Sorry…didn’t realize your post also included the video, not just an album cover!

glad to be here. I have the same username over on the boing boing threads if you ever hang out over there. I still need to update my pic here to be something less generic and fill out my profile.

This place was started during a very ugly purge at the BBS thanks to, as we refer to him, Happy Fun Ball. As a result, some people here will never go back there, or in some cases aren’t allowed to (and not for good reason, but because he was being an even more colossal jerk than usual).
Basically everyone here was there at some point, but for some, this is now their home of choice.

Thanks, that explains it. I was getting worried recently that HFB might just shut down the comment threads over there, and Mark was behaving oddly, too, and was thinking how sad I would be to lose touch with all the regular mutants. So glad this place is here.

I don’t go there any more. It got…too weird, even for me. I like it here much better.

I didn’t even get banned. When Mel got a timeout over horseshit, imo, I was like, well I got tired of reddit for the same reason. Ads were necessary. Ads online are ridiculously abusive and tie into the moderation. Every independent server must make that choice. I’ma go over here. To this place.

welcome!
a little late, I know.
if you have any questions, our local regular moderator/daily admin, ChickieD is the most active board operator. we’re mostly self-moderated (after five years) and fairly low-pace – just like a favourite cafe.
we’ve made a few small tweaks to the forum software but under the hood it’s all Discourse.
my favourite ones are the ones we’ve added thanks to the community. (the logo is actually ChickieD’s artwork, vectorized).
we’ve also got easy, user-side blocking. (careful, though – unblocking involves deleting your site cookies)
and a smattering of themes that you can switch between, via the pancake menu

Welcome!
I also somehow missed your arrival.
I handle the infrastructure, and occasionally write overly long reviews about thoroughly mediocre movies.
As mentioned before, @ChickieD generously handles most of the moderation duties.
@tinoesroho handles most of the customization (CSS, themes, user blocking…)
I maintain an account at the other place, but mostly use it sparingly to like others’ posts.
I’ve heard it called the hamburger menu, but that is new to me. Is that, like, a Canadian thing?

I mean, pancake menu makes the same amount of sense as hamburger menu ¯\(ツ)/¯
Also, welcome, @ClutchLinkey!
