This Makes No Sense
« on: April 25, 2011, 06:49:58 PM »
I've been on I2 for over a year.  I have seen many a thread and in no way would I describe any of them as "normal".  Why do we have an indicator button for a "normal thread?"
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Nothing ever makes sense. :orly:
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

What are you talking about? Where is the normal indicator?

I wondered that too!  Click on "What's Your Crime? Basic Discussion" (or any forum title) and scroll to the bottom of the forum index page.
There are little octagonal symbols explained at the bottom.  A blue octagon, appearing next to a thread title, indicates a "normal topic,"
meaning one with an average response rate, I guess you'd call it.  Peachy orange indicates a "hot topic --- more than 15 replies,"
red a "very hot topic --- more than 25 replies."  It's just funny that the word "normal" is used anywhere here.    :screwy:

It looks different in Black Rain. They just look like white squares.

 That's because Black Rain just isn't as good as Default!  (Although it really makes my avatar pop!  :2thumbsup:  )

What is all this talk of normal? It is scaring me  :-[
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
