ChrisMember
I loved his overtime goal against the Rangers last week. He’s a machine, totally, but better than Crosby?
ChrisMemberThe ghost busters are a powerful team, their strength is almost unmatched. However, even they have one weakness: Pizza.
Enter, the Samurai Pizza Cats!
Samurai Pizza Cats (Oh yeah). Who do you call when you want some pepperoni?
Samurai Pizza Cats (Right on). They’re stampin’ out crime and you know that ain’t baloney.There’s Speedy Cerviche: he’s the leader of the bunch.
A heck of a fighter, Makes a heck of a lunch,And little Polly Esther who’s never afraid (That’s me)
Of going into battle when the bad guy’s invade.
There’s Guido Anchovy, a wild romantic lover.
The cat gets down, down with a love-hangover.
Samurai Pizza Cats, they’re so bad, they’ve got more fur than any turtle ever had.They’re stronger than old cheese (Stronger than old cheese)
Stronger than dirt (Stronger than dirt)
If you step on their tails, then your gonna get hurt. (Don’t hurt me)Samurai Pizza Cats (they’re fightin crime)
All over town
3-2-1, Pizza Cats are on the runThe big cheese is a villan, who’s lower than low. It’s a bit of a shame he lives in Little Tokyo.
We’ve got our nasty Bad Bird and his nasty Ninja Crows. As soon as someone finds the script, we might begin the show.
Sit right back, pick up a seat and turn the sound up high, and if you want the full effect, go eat a pizza-pie!ChrisMemberYou need to adjust the columns for the overall team points at the top of the page, or otherwise fix them. they’re coming up with a #ref
ChrisMemberThe King? Pff, the King ain’t got nothin on [b:6harrfxa]The Fresh Prince[/b:6harrfxa]
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I liked to take a minute
Just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel AirIn west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys
Who were up to no good
Startin makin trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
She said ‘You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in bel Air’I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suite case and send me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket.
I put my walkman on and said, ‘I might as well kick it’.First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orang juice out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Bel-Air Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.But wait I hear the pricey booze, wine all that
Is Bel-Air the type of place they send this cool cat?
I don’t think sow
I’ll see when I get there
I hope they’re prepared for the prince of Bel-AirWell, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop and yelled my name out
I ain’t trying to get arrested
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightening, disappearedI whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I can say this cab is rare
But I thought ‘Naw, forget it’ – ‘Yo homes, to Bel Air!’I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie ‘Yo homes, smell ya later’
I looked at my kingdom
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel AirChrisMemberI’d be happy to email the DIHA about it, but it would be great to have some support so I don’t seem like a lone voice.
ChrisMemberWe could sticky a thread in the general forum to which we move all the posts which are off-topic, random, or dumb, and just have a caveat in the first post or in the thread title. The forum is tidy, everybody who reads that post knows they’re going into a racist, sexist, discriminatory pile of Hell Hound shite, yet everybody has a chance to read and post in it. The forums aren’t split, the general forum is kept active, and matt becomes a mere circus attraction <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif" alt="” title=”Tongue” />

Anything which users get access to by default must have content suitable for a general audience, albeit it doesn’t need to be on topic. But an off-topic doesn’t need to be secret either, if it’s obviously labeled as something completely non-hockey related then it shouldn’t be a problem.[/quote:q4qsw9lm]
Good point. I still think we should avoid a user-writeable forum to ensure we don’t get forum overlap and competition between forums, rendering both forums not active enough.
Ryan is right, generally, keeping the number of forums down and keeping the activity in each forum up is a good principle to work on.
ChrisMemberUpdated. Schedule is now current.
ChrisMemberYep, I just see a whole heap of potential for this thing, and very little use of it. That wouldn’t bother me if there were another system in place, but it doesn’t appear that there is (at least, no effective system).
Strong encouragement is the key I think. a vibe of “that’s how we do things” would definitely bring people online. At the moment there is a very 20th century perception that online methods of communicating and doing business are simply mirrors of real world transactions. That needn’t be the reality at all.
As I said, they’re just some thoughts which I thought people might enjoy discussing.
ChrisMemberIf the forum hath descended the bowels of hell, rather than descended into them, does that imply that the forum is now in the colon of hell?
ChrisMemberWhile we all appreciate your enthusiasm matt, we should probably keep things secular.
And also: What the f***?
ChrisMemberMmm, sorry, I wasn’t very clear before.
What I meant was that a lot of posts are funny as, and that’s great, and lots of people want to read them. If we want to keep the “general” forum relatively clean, tidy and roughly to do with hockey/players/events and not just general MSN-type chat, whenever a post goes a little wonky we could just go, “Hey guys, all’s fair in love and war, but you’re post has been moved to the Truly Random Crap Forum”.
New users wouldn’t get the wrong idea about the site, because for users with under 20 posts, all they’d see is general hockey-related (sorta) talk…. the kind of stuff hockey players as a group might discuss. Random personal shit along the lines of “Kyle ur gay. No ur. No ur. I said it first. I said it first plus ten. I said it first plus infinity. Ur so gay Kyle” or anything about “guest” (our other favourite topic) would be in the random crap forum, and all the “Forum People” would be able to read it.
Additionally, the majority of forum users would be read-only, so there’d be no “competition” between the general forum and the random forum.
Just a thought.
ChrisMemberI totally agree with kyle, but I have one suggestion:
I think we should have a moderator-writeable, user-readable (by request or post number) forum “sin-bin”, where we can split and move topics rather than deleting them.
This lets us remove anything inappropriate from the general chatter forum, while still keeping it alive.
i.e. people can’t use it like “general chatter”, because only moderators can post (really it would just be moving the posts into that forum), but anyone over, say, 20 posts can read the funny crap that’s in there.
That wasn’t very clear, but do you get my meaning?
ChrisMemberNice Kyle, you busted the 600-post milestone. Booyah!
ChrisMemberYes, but now that I’ve caught it, can I throw it back and regain the twenty seconds of my life I spent reading that?
