At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

When quoting someone, please edit out the parts of the text that are not replying to, or if you don't feel comfortable altering the content of the post, use the hide tags to condense the text you are replying to. To use hide tags, simply put an open hide tag at the begining of the text you want to quote and a closed hid tag at the end. It would look like this...

Code:
[hide] Atheists choose to go to hell, derp. [/hide]

The staff would staff very much appreciate you taking the time to do this, because when we have to deal with this issue we must make a report, edit the post, complete the report, and then archive it. If you have any questions, feel free to raise them here.

Thank you.

I just saw this. Is there no way for it to automatically snip like other forums do? Editing long posts is a pain when on a phone.

Just like you can't put an image inside an image, you can't have hidden content inside hidden content... But you can put a spoiler tag inside a hide tag, or vice-versa.

My favourite line was suggesting a cure for everything from a sore throat to backache. Always the same cure.

That, or "While you're down there..."

I've heard if you simulating shaking a salt shaker onto your tongue you get the sensation of salt on your taste buds.
