Quite a racket.
Comments on commentary-

AJeh- Whoa! The fabled AJeh is not extinct as scientists have feared!

Thank bloody god.

Tor~pedo- HALLELEIGHAADUPOIUASDF is close enough. =o

Ramkat- Politics are very silly. Such silliness is only matched by the silly outfits they wear.

I mean, really. Quite silly.

Neil- Amen.

All for one.

Theme song of this post: Dream Island Obsessional Park from Paranoia Agent.

What happens when good intentions are marred by idiocy? OtakuBoard's latest blow up, that's what. First thing through my mind was "who the hell are all these kids", lol. If they are 'oldies' Dragon Warrior, James, Desbreko and a few other people in that thread should be in a Nursing Home for aged Forumgoers. DW sliding into dementia, James and Des playing chess and myself just waving my cane at people grumbling sentences that cannot be deciphered. Once I understood who they were more or less (AC!D!C! is Slipheed, for instance- someone should tell him that all of his usernames have been progressively worsening until it culminated into the rubbish heap he has now) I was tasked with something that no person should have to face- a wall of dumb. Not only dumbness or dumb people just pure stupidity, unfathomable (<-- PROPS TO DONNA FOR MAKING ME REALIZE I HAVE SPELT THIS WORD WRONG FOR YEARS) blindness and misfired arguements put into concise linguistic form. Yatta~

Firstly, there's nothing great about being an oldbie. That's not something to be debated. You've been on a this particular forum for a long time and.. what? That's it. That's all there is to it. Sure, you've contributed alot. DW, James, Des and numerous other longtime members have done tons to make a name for themselves. DW brings the funny, Des and James work their asses off just to deal with these little 'tards periodically. You can say what you want to but I will not automatically respect you more just because you signed up in 2003 instead of 2006. If you're a dumbfuck, you're a dumbfuck. Old, young, wizened or retarded you're still just a little dumbfuck. It should take alot more to be respected than just lingering on in a forum for a lengthy period of time.

Secondly age on OtakuBoards these days is irrelevant. I often find myself debating with fourteen year olds- I mean, what the hell? When did that happen? I don't mind particularly it's just surreal at times. But, that's just the type of crowd OB has been crafted into attracting. Little psuedo-Aristotles or psuedo-Hobbes, that's just what the Administration has crafted the board to get. Aaryana and whatever other younger folks who can outspeak the older crowd shouldn't get any hate for their age- they're mature, smart. They're on equal footing with the rest of us and I guess you just have to deal with it.

Neither does physical age or time on the board in any way mean that you should be a moderator. That should be obvious. Very obvious. Clearly obvious. Plainly and totally obvious. But, apparently, it wasn't. Choose who is best for the job. I hope they do that. I think they do. That's logical, isn't it? Simple and to the point. Just keep doing that. Duh. Knock knock, anybody home? Uh oh, this cranium appears vacant.

And you know, about MAMA. Why? I mean, seriously. Why? Just.. why. I mean, am I missing something? Is there some part of it's existence that I can't see? Is there some hidden gem of logic within it's formation that, once I find it, I'll go "Ahhh, it all makes sense now!! There's what I was missing. Thank god I figured it out! That solves this case. Time for a Dr. Pepper! Mmmmmm, that sure is tasty =D~" or is it as bloody stupid as I think it is? Sure, you had great intentions. You want to improve.. the forum apparently. To what? The days of yore? Your nostalgia is blinding your sense. Your goals, your actions won't improve it by regressing it to a state that has already come to pass. Progress is not a reversal, progress is summing up what you have found failed in your previous actions and taking action with these problems in mind. Secret clubs aren't a great first step to that. You can claim all you want that the above was what you were planning to do but I would bet you lacked the clarity and unblinded vision to do anything remotely positive to affect the community at large just from your refusal to give up your nostalgic daydreams of past glory.

And Delta, I mean.. I doubt you'll ever even see this! Someone should really show it to him/her/it but, yeah. MAMA is a pretty fucking bad acronym. I'm not sure how it can be defended- I mean just look at it. MAMA. You can feel it festering in your head- 'Who made this acronym? What do they stand for? Why MAMA? Is their mother involved? What the fuck is MAMA?!?!' and it festers and grows and infests until you finally have a fucking aneurism a week from now. Discussion over.

Anyway in theory all is well that ends well. At the end of the day there was one secret club left ruined, several friendships destroyed, James trampling on all with his debating forte and OB remaining mostly intact yet still on the fast track to the oft-prophesied Apocalypse that has been forthcoming for years.

It was a good day for all it seems.

Painted lips seduce me towards a fall.

SEE YOU LATER GUYS.

P.S. Dear Delta,

Hi. I'm DeathKnight. Here, as you requested, is a list of several better acronyms that are totally boss:

Society for Progress And Maturity (SPAM); Doomsayers Against Further Terror (DAFT); Citizens for Rapid Action and Planning (CRAP) and People For Further Togetherness (PFFT).

Thank you for your time,
DeathKnight.

P.P.S. North Korea! Long time no see. I've missed you so.

P.P.P.S. Go Mav-.. FUCKED.
