How not to post on Friends of Tom

[Forrest]

What the hell WAS that?

[Jason]

Was it Best Show related?

[Andy]

zing!
I fear the wrath that we come at me for perpetuating this thread, but my interest in what happened is overpowering that fear.  what happened?

[Forrest]

Well, it WAS the Best Show thread I was referring to, yes. A lot of drama.

Read the rest of pinkhamsters posts and you can easily get the backstory on him and/or his beef with others on the board.

But better yet, why not bring the fight over here to the FOT board? Especially since you know the majority of the people in that thread also post here??

 

[cron]

is whatever happened the reason its down right now?

[erika]

no.

it was just a stupid argument with a poster from AST who is involved with other similar arguments on other topics. So it's not exclusive to any discussion regarding the best show.

I don't think it's worth bringing all the nonsense over to this board. I really don't.

I don't think it's worth bringing all the nonsense over to this board. I really don't.

I totally want to bring it over here. 

[Andy]

woaw, things must have gotten shitty, because that thread is all deleted/modified up.  It doesn't even make sense.

[buffcoat]

Probably they're terrified of the wrath of the FOTs.  We scared Cher so much she won't even do any more movies.

[Andy]

edit: god damn that picture was big and I'm too lazy to resize it.

[Jason]

Link 2 thread plz. TIA.

[erika]

edit: i changed my mind and i don't want to be responsible for this.

[Jason]

Well, I'm glad that sort of drama never happens here although I'm at a bit of a loss as to what it was all about. I take pride in not over-moderating this board, but that thread has made me realize that its probably because I don't have to because you are all such a nice well behaved bunch.
I have also been guilty of putting down AST posters who also post here, but really, I can see we got the cream of the crop.
For a comedy website AST is a whole lot of not funny.

1) I'm about to give up my fight on the "FOT"/"FOT's" thing.
2) Not to start a board fight, but I've noticed that there are basically 2 categories that pretty much all forums fall into: the one's where the users are laid back and one's where the users are not.

When the  members are laid back (FOTF), you get sporadic posting, but everything is pretty much quality.  When the members are not, you get people being hyper-critical, overly sensitive, and post padding shit (happy birthday threads, responses that consist purely of snarky comments or "lol" or some stupid emoticon)

Personally, I find the latter harder to read because you have to wade through the shit to get to the info (and there are just so many damn posts).  I'm not ready to lump AST into that category because there seem to be a lot of cool people and I've personally gotten a lot of good info from over there, but holy shit some of those guys need to lighten up.

Also, this thread should probably be deleted before it comes up over there for the sake of this board.
