NEWFLASH: JAMES IS DEAD - NOW OFFICIAL AST RECRUITMENT THREAD

[Miss]

Here's the thing I don't get about the AST members* who post here: The fact that isn't you that some of us don't like about that board. It's the raging douchenozzles (who in all fairness seem ubiquitous in online forums) over there who probably bother you as well (they are the reason I only lurk there on occasion). I can't think of an AST member who I've had any issue with on this board, unless James'd came from there. So really, it isn't you. One love.

I appreciate you saying that, and you have valid points. All I can say is that.. I know I'm not on AST saying that FOT produces douche nozzles because of Cp. J, and James. And I know that none of the other AST members who post here are either. It's just kind of unecessary to always throw in the AST name when somebody rude comes along.

I've never been to AST, so I love everyone except "James".

I've been to AST but I've never been to me.

At the risk of fanning flames, this is what I wrote to Dorvid yesterday when he asked me about Jason's comment:  "I'm pretty sure I'm right in thinking that by 'astification' he means people being too prickly, taking things too seriously, and overreacting to posts that are not worth fussing about."  I'm sure we can come up with a less divisive term to describe this phenomenon.

Freezerburnification.

Becuase I hate freezer burn, I don't know. I mean why can't my freezer treat foods and goods with respect?

[John Junk]

Can we go back to making fun of James now?

And it's true, there are people who take things too seriously. And maybe this is one you guys will consider taking too seriously here. But after seeing it again and again, I couldn't not say anything about it when I know I am not the only one who thinks it's getting old. Yeah, go ahead and hate on James now. Sorry for distracting from that.

[Sarah]

I say "freezerburnification" it is.

Um...I was initially making what I call a joke. Not at anyone's expense, just at the expense of a website. A website. No reason for anyone to get their feelings hurt.


UPDATE: I have kept my original post intact, but have been informed that it was passive-aggressive. My sincerest apologies. I perhaps got a bit too touchy.

I honestly am not trying to step on any toes, at all. I just thought it should be at least known how a couple of us feel about it. It's not like my feelings are hurt or anything like that.

I ain't gonna be mad at a fellow cat-avatarist.

This is pretty accurate. I did mean that there's a general slide towards an AST-like state, not that AST posters were posting here. Like I've said before, the FOT is for everyone.

[Cori]

I honestly think my brain just exploded.  It's still the lamest thing ever, joke or no joke.

How about coming up with a term not involving "AST" (I like the freezer burn one...) to avoid making ASTers feel unwelcome on this board?

By insulting one of my favorite things in the world (AST) you're kinda insulting me. I can't help but take it a little personally. Just as there are many posters here who would take it personally if people started insulting the FOT board left and right.
