I'd heard that Gameboy was a hated character, but he didn't phase me compared to the pure hatefulness of Simon, Kid Icarus, and to a lesser degree, Mega-Man.

One of Eddie's weirder habits was always his tendency to make up rules without telling anyone and then enforce them as though we were already supposed to know them.
For example, he once decided he didn't want people using the word "fuck" in user titles or signatures. Rather than mention this publicly, or even modifying the profile page to reject signatures with "fuck" in them, he wrote a script that removed them from existing signatures. Which is to say, you could set your signature to "fuck", not knowing anything was wrong, and a little while later your signature would mysteriously be blank.
One user, as I recall, believed this to be a glitch of some kind, and kept putting his "fuck"-containing user title back when it was deleted. And so Eddie banned him, becuase obviously he should have known that behavior was intentional and should have followed the rule that was never announced to anyone, including the other staff, up to that point.
Older DiC (before Jean Chalopin left) seems like it was way better than later DiC. Even the toyetic, preachy shows like The Get-Along Gang were pretty good.

I rememebr that. I have to wonder if Eddie actually added rules and forgot he added them, or if he was actively setting traps for people.
Yeah. TVT was mainly a teen and 20-something hangout, and if there's something teens aren't good at, it's taking a hint. I've said before that one of TVT's problems was assuming all its users were responsible adults that didn't need ground rules.

I may be wrong, but IIRC, that user was one of the staff themselves. Namely, one Bobby G.

It was Rumetzen I was thinking of who got banned for it, but I know Bobby got caught in the "why is my signature disappearing?" trap as well.
This past week the Colorado House State, Veterans & Military Affairs took up six bills being pushed by the gun industry lobby. All six were voted down after lengthy testimony. “Is this the end of it?” you may ask. It should be but with the ability of legislative leadership to grant late bill status to legislation introduced after the deadlines, it may not be.

The most perplexing thing about the "fuck" thing is how Eddie implemented it.
If most people wanted to prevent their forum users' signatures from containting certain words, the obvious solution would be to keep them from entering it in the first place. Had he added a simple blacklist feature to the profile page, with an error message like "Sorry, your signature contains a banned word", all the confusion would have been avoided.
Instead he somehow decided the best way to handle this was to allow people to enter anything they wanted, then silently delete it affter the fact with no indication of what happened or why. Just...what?
And that's not even mentioning the inanity of a "you can say 'fuck', but not in your signature" rule to begin with.

Klinotaxis said: having a profile page change wouldn't affect people who already had fuck in their signature
Yeah, but you could just go ahead and run the "delete signatures with 'fuck'" script once instead of having it be a recurring thing.

The thing about Legos, at least to me, is that you have to have a whole lot of them for it to really be fun.
Like, you can buy little individual kits that come with a minifigure and a vehicle, but then you've only really got the parts to build that particular thing.
What you need to do is get a couple of those big ol' buckets of Lego (do they still sell those?), toss in a few random sets you've found cheap, and get a big pool of Lego witch which to make fun things.

Lincoln Logs! I always loved those, though I'll admit I had a bad habit of gnawing on them. Central Avenue The Autistic Child liked the sensation of sinking her teeth into that lightweight wood.

I have a McDonald's coupon for a buy-one-get-one-free Quarter Pounder With Cheese.
Should I get two QPWCs at McDonald's before going to said event?
(FYI QPWC is a sandwich that contains, among other things, a beef pattie that has 0.25 lb worth of mass before cooking.)

I misread this subject line's second word as "ENSO".

if tax laws didn't get in the way i could suggest that they try running f2p MMOs with microtransactions
Like witness protection, but for princesses, so they can avoid assassination and briefly go under the radar.
I don't know if this is a thing, but if it were a thing, I wouldn't be told about it.
I would make them the villain's henchman all the time.
Everyone rode dinosaurs at all times, too.
