i thought it was pretty...karmic? how that doxxing a few months ago stopped when someone (presumably a goon) doxxed the lead doxxer back and emailed horrific stuff to his mom's workplace and got her fired, and the guy immediately took down the website saying it got "too real"

like, there's no winners here (and i feel sick imagining the kind of person who has child pornography, it supposedly was, sitting around to email to people to blackmail them) but it's like watching two douchebags racing each other on the freeway crash into each other and wreck both their cars.

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
i wouldn't have gotten what you were trying to put down, but the batman comic saved it. it all made sense once the guy fell in the tank.

thanks.

good. i'm aware that many goons are incapable of relating to things without it being put in context by a comic book character, so you're who i'm doing it for. happy to help.

what's the point of the sticky? instead of that stuff he should sticky his comment on the xenforo update.

dude, you gotta end it on the rhyme

hm seems like you could start the migration testing on the 2.0 beta/developer preview or sign a contract

lol just jumped over to the xenforo 2.0 forum and lol it's going to be 2018 before it is reasonably stable which works well if you want an excuse to not spend money on your dead gay forum

honestly that's preferable to a thread ballooning to 50 pages overnightof goons venting about mods bad jokes the good ol days of ??? and posters who aren't funny while lowtax is clueless to it all


I dont think any one makes mango steen jokes anymore though, only lowtax beats off that dead horse.
