All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
I "love" the stupidity that goes on over there. Thank God for the Zone. I have to say, I disagree with the opinions of one or two of the mods and admins here, but I like them and love their professionalism as I have never been treated here with anything other than respect, tact, and class. This is why the Zone is my favorite dysfunctional family.
I know. I was enjoying the drama at first but then I thought to myself what the **** am I doing.
Yeah, that's how it happens to the rest of us. We stop to try and figure out what the big deal is.
You follow things on a message board, some pattern of crazy exchanges start to happen within a small group, and you get sucked in at first. If you got the right elements, it's almost impossible to not be aware that something's up. More and more people investigate the discord and chime in, and before you know it, it goes viral. Then it just turns annoying pretty quickly, yet still draws your attention because that topic starts to dominate conversion quite a bit. Then you feel almost compelled to comment when it escalates. Then it seems like you want to be involved in it somehow, when that's not the case. The contention spreads. Sides are taken...
One single person could never cause this to happen on his own.
When I dropped by their chatbox this afternoon Michael was asking Microscope to fix his log in and Microscope said he would fix him up.
Yeh I saw Michael in there also and I made a pretty strong statement about how much I appreciated him ruining the website I love. Something along the lines of wanting to go wagoncircler on him...
In locker room style smack talk? Yes, they do. And worse.
You're naive if you think otherwise.
And that's the real point. Coastal engages people in exactly this kind of smack talk, then cries like a ***** when people give it back.
That's the beginning and end of the story.
No they really don't. As I explained to Rockstar earlier if you're allowing another person on an internet message board to get you so riled up your threatening rape, physical harm, or killing them then you have far deeper issues then somebody picking on you.
COMING SOON...

Beautiful. Brief enough to eradicate all the relevant things I had to say without enough content to dispute.
Without talking about Lit anymore, how often do you think that when somebody says "I'll kill you" on a PUBLIC forum, they actually follow through? Hell, even privately. Put a number on it. If I REALLY felt threatened by somebody threatening me on the Internet, I'd document that. First thing I would do.
Well of course you'd document that, but that wasn't your point. Your point was people say stupid things in the heat of the moment and while I agree that does happen people almost never threaten to rape or kill somebody else. If you're doing that then you need to seek help immediately.

Just to clarify, I never disagreed with that. My point of contention was that it is hardly far fetched to assume most people HAVE been riled up by someone on a website over religion, politics, sports, etc. I don't know how many times I can say the rape thing was ridiculous and wrong.
With so much drama in the L-B-C
It's kinda hard bein Snoop D-O-double-G
But I, somehow, some way
Keep comin up with funky ass **** like every single day

I never said you did disagree with it, my point was simply that if you're letting a message board get you that riled up you have far greater things to be concerned about then the message board itself.
