

Are the writings of Mark Twain meaningless becuase that wasn't his "real" name?

Pseudonyms have been used for thousands of years.

Incidentally, Scrolbar isn't my real name!

I think badcop rocks.
