Well that's good, a beer revue would make it then! WRT the thread idea, in seriousness, one thing I'd like is a 'master-thread' or a 'sub-sub-forum' stickied in probably General Discussion with the top 50 (100?) all-time threads listed in descending order (by replies, not views). Make it visible, give newbies a sense of what the humor is (because, to be real, I love our humor here) and give a sense of the knowledge here as well. Plus, some real, old-time internet goodness with threads like "Apple made me a billion dollars because I'm on Adderall" or whatever that shit was. GOLD. The macgeek_v? stuff was legend. Quag's growth from an angsty young lad to someone who models in front of airplanes. We have a ton of funny shit buried out there. Some drama too, which is fun in small doses. Anyway that's one idea. It'd be fun for new members to get a jist of it here and old members to laugh again at the crazy. So it goes. Last edited by 709 : 2019-06-26 at 19:18. |

This got me wondering whether to make a new post in AO or put it our existing Beer Thread™. Then it got me thinking about how we have a lot of good interest-threads that span years. Like the Listening To? thread, the Movie thread, etc. The Photography was always a great. I don't know if you revive or revise, honestly. I wonder if it's possible to put a [code]blipblarp[|code] in these kind of threads once a month or so so they pop to the top of their subs.
So it goes. |

I'll contribute to a drunken golfing something if there's any interest. (I know there isn't)

I think we need some of those flashy noise making animated ads. We missed out on that boat and it seems like that’s when things started to go downhill. There just wasn’t anything here to keep your attention.

Dang, Kick, it’s good to see your name pop up after way too long!
Just couldn’t stay away, could you? It’s our handsome good looks, I know! Hopefully all is well with you. This joint needs some of the old timers to weigh in. Spill their guts. Yell a bit! Edit: Also, we would appreciate your two bits. You were here in the beginning and have as much insight as any of us. So, seriously, what's kept you away? Life? Better social media prospects? We'd really like to know, and we'd like to hear your thoughts as to making AN relevant, again. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

Life, Facebook, the pursuit of contracts...
Divorced, remarried, two boys (18 and 21) quit my job, got a new one, quit that one, started a consulting firm, formed a new corporation with some colleagues, been generally causing trouble and HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE TIME. Uh, I mean... not much. Seriously, just went off the deep end of busy. lol But *seriously*, I jetted in the election run up. The ol' place devolved into a few freakishly misinformed folks driving the narratives in almost every damned thread. I gave up on it being resolved for the better, had better places to piss people off and watch friendships dissolve under irreconcilable differences. lol |

And, Kick, your comment brings up a very good point. In asking why you are elsewhere and not here, I hadn't even thought of the political angle. Yet, I know that Scates disappeared around the same time, as did others. I think that means something. Politics kills friendships quicker than anything else. While I won't go down the "no politics here" road (it has it's place, at least) I do believe civil conversation can be had in other areas. Thus, I have stayed around while avoiding the left/right debate. Seriously, we miss you around here, and I'm sorry you felt pushed away. You were a driving force, and the vast majority of our membership respects you. Come around once in a while. Share some thoughts.

Eh. I don't remember any friend<vs>friend drama too much... maybe a few harder pokes than normal. Maybe the political leanings got a little more apparent, sure. I'd hope that we knew each other wellish enough over the previous decade to not take supposed intention too seriously. Shit, that's what destroyed the community over at AI. Political Outsider from the very beginning was a cancer, but a delicious cancer for some of the more combative. That kinda happened here on a much more mellow and mature scale, a sliver of posts notwithstanding.
So it goes. |

Theoretically, we're color blind in here. Yet, if we passed each other in an empty hallway we wouldn't have a clue who the other was. That said, I think "friend" might have a different meaning "in here" than "out there".
Serious question: Are invisible internet "friends" the same as visible IRL "friends"? I'm not sure they are, and I think I'll have a difficult time articulating that. I suppose it's why it can be so easy for people who posted on this board for 15-ish years to just walk away and never post again. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet.

IME, it really depends on how much you interact. Having common conversations on a public forum with hundreds of others around isn't that much interaction. |

Definitely true. I would be curious if there is a psychology study on the matter. - AppleNova is the best Mac-users forum on the internet. We are smart, educated, capable, and helpful.

I, uh, moved to New Zealand if anyone happens to be in the area and wants to grab a beer.

I've been following that on Twitter and was wondering if you actually moved there permanently.
Good luck with the move. |
