The comedy of TFP - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

weezman · 10-12-2004, 07:20 AM

I have to say that I haven't ever posted to a BBS or MB or whatever you wish to think of it as. I have visited plenty of them, and I have to say no matter what the content or subject is, I have found one common theme: COMEDY. Not too long ago the boobie zone disappeared, and there was an outcry. Then the Admin came back to cry poor. Then the outcry for, "free porn". Now I just read a post from a moderator stating that you need to post to get your boobies. The discussions are comical. It sounds similar to the usual entertainer vs. entertainee encounter. However, I must say that people don't seem to argue here as much as they do elsewhere. Still, it is like a bunch of kids with their parents in a toy store at time. "I want that!" -"No you can't have that!" -"why not?!" etc etc. I can see the moderators point that the free boobie zone is expensive, but I can see that people would be upset that you sucker them into a place only to rip it away from them. I had to make my comment as this is my second favorite BBS/MB. I was always planning to post here, but waking up so early is hard to do. In the meantime, I was just wondering anyone else's thoughts on people taking the BBS/MB, too a level that it really never should be taken to?

--Cheers

Cynthetiq · 10-12-2004, 07:58 AM

we want community members that contribute to the community.

it's pretty simple, there's little humor in that.

I don't get you rquestion of "a level that is really never should be taken to?" what level is that? The Admins of a private site has the right to do as they see fit. The moderators follow the directives of the Admins.

Squishor · 10-12-2004, 08:29 AM

I see plenty of humor in the posts complaining about the boobies disappearing but as for the rest of what you wrote I'm kind of confused, especially the part about being "suckered into a place" and "taking boards to a level that it really never should be taken to." How is it being "suckered in" when there is no guarantee made that you will be able to come here any time and see naked people? Maybe it's because that's not the main reason why I'm here. If it's free porn you're looking for, just go to one of the gazillion free porn sites out there, right? But yes, I see plenty of comedy in the schoolyard dynamics involved.

ShaniFaye · 10-12-2004, 08:38 AM

I see lots of comedy in the people coming to a well managed, well populated, site and COMPLAINING ABOUT NO FREE PORN...actually no I dont, not anymore...its getting really boring and annoying reading post after post after post after post.....whens it gonna stoooooopppppp

Um...well...you nailed it on the head. When people only come here for the TB and nothing more, then complain that they have some sort of right to see their precious boobies, the mods and admins have no choice but to treat them like kids. It is like there is some unwritten human right to be able to see boobies with respect to some of the bitching and moaning I have seen.

There is so much more to this "private" site than just boobies. What I get tired of seeing is people who even have the balls to complain about the way the board is run and they have no donor tags in their profile.
(donating still doesn't give you power to complain, however)

Perhaps you could clarify this other level?????

canuckguy · 10-12-2004, 09:22 AM

the net is full of free porn at every corner, you can google your way through tits and dicks 24/7 365 days a year and never see the same tits twice. that is my porn. i come here for the people, the best board i've ever been on bar none.

Bill O'Rights · 10-12-2004, 10:32 AM

I grow increasingly weary of the incessant prattle brought forth by those that, for whatever reason, cannot, or will not, contribute anything to the community beyond lamenting the demise of the allmighty Titty Board. My patience is about at an end here. It's gone. Get over it. You want it back? Look beyond its loss, and start replying to threads other than "Bring Back the Titty Board", and viola...before you know it...there it is again. How much easier can we make it?

I think it's cool to be able to communicate with people that acutally understand sentences containing words like "incessant prattle" and "lamenting the demise". I don't know how humurous that is but I like it. If you want to see the globular pendants of womanhood spend a little time showing us that you are adult enough to appreciate them. Only infants get a tit for doing nothing.

P.S. Is this the conversation that never ends or what?

Remove the titty board and it's like lurkerhog day in here. All the lurkerhogs pop up out of their holes, shout "where are the boobies?" see the mammary shadow, realize there will be a long boobie drought, then pop back down into their hole.

That's what I find comical.

Yes.. Yes... I am always so tired... Sorry for my lack of clarity...

The "level" that I am referring too is as such: People take themselves and the things they are involved in.. WAY... TOO... SERIOUSLY... Now if you're getting paid to do it, I could understand taking it seriously. But, if you're not getting paid, then good god man just close the webpage and walk away. SHEESH...

I fail to see how my post was in any way a complaint about the lack of the free boobie zone. Seriously, its much more fun to make your real life a free boobie zone. I feel that is a more noble cause. My comment Mr. O'Righty (is that some version of O'Reilly?) was this (in simple terms that you may be able to understand): People complain about no pictures of breasts + Moderators that are drunk on BBS/MB authority = comedy

--I S-A-I-D CHEERS!

