especially @Marcuse for making this thread


Go thumb Sunglasses, she did it. Usually making a thread is as easy as pressing "new thread" on the forum list and then it's the same as creating a post. If you ever need help, feel free to drop me a PM about it.

According to some I would be considering I use AdBlock. It is an understandable position. I do check in daily but I click on things a lot less now.

I'm not actively boycotting it but I never go there anymore. It's just boring now.

In essence, yes. I haven't been on there since the Purge. I hadn't been on there recently anyway due to declining quality, but I can't bring myself to go there or do anything that would support them any further.

I know that also negatively affects the lower-level people/writers who had nothing to do with the decision, but I just have such a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing.

5. I like things that are familiar, I find them soothing.
4. Elaboration is for those too lack-witted to FIGURE THINGS OUT FOR THEMSELVES!
3. Less is more.
2. So he's ... a communist? (It's either or these days Im', didn't you get the memo?)
1. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, bliss :D

I should note that for some articles I use my phone which not only doesn't have adblock but is also old so I have to reload a few times. :)

As for ericho, the comments are pointless... but, I think that about most all comments. The elaboration thing is probably second for me. If someones words can mean so many different things then they end up meaning nothing. I suppose I could support the Zen-ness, if that was the point but I don't think it is.
