Before GANG TAG, I felt bored and uninterested in my anodyne avatar, and felt social pressure to make good posts. But now thanks to GANG TAG, I can be confident that goons will pay more attention to pretty pictures instead of my terrible posts! Thanks Internet Explorer!

Take care with that! We have not fully ascertained its function, and the ticking is accelerating.
Having fallen a thousand posts behind in this thread and jumping to now just now, I seemed to have missed the whole hoopla about gang tags.

What is gang tags, precious?

The GANG TAG, once coveted, now an albatross around the neck. Its burden requiring posts to be both more numerous and of low quality.

We should all respect IE, it was here before us, and it'll be here long after us. IE is never going away.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Dude, you'll never believe this. There's still a webapp for the forums. I was just using somethingawful.app but apparently there is an actual website here.

Wait there’s a website? Every morning I get a plaintext fax of all the threads I bookmark, as well as a printout of all the new threads in the forum so I can ask to bookmark a new thread.

Always Be sCammin'

Scammin' is of course the mindset of doing the bare minimum and getting ahead. You're not actually scamming anyone, just playing the game.

Other instances of the scammin' mindset

Long shits at the office
"Quiet quitting" but still getting promoted
"Working" but actually you're just playing WoW or on a road trip.
Multiple jobs


Congrats! You're scammin'

:haibrower:

More importantly - if your job wont let you do this, for whatever reason, just quit! Hit da bricks! There's tons of other jobs out there that will 100% worship you while allowing you to gently caress around on the forums all day

And thank you for saving the day with not one but two different versions of the gang tag!

I traveled cross country this weekend to see a bunch of extended family I haven't seen in a decade. Having a good time. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their weekend.

I think the tags are cool and good.

Also, the Magic Trackpad rules. I don't use one, but that thing has a phenomenal array of gestures to do stuff.
