I wasn't a big fan of the big, pink squares, but now we don't have any way of telling which threads have new posts. Wtf?

Ah, the ever-changing forum. It's magical, isn't it? You never know what you're going to see when you log on.

Take care, friend.

I made a thread in CB to address this.  They are aware and WotC_Michelle popped in to let us know that this should be fixed with the release of a build on Thursday.  Keep them panties out of yer cracks, fellas.  All will be ... sorta ok.

The Mature sub-forum was the only good thing WotC forum had going for itself. I used it to vent off, so I could be clearheaded when I have real debates on actual D&D forums.

What the hell is with Astrid's Parlor? It reeks of feminine hygiene products, along with the nasty, spent stuff! What do we guys get? NOTHING! We need a sub-forum with some chest heir, dammit! (then again, I don't think they got anyone with the scrots to run it)

Ummm... Ewww.

I get rid of my "spent" stuff promptly, which is more than I can say about the hygiene of some men I've known. When I can smell a locker room from the other end of the building, you need to wash up more often.

What's a scrot?

Yes.  The Mature board was so mature the powers that be decided to close it.

Astrid's is not about women.  For reals.  Us men get to play there, too.  We never had a board solely devoted to men, though.  I did create a thread about manly men stuff at one point and it was fairly popular for a time.  It died.  Feel free to create your own here in the Tavern.

Does anyone else see the irony in someone decrying the loss of the Mature forum then following it up with the kind of vile crudeness that got it closed in the first place?

This complaint seems a little late.

What was the name of your thread? Maybe we could revive it.

I'm ashamed to admit this, but I can't remember.  How many man points do I lose?

Indeed. I would expound, but I think Malcadon was either being intentionally ironic, or else trolling. Not that there's a large difference...

Actually, both. My sense of humor (if you can call it that) has always been a bit off (not to mention other facets of my thinking). Thanks for noticing.

Not sure. forgetting things though is kinda manly, but it's not cool that you forgot about the manly thread. well you didn't forget about it. You just forgot its name. I don't think it's manly for men to forget about manly things. Are threads about manliness manly?

Seems to me the most manly things ever are to forget important special occasions (GF's bday, anniversary, Valentine's day, etc), and to make things way more complicated than they have to be.

In that respect, you both seem to be doing just fine :P

Sorry I asked. Was really kind of obvious, now that it's been pointed out. Although at the risk of sounding even more naive than I already do, I wonder what that has to do with running a Forum?

I think they totally are manly.  I sorta remember what the thread was called.  It was the Manly Men something or other.  Or something like that.  Or something else.  It started as a thread about guns an' other manly stuff an' was altered after the participants requested it be done.  Cuz it's manly to demand change like that and, as a manly man, I had to respect their manly request.  Or fight 'em.  Since this is teh interwebz, we couldn't really fight like manly men so I changed it instead.  I could probably locate it, but it's totally unmanly to not be totally lazy.  Or to care about anything at all.  So there's that.

This would be really helpful ... if it was manly to listen to a dame.

Discussing manliness is decidely unmanly. Even the word 'manliness' is unmanly. Only those who are unsure of their manliness (and thus unmanly) need discuss manliness.  Like faith, gravity, and the irresistable sexiness of bad women, manliness just is. If men examine manliness too closely, thus generating unmanliness, the two cancel each other out in an exposion of testosterone and estrogen, leaving behind nothing but a smoking crater of metrosexuality.

Manliness abides.
