I believe that 234-6 was actually just a lurker. He found Off Topic and became a super fan of “As The Death Star Turns”, then decided to come in and cosplay as a random new member. It’s not unreasonable, we are pretty entertaining.
As long as no-one reveals the true ident of that account and/or if it matches the IP of anyone here or a known troublemaker previously banned, all conjecture is just conjecture.
It doesn’t match the IP of anyone around here or a known troublemaker, as Wook told me after I asked.
I think we should have a petition to change “Off Topic” to “Moron-a-Thon”.
Let’s just let this thread die, if the community has deemed it unworthy.
God forbid I express my opinion to the member instead of just ignoring it until it goes away.
Look, I’m okay with reasonable feedback. I’m okay with people disagreeing with me. What I don’t agree with is that a number of you feel it’s okay to tell me to bug out, that I’m the issue, while we have other members who keep antagonizing the situation. Where is your advice to them? Keep fucking with Fo? Fuck with him so bad that he leaves off topic or delete his account? I have every right to be here as you or any other member.
I’m not saying Off Topic would be better off without you. I’m saying you’ll be better off without Off Topic if all it does is frustrate you.
Off topic is not what frustrates me. It is the trolling IN off topic that frustrates me. Frink himself has said he can’t walk away so your answer is well Fo, you better just go? That is the only reasonable suggestion anyone can come up with? It’s my fault because other members jump in, talk some shitty smack, then jump out and I see it when I come back?
You don’t think that’s reasonable do you? And I’m asking, not being shitty.
I’m honestly not sure how to help you not feel bad when people misinterpret/mock you. The best advice I can give is to ignore the situation. Don’t respond to the trolling.

LAST PAGE:
“I’m frustrated whenever I come to Off Topic.”
“Maybe avoid Off Topic.”
“Don’t be a jerk.”
“I wasn’t being a jerk.”
“You sounded like a jerk when I read your post in my head. Besides, ignoring part of a forum would make too many people happy, not just me.”
I’ve ignored plenty of threads, we still have three threads about favorite Palpatine holograms started by the same person with no explanation of what that even means.
You don’t know me. Maybe you should avoid trying to be kind by coming off sounding like a jerk? How does that feel? Probably not cool. Now you know how I feel.
I’ve been paying attention to you in Off Topic, and I can tell that it’s not doing anything positive for you. You asked my opinion in private and I said the same thing.
Apparently my experiment in being kind failed. Instead of offering helpful advice, I’m just going to be a jerk like everyone else, which is apparently what people want even if they complain about it constantly.
You don’t express yourself well in type then because I did not get the impression you were being kind.
Maybe it’s because you assume that everyone is attacking you even if they’re actually offering advice in response to a post where you asked for advice.

I just don’t understand people complaining about Frink, but then telling me to let Frink decide what thread is worthy instead of encouraging the poster to think before they post. I understand I’m trying to read logic into imperialscum posts, and that might hurt my head.
I just think we all could benefit from thinking before we post.
At least now you’ll have the entertainment value of Jetrell Fo probably having taken your idea seriously, and now thinking I’ve been “unbanned”, contributing to his conspiracy.
Would you like to share your real identity with us? You said previously that admin can check and confirm your ident by IP check. They have not openly confirmed anything about your identity, maybe you’d like to set the record straight to reflect your intrusion?
Check and confirm that 234-6 are the same person, not who their real identity is. The IP was not revealing in the mod’s research if it was an existing user (which I’m convinced it is not).
An existing user does not need to use the same IP address to create a new account, LOL. You apparently know more than most because I hadn’t seen the mods say anywhere that said research didn’t reveal anything.
Because I did the responsible thing and tattled to Wook on 234 as soon as he appeared.
I’ve been here for 8.5 years, this is the only forum I’m a regular member of, I think I know how this forum works. I’m trying to teach people how it works so they can avoid mockery, and I’m accused of being elitist. Whatever.
If you think I’m being elitist, fine. I won’t try to help people anymore. I’ll just mock them until they go away. If that’s what the community wants, that’s what they’ll get.

I can barely remember what projects I’ve contributed to, and I rarely pay attention to who is saying what in a project thread. Maybe Off Topic should be avoided, if the rest of the forum gives you pleasure. I did that for a while. It’s not very hard.
I’m trying to teach a new member how forums work because apparently they don’t know. I had a similar experience on my first forum, so I’m paying it forward instead of just reverting immediately to our usual unhelpful mockery. Sure, new threads can fit forum rules (this one does not, by the way), but Spuffire has been making multiple threads on the same subject and only taking the mockery as a sign to recreate the thread to get a fresh start. The community’s way isn’t working, so I’m reaching out to the person.
I preferred my own version of what happened to you. thanks for ruining it.

You are a new account, not one of the two previously banned ones, so that does not constitute a conspiracy. You are kind of fun to have around. You could give some others a run for their money if allowed to stay.
Ah, but if he IS allowed to stay, that does fit into your conspiracy of special treatment for some by the mods.
The J.J. commentary was a good listen. I only wish they had included another person, I always find it more entertaining when it’s a conversation rather than a solo-effort.*
*No need to make the Han joke unless you can come up with something really good.
Why include anyone other than J.J. since he’s the brains, sweetheart.
Well…I think there’s a pretty good argument to include Lawrence Kasdan the co-writer of The Force Awakens and writer of The Empire Strikes Back. I’d also love to hear from Kathleen Kennedy and her thoughts on bringing this all about. And then of course there’d be a lot of interest in a special commentary with Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. Heck, a commentary from the folks at ILM would be fascinating. Point is, the buck does not stop with Abrams.
whoosh
That’s the sound of the joke of Frink asking for a Han Solo joke, getting it, and Tobar missing it.
I’m glad you can count, 234-6.
The fact that I replied to you shows how little I actually pay attention to who’s talking.
I missed the return of 234. Perhaps he was indeed just a lurker who decided to be The Perfect Troll. In the Era of Socks, I might have embraced him. I guess I don’t want anyone to have a fake account, even if it’s their sole account.
I don’t like watching or being a part of the said thug-fest. Every time I step away, more than just one member run the gamut when it comes to who they want to kick around. I know where it started and I have tried many times to be peaceful only to be told and shown by many others here that it’s never going to happen.
How does one manage that? I am open to all reasonable solutions.
Just stop coming here. You don’t seem to be having fun or learning anything or contributing to a project, just making yourself angry. I understand that it might be addicting or you don’t want people talking about you behind your back (real or imagined), but I think it’s time to move on.
Alright Spuffure, here’s my first democratic reach out.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever been part of a forum before, but usually one doesn’t create thread for each wild thought one has. We have so many threads already that one probably can be used for every single one of the duplicate threads you’ve created. It’s why we have threads for the new movies and a Random Thoughts thread.
If you do have an actual new topic, expect that to go off topic soon. It’s how laid back forums like ours function. We try to keep serious threads serious, but unnecessary threads will be mocked then ignored. Like this one.
This is the first time I’m testing my personal two strikes rule. You’re at (an overdue) “one”.
I just realized that the love interest in Deadpool, who is thoroughly wasted, was played by Inara from Firefly. Now I hate Deadpool even more for wasting her.
The whole movie was a waste. They could have used this opportunity to make their dick and fart jokes without playing exactly into the tropes they made fun of in the credits. Imagine if she got kidnapped, was just offscreen forever, then Deadpool blows all kinds of shit up to get to where she thinks she is, turns out she escaped almost immediately. Just that one change would give it another point in my book.
The real reason he’s not in the ST is because Lando died escaping the Death Star II explosion at the end of ROTJ.
You’re my hero.
