Onions and Chrtistmas Trees
A family is at the dinner table. The Son asks his father: "Dad, how many
kinds of boobies are there? The father, surprised, answers:" well, son,
there are three kinds of breasts" In her twenties, a woman's breasts are
like melons, round and firm. In her thirties to forties, they are like
pears, still nice, but hanging a bit. After fifty, they are like >onions".
"Onions?"
"Yes, you see them and they make you cry."
This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter said: "Mum, how
many kinds of 'willies' are there? The Mother, surprised, smiles and answers:
"well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his twenties, his willy
is like an oak tree, mighty and hard. In his thirties and forties, it is a
birch, flexible but reliable. After his fifties, it is like a Christmas
tree."
"A Christmas tree?"
"Yes, its dead from the root up and the balls are for decoration"

Its 4 in the morning and if none of this makes much sense then apologies in advance.
Seems like an awful lot of stuff has come and gone since i first ventured onto the net in 1993 (feels like a long time ago) I guess the main thing here is the site isnt shutting up shop - a few few fave places i've frequented can now only be found on :-(
Technically if the changes are similar to those that happened to say friendsreunited (a some extra tab thingies that nobody uses - well not me anyway) then i dont suppose
it will be that big of a deal.
What is an issue is the role of the mods and ops - there is currently continuity running through from when the current forums were created to the present day and significant numbers of people developed with the site as mark created it. Its called having a stake in something and seeing it grow - loyalty if you like.
I know for a fact the amount of time Jags spends clearing tossers out of the ghetto forums and i'm sure all the other mods/ops are just as dedicated. In my experience you only get that level of volunteer effort in non profit organisations - there are plenty of examples around if you think about it community centres, preserved railways etc. where folk have a passion for whatever it is theyre supporting. Now thats fine as long as everyone feels equal but when said company starts taking a profit then your volunteers are going to be less enthusiastic about clearing out the sludge. Okay so they could be paid but i cant see there is going to be the level of recompense required to keep these gals/guys doing the shittier end of the job.
Loose that control and thats the end of of the forums (cant comment on chat cos i dont go there) its probably worth remembering that controlling the idiots on a site like this takes a *lot* more effort and judgement than your average technical discussion site.
I might be wrong but it seems to me that the current status quo is going to be difficult to maintain.
At the end of the day the site is basically an irc server/channel and a phpBB bulletin board that happens to have a loyal following and some *very* dedicated volunteers. Some new fetures might work but theyre only going to be worthwhile if they increase the userbase and personally i dont understand where that increase is going to come from because the high volume supply of punters is currently (rightly) modded out due to lack of maturity / general lack of braincell functionality (i'm talking about the can i have a shag tonight? brigade).
(I was going to say something about video and preferring to use MSN but i'm suffering severe brainfade and need to get some sleep.)
Catch you all soon
