Lexx.com Board …. {Part Ducks}
Well, deleting the thread may not be very [b]slack[/b] of you, and saving it even less so, but I do appreciate it. Kudos to you and to the monkeys too! [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] However, I now remember that what I wrote was extremely lame and that’s why I put it in that potentially doomed thread in the first place. So no, I don’t really need it, but thanks anyway. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] That was very considerate. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
As for your one star ratings Grape; isn’t that good? It’s interesting that you should mention it here right after a response specifically to me, because I am at least partially responsible.
You see, when I was first there I set the trend for making the worst threads (it could be the most off-topic, the most offensive, or the most insulting to Lexx) 5 stars, and the best threads (the ones that were really insightful about Lexx) one star. If you look carefully then you’ll see that it has generally continued that way. I have given you a couple one stars myself, and probably a lot more five star ratings for the creme de la creme of your very worst threads. [img]images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img] (joking) [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] I have never given myself a one star rating, because they’re never good enough to warrant less than three: “WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE?” being, in my opinion, my worst thread ever. It deserved 5 stars as one of the worst threads ever, unfortunately someone bumped it up to 3! [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img] Come on, it was way worse than that! [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
Anyway, I looked through the topics, and I don’t really think you’re being specifically targeted.
And as for why I started that trend off (and other observant people did follow suit) was because:
a. It’s funnier that way.
b. To confuse the newbies.
c. Cause confusing people is funny!
d. I wanted people to comment on the unusual way the threads were rated because I wanted a conversation on what makes a great thread.
Unfortunately, an intelligent converation (or debate) was usually too much to expect at Lexx.com. In this thread alone I’ve received for more answers to Lexx.com questions (questions that I tried hard to provoke discussion on) in a short time, than I did in months at lexx.com.
Seems kind of strange that you have to come over to Sadgeezer to understand some of the central mysteries of lexx.com. Someone should start a sadgeezer.com thread over there so that we can understand how this place works! [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] Just kidding, the admin. here is far more forthcoming than over there. It’s the level of transparency and accountability that I most love at this site — Flamegrape’s great response to me before is a good example of what makes this site great. Here they [i]always[/i] try to give you the answers to the questons you pose (I’m thinking specifically about questions related to the “behind the scenes” mechanics of the site) — and they’re always good, sensible answers too.
On a side note: I think this might interest all of you due to Lexxian’s renowned intelligence, sophistication, and sexiness. Please read the sixth post down [url=http://www.sadgeezer.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000360]here[/url]
Quark has girls in skimpy costumes just like Lexx, so I know you must be interested!
Edited for a serious blunder! Dang I wish this site didn’t say how many times you’ve edited it. It’s embarassing! Lexx.com forced me to post responses too fast, and it killed my writing skills.
