It is the name of a nonsensical player that holds sway over some other nonsensical players causing them to post repetitive annoying dribble on the forums to increase their post counts for no real purpose than to occupy time.

Trans no one is purposely ignoring people. The conversations move kind of fast, and sometimes comments get overlooked. We do try to welcome people as best we can though. If a hi doesn't get a response please don't take it as any kind of slight, it's an honest mistake.

It is a moot point and your response while a nice attempt at pacifying the issue but that does not change what has been obsereved repeatedly by several people.

The Rookery is pretty damn pointless. And in view of the mods recent statement about pointless threads taking up too much of the internet, the Rookery should be canceled to make room for yet another thread in which the less-literate and more guilty farmers and antifarmers can aimlessly defend themselves or attack each other in ways that make even semi-sentient adherents of either side blush and facepalm.

Truly without he rookery what would we post?
i know
we can start a new thread explaining the intrinsict mechanics of each and every powerset on the TA of choice!
also we can talk about how something is roleplay or not roleplay!
/yawn
/sarcasm

Honestly... what we are now with a different name to it. -shrugs- it's all relative.

>.> I wasn't aware I needed a specific thread or reason to post fluff. And I know a lot of other posters on various boards that have the same general mindset.

A centralized place to get it all out and have fun doing it? Sounds like a plan to me... and at least it's not as ridiculous as some of the other pointless threads on these boards (City Life seems to be a magnet for it lately).

EDIT: To emphasize - Why can't we be friends? It's just a forum.

If it keeps the fluff out of all the other threads, I'm all for it.

[/ QUOTE ]

That would require most of the fluff posters to A) be on Virtue, B) get along, and C) agree to consolidate it all into once place.

Statistically unlikely.

I've gotten more teams from Rookery threads than farming ones.

Carlin's ideas about stuff/crap apply to forums as well. If a post is yours or your friends'...it's content. If it's someone else's, it's fluff. Meh. There are alot more pressing things to be concerned about than forum fluff.

((You know, when you think about it, this is a game forum and games are pretty fluff to begin with. So people who play games and complain about people wasting their time with fluff are pretty silly. ))
