The Episode VII forum. They locked my brilliant thread.

Anonymous lock, too... so ****ing annoying.

I sense another comic cover, @JoinTheSchwarz.

I do indeed hope so!

I read a Cracked.com article about an island with something like 9 snakes per square meter covering the entire island.

What about trapped in powerless, debris-strewn east coast USA with a Star Wars fan who has been alerted to the fact that there will be another movie but has no internet access due to the 'powerless' bit near that beginning of this sentence? That would win, right?

They think things are bad til they get net and go to the VII forum. Then they see true terror.

The correct answer is: a swing state (unless you were lucky enough to lose power)

Let there be no doubt as to the most terrifying place on earth... earlier, someone posted this there:

I_Died_Once said:

I first came to this forum somewhere before Episode 2 came out, lurked much during the anticipation of Episode 3. Haven't really been back since then. One of the first thoughts to hit my mind when I heard the news earlier this week was how nazi-like and strict the moderators were during those times about silly things like starting a new thread when there might be a discussion already started, getting all upset and bent out of shape over nothing really... Maybe the guard has changed, don't know or care, but I get a slight bit of pleasure when I think of all the influx of new traffic that might not adhere to the "strict standards" as set forth. I imagine those mods as being upset at the news, as it'll ruin these precious forums and their organization. Stupid, I know, but I would read the admin's upset comments, berating new users for the most minor of infractions and just laugh at the pointless bickering. I might have to make a point to return just to read the butthurt in action.

I mean, someone would start a thread about something to do with, say, Chewbacca... and along comes an upset poster mad because you didn't reply to a 48 page thread all about Chewbacca. I really hope this forum has moved beyond such silliness since then. But I still get a kick out of thinking about all the new people that will eventually come by and *gasp* START A NEW THREAD!!! I can see some nobody, reading the news and thinking "****************"

Ramza Edit: I realize you're quoting but that needs to be starred out.

The Get in Line thread is good, as always. I'm enjoying that one... but have no desire to speculate with a bunch of pimply faced fanboy noobs.

lmao, I remember being chewed out by a mod here for just that a long time ago. To this day whenever I go to any forum, my instinct is to avoid creating any new thread if at all possible and to look for existing topics to see if they match or are related to what I want to discuss. If there is no such topic, then I'll create my own. I think I even had a mod from another forum once tell me that I should have created a new topic for my question rather than posting it in a marginally related thread.

Syria/Afghanistan are the obvious choices, but I'd say the middle east in general considering the unrest in Bahrain and the perennial skirmishes between Israel and it's Islamic neighbours.

However, despite the facade of relative peace and prosperity, America post the NDAA bill passed on New Year's Eve is a different, but equally terrifying prospect.

Yet I'm not sure what's more terrifying...
The most potent army in Human history high-jacking the meaning of 'terrorism', as a hall-pass around the Geneva Convention..
Or that all these things seem lost under a sea of political rhetoric and societal somnambulance.

Do not mess with the telescreens patriot, lest your name be Bradley Manning.

"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak(NDAA) is to narrow the range of thought? Has it ever occurred to you... that by the year 2050, at the very latest, not a single human being will be alive who could understand such a conversation as we are having now? The whole climate of thought will be different. In fact, there will be no thought, as we understand it now. Orthodoxy means not thinking, not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness" - George Orwell, 1984

So, in short, you voted "Episode VII forum".

Doesn't Somalia hold a pretty firm grip on the "worst place on Earth" title?

The Episode VII Forum is Somalia? That explains a great deal.
