Groundhog's Random Banter of Weather Prediction and Anti-Gopherness #120
Random Banter!!!
For everything you want to talk about, but don't want to start another thread for. Also for completely random things that you feel the need to share with everyone. And maybe even some discussion of these random things--I think that's a good idea, how about you?
That being said, there are rules. Which are laid out below. If you are not familiar with them, please read them. If you are already familiar with them, fine, don't, it's your choice. (But you'll only have yourself to blame if you forget one of the rules and accidentally break it. )
Rules
Spoiler
1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.
2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".
3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.
4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.
5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."
6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."
7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.
8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.
9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.
10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.
11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.
12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.
13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.
And here, linked for your convenience, are the previous incarnations of this thread.
Previous Threads:
As stated above, this thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. That is to say, this is a forum, not your IM client. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat.
Now start talking!

Sure, as long as they're here now.
Of course. It was a very entertaining movie. Of course, there have been many ripoffs of it since then, which should give an idea of how popular it was.
Re: Groundhog's Random Banter of Weather Prediction and Anti-Gopherness #120
I had to do some really tricky stuff we don't use very often. It's not easy to do and there's no need except for jokes (like this one) and serious moderation.

Nope! It should be exactly the same as the other. The link to part a is in my post.

Okay, Mrmud doesn't have the time to post in Relationships Woes and Advice thread, and needs feminine opinion within like five minutes... Anyone have time for a quick question on MSN AIM or even PM ?

Yes, unfortunately I don’t know anything about relationships because I’ve never been in one.

Well, she'd definitely be amused to find out that people ship relative strangers that they know on the internet. Repeatedly. For seven threads. In many different situations, in amazing plots and things.
Also possibly a bit disturbed too.

Why does Nameless wear pants underneath those robes?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Well she reads a lot of fanfiction, including RPS, so it's not like it would be a completely alien concept to her...
On a different subject, I just realised that this Groundhog Thread must surely have astounding implications for the RB time loop.

RPS?
Heh. Perhaps the Shipping threads and the OOTS threads over in A&C'd encourage her to join.
Stranger things have happened you know.
A whole weekend of pure sunny, warm blue skies all over Britland for starters.
The time loop . . . my theory has finally been proven correct! It's so persistent even the threads are rehappening!
Flee before the black hole manifests itself, wipes out the internet and emerges from the screen over every internet using thing everywhere!
Poor time loop. This has thrown it.
Now: to meticulously integrate into this thread every single thing that suffers from the RB time loop.
So.
How about that math/science premise/Harry Potter/LoTR/weather eh/[name of movie]/music lyric war between dragonprime and Mr.mud/cute and amusing itp Family anecdote/university tale/exam/awesomeness of Rawhide's internet skills/meme about [insert name of Playgrounder]/book discussion/deities itP/English discussion/spelling quibbles/[language] is best/eccentricity?
