Title: Meanwhile..back at TOB
Post by: PizzaMonster on July 17, 2008, 08:27:29 PM
I know it's getting old but for some reason I just couldn't resist checking back into the old board.  Kinda like peeking at an accident scene...I know [roll].  There was an ad that just made me burst out laughing placed in the middle of a thread about a guy's rear tire squirm. 

Can you believe this?   ;D      Yep...those VS dudes are real moto people!!

The whole site is like a psychedelic flashing carnival.

It all just makes me want to bow down to our flounders in gratitude.

We're not worthy!   ;D     ;D

It's so ridiculous over there, that it's almost not worth commenting on... almost. I can't get over how easy it was to just destroy something that was once so good!

Ah, but the motorcycle.com "family of forums" is making a few bucks off of that site. What's more important than that?

I was hoping to be the first to do a tractor rear wheel conversion. Chicks dig tractors. Now I know where to get parts.

I liked when, shorty after the switch, I saw an ad for roller derby gear. The fact that I bought some new skates is beside the point.  :)

nope.   If you can't find your fill of breasts on the internet in places other than the DMF, you're using the technology incorrectly.

FTR, that's not VS doing that.  That's probably google or overture or someone else's advertising platform inserting ads based on keywords on the page.  Since tire was on the page, it did a search of its db and found a relevant match for an ad.

And yes, they're probably making a ton of money off of the DML for the time being.

You misunderstand. It is not the veiwing of the boobies that is of primary importance. It is the sharing of the boobies. If we can share with one another new boobies that we otherwise may not have seen then we are all happier. And if those boobies are draped over a 1000cc ass rocket, then they are clearly relevent to the board as a whole. So, viewed in that light, the sharing of board relevent boobies is really a community building excercise that will only draw closer this tight knit community of monster riders. Surely now you must reconsider the boobie ban.

;D

This is all done in humor. You know, jokes and stuff. If you feel the need to take something intended to be humorous (regardless if you thoght it was funny or not) and nit pick the semantics and start the eye rolling, well, that to me is like pissing in the punch bowl. Which is why I award you todays LIGHTEN UP FRANCIS award. Congratulations.

Funny. My comment was made in humor too. I believe if a certain thread is offensive or annoying to not read or participate in it. Sometimes messages are misunderstood. I will willingly accept your award, but no, I was not adding anything nasty to the punch bowl. Sorry you took it that way.

You ought to check out the Dallas/Ft.Worth (dfw) forum. It's a f#@king ghost town. You can hear the crickets. I cruise by to try and snag strays that do not know the history. Have learned to code my posts so I won't be axed by the "soup nazis"! Have rescued several. [thumbsup] Just a bummer over there... sad. :P

The whole episode with TOB (to which I admittedly arrived somewhat late, just as the exodus was taking place) reminds me of the following quote:

"The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it."

...which is usually attributed to John Gilmore at the EFF.

It's easy to see that the DMF is the logical and predictable outcome of making unwanted changes to TOB, then trying to censor people who disliked the changes, or who offered alternatives.  The whole attempt at censorship was doomed to fail from the outset, I think.  Good lesson in how TeH Intarnet works.

"I order you to be quiet!" = fail.   [laugh]
