Question for Gary & the Yahoo Users...

Off Topic Anything not relating to politics. A good place to cool off from all the debating.

Question for Gary & the Yahoo Users...
This is just out of curiosity... a couple questions for all of you who use the Yahoo! Boards...

1) Why bother? What is the appeal of unmoderated boards? They are also hideous and poorly designed...

2) This is the big one in my mind... Why do you all post on the St. Lucia board?

I am just curious...
Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand.

I agree with you there, Tadpole. However, it is a good way to keep in touch. I do have a board of my own, where my same friends keep in touch.

I, for one, am tired of the trollers who insult a lot. I don't know what the trollers like Gary have to gain by coming here and getting banned at some point or another.

We post on the St. Lucia board because Yahoo deleted the old format back in December. So the St. Lucia board was created.

Suffice it to say, I thought we were free of trolls, then Gary and the trolls found us. * SIGH *

It was fun, way back when. There was a lot of people I got friendly with that I actually miss (anybody remember not_b4_ive_had_my_coffee or catus?)

I posted for a while on the St. Lucia board, but it was just more of the same, troll fest.

I just don't get the mentality of trolls. What a sad, sorry life they must live if that's the way they get their kicks.

But Why the St. Lucia board? I don't get it... was it picked at random?

Don't get me wrong, I love St. Lucia, been there several times... But it seems so arbitrary...

Also...

I AM NOT ACCUSING ANYONE OF BEING A TROLL HERE OR IN ANY OTHER FORUM IN THIS THREAD. At no point did I intend for this thread to become a little pool of accusations... I am not telling anyone what they can or cannot say in this thread, but I do want to point out that THE VIEWS EXPRESSED BY OTHER MAY NOT BE THE SAME AS MY OWN AND MAY NOT BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DtT COMMUNITY OR STAFF.

I think someone just picked it arbitrarily, hoping the trolls wouldn't find it.

And they have. They were so diligent enough, that they persevered and crashed it. Now the St. Lucia board is a dump.

Who says that you are? The trolls know who they are. I don't enjoy them one bit, Tad. The St. Lucia board is a dump as of this minute.

It used to be a good spot to just keep in touch. I don't bother going there anymore since it turned into a troll slum.

The board was chosen specifically to keep the troll element from finding it. I would guess that one of the trolls searched names and located it, then invited his friends.

That was Gary, KOS. He found us, and invited his chumps.
