Only on TFP...
Hey guys. I have come to realize, in perfect hindsight, that my earlier post could be construed to be rude. After all, TFP is a home to many of you, and my blatant use of this interactive tool as an interactive tool could be seen as disrespectful to those who revere the sites perfect ecosystem of polite disgruntledness. I have to say that I have been a member of this site for quite a while (coming on 2 years, not as idick) and have always loved its unique charm. However, I must say that I made the mistake of asking you not to post in the vain hope that my noob groupmates wouldn't get confused and start chatting up a random member. My bad. What I was hoping to be a collaborative environment (Post! And include all the Miss Piggy fantasies you want- the project is already pretty fucked up...), is right now a bunch of jokers trying to one-up each other with the same "kermit humping dog" .gif that's been going around since I was in middle school. Seriously. TFP. The jungle-gym of the supposedly adult world. I should've just named the thread "People Make Mistakes" and left it at that. At this point, please accept my apologies if my attempt at doing my job has offended you, and if a mod would please delete this thread asap, I would appreciate it. |

There's this teeny-tiny little interactive tool called myspace that allows can be set up to be only accessed by your "groupmates". And there are many, many other places to set up private "interactive areas". Going into a public forum and saying "don't post here", is about as realistic as going into Times Square and telling everybody to shut up because you want to have a private conversation. Oh, and why create a new username? Anyway, more muppet goodness:

Dude, starting a 'private' thread on a public forum is a dumbass move. Furthermore, doing so with a new account (which may or may not be against site policy, I'm not sure anymore) and no explanation whatsoever of who you are or why you would like to do such a thing is just plain disrespectful. How can you not get this? For the record, I've been a member for over three years, if we want to get into the membership-length dick waving competition. Not that this has any bearing on the topic at hand whatsoever, except insofar as to point out that you've been here long enough to know better. A cryptic thread about muppets that the general population for whom this forum exists are 'not allowed' to post in is just begging to be turned into a ridiculous .gif-a-thon. What you did here was equivalent to barging into my living room and asking me to please stay out while you and your friends do your project. It's my goddam living room. Get your own. So, yeah. We destroyed your thread. You had it coming. And that, as they say, is that.

idick, you've given me loads of happy in my otherwise drab little life.
So many decisions, so many thoughts. But I come here and get loads of happy. So you've done me some great good.

Actual Muppet Magic Project
Hey everyone,
I'd like for everyone to try and get the character development (they've been working on )posted on this forum by some point this weekend so that we'll all have a chance to look everything over before we meet again on Tuesday. Good luck writing your papers. Ciao! |

A thread where members can openly work together on a project wouldn't be such a bad thing would it? If the OP has taken a different tack (outlining the scope and goals of the project and inviting all members to offer their input over the course of the process) this thread could have been very fruitful. Perhaps it still can be. I'm curious about what they're really attempting to achieve and how they develop it. What's the Muppet Magic project all about?

If it was an open project, not for a grade, and invited members to join, I'm sure the reaction would have been different.

It's a shame you all have decided not to help out and post your characters .
