No, but it did maintain a level of quality and focus. This is progressively going down the drain.
Come on, the very idea of the board itself is a lesson in hilarity. My posts have brought life to some otherwise very dead threads.
The board has always been like that, that small. And it worked. That's the general truth of any small communities. Plus SFJN is best symbolized as being more of a lounge than some filthy downtown honky-tonk.
I've been entertained and a few others have admitted to the same which is the idea of any board really.
Ah? Didn't see much support towards your interventions, to be honest. Even I grew tired of it.
So sticking your nose in the air and calling yourself above me because of your chosen style of conduct does not in fact make it so. I have had fun and will continue to do so until I can't do it anymore.
I'm merely pointing out that you already started collecting warnings because of your behaviour, and I'm trying to explain why this happens.
Perhaps your style is not suited for this place. Perhaps your lack of interest for the main topics of this place (which are treated fairly seriously, no matter how ridiculous this might sound) also explains the apparent clash.
It's not a problem of humour -aside from the fact that you're not always funny- but one of relevance. There are plenty of other boards, with larger communities, where you'll be able to have such fun on varied topics. Why constrain yourself to our very small community?
You can cry about it all you want. People respond to me. They may not particularly like me but the beauty of it is that if you don't want to pay attention to what I have to say, you don't have to. It's that simple. But as long as one person is enjoying conversation with me and my 'antics', what does it hurt?
If your continuous style is to both pop into threads and open others to post nonsense, it is possible that past a certain quantity, it would clearly pull this website away from what JMS intended to build.
Now, let's not be silly here. We're not anti-humour. It's just that we're not used to overdone slapstick jokes, that's all. So, yes, I can ignore you, but I say that if you pop into clean and focused threads and do your "things", I may have no other choice than reporting you, unfortunately.
If you don't like that, you can also ignore me. Ultimately, we'll see if mods care enough or not.
Are you trying for some kind of spiritual enlightenment here? Why all the strict rules of conduct anyway?
To avoid shit. Isn't it clear enough?
Fun is not allowed?
This place is about
a certain kind of fun. Just like some pro e-players get a lot of fun in competitions which other gamers wouldn't even
think calling fun.
Not all "funs" are fun to everyone, if I may say. :)
You're gonna debate nonsense until you're all blue in the face? C'mon, loosen up. Debating this stuff is as much a 'waste of time' as having a little fun reading my nonsense.
As long as it's constrained to threads which I can avoid and doesn't derail those which were clean and informative, I think it might work. But I'm afraid you may get bored pretty quickly. I reckon that this place could be boring to many people anyway. This hasn't prevented new debaters from coming and old timers from staying. To each his own, I guess. Nah?
