The Big Purple ?
 Yeah, they got no sense of humor.
...unless a mod makes the joke - then its all hunky-dory.

So, light-hearted sarcasm is only okay over there if you have 2,000 plus posts or are part on the "in-group-clique" ?  Oh well . This forum and the Orange and Friendly should be enough.

Every now and then someone suggests in all seriousness that RPGnet should have a special "adult" forum. The mods haven't exactly been keen on the idea.

Eh, I manage to post a fair bit there and not get banned, if you avoid being rude it's fairly easy to get by there.

If you post a sarcastic message to a forum with over 35,000 users and you don't include a smiley, you have to assume that some of them (including a mod or three) are going to miss the humor.

If that topic is about something that comes up fairly often and gets shot down fairly often, the humor sensors shut down. It may not be so much "no sense of humor" as it is "I've seen that joke 1,000 times, so it's no longer funny to me, especially since you might actually be serious."

Didn't seem like a big deal to me.

As to not getting banned; if I can do it, so can you.

"A mod did not laugh at my joke in TT, RPG.net sucks."

I was the one who came up with the idea of a Toys/Collectibles forum for the Purple Palace.  I argued for it quite a bit.  I often saw cool lego threads and other toy threads which quickly got moved to Tangency and were scolled to oblivion as quickly as the clique could post about kittens and pie.  I strongly felt the topic should be liberated from Tangency, because that section is suffocating to everything but clique topics.  

Ideally, I had requested it's own forum section.  Instead, it became a usergroup, which was a victory of sorts.  However, being a mere usergroup doomed it to obscurity on the site.  No one really knew it was there.  

Thierry shows some keen understanding regarding the real activity on the site by posting:

Quote from: ThierryWhy change anything? Simply hijack Toys and Collectibles and put all your new political discussion in it.

That's practically a motto for the Purple Palace.  

More constructively, there's the comment of:

Quote from: ThierryHow about the other way round? Each time you're tempted to enter a heated political thread, try to think of Toys and Collectibles instead. Preferably plushy.

That was really more my inclination.  I tried to contribute something positive.  A few people joined in.  But, it apparrently wasn't an idea the Purple Palace wanted.

They'd rather have a forum about sex toys and/or politics.

Gabriel,
 You actually had a good idea.

 Thats not what I was referring to .
 I was joking that if someone thought of "Adult toys" - then that was more likely to distract their mind than just thinking about "toys".

 I don't care what sections they have on there. Its strange organization on there  to start with.

This is does smack of cross-forum poop-flinging, yeah. Technical problem reports are one thing - a sort of "Yeah, it's down for me too". Since TT got opened to unregistered guests again, anyone interested can read it for themselves. "The mods don't love me" ain't no thang. No they don't, but they don't ban you if you can keep your shit together.

Red doesn't always mean "warning", though warnings are given in red. Red just means "this text right here is current board policy, discussion will be seen as backtalk".

Yeah. This one is a lot of yelling over nothing I think.  

Sorry, Koltar (or should I call you Kol-toad for the Noxious tone? ) but I think this one is baseless scaremongering for brownie points.  

It's not even Entertaining!....

I'm not quite sure what your agenda is Koltar so why not lay it all out for and we can know exactly where you're coming from.

Why do we have to have an RPGnet thread on this board every fucking day? Seriously? Who gives a fuck what they do over there? If we all cared about what they do we'd GO THERE.

I thought you of all people would realize that theRPGsite is just the shit growing off the bottom of the RPG.net fungus.

It didn't start that way. In the old days this place was... well shit... it was a reaction to EN World.
