OK -- this has been bugging me. When you're viewing the board and not logged in, none of the posts from this forum will be shown when you click on "active posts." You either have to click on the forum separately, or login and click on "new posts." Can that be fixed? Seems weird one forum would be excluded . . .

I've fixed the active posts thing - that should work now :ok

I've also moved the smileys around not sure it's made much of a difference though :shrug

None as far as I can tell.

It's made some given a little more playing you might save a little more but I doubt it'll be worth it.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

you can at least figure out what I'm talking about from the context Mister I'm going to edit my post and render someone else's Apocalypse Now joke meaningless. :P

I propose another forum - akin to what was suggested at the CSB, I would like to see a place where squabbles between posters can be taken to type it out. I'm not a fan of the flaming drawers idea, though. Just something simple. If a poster cheeses you off, open a thread and let it fly. Quit pissing in the threads.

Hey the :hen can go.

It was lovely and funny, but hardly needed in an emoticon range.

:D
Bah!

Awww. I liked the flaming drawers.

But I can certainly see that at some point a "Justify your Statement" forum could be a solution to a problem.
Bah!

There would need to be, IMO, a set point where the drama needs to be removed from a thread. Maybe a whistle gif or something?
I don't know. I'm used to moderated board where if a poster starts in on another poster (vs the ideas of the poster), it's off to the pit. It allows people to take the gloves off without derailing the main thread.
Of course, they also use the forum to piss and moan about everything else, too, but it's the only place to sort out personal issues.

One thing that is very regretful about the closing of the CSB is that we left behind the ashes of RBrown, Loki and ROE (others?). Anyone with a classy idea on how we can pay homage to them on this board? Had they been alive I am sure they would have been onboard with us.

I wholeheartedly agree with @meric@nwom@ns suggestion.
Personally, I don’t believe in bros before hoes, or hoes before bros. There needs to be a balance. A homie-hoe-stasis, if you will.

I'm on board with more smilies. I would like one that actually pukes, if anyone has one and it can be easily added.
