That was not a Zinger. That was a sincere question because I have no idea what is going on.

No, but I am really hoping that by capitalizing the word zinger, we could pivot the discussion to those foods.

Hm, looks like visited links are not getting colored:

Or probably the color is almost the same as normal text color (gray.)

Re: Things What I Don't Like About The New BBS.
Can we change the focus of some of the boards around, or add one or something?
I suggest changing King's Quarters from Sports & Music to Music & Software, and The Pleasure Whorf to Movies, Sex and Sports. Or drop Sex since Jonsey seems t have an aversion to discussing the subject. Or add a board specifically for software. We keep having comments about it that there should be a focused place for it.
Perhaps one of the boards should be marked to have a politics focus.
Also, let's redefine The Troll Room from "animated GIFs and nonsense" to "Miscellaneous & uncategorized" When was the last time anyone was posting nimated Gifs there exclusively?

Re: Things What I Don't Like About The New BBS.
Tdarcos has a great idea. Let's make a new board that covers sex and politics so I can be sure to never, ever go in there.

I'll tell you what, you'll get my take on the topic of sex when you one day bring up the topic of sex, instead of the consent-bypassing, mind-controlled tentacle rape you instead choose to keep cramming into everyone's psyche and eyeballs.Tdarcos wrote: Tue Oct 06, 2020 4:25 am Or drop Sex since Jonsey seems t have an aversion to discussing the subject.

Re: Things What I Don't Like About The New BBS.
Ooh, wait, can we make it three topics? Sex, politics, and stories about shitting the bed? It would be convenient to have all of those topics grouped together.

Re: Things What I Don't Like About The New BBS.
If we are adding new boards around here then I would like to suggest:
Let's Figure This Shit Out Together
It's a board where the members of JC come together to try and figure shit out. The first thread I plan on making there is going to be titled "Aliens - What are they up to now?".

Can we, as a community, avoid scatological details in any the bases? We're better than that, aren't we?

The "Carbon" style doesn't allow you to enter in a new password if you go through the password reset process. I have to validate all styles for that now, I guess. Fucking webshit.

Maximum of ten poll options. I'm told this is configurable, Sysop.

Holy shit. Search is case-sensitive.
SEARCH IS CASE-FUCKING-SENSITIVE.
Search for "Hamm's". Then search for "HAMM'S".
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Nice job, Retro, you fuckhead.
