i just noticed now that VR has several other posts ITT, so bare in mind that when i read her latest, i wasn't aware of other things she's shared ITT. i still am not as i didn't read the posts, but they're probably personal judging by the uproar!

i thought the entire story sounded made up and still do (hopefully it is!). the bra and panties thing was the least of it, i just included that because it was comically peculiar to me.

yes, i both know and frequently socialize with tons of women.

i find it distasteful to indulge in a "Post Pics of Fat Chicks You Would Still Bang"-thread and then be upset when becoming a subject of it. not as distasteful as peeping toms snapping photos of random girls then finding the forum she frequents and posting it there, but still, not a good look.

It’s good you did your research before claiming something was almost certainly a fake post.

Are your other posts this well-researched and thought out, or is talking out of your ass with false confidence and no actual knowledge of a situation more your sort of thing?

i stated an opinion lying in bed 1 minute after i woke up. never said it was factual.

i basically just post whatever i feel like posting without much afterthought. i will continue to do so without reading every post ever made by a poster i'm commenting on.

with that said, i'm not above making mistakes and owning up to them. VR, i'm sorry for potentially hurting your feelings!

someone should have taken the 'stop posting' advice, these subsequent posts aren't making you come off any better

It would be quite odd to claim to be in a nine-year old thread that is no longer viewable, or even to remember its title, were it not truthful. And, yes, I can confirm existence of that thread.

MastaAces sounds like a dickbag.

"females"

"i'm sorry for potentially hurting your feelings"

i also remember having read the thread title. not sure what that proves...

i guess like all the other white knights ITT you have no problem with her indulging in the thread but then complaining when she's featured in it? i'm GUESSING she viewed the thread to see what guys think about girls but then when she saw opinions about HERSELF she didn't like it too much.

Knock it off with the "white knight" nonsense. She raised the question in the correct thread and I opined on my opinion. My opinion on it has nothing to do with her gender.

Anyway, why do you keep saying she was participating in that thread? She didn't say anything of the sort here. Your guess is fascinating but unfounded. Maybe she objected based on the title itself and saw her picture upon opening the thread.

That is quite the apology. You seem like a real stand-up gentleman!

It is fortunate for you that you don’t care what other people think of you.

This is quite a take.

It's lovely to see the people I love indignant on my behalf. And even the ones I barely know. Thank you all.

But every girl in that thread and the butterface one and every other thread like it is also a unique and special being with vulnerabilities and insecurities who can be hurt. Maybe if I were a more confident individual I would have thrown back my head, demanded an IP check on the photo, called the police and told everyone to bite me.

But I didn't.

That said, it's quite something to ask me why I even saw such a picture. Is MastaAces perhaps contending that no harm is done by those threads as long as the victims never find out? Because that's not the case. Those discussions make everyone in them worse people, encourage the objectification of women, reduce us to "things" and make the site look low-class and anti-female.

Masta, you say you remember the thread. Since you were so indignant about it that you refused to even open it out of your moral superiority, I assume you alerted a mod to it and requested its removal? Will we find records of you post-reporting EITHER "The Butterface-Off" OR "Post Pics of Fat Chicks You Would Still Bang?"

Grunch,

Enable these: https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/5...-webm-1434541/

And ban GIFs (especially in avatars).

why doesn't 2+2 have freerolls on online sites like Cardschat does?
What would you change on 2+2? Quote

I'd say because Cardschat appears to have affiliate deals with sites, something 2+2 has never done (aside from some CPA deals for free poker books several years ago). Whether new ownership decides to change this, I guess time will tell.

Lol, Jesus, it was quite obvious what she took offense to exactly. Apparently to anyone but you.
Are you autistic by any chance? Genuinely not trying to troll, I'm simply stunned that you could interpret an objection that was very clearly worded so wrongly.

Also, lol at dragging cancel culture into this and lol at the 8k+ poster talking about white knights. You don't have to be in support of cancel culture or some wannabe prince coming to the rescue to recognize that holding a 'look at this ****ing disgustingly deformed woman, can you find someone more repugnant?' competition isn't something you should want on this site.

this really sums up why people are still here, few people even talk poker anymore but like the community

Reddit, FB, Youtube, Twitter, etc... they'll have a way to react to other users' comments/contributions.

I have found myself many times deleting a reply because is not worth the engagement, but would still like to express my empathy or lack of it.

way too many clicks to do this right now, especially since the drop down menus over usernames makes new tab clicking a difficult process

yes, you just need 1-2 people engaging with the troll to make any ignore attempts pointless

i have cuepee on my ignore list and it's pointless because all his posts get quoted anyway so there's a lot of threads in bfi that i've left as a result of his aids super spreading


but mostly

I’m also seriously confused by the messaging and timing of the announcement, as it doesn’t seem there has been much interaction between new management and the userbase at the early stages.

Why make a big deal about working 12-hour days 7-days a week when there have been 2 posts to this point, none of which have been interacting directly with the community.

None of this seems particularly well planned out.

Sincerely wish you guys luck…I’m sure there’s some sort of uber genius at work here I’m just not getting.
this is deeply troubling, the twitter still says 2+2.com, i don't understand how you could possibly be alerted to this issue and several months later still have it up like this and i'm very worried about the long time direction of this site now

The time of 2+2 rebranding has not come yet. The 2+2.com logo was a temporary workaround since 2+2's Twitter hadn't any logo at that time, and Twitter is not our priority at this moment.
