I think we can be a forum that doesn't do the "first/get" thing - we can be better than that.

I get that 5000 is an impressive number but still...

I see it more of a "woah, we've posted 5000 times. congrats, guys!" sort of thing.

It's cruft. Fun, but pointless. Like this thread itself. So don't sweat it. But it is useful to keep threads on topic, and that's hard if people are saying "first!" or "5000th post!" or stuff like that.

If I notice getting a post like that, I just edit it in as a sidenote :P

It's a lot more fun in megathreads in yack fest.

Like for one of the big numbers in the LGBT thread me and a few other people organized a race. like 2 pages of us all just shit posting until someone got it, and then congratulations all around.

...whether or not that was a good idea is something I'm now considering.

Anywho, since this ISN'T yack fest, we should probably get back on subject.

Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.

Karkadinn's reminder that some things aren't "perks".

I frequently disagree with him, but here the sentiment is not only dead on true, but it's expressed in a way that makes it easy for anyone to agree with it.

Flanker 66' take on how the UK leadership is justifying it's blocking of porn on the net.

For all to see:

A bedroom, somewhere in Scotland. David Cameron paces fretfully from one corner to the other while Flanker looks on.

Cameron: You want answers?

Flanker: I think I'm entitled.

Cameron: You want answers?

Flanker: I want the boobs!

Cameron: You can't handle the boobs! Son, we live in a world that has firewalls and those firewalls have to be guarded by moral guardians with report buttons. Who's gonna do it, you? You, Mister Flanker? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom! You weep for TV Tropes and you curse the Ministers! You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know! That TV Tropes's blocking, while tragic, probably saved children! And my policies, while grotesque, and incomprehensible to you, saves children! You don't want the boobs because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that firewall! You need me on that firewall! We use words like 'Morals, ' 'Codes of Conduct, ' 'Sensitivity'! We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline! I have neither the time, nor the inclination, to explain myself to a user who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very protection that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said 'Thank you', and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a blacklist, and stand at post! Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Flanker: Did you order the search filter?

Cameron: I did the job you sent me to do—

Flanker: DID YOU ORDER THE SEARCH FILTER?!

Cameron: YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I DID!

Ah, I am deeply honoured. I am glad that it was good enough to be considered for a MOFW. grin

For extra fun, try to visualise the scene in your head, perhaps with the Prime Minister slamming his hands down on a desk or other convenient object when you get to the last line.

To provide extra context, Britain's going to institute a filter of 18+ material - and since it was initiated by Mr. Cameron, it's his responsibility. Hence the hastily edited quotes from A Few Good Men.

Woo, another complaining thread down!

Back to the subject of this thread, this post speculates on what will happen to Tumblr should the Internet be banned. It's gotten two medals too.
