Most of us that used to populate the Drinky Board all weekend have found other ways to waste time while drunk...

The best long-term strategy for the board is probably just to recreate it as a subreddit.

Now Nas, I want to ask you what are you doing to make this place better?
I sent my recon spies in here and they were treated like mults!

We lose too many old posters doing that. What would we do without The Hawk and Cheap Charlie?

When did the board move to reddit?

It didn't move, but a subreddit was created.

But did any discussion actually take place there?

I don't mean to be hyperbolic, but just give Clawmaster the the keys.

I think at the height of meatballs 2 and inconcatenation culture (roughly mid-to-late 2015 to sometime since Musk bought twitter) places like this and dimeforscale (which has almost completely died, but was active during those halcyon days) and knittingparadise and ar15.com and yinyoga and bluelight and shroomery and gopitbull etc & other similar free speech internet watering holes served as a safe harbor for people to post without fear that one misstep and they'd be getting an email from HR about someone on the internet complaining about their views on zika or fracking or gay interspecies marriage or whatever.


As Ike's noted a few times, things have loosened up on twitter/X and even reddit folks now only passive aggressively down-vote any sort of personality expressed in a comment vs rallying a virtual tar-and-feathering crew against any non-lame-AF posts.


tl;dr this place is no longer as necessary as it once was. but keep it going cuz it looks like Trump about to get re-elected and when he does there's a good shot the virulent anti-free speech thing will return screaming for vengeance.

Is Clawmaster a male nurse?

He's talked about working in a hospital and having a largely female staff, so I just assumed he's some kind of nurse with supervisory authority in one unit or another.

Working in a field traditionally reserved for and dominated by women would explain much of his amusingly atavistic board persona, which reeks of castration anxiety and strikes me as a classic example of overcompensation.

Case closed. Thanks, Zippy!

The activity on a football Sunday is usually confined to about three or four threads. Every other thread tends to get frozen in place. Also, I think you're flat wrong about Saturdays. I don't know how many Saturdays I have made a post in the early morning, checked back in during the late afternoon, and discovered that only three or four threads jumped ahead of the thread in which I posted.

I don't post a lot, so I'm part of the problem here. I just think it's hard to deny that weekends are slow.

Addition By subtraction. JUST DO THE REST OF US A BREAK AND LEAVE.

My fan club is growing but seems to consist of odd men with strange political fetishes.

I do enjoy tapping the glass at the zoo from time to time to rile up the animals, find the responses to be rather Pavlovian and predictable, throw some odd thing that none of them would know about out there from time to time for enjoyment.

The Bears section is the only one that is really of interest.
