Re: Link to Plan B posted at CSB

Well, what's done is done. It was, as you say, inevitable. There WILL be a concerted effort to poison the atmosphere here. It doesn't have to work if the perpetrators are completely frozen out by non-response. I think a couple of the (relatively speaking) saner minds running the show over there will...

Hmmm, I wonder how many people are scratching their heads wondering why I was directing them to a forum about morning-after contraception. :?

Re: Masseuse Question

Because "massage parlour" is a euphemism for what actually went on in those establishments.

Re: What song are you humming/thinkin' about?

I was piddling around YouTube yesterday, and found out that one of my favourite Italian songs by a group called Ricchi e Poveri, also has a Swedish version by a group called Perikles, and ever since I have found myself singing "var ska vi sova i natt" over and over again, without having a clue what ...

Re: Skins Round 1

I only voted for options where the author of the post is off to the left, rather than ones formatted like the current skin, because it's more readable for me. So for me that eliminated ProFormell, Static and Dirty Board. Minimalist was too boring, and the black background in TwilightBB will drive me...

Re: Westboro goes to Court

I almost pissed my pants the first time I saw that.

I wonder how long they would stay at their posts on the picket line if an entire gaggle of really obviously gay men kept coming on to them like that. It would probably repulse them so much they'd run for their lives.

Re: Go us! Go Us!!

No, people who are completely new don't need to be exposed to that shit, even peripherally. Honestly, I don't think any of the usual subjects will care to be here where they don't control everything, and I think they would be perfectly happy if the CSB devolved into being just the 3 or 4 of them tal...

Re: Westboro goes to Court

Not gay people, they aren't covered by federal hate crimes laws. I get uneasy about any attempts to delimit areas where free speech may be exercised. I rather like the solution that Matthew Shepard's friends came up with at his funeral, they used pvc pipe to make really tall angel's wings which they...

"If you build it, they will come."

I think it's evident just how much folks were needing a new place to hang their hats.

Thanks to those who put the effort into create it and continue to put the effort into maintaining it.

Re: Let's get ripped!

My sense of most stuff on youtube is that the quality isn't such that it's worth watching on a big screen, unless there's a HD version. Doing what you want would require software that would capture the video from the net, and convert it from the Flash Player version used by YouTube into something th...

Editing

I just edited a post very soon after I originally posted it, and it left no trace that it had been edited - is this a function of time elapsed between original submission and the edit, or because no one had yet posted subsequently to me? Just curious, because when I did a test edit on an older post ...

The easiest (free) way I have found to do this is using RealPlayer. Download the free version of RealPlayer. (Do NOT pay for the dubious privilege of activating RealPlayer Plus.) Be careful when installing - it will try to get you to make RP your default player for various audio and video formats, d...
