Slight BBS change

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2003-01-11 09:01pm

Just for fun, the word "user" has been replaced on the front page with "flamewarrior". "Hidden" users are now "Cloaked" users, and "Guests" are now "Lurkers". Just FYI.

Noticed that today, thought I had just been blind and this wasn't new at all so I decided to not seem foolish and put up a thread asking about it.

I noticed it just a few seconds back while I was surfing the index. I think it sounds kind of lame. But that's just my opinion.

Hadn't noticed that yet, but I did think I'd gone crazy when I saw the Pure Star Trek forum pop up. Screw with my mind, will ya?!

Makes a nice touch and gives a more "personal" touch to the place.

Just an idea. SB.com has a few other changes that make the place fun.

Rather then "Welcome to Spacebattles Alyeska", it says "Oh, its you again Alyeska".

Rather then "Weclome our newest member, (insert name)", it says "Get the poking stick out for (insert name)"

Just saying you can have a little fun and play with the sayings.

I noticed that, Mike. That's a great way to add a little variety to the board.

I like that. Maybe ours should be "It's Poking Time for <Insert Name>!!!

They say that on SB.com when a newbie registers e.g. "Get out the poking stick for: TacticalUK"

Two things: We should come up with something snappy for registered users.

Second: don't do poking. That's what they have over at SB.com. We must be original. We are the better board, after all.

Why not just thwap instead of poke?

Because the BotM has laid claim to that ritual.

Post by **Darth Wong** » 2003-01-11 11:59pm

Well, I altered it, but suggestions are welcome.

Ahh. I see, I forgot we did that.

Considering the caliber of most of the newbies who've arrived here lately, I'd go for shooting rather than poking.

In an earlier "no poking" thread, Stravo suggested butt-pluggings instead. Can't you just see the look on some poor son of a bitch's face when "Get out the butt plug for Mike_6002" pops up on the screen?

Yes, that'd be a great newbie deterrant.

EDIT: <sarcasm>

ROTFLMAO!!! That's hilarious! Any other ideas?

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2003-01-12 12:10am

The smack down is perfect. That's the shit that goes on here, 'Look out, Mike's laying the Imperial Smack Down!'. So it's only fitting.

We could always *SPANK* new users...

...and no, not the fun kind

Cal Wright · Post by **Cal Wright** » 2003-01-12 12:38am

We will not hesitate to 'spank' the unruley ones.

"Mortimer! Get the red hot poker for...."

For those who don't get this, read up on the death of English King Edward II.

How about "charge up the cattle prod?"

Or get out the lightsaber?

Same here.

I'd like to shoot a few of them in the balls with a blaster.

When it says COLIN GET A LIFE

ill be concerned

If it says "Sheppard we know where you live" I'll have figured things either got funny, or went too far.

The Dark · Post by **The Dark** » 2003-01-12 02:20pm

What would be cool is an insult ninja style thing that flips through different sayings (like "Colin, get a life" or "Shep, we know where you sleep"). Of course, we'd need more sayings, so feel free to ignore this idea
