End of thread.

Nah, I still need to understand your siggie pic.

Why I will never leave B77:

10) Spam
9) Parody
8) Manweistas
7) H00mies
6) Bathwater Cretin
5) Statistics and all the wonderful things that we can twist them into
4) I need to post someplace, why not do it here?
3) Free access to people that I love to be around
2) My rebellious nature, and here, I find that I am not so rebellious
1) The posters!! What else matters? Finest kind!!

L_M's excellent explanation of MBTI personality types can be found here along with links to various online tests.

The gist of it is that there are 16 basic types of personality, and 4 general catagories: Artisan, Guardian, Rational and Idealist. The Guardian and Artisan types make up around 80% of the population, if I remember the number right, and this messageboard has a MUCH higher percentage of rare types than is normal in a RL community.

Actually, I think that thing you smell is TED, not the messageboard.

My new name will be pungent.

Top Ten Reasons to stay at Board 77....

• 10) It isn't TORC.
• 9) It isn't the Darkboard.
• 8) Its aspirations to maintain a culture of respect, equality and openness.
• 7) Self-Governance
• 6) The free exchange of ideas.
• 5) The charter
• 4) The fights
• 3) Free access to people that I love to piss off.
• 2) Its a great specimen for internet culture study.

...and the number one reason is...

• 1) All this is some really good free entertainment.

I B77.

1) Still going strong(ish) after 3 years
2) Still a place where everyone can be themselves, no matter how weird they are.
3) Smaug wouldn't stand a chance: (cool smilies)
4) All those lovely 'new' people who I never got to know before.
5) All those lovely 'old' people who've been my friends since 2002.
6) Even Hal can't get banned from here.
7) TIGG
7.5) Axordil
8) Thinking of England (best forum name ever).
9) I can indulge my power-hunger by being an admin (must be my turn again?)
10) It's home.

I have not found any compelling reasons to leave this place, though my time spent has dwindled. The lack of reason, is reason enough for me to stay.

Apparently, at some point I was going to change my name to pungent. Glad that never happened.

I stay because I like it here. That is the only reason I need.

Absolutely.

Oh but how they tried

for hal

I'm still here because there are still really cool people here. I've grown as a person since joining. I know it sounds SUPER lame *pushes horn rimmed glasses up brim of nose* *snort*

10. Habit
9. B77ers are generally interesting people. (In a geeky way.)
8. The Tolkien bond that binds us in everlasting, unspoken fellowship.
7. I can say "fuck." (like what Gimli said )
6. The hope that T.P. will one day turn heterosexual.
5. To nurture my inner geek.
4. To make an ass of myself.
3. Intelligent conversation.
2. To keep El salivating.
1. Enchie's enchie'ness.
0. Did I mention to make an ass of myself?

10 - we have no mods here (and need no mods here) so there isn't anyone to complain to but the person you have a problem with if there is a problem; therefore there is no enforcement of the attitude described on my next reason why I'm here

9 - a boardwide attitude of "this is how we do things, and you must fit it and if you don't, you're not welcome" is virtually non-existent

8 - Most of the time we know that when someone is being confrontational, it's probably either because they're venting, there is something wrong in RL that they might need help with, or they're really hurt by something.

7 - Ideas are welcome, even if they aren't always good

6 - I love the spam

5 - We don't have to censor everything goddamn fucking thing we say

4 - Thinking of England

3 - Even when we don't talk about Tolkien, we know that we will always have that underlying bond

2 - 77ers are h0tt!11@

1 - It is home and family . Comfy, cozy, a few cobwebs in the corner, a bit of dirt on the floor, the typical sibling rivalry and fights.... posters who love you even when they hate you and fight you even when they wouldn't change you for the world (though for your own good is a different matter ) This is definitely my favorite thing about b77 - it's the only place home enough online that I can be me

The Last Homely House indeed

I love you guys

Estel...9 and 10 are good ones. Signs of love and tolerance.

"Everybody hurts....
Take comfort in your friends."

Aww this is a nice thread. Taking a visit since I haven't been here in a while.

Great stuff.

B77 is still home

well, I got booted from TORC a few weeks ago for trying to fight trollism with trollism... seems that offensive fundamentalist propaganda is acceptable there but not highly ironic sexual innuendo... humph

Hell, almost ANY of us could have told you that.

Sorry to hear you got abused by TPTB there. Here...things are different.

yes we encourage highly sexual innuendo, and lots of it.

Hey I almost got banned there for the exact same reason. Now I pretend to be nice and try to let the other sexual innuendo that slides by not bother me much.
