And I apologize for getting off topic a lot. Sometimes my mind just wanders while I'm here...

But, I'm working on keeping my wandering mind in check and on topic.

You're wrong, saying there are only two currently in effect, but I will not go into the names of people banned, as this isn't proper for public discussion.

Whether it's two or six people, my point was that pookiepothead was exaggerating a LOT when he/she said that people were getting banned all the time, since there's so many people who are currently allowed on the forum. I just meant that the forum moderators could've done a lot more banning than they have, and that they were actually very tolerant. As I said, "so far as I know."

I just say we get over it. Pookie is obviously an idiot and he has now been banned, like he deserved...

What's the craziest rule you've ever heard?

I heard that in one state or country or something (Might've been Italy...I dunno...) that if you kissed and weren't married, you were forced to marry the person you kissed.

That is off topic. The point of Dan keeping this thread up is so that people can see why we have the rules we have.

Well, then, I say I like the fact that there are rules. I like this idea of having rules to follow.

Because, if there were no rules, that would mean the mods just would let anything happen, and wouldn't "take care of us". I think rules mean the one who made them takes care.

Was I on topic ? I sure hope so. ^^;;;;;;;;;;;;

Well if we didn't have rules, people like pookie would be running wild, and would spoil the experience for the people who don't go around randomly insulting people. Sometimes the rules seem a little harsh, but they are here for a reason and if they didn't exist, I wouldn't bother signing up for this forum!

That probably means this person has a long history of being banned from various forums

'J0 4R3 N07 l337 3|\|0UGH 70 U|\|D3R574ND 7EH L337|\|355.'

Translates to

'You are not "leet" enough to understand the "leet"ness.'

Also, 'banneX0red' roughly translates to 'majorly banned'; similar words are 'roX0red' and 'soX0res', as in "This show roX0red my soX0res.'

You know, it seems any time I decide to express my opinion about something, a topic is already started about it. Neat. I, too, must say that I have tremendous respect for the mods here (ALL of them) because of how..."present" they are. You know that if something stupid happens, or if a topic falls off the topic cliff, the mods are ALWAYS there to fix things. I love it. I can click on a thread called "Blah" and KNOW, that even if it's got 2 pages worth of comments, 90% or more of those are gonna be about "Blah." Other message boards I hang out have mods in name only, and it's pandemonium. I also like how there are multiple mods. 1 mod who is never around is just ridiculous. I love how structured it is here. Go mods!! *waves a pennant with "mods" on it*
