What is PPG missing the most?
« on: June 18, 2006, 09:38:47 AM »
Through perusal of the revived TeamBG FAQ, it has come to my attention that there is a stale climate lingering over PPG, and after thorough deliberation it is this which brings me to present Yet Another Thread Parodying Other Communities. Vote, without further ado!

There's certainly no need for the Invision database errors, since PPG already has an equally annoying "quirk": if you happen to get an error message when trying to access the forums, none of the posts that were made between your previous successful visit and the error show up in "show unread posts since last visit".

I was hoping for something more along the lines of utterly disabling the forum for a good half the time though.

I can't decide it is either Bans or An array of comedy administrators. Hmmmmmmm

I'd have included a few other options in the poll:

"An abandoned Moongaze mod"

"Threads about under-age sex"

"A wiki"

"A forum for every NPC idea anyone comes up with"

I know, I know, how about where admins post under alts so they can troll other boards and still keep their good name?

Thanks to the efforts of a certain Mr. Ding0, PPG is already fully competent in that regards.

Spurious nonsense polls! How can my trivial opinion be heard, if there are not enough polls to participate in? Also you forgot an exit clause in your poll.


..and more talk about Hitler, racism, politics, religion and everything else. Yahoo is just way to crowded.

@ troll other boards
Trolling abroad is a good English tradition, sadly for them sometimes they meet people abroad equally fond of a quick round of fisticuffs as they are.
People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.

PPG manages with the one administrator rather than the comedy array. SimDing0 does not administrate PPG, therefore his efforts referred to above do not meet Blood Raven's suggestion.

Of course, the truly crucial item that was left off the poll is LAWYERS.
Newt had always suspected that people who regularly used the word "community" were using it in a very specific sense that excluded him and everyone he knew.

Additionally, this is a gross misrepresentation in that I never had a good name.

Which is good compared to that other place and the Three Stooges.

And here I was going to come in and remark how much I love the TeamFJ thread over at TeamBG.

That Anomen mod sounds like a winner, btw.

Ironic considering your own site has a "comedy array"...
