The Current Events Pool

[Guest Brian]

Everyone's heard the news by now, that Mike's gone. He contributed half the posts to the folder, and started almost all the fights. So how much longer until the folder expires.

 

Note: Mod's cannot enter this pool. We have some God complexes in that realm.

 

I'll let some people pick first. Winner will get a medal for their sig, a naked picture of myself (oh, the ladies will love this), and three kernels of popcorn. Well, the last two are optional.

a naked picture of myself (oh, the ladies will love this),

 

Is that autographed?

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

You ain't a mod anymore, don't use "We". You're nothing but a "WWE Legend" and even that one is debatable.

[Guest Brian]

Watch your words young man. My promotion is forthcoming. Literaally.

 

And yes, it will be autographed. Gotta please the fans.

[Nighthawk 0]

It wasn't we in a self-inclusive sense, anyway.

[Guest Brian]

So, anybody going to take a date?

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

The size of your kernels is scaring people off. Maybe you should cover up.

[Guest cosbywasmurdered]

It'll stay indefinetly because as much as they all whine and bitch now, none of them have the balls to do anything about their unhappiness with TSM.

[Guest Brian]

But will traffic completely die? Will it taper off slowly in, say, six weeks? Or will it be sooner than later? Pick your dates people.

[Guest Cerebus]

Anyone know WHY Mike got banned?

[Your Paragon of Virtue 0]

Damn that WAS fast.

 

I say it will be never, because Mike will be back in two months. If he isn't back then two months sounds like a reasonable time, so that's the magic number, or amount, whatever.

There's always blogging!

[Guest Brian]

From what I've read and understand, culmination of things. Past history, past warnings, past talks, combined with just the way he attacks things incessantly finally led to his banning. It's one of those thing where the gates have been open for some time, the water just hadn't broke.

[Guest Cerebus]

Mike's actually been ok lately, and by "Ok" I mean he was his typical self but didn't get himself involved with abominations like this.

[Guest Brian]

There was that whole RJ/Mike thing, and they gave the benefit of the doubt to RJ based on past performance.

 

But, back on topic, who's got bets?

[Highland 0]

I give it about 3 months. It'll be on life support during that time and if it can't wake out of it, then obviously its cortex has turned to liquid and should be starved out of our misery.

 

But, if it makes a miraculous recovery, then it's all good.

[Guest Cerebus]

Have no fear, when the legislature goes out of session and I have nothing to do all summer I shall build CE into a shining bastion of dialogue and non-partisan political discussion.

 

Or WILL I?

[Guest Brian]

Will it last that long?

[Guest Cerebus]

Place your bets.

[tominator89 0]

I'll predict a swerve and say it lasts even longer. Maybe people will be able to post their opinions without getting them completely torn to shreds for no apparent reason.

Delete TSM.

You need a blog.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

If the people bitching about Mike being banned put that much effort into their other posts, then CE will last a long time.

[Guest Brian]

My original guess was ten weeks. Vacationing would kill it mid-summer.

[iggymcfly 0]

I say two weeks, just because it bores the shit out of me personally.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

Even if Current Events has less posts, will it matter that much? Most the posts we're going to miss out on were shit posts like "cult of death" posts and "Yeah, if I was a dirty Socialist I'd smell like you, too" snipes.

[Vern Gagne 0]

Place your bets.

It also ruins families!

[The Amazing Rando 0]

Messageboarding is a gateway drug.

 

 

Soon comes the blogging, and then MySpace.com, and eventually it becomes so bad you OD and your parents find you dead in their basement...choking on your Delete key and the letters "OMG WTF" written all down the screen.
