Ah. Is this the kind of post people refer to when they talk about you as some kind of troll? Is Thorn's or Nineseven's off-board activities really any of your business?

In fairness there was a thread about it on handbag, and one on here and both were a direct result of me dropping mention of the fact into a conversation because it was a Friday, I was bored and frankly I wanted the attention, which was very forthcoming and which I enjoyed.

I love Ralph. He's like Major Misunderstanding in Viz. Kovacs is referring to when Thorn went on a date with n1n3s373n and then she posted about what a rubbish cock he had and everything. It was incredibly rude if I recall. If I was Thorn, I'd have got someone to punch her in the face on her next date. Just to you know, show her how to treat people with a bit of fucking respect.

See, I didn't know that. My apologies to Kovacs.

I'm sorry. I was just exagerating. She was basically just really petty about Thorns general appearance in a way that was just distinctly nasty. It was like when you get ostracised at school for owning a Skid Row T-shirt. It didn't even need to get mentioned. Unless she lays diamond encrusted stools and has tits that lactate liquid gold I think she'd have been wise to just shut it really.

I thought it was 30 posts. As for having a picture under your name, you have to ask Darryn, who runs the site. But he might ask you to post for some time and/or contribute a donation.

No, it doesn't work any more. It only worked when the site was first set up. For instance, thorn no longer considers himself queen of the boards, but there's nothing that Darryn can do.

I've just been around some other boards, and just now TMO is as bad as The Mock Turtle, The Cuban Loungue and Handbag. And I think it's partly my fault.
Back in the day I would have been all over the top three threads on TMO right now, condemning them for threadrot and brainless chat. What went wrong. Maybe it was a "if you can't beat them" scenario.

I know, but look at the effort Black Mask made with a decent thread called The Pitch, and it was just too much work for (almost) anyone to take his challenge. The general energy level around the forum gets lazy. Nobody will bother spending any length of time on a post if the norm at the moment is quippy one-liners -- it'll just get lost.
Maybe it goes through cycles and you get lazy, throwaway days, then slower days with slightly more crafted contributions.

So this is more than your average board? Only I've never typed much more than two sentences per post in my internet career and, seldom have any of those two sentences been particularly considered.

Am I out of my depth here?
Definitely. We put hours of thought into our posts. A simple TMO benchmark is as follows:
If you post something which can be read without using the scroll wheel, then you know you're out of your league.
