    Sometimes I get mad about the fact that moderators and admins on Reddit, 4chan, Bit-Tech and other internet walled gardens act like tyrannical, hung-over school masters, throwing everyone in detention just so they can get some peace and quiet.

    But then I remember that all of these internet spaces are completely free to use, that the moderators and admins work entirely for free, that the whole structure is an edifice made of measly ad revenue to cover server costs and volunteer goodwill to hold everything else together, and that basically if I don't like it I can step up and do a better job myself, or gtfo.

    I'd say we're pretty laid back here. It's fairly tricky to get a ban.

    I think you’ll find it had a “forced windows update” then refused to boot.

    The fact it’s running on Linux is neither here nor there.

    Quite. Perhaps it's more of a Banpoopascoop for a Doge.

    There's a cat a couple of doors down that appears to be the girlfriend of my 2. She has ginormous thumb's on her front paws. Probably why she can keep both of mine happy at the same time :eyebrow:

    Lonely Island in the Thunderdome?

    I mean, if I had to choose a soundtrack for our final Lord of the Flies forum meltdown, that would definitely be it.
