There is this doorway on the front of the building which hold you in. Go towards it, pass through it to the natural analog world.

Spend some time outside, the weather is changing.


This, from a man who has never contributed one single substantial post in the last 2 years.

What's the matter, porter? You wouldn't know "evidence" unless it bit you in the butt. It looks to me like you don't spend enough time thinking about much of anything, let alone this board.

That's great.

Why don't the three of you fly to the same city and hold the first annual MDB shutin conference.

Alright, I'm in it up to my eyeballs now.

Porter,

Moderators have NO control on this board. For you to say such a thing is simply idiotic. Moderating this board is a thankless endeavor at best. There is not a thing moderators can do on this board that cannot be undone by admin. Their time on this board consists of deleting posts, splitting threads, moving threads and discussing what the hell to do in various situations without pissing off the entire community.

You are perhaps the most substance lacking, buffoonish, waste-of-space-poster-on-this-board.

If Shades doesn't want this board to look like a youtube thread, he oughta take a gander at YOUR posts and go from there.

Nobody can do it like Doc? Sober yourself up to the fact that Doc does nothing here but put a board online, the posters are the board and while he allows you (out of some reciprocal good old boy mentality) to run wild here, your habitual nonsense is one of the main alienating factors on this board and that one day it'll just be you running off at the keyboard to yourself while others (such as those on the list that harmony posted) have left in disgust.

For you to disrespect Bracki is so far off base, you aren't even in the field. Bracki is one of the kindest, fairest, temperate posters on this board whose character is far superior to most on this board. Bracki regularly contributes sincerity, substance and well researched documentation.

Bracki,

Ignore what you've seen on this thread and consider the lack of depth from which it comes. Keep doing what you do here. You have a rare and unique spark that makes this board better for your presence.

Thank you, kind sir. :-)

Wait a second. . . are you of the opinion that collegeterrace ought to be the first and only person banned from here, and that the only reason I don't is due only to "some reciprocal good old boy mentality," and not to the founding principles of MormonDiscussions.com?

Gee, I'm surprised I'm not on the list as well, since I take a day off from time to time. It must be a fluke.

Lots of these people are still around and have made recent posts. Blixa posted in this very thread shortly before this list of "losers". What a dis@!

Two more have now dusted us off. Will anyone but me even notice who they are and when they left?

What other evidence is needed, Scratch?

That's a list of great posters, but as a 11+ year veteran of Mormon-related bb's, I can say that people just come and go. Some lose interest and move on, some just go cold turkey because they find themselves addicted to bb's, etc. Other good posters come in and fill the vacuum. It's the cycle of Internet bb's in general. I don't think that list is "evidence" something is wrong with this bb. There has always been a relatively small cache of posters around here, which I like (unlike other bb's, which have so many posters it can be overwhelming). As far as I know, this is still the only (or one among very few) Mormon-related bb that doesn't censor posters. That freedom is priceless, even if only a few folks are around. Kudos to Doc and his great board.

If y'all are bored with the board, then perhaps indoor gardening might be an interesting hobby to pursue?

Indoor plants can be dangerous, though, so I suggest y'all take the advice given by The Man Who is Very Scared of Plants.

Going to buy another pack of googly eyes,
