The Trash Heap of the Heapers' Hangout

Best kind of horror is the kind where slashers are captured and deployed as Cold War superweapons to head off the Soviets in Afghanistan.

...

Or maybe that was a dream I had.

Tre · 2012-01-15 02:15:27

@superglobe: Nice farewell post, bro.

I have to say, I'm saddened to see some people go (you're one of them) but I can see why you guys want to, and I respect anyone's decisions to leave or stay.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 02:17:24

I just hope I don't lapse and start posting again in a week. That would be

well

pointless.

Misery · 2012-01-15 02:17:27

Ugh, the walls are so thin I can hear mom's yelling.

Tre · 2012-01-15 02:19:53

Think of it like you're quitting smoking in that case, Nussen. It'll be hard at first but if you keep going on without it then it'll be better for you in the long run.

Misery · 2012-01-15 02:22:01

If only this forum were more active...

Obā-san · 2012-01-15 02:22:42

I know.

Tre · 2012-01-15 02:22:58

There are more people here, it'll become so eventually.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-15 02:23:12

Compared to, say, six months ago, this forum is now bursting with activity.

My name's Nate, actually. Nussen is what I usually tell people because it's a different version of the same name, but it sounds cooler.

Yeah telling lies for absolutely no reason, another thing I need to quit doing.

Should there be more posters? Should squid lurk less? :o

Yes and Yes, respectively.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-15 02:23:46

Squid should lurk less.

AU and CA should start a PayPal fund to get us a paid plan. That or maybe I might even try setting up our own self-hosted Hangout, though that might take a while.

If we did the PP thing I would definitely pitch in once I get a yob.

And Squid, you're extremely lovable and great to have around, so yes and yes. :)

Anonus · 2012-01-15 02:27:33

lee4hmz once offered to pay for a Linode domain(?) and move the site there. I wonder if that's still in the cards for him.

Obā-san · 2012-01-15 02:27:33

It would be funny if TVT collapsed and was reborn out of the ashes as the Heapers Hangout.

Haven · 2012-01-15 02:28:18

Haventron wouldn't mind squiddletron lurking less. But the forum's pace is the forum's pace, and it's fine as it is.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 02:28:32

I think if we move it to an independent host, we should work more on becoming our own site rather than a TVT spinoff.

A rename might also be in order (The Trash Heap of the Internet? No, that's /b/...)

Tre · 2012-01-15 02:30:40

Just "The Trash Heap" would be an alright name.

Hey AU, does Vanilla let you export your community from one Vanilla forum to another? It'd be awesome if it did.

lee4hmz · 2012-01-15 02:31:48

I'm still game for that, though I have to look into the pricing again.

Also, it's weird looking at TV Tropes on this machine (an old iLamp running OS X 10.4.11). I use FreeSans (which is a close duplicate of Apple Helvetica) as my default sans-serif font in Linux, so when I go to TVT on a Mac, it looks exactly the same. Creepy.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 02:33:33

Also um.

Would it be okay if we had an RP subforum.

Just asking cus. It would be cool.

Anonus · 2012-01-15 02:33:36

^^^Yes, I think so.

...I still have to think this over, though.

^There is already one.

"Trashheap.net" is an open domain, from the looks of it. Likewise with "trashheap.info" if you guys want to be particularly cheap. :P

This is so reminding me of the whole Engadget exodus thing.

Imipolex G · 2012-01-15 02:34:40

Trash Heap may be going in directions I never expected.

But I, for now, am going to bed.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 02:34:50

oh hey. I toootally missed that

I be derpin'

'night Imipazzoli.

I recommend that we all put a link to the Trash Heap in every site we frequent.

It'd increase membership. And I think we're at a stage where more members is a good thing.

Viani · 2012-01-15 02:39:14

Anonus · 2012-01-15 02:39:28

never mind

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 02:42:05

Anonus: ?

Vorpy: hi there. :|

are you still mad at me?

Viani · 2012-01-15 02:42:17

Vorpy's here?

Haven · 2012-01-15 02:42:25

That wouldn't be a good idea. To me, the beauty of Heapers' Hangout is we don't "need" anything. We're not a community "about" anything--we're just hanging out. We definitely don't want to turn into a general "troper diaspora"--we're just the Heap, no more and no less. Small, slow paced, and relaxed.

The forum's not changing because you got banned. Read this as an official mod message if that's what it takes: stop making it all about you, Spain.

Misery · 2012-01-15 02:42:55

Huh?

Anonus · 2012-01-15 02:46:56

^^I agree with this.

It might be selfish of me to say this, but while I do like the self-hosting thing, the idea of this place being all hectic doesn't appeal to me.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 02:47:04

Tnophelia: Nevermind -_-'

Haven: Sorry. (also you're a mod here? I should really check the staff list.)

I wasn't trying to do that, but I apologize if I was.

It might be selfish of me to say this, but while I do like the self-hosting thing, the idea of this place being all hectic doesn't appeal to me.

I wouldn't really call it selfish. It's your site, after all. Don't feel bad for pursuing your own endgoal.

Tre · 2012-01-15 02:55:14

AU, CA and Seamus are the admins. Haven's a mod.

I kinda want to be a mod too but then again I don't.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 02:58:03

I want to be a mod everywhere.

That does not mean that I should actually be one, though.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-15 03:00:55

I totally should be a mod. I've put up with enough BULLSHIT to warrant it.

Viani · 2012-01-15 03:01:33

We both should be mods, voci.

Then we could give each other banjobs.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 03:02:21

A banjob sounds like an unpleasant form of BDSM involving a banjo and a straw hat.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-15 03:03:00

^^^

Viani · 2012-01-15 03:04:23

oh goooooood

Tre · 2012-01-15 03:04:39

I declare myself the GRAND INTRODUCTORY POO-BAH of the Hangout.

Why? Because in the off chance someone completely new, not from TVT or anything, shows up, I want to try to help 'em around the place, and it sounds so much more regal than "Forum Herald".

Salix Babylonika · 2012-01-15 03:05:22

re, tattoo:

Irene · 2012-01-15 03:06:12

Yeish, so much money wasted for such a small tattoo.

Manly McMacho · 2012-01-15 03:06:32

I've seen worse.

(is tempted to post dragon dick tattoo but does not because that would be bad)

Anonus · 2012-01-15 03:06:53

I'm tired.
