The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

[Pascal]

So far no reaction to my post from Matt or DH:

Dear Matt,

I'd really like to post on Newsarama again but I feel much more at home in "the other place" (which is called The Outhouse, by the way. Yes, I say it! The Outhouse! Edit me all you want!). Everyone from long ago is there and it's much more like the Newsarama board used to be when you were running things. It even has an "old school" skin which is in a familiar blue and made my heart jump when I "switched it on".

Do you understand why most of us don't want to come back? We've found a new home! This newsarama forum is cold and lifeless compared to the Outhouse, imo.

And why is it forbidden to link to other forums? We always did in the old days. Hell, people post everwhere nowadays anyway. It's not like we're doing it for any money. No, we're doing it because we are fans. But then we get treated like trolls.

Matt - why don't you join the Outhouse, too? Maybe that would be the one thing that would make the old guard return. They'd made it for you. Not for imaginova.

(I'm expecting to get heavily edited or deleted. Or warned.)

Yeah, it is rather conspicuous that Matt made his post and vanished again. Not that I expected a real back-and-forth from him but I figured he might respond in some way to the appeals directed at him. Of course this is just supposing in my head, but I wonder how he took having a monkey wrench thrown in the thread almost immediately? If it were me I would feel very irritated. Despite his dangling the possibility of the site returning to a less Draconian style of moderation, every other post from the ptb indicate greater restrictions and word-by-word editing of posts.

and word-by-word editing of posts.

DH even thinks this is a good alternative to deleting. You won't complain if you don't know that posts get censored.

Bad way to run a place.

I posted something similar, but not as inviting a few days ago.

Basically, post this thread at the outhouse thats where everyone is.

You know that, I know that, I bet nearly everyone here agrees. Why the heck has it gone almost unremarked over there? Well, so few people can/will log in and post there almost everything has gone unremarked. Well, that and the User Talkback board disappeared. Not that it matters to me, I'd never post there again, it's just I am baffled at why the people left there would?! Their continued passivity has so far paved the road to hell. I'm not sure what they see there that is left to lose. They should act up.


There is no way I would ever post on a board with ptb that crow about the new editing tools and begin using them immediately to hide things. It is a new low I thought beneath even them over theres.

WTF? Why are the avatars on the wrong side?

It's the Mirror Universe version of NuRama.

Soon you'll see MattB with a goatee and dh with an eyepatch.
