It's saying something that most tropers at the time it was still going on wouldn't even attempt to defend it, or just regard it as revolting. I even tried to put it on the TVT HONF sub-page once, but retracted because nothing that was so revolting needed to be mentioned again.
But... every single page of that thread was offensive... and it wasn't particularly hard to miss...
And, a cybering thread technically doesn't count as a sex thread? Technically? Isn't cybering internet sex by definition?
In any other forum except for one related to porn, this would have been shot down automatically, rather than let it grow into a grotesque megathread reviled by everyone. It's like ignoring a seemingly insignificant weed in a garden, and then it destroys most of said garden in a week.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
There is one, but all it does is free up your handle and blank your profile and avatar gallery. The former, unfortunately, means somebody else can just grab up your name.
I think a lot of the "avatar a8ove you" games are fun. Not all of them 8ut a lot.
I also like Corrupt-a-Wish when it's not full of derp and the "Cast tropers in works" thread when it is actually active (and it makes me wish I was 8etter at casting.)
The casting thread was good. The BANNED thread and the Fortunately/Unfortunately threads were also good back when I was in FG.
Still, I managed to count ~35 "avatar above you" threads just on the first page. I'm not saying that they can't be fun, just as the plethora of games where you shoot zombies don't all suck. I'm just saying that, as a genre, it's starting to stagnate
I used to post in FLG. I was just fucking around though, along with Midnight Violet. We tried our hardest to keep it from becoming cybersex. When I went on my hiatus, I went back and saw it had descended back into creepy tentacle-rape-underage sex.
Also, maybe I just wasn't in there very often (and if memory serves, I wasn't) but I don't recall anything underage. And the only tentacle rape was someone trolling (I think Vorpy, but don't quote me on that).
Not underage in the roleplay, but one of the posters who participated there was underage. Only 13 I think. And I could have sworn there was some serious tentacles involved at one point.
And the only tentacle rape was someone trolling (I think Vorpy, but don't quote me on that).
Good times.
Either way, as much fun as I had in the FLG, I do have to say it was an unsavory, useless thread, from the moment it was made (who the fuck is Blackmoon and why should I care?), which serves only to be a pedestal for the everlastingly creeped out to bitch and moan about shit.
And I could see how most people never flagged the game because a ton of the people went in, saw cybering and thought "well it's like 600+ pages...if this wasn't allowed it would have been deleted already I guess..." and then went to a different forum game.
Plus searching through all of those posts in a Forum Game is tedium at it's absolute highest level. Going directly to the last page usually didn't lead to finding cybering, but gay and dandy roleplaying and flirting until somebody interested came along and initiated it.
not only that but most of the people in the thread were REALLY REALLY BAD at cybering. Like generic vague one-liners bad, and not comedic gold like Bloodninja or...me. </selfplug>

What Anonus said.
Also didn't we just get a thread locked yesterday for heated discussion about TVT? Let's talk about something else.
Like how hilarious cults can be even though they really shouldn't.
...what is that picture of?
Assassin poems, Poems that shoot
guns. Poems that wrestle cops into alleys
and take their weapons leaving them dead
Honestly, there's not much there besides "do X with above person's avatar' games and the Cuddlepile.

The Path to Sexy Spaceship Heaven, I think.

Hey, I remember that thread.
I lifted it from another site (Unexplained Mysteries, in particular, though it's a common genre of forum game)
"Creepy" is the new "stability".
Also, maybe I just wasn't in there very often (and if memory serves, I wasn't) but I don't recall anything underage. And the only tentacle rape was someone trolling (I think Vorpy, but don't quote me on that).
If you're referring to Cream, she was not actually 13. That was someone's sockpuppet (Saturn's, as I recall).
And I was technically underage too, and in fact, still am, and still will be for another month or so.
I think most of the people in that thread were technically underage, now that I think of it.
BREAKIN THE LAW BREAKIN THE LAW
quick, someone call the police.
hear that whistling noise?
That's the joke going over my head.
Oh, that show.
Never saw it, but the concept of publicly humiliating pedophiles is an interesting one, I suppose.
It is disturbing, too.
I've never seen the show, so I cannot compliment if the disturbingness is outweighed by any value the show might have.
