The Hanna-Barbera episodes came earlier, and the Chuck Jones episodes came later. It's fairly easy to tell them apart once you know what you're looking for:

-The Chuck Jones episodes have the roaring lion opening that fades into the close-up of Tom's face impersonating the lion.

-The Chuck Jones episodes have a different, less detailed animation style.

-The Chuck Jones episodes are just flat-out not as funny.

Obi the truth is that having lots of moderation and tons of rules in place, will not make a very good online community. With too many rules and strict enforcing them, people dont feel at home. they feel like they are always being watched. with this site, it takes ALOT to get banned, or at least it did. i beleive jimbo was the first person to be banned and he reached like 3000 posts, and was around for about 6 months of complaining before he was booted. so i donno how you can say OT isnt a community, its more of a community then probably 90% of other forums out there.

p.s. i dont take nanner seriously, if i did then i would be sending pm's to the mods, but to date i havent.


What's not to take seriously? I presented my case clearly without any name-calling. I'm not sure how I could make myself any clearer on this.

But at the same time, what's to contact the mods about? I'm glad that, even though you say this is such a great community, I've been here nearly two years and yet you still consider me a simple troll.

Nanner, the entire point of a YAGE thread is to be annoying. It is the nature of the beast. There's nothing I can do about it. Just leaving is just leaving, and YAGEing is YAGEing.


You bring up a good point, though. You feel I look bad for refusing to participate in a discussion where I'm called "fucking moron" and such for whatever my actual views may be ... but I didn't get the impression Stinky was looking bad to anyone for calling me a "fucking moron" and the like. It's that perceived standard here that I find disquieting.

I'll laugh my head off at things like the Drama Queen photo. But being called a Fucking Moron is no less insulting and potentially inciteful of violence on the net than it is in real life. In fact, the safety of no punch in the face potential is what makes internet insults all the more pathetic.


.



You're missing my point. You're refusing to read Stinky's thread just because he calls you some mean names, and it basically is conceding defeat. He presents a strong argument, but because he tacks on something like "fucking moron" at the end, you immediately refuse to reply and instead resort to "Oh! You called me a mean name! I'm telling the mods on you!" It's just as childish as Stinky's posts, quite frankly, if not more so. The reason Stinky doesn't look as bad is that he presents his case, and then he argues his point (very vehemently, I might add), while you dance around the question and say "I'm not going to answer you until you play nice."

If you're seriously forty, then there is no way that this is the first time you've been called a "fucking moron" in your lifetime. Get over it.

Okay, seriously, Rob and Stinky just crack jokes at people they either don't like or find stupid, and some people, like you or Shimmy, fall for their bait and take them seriously, which just makes you look like more of a tight-ass. Personally, I think I have yet to read a post by Stinky that didn't make me laugh.

Oh, and by the way, Stinky was coming up with a lot of really good point, and your little holier-than-thou "I'm not going to respond to you unless you play nice" routine just made his argument look better because you weren't able to refute his claims. Basically, it looked like you couldn't come up with a reply, and just gave up, giving a stupid excuse for doing so.

So either quit being such a tight-ass, or just leave already. I never had a problem with you (in fact, I thought you were one of the better posters here), but you started to get somewhat annoying in the Pearl Harbor and just outright annoying in this thread.

My uncle gave me his huge vinyl record collection a few weeks ago, and it included "Axis: Bold as Love". Good stuff!

Ever put an old penny up your ass? Shines it right up.

I agree though, Rob is a real motherfucker.


That gave me a good chuckle.

Seriously though, if you wanna leave, then leave. Don't make such a big deal about it, because all we have now is another "I'm leaving/mod bashing" thread, and it's just kind of annoying.

But hey, whatever floats your boat, I guess.

I read the book and thought it was okay, but at the same time, I saw it for what it was: a fan-fic written by a D&D nerd. It's like these weird guys that sit in the corner of the library during break period every day playing Magic:The Gathering every day. A couple years after graduation, one of those little shits somehow gets a book published, and the rest of us think, "That little fucker wrote a book?!"
