I remember before Franco was a mod, like 4 or 5 years ago, he was a funny as hell guy

he was even irreverent, and the mods probated him (kinda like me)

but something happened during that time when he was a mod

something evil

I remember this

I also noticed signs of this in your posts, but you seem to have retired on time

Modding does a bad thing to your brain :ohdear: be careful betamaxs

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Ralp does what they feel is best for us, their children, they care- but like any Father they have to have a firm hand in punishing people who discuss or laugh at things they don't like seeing discussed or laughed at.

They care though. It's done out of love. We simply must be good, obedient children and all will be well.

Ralp Cares.

What I will remember most about them was their avatar. "Every man thinks of changing the forums, but no man thinks of changing himself." No man indeed, Ralp. No man indeed.

Ralp is like a father if your father carried a brief case full of shredded newspaper around the house and violently jerked his body back and forth while lecturing you on how to use spread sheets.

Ok so what do you guys think should be done about posters wishing "death threats" on each other? It's something thats been getting reported lately. Things like people saying "Oh ok well then I think you should kill yourself" etc? Normally I think, whatever.... but its been bothering some people so I dunno...what do you other mods think?

Just ban Efftronica and cut the forum death threats in half.

After all this time Effectronica doesn't have a new schtick? Bloody hell. Ban them for that.

Otherwise wishing death on someone just speaks ill of the wisher and generally has about as much effect on the wishee as wishing them a lottery win or a blowjob from the person of their dreams. Why should anyone care?

If your day is ruined by someone making mean-spirited futile wishes, you should probably ask yourself why you are upset over their impotence.

IQ tests ask questions which require pattern recognition and logic and not ones which require deeply uncomfortable introspection about why the test taker's existence is so devoid of genuine socialization and fulfillment that he clings to a group of mocking, derisive strangers for the semblance of interaction

They also don't talk exclusively about how god isn't real and why Richard Dawkins is the best and how for some reason I can't drop this ever because it's so important that I let everyone know what a bunch of IDIOTS they are, so naturally I don't test well so even though I am as smart as Einstein I don't have the piece of paper to prove it, and it slowly eats away at my soul, causing me to double down on my beliefs.

Isaac Asimov and Buckminster Fuller were members, but I think Mensa members who have made useful contributions to society are the exception, rather than the rule. Most of the names on Wikipedia's "list of notable mensa members" are pretty lackluster.

You should post some quotes from the Mensa forums to show us the high level of discourse we're missing out on down here in the slums.

ahahahaha you talked to me on steam and insisted I talked to you on mumble, so I did and answered some questions about modding but you obviously were too drunk to remember the one thing I told you: the posters suck and you could do a huge thing by dissuading the bad, hateful people from posting. But instead you did the opposite and coddled them, causing what you see now: where joy is gone and a misanthropic group of dorks run the show.

So I would report things to help, and you ignored them, so I just reported things to spite you and hoped that someone would do something, so ralp had to step in and take care of it for you. Then you started having slapfights with ralp because he would mod GBS for you and you got butthurt about that.

We know you have this massive void you need to fill with attention.

Its simply that you are not funny and really loving creepy in general, specifically in the "girl goons" threads.
