I am seriously going to stop poking at this but I’m on vacation right now so here’s the illustrated guide to the remaining “community” on Derp’s echo chamber. An X means they either haven’t posted since the dust-up or just posted their “peace out” message and left.

Out of the top-24 most liked - not most prolific, but most agreed with posters - only five remain who weren’t banned at some point. And four of them are either current or former board admin.

Do with that info what you will. To me, it lays bare the fact that this was never about the health of the community.

Hm, I do think some of those red X’s hadn’t posted quite a bit before the dust up, too. Can I make a request that maybe they be grey X’s, if they hadn’t posted in a while before the dust up?

I think technically, too, that Coin should have an X. He was unbanned but never went back.

I would also like an X; I went back just to post some corrections, but I posted a goodbye! (twice)

@KarmaBum lol I was like MAN how did I miss that because that of all bans would have been the most baffling of them all

Pyre is the mastermind behind all, lurking in the shadows and planning every move, every possible contingency, the Xanatos of text roleplaying game messageboards. Unfortunately, they were found out when they couldn’t resist flying about Tastes Less Game-y in a robot suit with glowing eyes and laser guns, which, to be fair, is understandable.

A couple days of AWOL and things go wild.

All I gotta say is I still think they are the ones trying to keep the dramas going. It seems like as soon as the subject of MSB starts to drop from here, they do something to stir it up again. I’m not saying the posts ‘finish’ but the conversations in them just wander off to jokes/a new direction.

So, to me they want to pad their board with posts by stirring up those that pay attention to both here and MSB.

Or

They are trying to prove they are the superior board by constantly pointing out ‘flaws’ of people on here.

Either way, to me, they come off as very much the more petty and unethical group for it. I don’t think I am really part of any ‘clique’ on either board. Except maybe with @Narson on account of knowing him forever and @Tributary . I don’t think I really know anyone else beyond the occasional chitchat with 'em. I could be wrong about not knowing people well because I’m bad at keeping in touch, no matter how much I like a person (this 100% includes family and offline friends), and ALWAYS forget how I know someone.

I don’t read most posts here but also don’t turn them off because I sometimes get caught in by the little snippet the ‘recent’ has of the latest post and want to see what it is about (which I regret because it takes me forever to figure out where it all started). I did the same on MSB.

It’s a little disconcerting to see myself with a big red X over me, like it’s a list of Known Associates who have been whacked.

FWIW, all you had to do was stop looking for 12 hours and MSB went fkn wild. I was bewildered last night. I remain bewildered this morning.

I don’t know. I have it on good authority that–

Ghost @ MSB

The current state of things is that whenever people from BMD get bored due to lack of regular victims over there, some unmanned ones come over here to try to stir up drama with no end result, then either get banned to get positive responses from their peers OR get bored, complain about this place being an echo chamber, and then hibernate until they get bored again because the usual targets aren’t over there.

I’m sure it’s our fault because we are–

Ghost @ MSB

…the flood of banned people (who have been stewing in a banned state)

This offends me. I never run out of victims, I’m not some amateur.

For those of us with lives outside of the internet, could someone give a CliffsNotes version of what MSB is accusing us of this time?

Third Eye

Hi, Ghost. I promise, I don’t want to go back to MSB or new MSB but unbanning so I can block you again would be nice.

Non-sarcastically, I read it, and I’m not sure either.

the same thing they accuse us of every time, pinky.

we get bored here, go stir up trouble there, because we are never happy unless we are mean girl bullying people. so without people here to bully, we have to go back to MSB to do it.

Testament

@Pavel I’m not going to go over there and look. But it seems Ghost’s nauseating superiority complex and preaching from his pedestal like he’s some kind of moral arbiter is a joke and has been turned up to 11.

But remember, he quit mushing.

Herja

They don’t need to import mean girl bullies. They have their own right there!
