The meetups thread often lies dead for months, and meetups via it rarely occur. Might as well make a new thread for those times when you're going somewhere and want to see if anyone lives round there (and, heh, wants to actually meet with you IRL).

You... don't remember the user locator? All those pins on the map sayin where peeps are? It was there for like, 4 years.... Died around the time Dalnet died (i think dalnet extended past it a while)

Quote:None of this is a big deal anyway

What really matters is that people like EP are gone for good

Whoever that is, I'll probably be sad that they're gone. So many of the greats are.

It's a bigger deal than 90% of what's going on today on the forum A good site needs good infrastructure. It's why I don't use 4chan (my eyes!!?!1!!)

I'm glad you don't know who it is. I abbreviated his name for a reason. He's a cuntbag and very much my inferior

Oh yeah I know the user locator. I had no idea it was gone. Thanks for the context. I'm a bastard but I love it. That isn't relevant to the rest of this post.

EP was not a great ... except in his own mind.

Bahahahahha yeah.

The overwhelming majority of posts treat the theme appropriately: Saying something here you might not, or can't, say IRL.

If you don't like it, perhaps you should avoid opening it? If you're going to judge it by three posts, can you meet that same standard?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Not three posts, three instances, separate sets. Still, point made well enough regardless of pedantry.

I wouldn't have people shut it down on my behalf, I'm into 'let it die on its merits' and all that.

Used it as an example of what threads shouldn't be a sticky. I certainly don't intend to be coming back here to this thread in future

I would argue that they are on the internet and therefore have ample opportunity to write whatever tripe they want (kill the jews, I eat shit, children are hella sexy), and they can make their own threads on various topics if it's interesting enough to say in the first place (which, of course, up to the speaker).

I detest what is capable of happening under this thread... but that's my evidentally unpopular opinion on the matter. I suppose the crass difference is here I'm judging it exactly like I would judge it IRL, therefore I'm not conforming to the thread's stated MO.

Somehow, that doesn't bother me, though

That makes most of us. EP had best mind.

That a penguin by chance?

What's wrong with drama anyhow. Life isn't exciting a fucking 'nough.

As long as the AF rules aren't broken and no one suffers excessively. Meh. Go for it, live the dream, express yourself, grab life by the tits.

It's kind of fascinating that I've grown to be so unabashedly puritan in my views of sexual degeneracy in general.

Might be because it means something now. I'd love to know why I've become like this, but I've no interest in bringing myself into the conditions that make me question precisely what about it I've found myself detesting. Strange, this life.

If ya don't hang around you're not going to get the jokes. And I'm not splainin.

Which is exactly why I wrote that I don't think it should be stickied.

I suppose anyone could put any of that stuff in any thread they decided. I suppose that's why this thread was given this particular subject ... to let people know that this is a venting thread.

Glad you don't need it yourself. Begrudging those who use it to vent seems to be an easy way to superiority, to me.

How'd you guess?

I been whining about its removal for THREE YEARS! (four? time flies when you're old as fuck).

I'm older than you, kid
