we need to have a board that is only visible to old school/hardcore members. I think a good cut off point would be 295 posts. More than 295 posts, you're in.
or maybe there is already a board like this and I just don't have the cred to know about it.
-
I'm sure this would work out completely well.

Maybe... Maybe not.
What I wanna know is, what happened to the arcade? Did that go "VIP" only?

No.

Yeah! They are such menaces! If that jerk Jouster posts one more time, I'm gonna resign from this board! It will sad to lose Josh, Erika, Dorvid, Swiss Miss, etc, but it must be done!

exactly my point.

Hey, now. I had 285 posts when you started this thread, and am a proud member of AST.
I suppose I could just post ten more times and destroy this dystopian fontasy of yours, or you could merely D.I.D.A.N.
So I didn't like your stupid fish picture; I'm sorry. It doesn't mean I think you're a bad person or anything. Sheesh.
And uh, last time I checked anyway, Tom's an ASTer too, guys.
Wait a minute - you're on AST too, Andy! So this is all a big joke, yes? It must be.
Some of your jokes are weird, man.
-

I fail to see how your bad taste has anything to do with this thread.

I considered doing this a few times but I don't think it would be good for FOT health, in fact i think it would probably sound the death knell.
I'm not saying the older posters are neccesarily the good posters, but a lot of them are just because they are more knowledgable about the show and each other. If they are making those posts in their own private forum then it just makes the generally viewable forum less appealing to new members.
People come and go, as He Who Cannot Be Named pointed out in a roundabout way a few weeks ago, eventually we'd just peter out.
The arcade shall return, I was doing stuff to the forum last week when my house flooded and the internet was out until today. I refrained from posting about it in case you kids ran wild and had a party in here while I was gone.

good points. after I posted this I thought about it some more and it probably wouldn't be good for the board overall.
-
It should have also said that it was good that Andy had a suggestion, don't be shy about it.
-
I don't post that much but I want to get to know you folks better.
Don't make a private board!
PS : Lets hang out.
-
I hope I haven't pissed anyone off...if so sorry

don't worry, you'll get called up to "the majors". that's what we're going to call the FOT VIP room.
-
Sorry about the flood, Jason. That sucks.
-
yeah, no doubt about it. we have a basement that flooded a couple of times and that sucks bad enough. I can't image having your actual house flood.
let us know if you need anuything.
-
Damn newbies
-
Maybe you could all get "Members Only" jackets too.
Also perhaps you could figure out a way that only people that have been listening to the show since 2001 are the only people allowed to listen to it.
-
Well, that leaves me high and dry. Jason, too, ironically enough.
-
I was just joking by the way!
-
So was Andy, I do believe.
-
As a senior member, I'd like a board with coloured lights that flash in time to the music coming out of my stereo.
-
during the week of christmas, when you go to friendsoftom.com/forum, you should just get the yule log.
-
Yeah, I think this idea would pretty much suck. You could probably just about count the number of posts I've made here and on the old board combined on two hands, but that neither makes me a newbie or a menace. I've put in hundreds (maybe thousands...sheesh) of hours of Best Show listening and I like seeing the FOTs interact, even if I'm usually on the sidelines.
I second the colored lights. And also suggest that we include Minesweeper 2000 and make the board Pentium. It's time.

I like this idea! You should go and create this new board and take with you whomever wants to go along.
Leave this board for the sensible FOTs.
-
I like having new people come in. Why, Take Lost In Reno. When he first came on here, I didn't like him. we fought! (sort of...) but after a few weeks of getting used to each other (claps hands together) we're friends!
...I was tryin' to make a Jon Lovitz in The Three Amigos reference there.
-
I doubted Lost in Reno's sincerity at first, I'll admit. His posts are so free of the self-conscious irony that characterizes so many others that I found it hard to believe he was for real. I was wrong, and I take this opportunity to apologize for having asked him a while back whether he's Boris.
Sorry, LiR.
-
Thanks you guys I love it here I am on the board as much as I can be and it is a lot of fun so I hope I get to be one of the
VIP FOT's
-
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves now.
-
the first rule of FOT club is 'it's not FOTs club'
the second rule of FOT club is 'don't talk about FOT club'
the third rule of FOT club is 'no Lost In Reno'
-
that's a joke, btw
-
that's a joke, btw
don't worry i think thats funny I like being the black sheep. That just means that I am going to crash your party with a lame version of your VIP's with my own VIP club. but I will probably be the only member of my club.

I agree with Mr. Haircare (above). The forum doesn't show how many hours I've spent reading posts or listening to TBS.
What is the point of excluding people based on how many posts they've contributed? Are you truly going to discuss things that a "newbie" can't engage in? Would you even be talking about TBSOWFMU? I'm intrigued about what discussion topics this hypothetical board would have. Or perhaps you all want a forum to verbally assault and insult those of us who don't have the time to post 585 times...
Drop the exclusivity club. It's not attractive and it reminds me of high school.
-
Sorry to be serious for a moment here, but, good lord, people, can't you perceive a joke when it's beating you about the head?
God, this board is cranky these days. And apparently making me so.
Grumble, grumble.
-

nope. i'm kinda dense like that.
-
When I posted "Damn newbies", or some such, that was a joke, see, because, by any objective measure, I AM one. Get it?
Love to y'all.
-
Et tu, Bobo?
-
I'm offended by the inference that I can't take a joke. You guys are really pissing me off.
-
This thread has stepped on too many toes.
-
You're the worst of them all, JJ.
P.S. "Implication."
-
You guys know I was kidding right?
(jerks...)
-
I am waaaay too confused now.
-
You guys know I was kidding right?
(jerks...)
At least I am laughing
-
This is an outrage!
-
(jerks...)
Hey, what are you implying?
-
I don't know.
-
Thank god--you, too?
-
Everything everyone in this thread has said makes me so mad that I just threw up on myself.
Way to go, assholes.
-
You deserve it! >:(
-
This thread has stepped on too many toes.
only God can judge this thread.
-
That's okay, because I'm quietly judging God.
-
now I'm more confused than when I was listening to this website today and they said that these german scientists broke the speed of light. my ears started to bleed.

This is because I just signed up, isn't it?