Anyone that chooses to spend countless hours debating issues on a MB/BBS instead of providing a real (meaning something that doesn't exist on the net but rather in the real world) solution for our planet and fellow human beings is a souless zombie anyways. What's youir point? Your philosphy is hollow. If your sole greatest achievement is to attract other souless denizens into a series of screens with amsuing text or thoughts of the day, then I really don't feel you have any grounds to appear morally superior in any way. Take a look ouitside that window, that's where your proving ground is. On here, your just a faceless person in the virtual crowd.... but alas I fall victim to my own comedy... ironic... I hope this thread can terminate now, seeing its already gone where I asked it not to. I said: "It's comedy when people take things too seriously."

Seriously, Halx do you not exist in the world? THe only reason tyou take money seriously is because other people seem to care about it a lot. When you make mistakes they tend to get very upset and try to spoil things for you. You must not exist in that place that people talk about. You know, that place thats bright, sometimes smells odd, lots of things moving around, sometimes referred to as "outside"...

Ok, you have been a member since 9/18 and in the 5 posts you have made to date, 4 of those are in this thread.

You start the thread by whining about the lack of the TB.
One post attacks one of our Super Mods and one of our favorite members. Bill o Rights.
One post calls TFP participants childlike, and "soulless zombies".
One post you attack the owner of this site.

Why are you here again?

bonehed1 · 10-13-2004, 08:58 AM

What is this thread about again? I got lost once I saw Cynthetiq's avatar....that is awesome....maybe Weezman should change his name to Whineman because that is all this thread is about it seems.

Fallon · 10-13-2004, 09:01 AM

Man, how stupid can he be.
Come on, give me a break. There's more here then the boobs.

See, now that I think about what he said, he pissed me off even more. How dare someone who doesn't do shit for the place besides leech off bandwidth and nothing else have the right to think he's a better person.
I've spent the better part of 4 years running an online game, spending over $1,000 on it, and god only knows how many hours on it just so some people can have a little fun and escape. And he claims something like that amounts to a whole load of shit. There aren't enough curse words to express how I feel right now...
//end rant
sorry for my incoherent rant, but that is getting old and more and more retarded. Grow up, shut up, or pay up damnit.
*walks off like a "soulless zomnie"*

Squishor · 10-13-2004, 09:08 AM

He contradicted himself anyway. First he said if it wasn't bringing in money, close the website and just walk away. Then he criticized Halx for taking money too seriously. He just wasn't that coherent in the first place and now he's gone. Oh well.

now that's comedy

maleficent · 10-13-2004, 09:30 AM

y'all are just so mean... heartless even -- making fun of a person who just doesn't get it

I'm appalled - shocked and horrified even...

How's this righteous indignation sounding? (probably be better if I could spell it correctly)

water_boy1999 · 10-13-2004, 09:37 AM

Should this thread be moved to the humor section because ya'll are cracking me up!!!

bonehed1 · 10-13-2004, 09:38 AM

LOL....I just noticed it was BannedMan after you posted that...

DEI37 · 10-13-2004, 09:46 AM

If they actually used the rest of the site as well, it wouldn't be so bad. I came in orginally for free tits and ass. Then wandering around the rest of the board...it's a good place. Sure, when it got reworked, and we lost our post counts, it sucked to not see what I'd had for free before, but I worked for it, and got it back. This site rocks, and the free tits and ass are just the icing on the cake...or the cream in the long john...you decide!

ShaniFaye · 10-13-2004, 10:02 AM

I go to this outside place...I swear I do....at 6 am to get in the car to go to work and at 330 pm to get in the car to go home.....isnt that enuff?

Averett · 10-13-2004, 10:05 AM

What is this "Outside Place"?

So apparently there's life outside of these internet walls? That sounds pretty scary.

water_boy1999 · 10-13-2004, 10:08 AM

Ok, so perhaps we should start another thread on this so called "outside place". This thread seems to keep on going....and going....and going......

maleficent · 10-13-2004, 10:10 AM

... Why do I feel like I am living in a Shari Lewis song...

This is the thread that wouldn't end.. yes it goes on and on my friends... People starting posting to it, not knowing what it was...and they'll continue posting forever just because...

Oh great -now I have earworm....

runtuff · 10-13-2004, 10:18 AM

Whew, had to sit down and read all this. What a great discussion. This is comedy with some very serious thoughts about life woven in, but then isn't that what comedy is all about. Stopping to laugh about a situation.

