Title: Catch me up
Post by: Mandark on March 05, 2015, 07:48:29 PM: I was skimming through the old pages of the Ferguson thread thinking I'd catch up on it cause that's the last one I remember having a discussion in...

(http://media.giphy.com/media/11gC4odpiRKuha/giphy.gif)

Nope. How about instead I just be lazy and people summarize recent Bore happenings? I see a 24 page gamergate thread in the HoF, Triumph bitching about some new posters in the icon forum (same old, same old), and a soccer thread that seems pretty active even post-WC. Was there drama? Were L's taken? Were any major Bore characters race- or gender-swapped? What was the whitest sitcom of all time?

I hadn't even thought of that. Nobody did the full Polanski defense for him, right? Also, how does this affect cosby.jpg?

edit: I don't see the Cosby emote, but I do see the Rock and Redd Foxx and Goldust. edit2: not Goldust but his son?

One of these things is true. :omg

It wasn't. Literally everyone agreed on this. Everyone.

And Glen asked me to invite GAF poster Metaphoreus because of his brilliant legal analysis.
Title: Re: Catch me up
Post by: benjipwns on March 05, 2015, 08:55:04 PM: There's this reddit thing that hates The Bore and loves GAF. They love it so much they plaster images of the posters in their banner, link constantly to it and talk about it all the time, and make videos of Devolution's talking about dicks on a podcast and so on.

All without any Final Fantasy rankings or anime talk.

Even worse, no Coli emoticons.

Oscar won't be coming back this time, at least from what he tells me.

We should make a Star Trek focused Bore spinoff. He'd post for sure.

Edit- Hell if it was just the peeps on that convo that'd be a damn fine forum all on its own. (Just not very active, lawl.)

Title: Re: Catch me up
Post by: benjipwns on March 06, 2015, 02:45:07 AM: I think his NBA thread work has really suffered, like he's just going through the motions, doesn't have his heart in it. Since the Walrus change really. But he's been branching out around the forum and in topics in general a bit more so maybe he can't give it his all there.

I feel his GAF thread work is decent, he's moved on from duckroll endlessly, he's had some good hateons for Meta, but I feel he could really punch up his insults of me and my posts. And he was way too cordial with that legitimacy of the state thread. I offered up so many softballs in there too.

Overall, I'll give him a B, and would like to see some improvements in the next quarter or we'll have to start looking at potential up and comers in case he pulls a Kobe.
Title: Re: Catch me up
Post by: Human Snorenado on March 06, 2015, 02:53:55 AM: It's true- the effective end of Kobe's career and resurgence of the Cavs since the Mozghov (sp?) trade has really thrown his NBA flame game out of order.

I don't read the GAF thread so I can't speak to that.

I can live with that. I was backing Friends, and by association any sitcom that got the hammock slot on NBC's 90's Thursday lineup (Caroline in the City, Veronica's Closet, etc.). Blossom might not have been as long lived or popular, but maybe that's just because its cacness was burning at both ends.

Also, I'm six pages into the Gamergate thread. I'm skipping 20-30% of the posts (which are huge wall-of-text quotes or pictures) and it still feels like I've slogged through 50 pages and GG still makes no sense and wtf.

Esch and Drinky tag team Martin Raperman for a long overdue meltdown (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=42531.msg1962046#msg1962046).

Finally, Jay Dubya continues to posture at having reasonable positions for as long as he can ignore any questions of epistemology. (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=42334.msg1955302#msg1955302) But that's old news.
