10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING
Hey guys, I'm planning on doing some tweaks to GiP over the next coming week or so. Nothing major will be changing but things might get shuffled around/renamed.

A few of the things I'm looking into are:
1.) Redoing the rules thread.
2.) Looking into ways of making resource threads more manageable.
3.) Rebooting the "ask a cop" thread to get it back towards its original purpose
4.) Rebooting the drunk thread into more of a general lounge thread (don't worry, drunk thread-style posting will still be permitted)

I'm also curious about what you all think. What are some ideas you all have for GiP? Anything you'd like to see done? I'm planning on bringing back sniper month in May but I'm open to doing some other gimmick stuff as well.

gip idiot kings would be a fun thing.
redirecting the gip current event threads to a SA coupons thread would be ideal too.

Oh poo poo I'm off probation.

Serious suggestion: Bronies are Haram and their autistic cousins the Anime Fans and 3/5ths of the USAF thread should be on hair trigger probation alert.

Oh and at some point we should probably transition towards the right side of history re: Trannies but we better get a Mathewina Sheppard out of this deviancy if I gotta seriously start biting my loving tongue around those freaks.

They gotta pay they due to even stay on that bottom rung of the human order or I say its it's time the trannies went back to the African Highlands I imagine they came from with a couple of gallons of freshly melted steel bed cooked with jet fuel, Toby.

Quality posting direct from my brain to your face holes.
N4I my vets/resource megathread is old and outdated but I'm happy to rewrite it and post a smaller version within the vets/benefits thread, whatever that ends up looking like. There are still a lot of important nonprofits, community groups and resources, etc. for veterans which arr worth outlining.

Agreed imho but as much as I hate them there is just always going to be more of them now that they're apparently actually getting married and adopting and procreating sometimes.

Think of GiP like a small island in the Caribbean where an eccentric billionaire BDSM aficionado has revived dinosaurs using science and hand waves and Jewry.

After Jeff Goldblum doesn't show enough pre Independence Day man tit fatty drops the Barbasol can, mud started piling up.. You know the deal.

Even if jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel trannies still gonna tranny, and now those clever girls are out there in the wild not being Apex Predatored out of our little global village because power hungry activist friend of the family Uhh.. colored county judges want to say possession of 16 grams means your slanging green and not just slowing down your smoke game and then Welp now I gotta take 5 different psychiatric pills and go to meetings and be actively seeking gainful employment and trannies are still gonna tranny no matter what, and my efforts to put that toothpaste back in the tube then back into an opaque bag and further in the closet than next years Christmas presents and Lowtax's sexuality have all failed..

Well what I really mean is that I can take 3 and half Ambien, slam it with a 50/50 vodka 5 hour energy drink mix in a 32 oz Gatorade bottle, and here it is loving Thursday and I'm off probation early for some reason thank Allah.

Ps that drink mix is called the "12 hour kidnergy drink" as it all but induces renal failure, and I piss neon for days after this.

Tripping baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawls.

I have another serious suggestion N4I: Keep you as CC around here and Ill be the CV and only waste time handling the complaints of the outsiders of GiP who report in. I'm flexible on the outing users of the report button, I just want a free hand to bedazzle some really retarded outsiders rap sheets when they report. I even just said retarded instead of gay bc I recently learned through Wanda Sykes that my use of your sexuality to describe everything terrible in this world is "Not cool" because I seriously wanted to say the Faggot Word but thumbed over to the R's and retarded instead to showcase my interpersonal diplomatic skills and fair hand towards your kind. :colbert:

P.S.: True believers know Ozmadans approved puppets are apostates in the GiPaliph and its harem as gently caress to submit to any other than the prophet. So GG loving up the GiPiphate by taking your eye off the ball to put your mouth on a set of different balls... Must be what happened since we got Bronies in the open wearing Hunter orange and you haven't bagged a big bad buck Brony like Wasabi yet.

:colbert:

Also I'm not serious about all that but can we enforce Bronies being harem?

the bottom thread on the first page for me is two weeks old.

if you haven't read it in two weeks, it's probably safe to say you won't bother later.

WHERE MY HOSE DRINKERS AT

Idiot Kings would be great.

Also, is making monthly branch threads still really needed? I'd honestly prefer just having an annual one like the drunk thread.

The Quick Questions thread can probably be Old Yeller'd, as no one has posted in there for over a month. The Sponsor thread probably could too, but maybe someone here actually uses it.

Other than that I think the stickied threads are good- The legal thread especially- and as long as the Dogge thread is never un-stickied again then there won't be any issues.

My thoughts on the resource threads are to unstick them but have a directory sticky that links to them.
