Girl Drink Drunk · #**106**

I got sick of using that name for forums, and I'm a guy.

Mockery · #**107**

This thread is tops and I think we've solved all the issues that everybody has with the forums and we should all now look towards the future with hope and wonder!

Girl Drink Drunk · #**110**

For anyone that was confused, I never (intentionally) tried to mislead anyone with the two names. I got Sniperwulf from a friend, and Girl Drink Drunk is from this Kid's in the Hall Skit about a (get this) male alcoholic that likes girl drinks. Basically, I just assumed people would figure out I was a guy in little time, and wasn't trying to pull some Guitar Woman-esque shit.

Then you set up a place in which [team]s can make everyone laugh.

Now here is the reason why I think it could make a dent in improving the boards. It promotes team work, you would be able to teach noobs the 9 ways of funny, it promotes competition (who's [team] is the funniest.), people who never got along (if accepted into the same [team]) might form a bond, you know some real funny things are gonna happen.

Although still somewhat wet-behind-the-ears, I'll weigh in and say that I like this idea. Not only could it be a good way of introducing people to the concept of i-mockery humor, it also could teach some skills (cooperation, listening, reasoned debate) that are useful in everyday life.

Businesses are doing this in the workplace; why can't we make it work on a humor web site?

(And yes, I'm including myself in the "we" category!)

(Note to Tadao - My apologies, but I changed the word "gang" to "team" in your post above because it's friendlier. I grew up in Philly.

i think we should bring back that thread where we all set up matches playing fighting games on MAME or something, that shit was fun

and maybe unban jixby ;_;

Zomboid · #**116**

I like jixby, but wouldn't that GO AGAINST ALL THE RULES OF THE SECRET SANTA EVENT?

Then again, wasn't orange juice bruce supposed to be banned after the first one?

EDIT: I forgot about imock on facebook. I left cause I don't want anyone that I know to know that I post on INTERNET FORUMS!

Esuohlim · #**117**

I'm all for unbanning Jixby too but does he really still want to to post here?

Fathom Zero · #**118**

Seriously, I would forgive somebody if they couldn't/wouldn't send out my package.

I don't expect to get anything on Christmas.

Guitar Woman · #**119**

Yeah, what's with not banning ZBF for fucking up Secret Santa and bringing the axe on Jixby?

Shame on you.

Mockery · #**120**

Ok, so a couple of things here...

1) I think some of the older site vets from way back when are bored with the I-Mockery forums because it's a different kind of site in many ways. We used to be almost 100% scene mockery (making fun of whatever music scene you were into), and as a result, this drew in a LOT of complete idiots who didn't get the joke and it was fun as hell to verbally rip them apart in public. As time went on, I got really bored of making scene mockery sites and started expanding into different areas of mockery such as picking apart the stupid things in bad movies, making fun of video games and bad rom hacks, etc etc. While this has obviously generated WAAAAY more traffic for I-Mockery and given us a huge audience, it doesn't make as many complete fools come our way who are ready to get into a knife fight with anybody who says something bad about their scene. You'll be hard pressed to find people who will defend their shit so blindly (even on a humor site) as people who are big into their music and/or religious scenes.

2) I really don't think there's anything wrong with most of the new people who are registering on the site just so they can comment in the articles, weeklies and blog posts. I know the site is called "I-Mockery" 'n all, but there are some people who come here just to let the writers do the mocking and then they comment on it without the intention of getting into a flamewar with some of the other forum members. If there's not enough "mockery" in the comments of the site article threads for you, that's what the forums are for. However, if you feel inclined to "spice things up" in any given article discussion thread, by all means, feel free to do so... just be careful that you're not starting shit for the sake of starting shit and causing a thread to get completely derailed. These are permanent threads that are created for the sole intention of people discussing the article... not your issues with some other poster.

3) I'd be happy to bring back the Mock Wars once 'n a while, but as Chojin already stated, that forum went to shit long ago and I was all too happy to scrap it. Our big site redesign launch has really breathed a lot of new life into I-Mockery over the past few months and you're gonna continue to see some new faces. I have no problem with the forum members mocking each other, that kind of shit is to be expected on this site... just make sure you're not constantly trolling or stalking individual users from thread to thread. That's how discussions end up getting derailed.

4) If you guys have real suggestions for improving the forums, I'm happy to hear 'em. I don't post a lot in here these days because I'm extremely busy, but I still try to keep up with most of what's going on 'round these parts.

Pentegarn · #**121**

I like the gang/team idea as well. It would have to be watched closely of course, or as Chojin said, it could work out in the opposite direction as it was intended. I also like the infractions idea would help, especially within the team idea. Perhaps the team leaders are also part of the group of members who could give infractions so that they could drop infractions on members of their team who are repeatedly acting in a manner unfit for someone on a team.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a sports board added. Some of the best flames and smack I have ever seen come from sports discussion boards. There's something about sports (especially collegate sports) that brings out many peoples inner flaming troll (usually with entertaining results). Not sure how popular a sports board would be here though.

Guitar Woman · #**122**

I think the gang idea is stupid.

Fathom Zero · #**123**

I have a football thread going from time to time.

But you're forgetting that this place is a buncha nerds.

BTW, the Big Show totally kicked Jericho's ass, Chojin. Did ya see it?
