Don't you hate it when...
« on: April 24, 2011, 02:47:33 AM »
...you're reading an old thread and have no fucking clue if you posted in it; And then you have to skim the entire thread to ensure you didn't already reply to it?
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.

lol same here, and I usually think to myself, "Why did I write that?"

I get that all the time. I post reactively. I don't hate it though. It is like a present to me. I see someone quoting me and having a go at me and laugh, and then I react on whatever they say and laugh more, and move onto the next thread. It is simple but it works for 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.

If you can't remember whether you ever posted in a thread, go back to the index page for the forum it's in,
and look at the little octagonal icon to the left of the thread's title.  If it is shaped like a cartoon speech balloon,
with a little pointy thing coming out of one corner, that means you have at some point posted in that thread!   :nerd!:

^I have never noticed that.

Sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed when I find something I wrote ages ago. :paperbag:

That sneaky fucker... Thanks for point that out cbc.  :)

But sometimes even if you do know, you still kind of look to see whenever or not your attitude has changed over time too. It'd look stupid to say something ages ago, only to say the exact opposite of it when it's necro-bumped.

 But sometimes that is a good sign, it may mean you've become wiser over time.  If anyone points out the change in your stance,
 you can explain how and why your attitude has evolved, thus inspiring a fascinating new discussion!      Or just blame Semicolon.  :laugh:

Does it matter? They are all made for posting. True postwhores produce, regardless.
