I say chaps, there's way too much vulgarity going on in this thread. I am going to have to lay the law down for some of you young bucks.

You are really off kilter and have no regard for the house rules which state that all ties must be pulled up fully and jackets must be fastened by the centre button only, unless sitting down.

Fuck it, I'm off to the pub.
I hope you are dressed properly for a Sunday sir. And get properly pissed at the pub.  :)p5

Oh yah. Gave a large rump steak a good seeing to with a couple of old rumpy pumpies, courtesy of the local ale house.

Then played a few rounds on the old Joanna for an hour. Landlord still made me pay for the refreshment. What is the world coming to eh? ;)

You know, I get like $200 worth of free Azure stuff a month. A good chunk of the new site could be hosted on that. That's like...500GB of bandwidth a month

Having been a mod on a larger forum for many years, I too have watched these progressions as the site deals with growth and the consequences of same.

Some always want it to stay the same, some want/demand it to change, drama ensues, some leave, newbs come in to fill in the numbers.

And so it goes.

This form of communication is fraught with limitations (lack of subtle cues we all 'depend upon' for context) etc.
It's a wonder things don't get out of hand all the more.
And for me the bottom line is it's just words on a screen, with the meaning residing between our ears.

All of this has reminded that we ARE NOT our thoughts.
We are NOT what our egos want others to think of us.

If what this site becomes isn't acceptable, then start one that is.
And experience for yourself the reality behind what it takes to deal with 'personalities' and their attendant egos.

After all these are the origins of this very site and countless others...

So for me, contributing something of value is what I aspire to in terms of the contents of my posts.
It's a hobby and I for one want to maintain that perspective so the fun and sense of discovery and sharing remain.
So when the seriousness gets in the way, since it's just words on a screen, I just ignore it all.

Life is too short and I'm the one who decides what is important, at least for me anyway.

To keep the new place pleasant yes. Do not expect "Headphone Flowchart" posts from me in the future.

A good joke is still appreciated there so all is well.

Did you catch a lot of flak for the chinchong thing on the flowchart? I was under the impression that people didn't get ruffled by that.

popcorn I guess this thread is a perfectly fitting way to send the Changstar ship to Davy Jones' locker.

”May your anchor be tight, your cork be loose, your rum be spiced and your compass be true” ... good luck on the new site.
