Put all your compliments here.

Complements also welcome but someone smarter than us might create a relevant thread.

We may or may not be intoxicated but let us just say, you lot have been good company especially roughbarked, Tau.Neutrino, dv, transition, Woodie, sibeen, sarahs mum, Bubblecar, Dark Orange, party_pants, Arts and anyone else we’ve missed winding back the posts in that list over there tonight.

Why thanks, assume I did well by being asleep most of the time.

I think you’re all great people.

It’s been a total pleasure to discuss topics with every one of you.

my m.o. is finding the smartest person around
& sitting next to them in hope of learning things.

take my hanging out here is itself complimentary

Nice forum, cb88

That’s great Mollwollfumble.

But I question your reasoning about politics and I have to fact check your sentences….

Nice forum, cb88

The complaints thread is the best thing ever. Well done.

It’s certainly an interesting aspect of this forum that we owe our existence to a shadowy entity – cb88 – of whom very little is known.

He/she doesn’t seem to post here and has never interfered in the activity of the place, except in extreme circumstances when we’ve had to request assistance in the removal of serious trolls.

So it’s fair enough to use this thread to say: слава cb88! слава героям!

Personally I rarely compliment people. You don’t want to encourage them.

Exactly, The LAB used enormous resources to try and keep us in check, they said we weren’t adult enough to look after ourselves and the bannings and the beatings.
Not adult enough indeed, well I say fuck the LAB and everything they stand for.

If this was the complaints thread, then I’d complain that that complaint was in the wrong thread, but it wouldn’t be.

So I’ll say nothing.

The LAB and the ABC dont know how to moderate, which I find perplexing. Comments were on then off etc, maybe train some editors to be professional moderators .

Apart from that the ABC is great, and they have a fantastic plethora of journalistic collective experience.

they were stuck between freedom of expression and the fact that anyone could access the forum.. so they had to keep the forum family friendly as well as returnable. And the ABC has advertising policy so the term freedom of expression was really up unto someone breaches our policy. But the bottom line is that it was their playground and they could do what they liked.

True, but it is supposed to be our ABC, not someone’s playground.

I think they sometimes forget its taxpayers money that pays their wages.

Id like to see comments return, it offers a way for ordinary people to have a say and with that comes diversity of opinion.

Diversity of opinion is healthy and progressive and can offer insights not normally found elsewhere.

ABC radio have a lot of callers who comment on things. I find this very good.

But your right, other people run our ABC.

I can only tell you about human bodies after they die.. I’m not a medico, I’m a criminologist… You need to rely on OCDC for medical stuff, and Pork is good for medications too…

You really need a much more reliable consultant for the bullshit detection.

Yes, I’ve been off my game for BS detection for about the past year.
Who is the best BS detector on the forum?
You may have noticed that I enjoy playing devil’s advocate on occasions?

I’m only interested in human bodies after they die.
I’m married, so am not permitted to take any interest in live bodies.

Pork? Do you mean Poik?
