Transparency - changes to the BBS

Sorry, I’ve already bought my requisite $100 of shit from the store. I’m allowed to run my adblocker and complain about the quality of things I see…

Yeah, nobody’s stopping you.

Well, except you’re telling me above that I shouldn’t be doing it…

Quit blaming the members for short sighted decisions by management.

Didn’t say you weren’t allowed.

Because you don’t have the power to “allow” things here. I’m pretty sure you told us all to “stop” in the post I replied to though.

The lounge is private. Please don’t post that publicly. If people want it PM them, but there’s personal discussions, etc. that people definitely don’t want splayed on the net in there.

Please… stop it.

Sniping at each other isn’t helping.

I think that’s as far as we can go. If somebody wants to start on the lounge thread from top down, I can send instructions.

That ought to be one of our new Title options. I’ve always considered myself an Irregular Regular… :grinning:

I like it.

Wait, we have to use 15 characters now?

See your PM’s.

Also since when do posts have to be 15 characters instead of 6?

Are you using javascript to scrape? I think I could write a crawler to reconstruct the “full” topic HTML source in constant memory, then we could convert that to something loadable.

Unfortunately I no longer have access, or I’d be burning the midnight oil to do it.

I have the access currently, but not the skill set.
