Ah, it was pissing on the carpet, not shitting on the floor.
Clearly, I have my scat mixed up. My bad.

Either one is evocative, though.

Eek! I never got a chance to read the Jesus thread till someone posted a link to it a page or so back. I can't believe someone put "Leave him alone, he's 33! Forever..."
I wasn't sad to see FT go. The main mod was getting really weird, especially with that draconic system she set up where you got a certain percent warning for each "crime" you commited. It was a celeb gossip board, for god's sake! Can one really base a power trip on moderating such a thing? (Oops, I just opened the door to some serious come-backs!)
You know who was cool, there? Miss Anthropy. I wonder if she's here in some other form...?
Anyhow, glad I'm here!

There are a couple other post-Fametracker message boards scattered about.

I actually moved over here right after the FT implosion, but I didn't register until October or so because I wasn't sure here would be permanent, and also I didn't have a computer. I felt like some sort of noob but I wasn't, I swear!

I lurked at FT for ages but never signed up because I hated the arbitrary meanness of the mods and nothing irritates me more than double standards.
I signed up here soon after FT imploded but rarely posted until Moldy set up the "All about Us" section. Lurking and reading those posts gave me the courage to speak up a bit. Don't know why but I think it proved that this was a much warmer place where people enjoyed themselves without meanness or judgment. It was friendly and happy; and it would draw you in against your will, or despite your (meaning, my) shyness. Something which FT never did.
My only wish is that Wing gets a few karmic kicks in her tush, and hard. The woman is so repellently smug and high on herself that she'd be a good match for CTC.

Apparently her reviews on Amazon.com got in a few of those kicks. They were harsh.
*But not uneccessarily so.

I remember posting on FT quite a bit. I was banned when I made a remark in one thread, a poster disagreed, and then followed me to other threads referencing said remark. When I finally told them where they could go, how they could get there, and what they could do to pay for it (in a private e-mail) a few days later, I was banned. It wasn't until much later I found out that this poster was friends with a friend of Wing Chun and Sars.
Call me crazy, but that sort of Telephone-style moderating chaps me.
