yup, I just went through it and the last 300 posts were all gape jokes

It's still a great thread though

I especially liked '8 Simple Rules for Gaping My Teenage Daughter', WP all. I do think Babs tormented soul has difficulty handling that thread (like I said about a year ago). The dude has serious brain injuries.

I don't know why it was so funny, but I got home yesterday after a long day out and read two hundred gape jokes in that thread. I was making up my own at the time, and perhaps what was funny was that I was madly thinking out how to make dumb puns and then I'd read one that was a little sideways from what I'd been thinking . . . I laughed out loud several times reading it. Mrs. T thought I was a total idiot, but what's new about that?

Given my travel problems this morning (plane to vegas canceled for a mechanical, so we're on a connection into san Francisco without our bags), I can't believe I missed "Gaped on a plane."

That was one of the funniest days in that thread, though.

Amazon appear to be doing 2 hour delivery that includes my postcode in London. Is this around elsewhere? Seems pretty fun, even if I DO have to install an app to get it right now.

if something decent ever actually happens with tbab it will no doubt get posted here

I believe we have a certain online store that delivers the same day for 10 euro surcharge, every day of the week. You have to order before 15:00 and its delivered to you between 18:00 and 22:00.

True ... true. Not sure if I can quit though .

The nice thing about the tbab thread is that if you miss 1,000 posts it only takes a few minutes to catch up since everything he posts is a duplicate of something he's already posted dozens of times so you can skip over 95% of the posts.

Except my "All your gape are belong to us" got buried and I think it was a pretty good gape take.

Mods,

Can tbab have a post count that is 0? Like at all times, no matter how many posts he has? Him having thousands of posts on this site is not really a good look.

The ensuing meltdown would be loltastic. He's got a lot of ego invested in that post count.

thats incredibly sad.

I need new tires on my Pilot. I remember a few years ago someone posted a website that compares the best deals on tires across the Internet. Any help?

About to finish a complete day at the office cubical style without dying of boredom! YAY ME BITCHES!

Some content to add to the post;
I've thought of a great performance art piece. Im going to advertise your regular daily household items (a fork, scarf, chair) on my local facebook craigslist group. All items will be priced at exactly 1000 euro's and I will record the posts and the comments into a journal or portfolio. Kinda sick idea right ?

Joining a fledgling law firm. I miss you Partypoker circa 2004.

It might be the best thing that ever happened over there. A constant 0 post count with the "newbie" or whatever undertitle would be amazing. I hope Alobar and 27 are looking into this to see if it is possible.

Setting the total post count and views of the thread to zero would be pretty great as well.

Nah, keep those where they're at. It will confuse and enrage the beast.

"but...wait...there's all these posts in this thread and I made the vast majority of them, why do THEY get credit for the posts and I don't!"

I know it's possible to change the post count, not sure if it can be permanently set to 0 thought.

The best would be to send him to Coventry, the vBulletin global ignore function in which posts are only visible to admins/OOT mods, and see how long it would take him to figure out that nobody could see any of his posts. Too bad Alobar couldn't just do it himself every time he goes on one of his homophobic *********** sprees.

They could do what they did with the OMG threads in BBV4L, posts there don't count towards the post count iirc. Set post count to zero, make that thread not count for post count, and confine him to that thread.

It's called Coventry? I wonder why.

I've heard it called shadowbanning which makes a lot more sense.

It gets done on reddit, the world's most popular and least-readable forum.

To send someone to Coventry is a British idiom meaning to deliberately ostracise someone. Typically, this is done by not talking to them, avoiding someone's company and generally pretending that they no longer exist. Victims are treated as though they are completely invisible and inaudible. It is often used to punish people who, for example, refuse to join a strike. The Coventry referred to in the phrase is a cathedral city in the West Midlands, England.

I knew that. Also, bedlam comes from the name of a famous British insane asylum.

@microbet: I may have been the only one that laughed at "all you gapes belong to us," just because nobody under forty will ever understand that. But I definitely did.

Great data on Coventry and bedlam; I knew the second but not the first.

I had a beer at the Rio last night with 2p2er +rep_lol. Friendly, articulate fellow -- we had a nice chat and I'm glad I did it.

Did he hook you up with that icky?
