Wow! Thank you! I feel quite enlightened!

 

I'm not really a message board sort of a chap and have always thought of them as a way to generally spout bollocks. I know a lot of people i.e. people who use message boards seriously, and I've never quite understood it.

 

I enjoy just posting the most shocking, hopefully funny bollocks, that shakes up what I thought was a dull drabness. And hopefully someone might think, "Wow, this is different! This spices the place up a bit!".

 

If someone thought it was funny and saw what I was trying to do, then great. But basically, I saw it as an anonymous place to be outrageous and hopefully people would see what I was trying to do.

 

But no one ever has. I know not everyone would take to my sense of humour, but I thought someone out there might find it refreshing. But they didnt.

 

I've posted on a few message boards and usually get the same reaction I got with my first few posts on here.

 

However, I've read the links you posted above and suddenly I've had an immense moment of clarity. Whoever the author of the second link you posted is, they deserve the Pulitzer Prize. It entirely sums up everything a message board should be, not that I know, but I've seen it in my dreams, and I think I now understand the meaning of message boards amd hopefully this one.

 

I'm not ashamed of my first first few posts on here, and maybe with what I've said above, you can understand why I posted them. I will probably continue to be funnily shocking (or at least try), but I hope the substance of my posts will help counter-balance this.

 

I now feel ready to fully envelope myself in this new found realisation of debate forums.

 

Wish me luck!

Right. I've got another stupid question.

 

I've been reading through various documentation in relation to the usage of this site and I have learnt much.

 

However, there are loads of cool things I want to do that only "Premium" and "Legacy" members can do.

 

I know its probably staring (I said staring) me in the face, but how do you become one of the above?

I'm trying!

 

Have you read my thread " Catchy Thread Title"?

 

Does that stir up any opinions? Is that what I'm supposed to do? I'm trying to kick up a debate and I know a bit about that subject, so I'm welcome to any views, and ready to take them on!

 

Hopefully I can prove myself here!

This is now officially the Taffmeister's stupid question thread.

 

I've got another stupid question. I know, I know, I'm sorry.

 

In the top right of my posts I think there used to be a pic of scales. Its now turned into a yinyang karma thingy (which is cool cos I've a flaming yinyang design tattoed on my arm).

 

What does all this mean? Why and how did it change? What repercussions will there be? And what will be left of them?

 

I feel like Johnny 5. I'm learning all the time.
