Whether it was a blind invite or not is invalid since we all have the free will to stay or go. |
I was a member of CU for about a 2 weeks-ish, the second I saw someone type out
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! !1"
I knew that it was time to leave.
Don't like the way 1 channel is run? Simple: /Chan_leave
But theres no use floggin' a dead horse.
The BMT and CU "debate" is goin' to rage on until we get made into batteries by our own Robot servants.

This subject needs to put on the list of bannable subjects on this server.
As far as the CU being full the first week I came back as a mod I used the /command to clear out the channel set to a 7 day limit and it was still full. Have done it several times since then, and it is still full. So its full with currently active playing members.

Could also be a difference between British/American English.

Someone using a word incorrectly doesn't mean they're innovative and changing language. It means they're using a word incorrectly. If enough people are as stupid as they are, it may catch on, like what happened with peruse.
It's true that words are entirely man-made so we mess with them as we see fit, but the definitions of words not being entirely fluid is important. You know, for communication. Especially when the word being used incorrectly is a dumbing-down of the original use, the new use being something covered easily by other words. The reason words with specific meanings exist is because we require them to describe specific things.
Language is a flexible and organic thing. Words can and do change meaning, but it requires widespread use and a lot of time. Professional isn't one of those ones yet. Nor does it have different meanings for American and British English.
The argument that a word means whatever you want it to mean only holds up in poetry.

'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.
