That is amazing.

I think you are taking this a bit too seriously.  Personally, I  am taking that link/idea with a very large grain of salt (and a giggle).

Still, the idea of it is funny.  Considering everyone has a generally different opinion of funny/intelligent vs. stupid (especially on the internet) I can't see how that could work effectively anyhow.

We can all dream though.

I was actually thinking of making a "High Street Killfile Browser" modeled after the old "Horse-Free" browser I did for Cruel.com a few years ago.  But I would think there is already a killfile option for this board that just hasn't been implemented yet.

Nah, not that seriously. I figure the knowledge that hacks already exist for that sort of thing will suit whoever needs them, not necessarily HS.

Ha! a stupidity filter for VB! Oh that's beautiful! It would recursively delete itself and everything else causing the end of the world!

Some would argue that social networking sites do that admirably, just as they're designed.

oops, you meant vBulletin didn't you? now I need a stupidity filter.

Or some boardware that comes with an "Ignore" option for specific users or entire groups. I'm still not sure why we keep having new threads to discuss a decrepit boogeyman who's not even around. It's like he's scarred you all for life and you keep worrying that he's every n00b shadow in the corner.

"N00b shadow?"  Now, where have I heard that term before?  Eh, Pale?  Or, should I say, CleaningLady?

I can appreciate that, more than you may yet know. Online "personalities" (studying, not inhabiting them) are something of a sideline for me. People always complain how little gets communicated by text, in a forum, email, or IM. It's amazing that literature has lasted so few millennia. Individuals like that thrive on the discomfort of others, but are usually too weak to move on to other pastures. If they're truly around for years, then they're running on the fumes of fear and reputation alone. Sort of a scarecrow, alone in the field, to jangle at the noobs.

Not unless you've been huffing Pine-sol. I'm too arrogant to pretend to be anyone other than myself, and insufficiently ball-less to keep tormenting a single community once I've been shown the door. I don't need sock puppets and I can usually take hints (what I do with them is another matter). But if you transfer me to another owner in violation of the adoption contract, I'll eat your slippers.

Uh, I never said that.

You're right, sorry. My head's spinning in too many different directions. That was pALEPHx and I fixed it. This place will get most of my focus and attention next week
