So the Lounge is being consolidated huh?

[Renew Deal]

It's about time. All you jokesters will have to participate in the political forums. This will not be a refuge for the class clowns. We will be rid of: sex threads, copycat threads, yak threads, thong threads, ******Milestones******, gyro-sub-falafel threads, baseball threads and all the other useless crap you jokers post. Bravo Skinner

7. Dude I still got primaries wounds

God if people weren't so smug, I would go in there but people there are smug as hell.

[Renew Deal]

10. Unfortunately

We will be back to battlestations in a couple years. SUCKS. That was another reason why I wanted a Kerry victory.

[JohnKleeb]

12. Well, I wanted a Kerry victory for the obvious

better policies, etc, and of course yeah, all that smugness.

[sundog]

6. excellent!

8. I read a post from Skinner in GD asking about consolidating GD & GD-P.

but how do consolidate the Lounge? It already is , um, one. Does it turn into half a forum. Please explain, use diagrams and graphs. Marks will be given for neatness and politeness. The results will go on your permanent record.

11. Skinner wouldn't dare turn the Lounge loose on the rest of the boards.

Not that it wouldn't be fun to watch. :P

[pres2032]

14. that'd be fun!

mass copycat threads in GD!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

17. hah, I did that once

no regret!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

19. Could you imagine the chaos!

The havoc that we could inflict in a single afternoon would be priceless! :evilgrin:

[Renew Deal]

20. It would take 10 minutes.

People have a short fuse there. :nuke:

[pres2032]

21. which would make it all the better!

[Renew Deal]

18. We have let loose on GD a few times.

Man that was fun.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

22. Figures, I missed it!

Next time I want in, I still owe GD one from before the elections. :evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

23. I owe GD two, one from pre election and one from post election

[Lone_Star_Dem]

29. I think this deserves an organized attack...

All we need is a leader and a plan. :7

[Renew Deal]

30. I have had fun before

Unfortunately, I have to play it straight for a while. Have fun.

[pres2032]

32. count me in!

[Lone_Star_Dem]

37. We need to infiltrate and make them trust us first.

Then we attack from within! BWAAAAHAAA

[JohnKleeb]

35. I can coordinate I guess

After all I am quite good at copycatting.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

38. That you are....

We'll meet up at 0800 hours and begin the attack. }(

[JohnKleeb]

39. but we need to coordinate this

we cant go in with only you and I, we need a company.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

42. You're in charge of recruitment

I suck as a motivator! Do you think they'd get wise if we posted a sign up thread? :P

[JohnKleeb]

43. I am not the recruiting officer

:)

[pres2032]

50. ok, just tell me when!

[Renew Deal]

24. Freeperween was a classic.

Halloween 2003. We posted freeper type posts in GD. I laughed for hours that night.

[JohnKleeb]

28. haha, I remember that halloween but I was out that night

I got picked on big time during the day tho.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

31. I'm going to have to hit the archives for that

All the fun stuff happened before I got here. :(

[Renew Deal]

40. Start here

47. haha, that's awsome!

did you guys drive Wonk out of DU? you sure pissed him/her off.

[Renew Deal]

48. No but,

it's not the first time he was less than pleased with me.

[Cadence]

13. Bleachers..... you're at it again....

hey- what happened to all of the "Newbies! kick as many threads as you can as fast as you can!" Posts!

Give up in exchange for messing with the oldtimers?

:evilgrin:

[Renew Deal]

15. lol

That was a fun one. I wonder how many got a short term lockout.

[Sporadicus]

16. If We Were Forced to Post in the GD Forums...

it would be the GD denizens who would suffer most :evilgrin:

[davsand]

25. Aw, suck it up, you Lounge lizards!

You'd think politics scared you "ladies" the way you're carrying on!

I think DU would be vastly improved if you were forced to go on extended posting marathons in GD and LBN on a regular basis. Let's get you in SHAPE for the next election!

Fall in for some calasthenics now--sound off:

I dunno but I been told,
GD weenies got no soul.

Sound off:

1,2

1,2,3, 4...

45. I conscientiously OBJECT!

Can I do that, ma'am?

[Undercover Owl]

26. I have a question:

Where is the line drawn on "sex thread"? Can you talk about sex acts in a polite or vague way? Is it okay to post about bad sex, or not? How about humorous stories about things people said or did in bed?

What constitutes a "sex thread"?

[Renew Deal]

27. There is a post that say's the funs over.

Start there.

[achtung_circus]

33. Is this clear?

"We really tried to cut you all some slack, and permit occasional, low-key discussion of topics of a sexual nature, provided that you don't go too far.

It's clear that this has become some kind of game for some of you: See how far you can push the envelope before you get your threads shut down.

Well, you've pushed the envelope too far. You're thumbing your nose at the moderators, and wasting their time. Game over.

Here's the new rule: No sex threads, period.

I am instructing the moderators to delete all sex threads. Not lock, delete. Anyone who feels like testing our willingness to enforce this policy will have to accept the consequences of their actions.

I'm sorry if you're disappointed by this turn of events. Blame the small number of people who can't control themselves and have spoiled it for everyone else."

Nothing goes currently

[cags]

34. But what about the cat threads. You can't take the cat threads!!!!!!!!!

[ogradda]

36. huh? what?
