...yet not a penny for the proper fucking use of apostrophes.

Then here's my two cents: For a first effort, it is better than average, but as something that strangers might see--which represents all of us--do you think that misspellings and punctuation errors should be part of their first impression? (even if the 'errors' are consistent and/or intentional)

Banner displayed to registered users. This post does not represent an invite for a spate of lolspeak.

That banner, the cunt punch, isn't actually running as a banner. Pale made it for shits and grins.

Cunt-punching is kosher, but an errant apostrophe is out?

...It occurs to me that these two rules in conjunction are the best nutshell description of this place I've ever heard.

Yes, you are one of us.

But don't worry. It's nothing that a little tetracycline won't clear up.

I'm still actively gauging this 'mood' of which you speak. You seem to be of the belief that others actively participate (when not complaining about something deleted).

I meant the mood of the Banner Czar.  To put it more directly, it's fine by me if you move older banners to "not shown" status to make room for newer ones, even if they're still goodies.

That'd be my recommendation, as well. For the time being, we seem to be churning out enough of them there's little reason to keep running the earliest ones. I have my favorites from that period - including several of yours - but it's nice to see newer ones more often.

Mkay. I will take another run thru them this weekend, probably after a cocktail or three. Such a mood altering moment tends to make me more generous than usual (it's only at the bitter end of the bottle that I'd just delete every other thing outta spite, so I'll be sure to be feelin' more lively).

Instant classic, Taint.

love yours too, Pale-what's up with you guys?

Wow, you have been busy. Thanks for wading through all those.

Yer welcum. I would have posted the BBcode table for the day's work, but it was taking forever to copy/paste.

And, for the record, that apostrophe in my banner was intentional, designed to lend some authenticity.

Credit phoQ.

Question: Is Mister Penishead here beyond the Pale?

This banner currently isn't displayed, but I don't know if that's out of propriety or what.

Since I don't appear to have any control whatsoever over sidebanner pics, then yes, it's beyond the Me.

It was displayed. Now it's not. You're not really asking me to explain each decision, are you?

This helps put things in perspective.

That one would be an example of "members only" display. We really don't have as many as we did, and I didn't want people to think I'd just scrubbed everything clean for some arbitrary reason. As for the dildo/vibe one, it's among the last of the stretched out, lower res pics we have with practically illegible writing. Feel free to redo it if you can improve on Dhal's handiwork.

Putting myself into the mindset of the kind of bluenose idiot who would get offended and complain, I guess I gotta say yes.  But he's SO cute...

I edited the list of patently offensive images for my local audience - Massachusetts, for fuck's sake - and still got squeals of horror. So yeah, thanks guys, my own tastes are now jaded beyond recognition. For these purposes - 'Watch me top that!' - I've all but given up.

Not that I really give a shit but I suspect we're beyond redemption or the sensibilties of the most stalwart of advertisers.

Remember, it's only the hard-core wackadoos who actually sit down and type out their outrage.  An even smaller minority actually hit "Send."  You usually never hear from the folks who get a laugh out of it.

Since advertisers are irrationally sensitive to the missives of outraged wackadoos, I suspect you are right.

Come on. Would you admit anywhere but here you enjoy this stuff?

Well, I did take a stab at recruitment a goodly while ago, on a site where the commenters have better-than-average erudition and many of them have a fairly warped sense of humor.

Unfortunately, either nobody there took the bait, or else they did come, and looked around and then fled (presumably in horror) when they saw what goes on here.

...Actually, that may mean that you have a point.