Glory's Sun · 10-13-2004, 10:51 AM

/me runs and hides from said outside place... make it go away.. make it go away!!!

Halx · 10-13-2004, 11:34 AM

Life *is* too important to take it seriously. That's what I've always said. However, when I say that, I am referring to one's own life. In my own philosophies, it is more important to leave a lasting good impression on the people aroung you, and that includes those on the internet, so that they will remember you when you're gone. Because when there is no afterlife, no heaven, no hell, the only way you will live on after you die is in the memories of others.

To claim what I've done here on the internet is not providing "a real solution for our planet and fellow human beings" is supremely ignorant. Yes, I may be tooting my own horn here, but none of this is opinion. Here people have come to be a part of a community, to enrich their lives with knowledge, discussion, friendship and entertainment. People message me daily to tell me how much they enjoy my site and how much it has helped them. My site has helped people find love. My site had helped people get in shape. My site has provided friendly, honest advice to people who are confused and in need.

If someone would dare claim that I have not helped this planet... this real world... in any way, I would venture that they themselves have not but lifted a finger to assist those around them. I would venture that they are logically incapable of said "moral high ground" specifically, but not only, because they fail to see the worth of the millions of hours that have gone into making this site what it is and has always been; awesome.

The real kicker here is that I'm not even done. In accordance with my philosophies, this site, while it has helped thousands of people, is peanuts in my grand scheme of things. I want to grow and expand. The logical step IS to spill out into the "real world" (as if, after a few decades of existence and all of the tie-ins, the internet isn't already "real") and help people with a more personal touch. I have a long life ahead of me though. If you expect a guy whose high school buddies are just now graduating from college to already be a martyr for society's wellbeing, then you've once again wandered into the realm of ignorance. In short, I do what I can with what I've been given. Rest assured, though, one day you will be hearing my name from a source other than your computer speakers. You may even be compelled to cast in a ballot with a mark next to it. Wont you feel like a jack ass then?

In the end, I can still laugh at myself. I can grin and admit to my various shortcomings. However, I will not clam up and make petty jokes when I'm called upon to help the people of my world ("real" or not) live their lives with more joy and enlightenment.

fin.

runtuff Crazy	Whew, had to sit down and read all this. What a great discussion. This is comedy with some very serious thoughts about life woven in, but then isn't that what comedy is all about. Stopping to laugh about a situation.

Halx Please touch this. Owner/Admin Location: Manhattan	Life is too important to take it seriously. That's what I've always said. However, when I say that, I am referring to one's own life. In my own philosophies, it is more important to leave a lasting good impression on the people aroung you, and that includes those on the internet, so that they will remember you when you're gone. Because when there is no afterlife, no heaven, no hell, the only way you will live on after you die is in the memories of others. To claim what I've done here on the internet is not providing "a real solution for our planet and fellow human beings" is supremely ignorant. Yes, I may be tooting my own horn here, but none of this is opinion. Here people have come to be a part of a community, to enrich their lives with knowledge, discussion, friendship and entertainment. People message me daily to tell me how much they enjoy my site and how much it has helped them. My site has helped people find love. My site had helped people get in shape. My site has provided friendly, honest advice to people who are confused and in need. If someone would dare claim that I have not helped this planet... this real world... in any way, I would venture that they themselves have not but lifted a finger to assist those around them. I would venture that they are logically incapable of said "moral high ground" specifically, but not only, because they fail to see the worth of the millions of hours that have gone into making this site what it is and has always been; awesome. The real kicker here is that I'm not even done. In accordance with my philosophies, this site, while it has helped thousands of people, is peanuts in my grand scheme of things. I want to grow and expand. The logical step IS to spill out into the "real world" (as if, after a few decades of existence and all of the tie-ins, the internet isn't already "real") and help people with a more personal touch. I have a long life ahead of me though. If you expect a guy whose high school buddies are just now graduating from college to already be a martyr for society's wellbeing, then you've once again wandered into the realm of ignorance. In short, I do what I can with what I've been given. Rest assured, though, one day you will be hearing my name from a source other than your computer speakers. You may even be compelled to cast in a ballot with a mark next to it. Wont you feel like a jack ass then? In the end, I can still laugh at myself. I can grin and admit to my various shortcomings. However, I will not clam up and make petty jokes when I'm called upon to help the people of my world ("real" or not) live their lives with more joy and enlightenment. fin. __________________ You have found this post informative. -The Administrator [Don't Feed The Animals]
