Since the forums seems to have a weird and creepy fixation on Spooky Skeletons, I thought I would give everybody a thread for Spooky Skeleton content.

This should prove helpful for people who, like me, prefer not to encounter Spooky Skeletons: simply don't read this thread, but all the other ones are safe!

For instance, here is a list of threads in BYOB I have avoided reading due to a high likelihood of encountering a Spooky Skeleton. Are these threads actually Spooky Skeleton free? WHO CAN SAY!


So please, everybody, do your part and post all your spooky skeletons in this thread only.

Here are a few questions I imagine I'll be asked a lot in the future:

Why are you afraid of Spooky Skeletons, cruft?
The answer is in the question, friend!

What if I need to refer to a Spooky Skeleton in another thread?
Please use this thread to post the actual skeleton, and then post a link to your post in the other thread. Think of this as sort of like a spoiler tag, except for Spooky Skeletons.

Is this for all Spooky Skeletons, or only human Spooky Skeletons
ALL SPOOKY SKELETONS

What about non-Spooky Skeletons?
No such thing.

Thanks in advance for helping to make the forums a safer place for everybody!

Great question, Glutes Are Great! Thanks for asking!

I think you're going to have to fire up Photoshop and split your image in half.

Spooky Skeleton half: this thread
Fully Sexual Snail half: "Fully Sexual Snails Roundup Megathread", or maybe "kicked out of starfleet"?

Please, if there are physiological reasons why the Spooky Skeleton cannot be easily photoshopped away from the Fully Sexual Snail, consider leaving it in the safety of the "C:\Windows32\Sexy_Snails" folder that all BYOB posters are known to have.

it's a free country u pervs
I'm with op on this one. I've never understood the skeleton "joke" which seems such a big part of these forums. pls just get it out of ur system ITT

uhhhh I am extremely torn over here, I feel like one of these folders I should post in its entirety all over byob and the other one I should contain to one thread, but I can't tell which is which!!

Okay, this is actually pretty simple if you just ask yourself this One Simple Question:

quote:

Could this contain a Spooky Skeleton?

Let's go through you System32 folder line by line, asking this question!

sd-Arab-PK
no Spooky Skeletons here, :justpost:

SecureBootUpdates
This is a little tricky because at first it sounds like you're gonna say "Spooky", but no, you're fine! :justpost:

setup
Although it may contain Spooky Skeleton installers, there's no clear indication of Spooky Skeletons, so :justpost:

Sexy_Snails
You're A-OK on this one, please remember to also PM me with the contents :justpost:

Sexy_Snails with SPOOKY SKELETON :siren: :siren: :siren:
See those handy sirens? That's your conscience alerting you to Spooky Skeleton content! Be sure to only post these files in this thread, and nowhere else!


I hope this walk-through has been instructive and can help all BYOB posters decide what should and should not be posted outside of the Spooky Skeleton Roundup Megathread.

Glutes Are Great, we need to have a talk about your avatar.

oh I see what you mean, yeah, no, I fell for it, too, but no worries, the butt had the hairstyle done by a regular human not a spooky skeleton, so it's fine

I'm not sure about my actual butt though, sometimes it goes rogue and gets a haircut elsewhere and I have not yet received confirmation about it being spooky skeleton free

I'm going to die someday and my skeleton will continue to haunt PR's PMs with pictures of cat buttholes, but spooky and skeleton-y. Because I'm a Bone Bud till the day I die, pal. And then like, I'll literally be a Bone Bud because through the magic of decomposition I will skeletonize into my final and dare I say best form.

I am starting to realize that BYOB is like 60% Spooky Skeleton avatars.

Makes ya think.

I would also be uncomfortable if a spooky skeleton was too close to my boobs. Good luck with this scary situation, friend.

However, I believe MS Paint was created for situations just like this!

when remembering posters i often mix up forum poster beer pal and forum poster posting smiling, because
1) fun spooky skull av
2) good poster
applies to both



thank you saoshyant for this sig!!!

most of how i remember posters is by "what is their avatar" and "are they a good poster", so any time folks in byob have similar avatars i have no way to tell them apart

imo it would be entertaining to give everyone in byob an identical avatar and identical username except for a numeric suffix and have everyone post normally and see if people could figure out who was who

for a short time anyway

the problem is we would have to temporarily forego sigs, unless we also included an opportunity for yobbers to make sigs for others based on who they think they are or how their recent posting has been

I could make this happen with a Chrome extension. It'd be voluntary but could be a fun exercise.

hmmm interesting, although people not participating might be very confused

would the extension be able to handle the "x posted" part of quote blocks?

It would have to.

Working on it now. I'm going to bring in a small subset of Jett's byobscript stuff too.

Thank God for this thread. Posting some stuff from the Welcome and Chat thread which really needs to be filed somewhere formally:

Okay, I have a Chrome extension. It's less interesting than I would have hoped.

Google must have gotten absolutely wolloped about extension security, they're making me wait two weeks for a manual review of it, since it will modify web site data.

If anybody is interested, let me know, and I'll make a new thread walking you through how to try it out. I don't recommend this for anyone who hasn't at least dabbled with a little application development in the past: in general, you shouldn't go using developer mechanisms without actually being a developer, because it bypasses a lot of safety mechanisms.
