my favorite posters are the ones who contribute something to the forum. they make us laugh, or draw for us, or sing for us, or make threads about their interests, or run contests, or are welcoming to newbies

if you've tried lately, well, you're on the list

I found the yob very welcoming. Good place. Cool peeps

speaking of common sense, why is the title still not "byob: hi"?

I, for one, am happiest when there's no drama, schism, or in-fighting on the yob.

Thanks to Manifisto for the sig!

ok guys for a while we did better at this and now it's happening again

when someone takes the time to make a funny thread and the first 5 posts are hysterical and then people just start posting garbage or starting slap fights you're pooping all over someone's hard work and it makes me sad and frankly if it's before 7am it's going to make me cranky too.

let's try again. when you read a title, don't immediately think "oh i have words to type about this" instead read the first post, think "what is this person trying to do here" and THEN if you have something that contributes to the thread, type words

Thank you for the beautiful sig Machai!

Here then is the origin and rise of government; namely, a mode rendered necessary by the inability of moral virtue to govern the world; here too is the design and end of government, viz. freedom and security. And however our eyes may be dazzled with snow, or our ears deceived by sound; however prejudice may warp our wills, or interest darken our understanding, the simple voice of nature and of reason will say, it is right.

if you post in a thread you have to vote on that thread. it's a new rule.

# ? Jan 25, 2016 18:07

pig slut lisa: irl is good

Q: does this rule apply retroactively?

A: yeah

# ? Jan 25, 2016 18:08

pig slut lisa: irl is good

Q: isn't this new "rule" just common sense

A: please read the thread title

# ? Jan 25, 2016 18:12

pig slut lisa: irl is good

Q: why don't more people vote things 2 or 4.

A: it's a mystery. one theory holds that posters are worried about "using up" keyboard keys and save 2 and 4 for posts involving the funny number. another theory derives from the old maxim "odd votes for an odd forum".

# ? Jan 25, 2016 18:15

pig slut lisa: irl is good

Q: will the mods be posting the votes in each thread?

A: maybe, if you ask nicely and it's funny

# ? Jan 25, 2016 18:16

pig slut lisa: irl is good

Q: do i have to vote every time i post, or just the first time

A: in funny threads yes, in chat threads no

# ? Jan 25, 2016 18:17

pig slut lisa: irl is good

Q: sometimes i find it difficult to vote on my phone because the browser is wonky and even though i zoom in it doesn't register my click on a number for whatever reason

A: you're banned

# ? Jan 25, 2016 18:19

pig slut lisa: irl is good

Q: isn't it "poor form" to vote your own threads 5?

A: please note that self confidence is not very byob

If you don't even think your thread is a 5 you shouldn't make it.

May I vote without posting? I like the old adage of "vote 1 and move on" except I usually vote 2 instead of 1.

Don't post references to inaccessible, cliquish fandoms and communities and then get pissy when someone mentions how bad that is.
