mock threads get like that, it's unfortunate but the content of this one is consistently hilarious and thanks to the subject matter the predictable posters are always blundering into making terrible confessions about their hosed up lives so that stays funny too. It's not like the old tvtyropes mock threads which eventually degenerate into earnest discussion of why liking turn-based RPGs is inherently racist

I tried to come up with a reasoning behind that, but to no avail. Do you have an explanation or a link?

it's archived but as far as I can tell they were playing Chinese whispers starting with "RPGCodex and No Mutants Allowed are bad places" and that was the eventual conclusion. These threads eventually eat their own and it was a dark time for the forums

I like mock threads, but they absolutely do disappear up their own asses after a couple hundred pages. Just for fun, try dropping in on page 1000 or so of a mock thread mocking something you don't particularly care about. It's like they're speaking a different language. (In my case, trying this with the Xbone thread was an eye-opening experience and not in the way they'd expect)

I used to post in r/r but I had to quit because the in-thread drama rivaled the content and it was exhausting

It was a lot better when there was a whole backlog of outlandish stories to pull from instead of like, the mundane poo poo on the frontpage. There was a good run in there when we picked keywords to search for instead of just posting the new stuff.

All mock threads turn to poo poo when there isn't an influx of new content. Mods should probs just lock the threads when hey get like that, and tell them they can remake the thread in a month or two.

I guess no one here has seen Elsa's comics from the R/ Relationships thread. They're loving hilarious.

Elsa was completely bonkers but then started only posting illustrated R/Relationship stories and did the most amazing worst to first since Mermaid Shelly.

There's a pretty good stream of content, but people have their reactions instinctualized at this point, so the conversations converge quickly.

It's just the normal name for it that everyone uses in Australia (and judging from the Wikipedia article, probably lots of other places that aren't America).

are the same thing!

Something being used in Australia just makes it more likely to be racist.

Australia is inhabited solely by savage mega-racists whose burned leathery skin constantly spurts out rivers of sweat to keep the swarms I flies that follow them at bay. Flies that would otherwise burrow deep into their skin because the swamplike flesh of the Australian is the perfect place to pay eggs.

Please don't compare the people of Queensland's outer suburbs to the rest of us, thank you.

Seriously, the place is like Australian Florida.
