When the portal was fun.

No more raising using a mouse for me!

i recall when, once coxy was off the fucking air in the morning, you had mayo (who, while a cock, was from my alma mater so i'll give him a pass), whiley, mark and lard and then moyles, and then lammo in the evening followed by peel?

now it's the reverse. you've got moyles in the morning who's still ok, and then epic gobshites in fearne cotton, greg james, scott mills and then, after allowing zane a couple of hours, nick grimshaw? what the fuck is that?

so i frequent another site that has a heavily trafficked sporting events forum. now obviously this time of year sucks, as baseball doesn't get interesting for another month or so, it's nba offseason, football hasn't started yet, soccer only just has, and who cares about hockey.

question is what do we do when bored? well, we take a concept that we've done for most sorts, namely a huge fantasy draft thing (have done them for NBA, NFL and NHL modern era, as well as a couple of soccer ones), and make them ridiculous.

first we have a "sporting events poster" draft which is basically a huge circlejerk about how good we all are at poasting.

now, just started is a "modern era animal draft", where any animal that's lived since 1978 is eligible to be picked, it's split into five weight classes, you pick two from each and they're involved in 2 on 2 cage matches to the death.

jesus christ, can football start already.

I normally hate to make more than one post on a similar subject in a small amount of time, but I feel the need in this case.

Jamoke = worst mod ever.

I almost felt the need to tell him (assuming it's a bloke) to tell him exactly why he sucked via PM

butnahhhhh

- on sunday i make a thread on usain bolt breaking the 100m world record. it gets a few posts.
- on thursday i bump the thread after he breaks the 200m world record.
- some guy makes a duplicate thread LITERALLY TWO SECONDS after I bump the old one
- my thread is obviously the one that gets nuked

jesus, you can't work out which one was first? and that, with the same time, his is just a crosspost and not needed? i guess it's that new guy jamoke, who i have never heard of before today, who obviously didn't read the "less locky, more deletey" post given the swathe of red tanks at around the same time.

so somehow the american football thread got fagged up enough that 100+ pages of it needed to be completely deleted, rather than picking out the actual problems. gg.

i actually have no idea what caused it, but this is hilariously bad modding. i don't even know whether mods are now able to delete old threads or whether they need to get an admin to do so. if it's the latter, then wow. just wow. sounds like an "we have an ingrowing toenail, i know how to solve it, let's amputate your leg"

FF draft is tonight in case anyone is reading btw.

well, it took nearly nine years, but they finally got round to it. i'm just curious given that it has less than three views per day who actually got round to voting for the thing enough to delete it.

4582 is the flash in question, it has a rating under 2 and an average review score of 1.5. i think my review was an accurate representation.

5 legs, averaging 42. If I was twice as good and could sustain that over 9 legs, I'd probably be the US #1.

Fun times.

seriously. it's warm, but ridiculously humid at the same time, and has been threatening to epically piss it down for a week or so, without managing to do so for more than half an hour, necessitating a coat should i go somewhere. which is ridiculous.

it also means that i've been drinking more beer. woo.
