But you can't give Karma to the first post, dingbat.

He never said he'd give karma to that post, wingding.

Okay - who's started new threads since I posted this?

I think the karma cap might've been an agent for goats forums quietness in years of late.

I mean, karma-seeking keeps those who are into karma-gaining from saying lame things, and forces the karma-seeker to actually try to be entertaining.

Of course, it'd just further fuel Zamtar's god-of-forums delusions, but this is an acceptably price to pay. ;)

And gaining it hits that happy button of accomplishment that keeps all you kids addicted to your warcraft and whatnot.

I've never looked at slashcode. I wonder how hard it is to remove the point limiter (and to create new titles to accomodate the new ranges).

Holy mis-edit. That third paragraph has a typo and should've been at the end.

Cursed multitasking, you'll be the death of me yet.

I think I'm just boring.

Not to discourage your deep insight, but I have very little to say that would a: appeal to an audience broad enough to be relevant, and/or b: actually matter five seconds after I'd posted it.

On a more positive note, we just got two Sonny Chiba movies for a dollar. So at least if I can't be entertaining, I can watch someone else do it.

That's assuming people would actually mod him up.

Personally, I'm so fascinatingly awesome that I've been avoiding posting in case the forums exceed critical amazingness and collapse in on themselves as a black hole of pure cool. Everything I say is unfortunately guaranteed to be so riveting you'll quit your job. For example: Last night I dreamed I hung out with David Bowie. True story.

It's a curse.

And it only took you 71 posts.

You'll be getting *lots* of karma in your stocking tonight - if you know what I mean - at least if I can find any threads that you've posted in that I haven't.

I reckon all karma should have a 3 month time limit on it. What you posted 3 months ago just isn't cool any more.

Try putting THAT in your slashcode, putting-stuff-in-slashcode man!

You're putting all your good stuff in a thread I can't moderate...

It's in a slump I would say. It seems that it has done this in the past however. Goes quiet for a bit and then picks up for a while. There isn't enough participation to really keep the dead bits seem active like other larger forums.
