I hate to rain on anyone that takes initiative, but given that this is a message board that requires registration, and it’s a SECTION of the message board that requires special permissions to post in, AND all that good information is contained in a database accessible by SOMEONE (either a mod or a supermod) - wouldn’t it have been easier to request this list from someone in that position by doing a query on the database rather than this ‘by hand’ approach?

I’m just talking in the sense of a ‘what is your time worth’ sort of standpoint.

I don’t care if you’re on vacation or not, that’s a lot of work to have done.

Unless you’re a little OCD-afflicted and it makes you happy.[/quote]

Was that really necessary to post? What were you trying to gain? ‘i am a big man points’, fraid all you scored is ‘i am a dickhead points’! However I do hope it helps you get over your own insecurities.

Oh and just remember, I may have wasted a couple of hours, but atleast I am not considered A waste.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that.

There are many things I take very, very seriously and would never joke about. Women being oppressed on a message board? On a message board at a site called “Testosterone Nation”? I’m sorry, but a furrowed brow of earnest outrage seem so wildly over the top to me, I can’t even comprehend that anyone would take “yes, yes, let’s rank order the women, if there’s discrimination here anywhere, we’ll find it!” seriously.

This wasn’t as laughable as the “We have a right to photos of members’ cocks!” battle of a few months ago, and some of the women have feelings with which I sympathize, but beyond that, please. If this is all women have left to bitch about, they need to STFU. It’s embarrassing.[/quote]

Oh come one now! What is so laughable about the Battle for the Great Cocks of '08?

But yeah, I think that the complaints are sometimes taken a bit overboard as well. I may have even overreated once or twice… so sue me.

And you’re right, it is embarrassing.

My dad shares his birthday with Elton John. That always cracks me up. Especially since finding out last year that Sheryl Swoopes was also born on that day.

I think having 332 members is a good reason to not give every member the powers to add members.

yep the dick pic battle will never die, the shame is that wasn’t even the point of what we were asking for.

guess it goes down to picking your battles, knowing when to pack it in, and remembering threads never really die

I was just messing with you. You know I think you’re funny. Not as funny as I am in my own head mind you.

However, I wish you wouldn’t mock my hurt feelings over not getting unsolicited weenie photos. That just makes me really sad :frowning:

You know, I have never recieved any unsolicited pics. But I have had PM’s asking me if I wanted to see said member. Shall I send them your way?

Hey, Sally Sunshine - re-read what I posted.

I said “I hate to rain on anyone that takes initiative”. Meaning, I think initiative is GREAT. I even pointed out the fact that we ALL CAN TELL that you did a lot of work.

Work is great. Dilligence is great.

But here’s something I’ve learned in LIFE:

Reinventing the wheel isn’t a good thing. I’ve been successful in my career and in life because I realized that sometimes doing something the HARD way is just that - doing it the HARD way.

I used to work as a software coder. Guess what? I could have written the libraries all over again and done the exact same thing that 1000s of programs have needed for years. But guess what? There are files that contain ‘common tools’ that you use to save some time.

Hey, if it’s FUN for you to do this sorta thing, then yeah, I have no right to rain on that parade. I mean, there are worse things to do with your time.

My only point was that there are TOOLS via software that could have done what you did in a FRACTION of the time…and readily available from the system that runs this site.

Time you could have been LIVING. Working out. Anything else!

Why so defensive? And especially why such an attack at MY post? I ended it humorously with the OCD comment…

But if you wanna be that way, fine. My impetus behind posting this? Spend your time doing something else. My understanding of a MESSAGE BOARD is to post MESSAGES, which is what I did.

Not looking to ‘score points’, but merely take advantage of the fact that it’s A FRICKING FORUM!!!

But if you’re gonna get all upset that someone (me) didn’t get all slurpy on you for doing something manually that you didn’t need to (aka, doing it the HARD way), then I’m sorry.

But, maybe think again before jumping from 0 to psycho next time.

I just find it funny that Bushy was one of the original members (no pun intended given the current arc) and here, five pages later, he’s still not on the list. Even though the list of the originals was republished yesterday.

What’s a list worth? And when the originals were picked largely at random from those who had complained (more than 15 of us complained, before some of you get torqued – just not all of us chose to be public about it), what qualifies them to find others worthy or not?

He’s not on the list because it would make the list inaccurate. There are reasons he is not named as you would expect.

Whoa, is this just a deja vu kinda thing, or am I ACTUALLY back in high school-shudder/NOOOOOOO!! Is it possible to have a cyber version of a Masonic Lodge, like with no windows, so all the unwashed and uncouth UNivited have to hang around outside wondering pathetically what the Special Ones are up to? Ooooo, you can soooo count ME out!

p.s. I think I may have just had a Tequila Sunrise-oops, mea culpa!

See if you had done straight Tequila you would have had F-Bombs all over the place and been insulting.

115

…I like that Elitism quote-tres inspiring! So, is that, like, a Turkey Vulture in the pic (looks very, uh, Stephen Colbert)?

So, STRAIGHT tequila is the secret?? Sheesh, colour me red[faced]! Next time, eh :)?

116

If those folks want to have a members-only site, let them charge dues — see how many people really want to be members of some phony thinktank. The only member would be X, whacking off to hus own brilliance.

Whatever it was you were asking for, you chose to rally around 6 pack Zack’s engorged member. As impressive as that particular penis was, it was not the appropriate springboard (heh) for an equal rights battle at this site.

Further, the women were not all in agreement about that, as I notice they are not now. I don’t like it when others speak for me, but it seems to keep happening here. Which then forces me to publicly break ranks, weakening the position of whatever women are agitating for change and making us all look even more foolish (“They can’t even agree on what it is they want! Fucking women!”).

My advice to you in your role as agent of change would be to be very specific about who you are representing and exactly what it is you would like to see changed. “Christine and I would like…” It may feel less powerful than speaking for a large group, but in fact it increases your credibility.

Ouroboro, I would never mock you for that! It’s the PUBLIC penis campaign I mock. Your private quest is a whole 'nother thing!

Emily I am in no role and I was never speaking for you. So let’s clear that up.

I asked for my change and I got my change. They moved the Muscle Sorority back to the site and they created the Powerful Woman’s forum. That was what I asked for.

Regarding the post deletions I don’t care if you agreed or didn’t agree, it was my issue so I brought it to their attention. TC explained the circumstances to me and it was dropped.

Don’t connect Christine with me as I have no doubts if she has an issue she will bring them up for herself.

I don’t connect you to me and I am not currently asking for any change.

Your failed humor has brought this all about. I wasn’t pointing a finger at you, I was clarifying an issue that I think you were purposely muddying.

and I don’t need labels such as “agent in charge” and I don’t need you saying I am asking for changes when I am not.

I respect your opinion so if I want advice from you I will ask for it.

6 Pack Zack’s engorged member!

It was posted in the TILF thread (he had on some sort of stretchy garment, for some reason that part is a little hazy). It was rather clearly visible/outlined (that part I remember clearly). The mods deleted the post.
