Those heady days of weird and bad chili, and recipes written like they were advertising the first edition Warmachine rulebook

Imagine being the kind of person that needs to put a joking "offending foodies" meter on your comic about making a mediocre chili recipe

Wasn’t there a bunch of cookbooks written like that on Kickstarter around then? I remember some possibly horribly racist “gangsta kitchen” one or something

edit: also for the love of god why is QCS still locked, admins please release us from this misery, how am I to see the awful chili recipe pic that makes me mad if the FYAD poo poo is happening here and distracting from this

QCS should stay locked until it can be opened as a place for people to post questions, comments, and suggestions and get a straight answer, instead of yet another place where a handful of posters rush to poo poo on the OP because everything has to be a competition over who can care the least and how quickly and loudly they can tell everyone about it.

I just want it to be elsewhere, in a place that doesn't provide enjoyable content that may be disrupted.

I dunno, I think I'm just a bit soured on the place since the only time I've ever really needed QCS and wasn't just participating in stupid drama was because someone had changed my avatar to something really gross and transphobic, and I wanted to ask what could be done and sadly basically nothing could be done apart from a free avatar change from a mod since the code making up this hallowed website is the forums equivalent of a rat king, a squalid mess of verminous 1s and 0s tied together at the tail, and therefore no one can find who exactly did do the transphobic thing.

Is it possible to open QCS and just have one containment thread, with any others that crop up getting locked and all contributors probated for like a month? I'm sure it will generate a ton of reports nobody wants to deal with, but having that happen across multiple subforums can't be much better.

That recipe was posted in 2011, he was like 6 years late on the “imitating Maddox” train. That was a very mid-2000’s thing.

I think if you aren’t an FYAD poster, and therefore don’t know who does and does not post there, then it is fair to assume that the motley crew of weirdoes who come out of the woodwork to pester anyone who criticizes FYAD lately is made up of people who actually post there. Apparently the truth is stranger than fiction, and the truth is that some folks are really committed to defending the honor of a subforum they do not post in and whose inhabitants, it seems, don’t like them very much.

Here's a little forums lifehack on how to spot a FYAD poster. Check their profile - negative post count means FYAD. I still don't know why it's the case, but it is. It's kind of interesting that a feature like that could be successfully implemented at some point for one specific subforum, considering the state of the forum's code elsewhere.

Posting in FYAD has always decremented your post count instead of incrementing it. BYOB doesn't affect it at all. I think nobody ever bothered to change it so it's still that way. There was a time when post counts actually mattered and people took a massively negative post count as a point of pride.

I think the whole thing started as internet forums were still popular and people cared a great deal about post counts. It was always stupid but having a place that erased your post count was a funny thing. Then, predictably, it quit being funny when people rammed it into the ground.

Forums Cancer also set your post count to zero. I think that’s the last time they added anything that did anything weird with post counts.

Almost every functional forums feature is something that was implemented over a decade ago, back when this forum was still being worked on and its software was not very, very obsolete.

I still remember when Chooch implemented quote links and I was blown away by the new innovation. There was a sense that maybe the forums were finally starting to lurch into the 21st century. That was, what, 5 or 6 years ago?

nah, Chooch just got busy and/or Lowtax couldn't afford to pay them. ZDR ghosted us and lowtax, then came back and lowtax let him post a begging thread last christmas. ZDR promised custom plat icons for donators, but I never got mine. Then he ghosted again. There've been accusations about ZDR and drugs, but I've never seen anything solid.
