If you could add Rule #20 to this messageboard what would it be?

Every new user name he comes up with has to have goat in it somewhere. Kind of a public service to the board.

Not a rule suggestion but I don't remember seeing a Facebook "Like" button in the threads until now. When did this happen?

Make an "*** of the Day" post be required and I don't mean Obama, Honey Boo Boos mother, etc.

on the same token, if you are forced into a new username, DS assigns you an avatar of his choice and a moniker.

Would you mind doing a screenshot? I turned it on a few months ago but never saw where it was.

Here you go. There's a slight delay but it appears it shows up when the thread is loaded.

I've never seen that button. What browser are you using? Any plugins of note?

This appears in Chrome, Firefox, and IE. Edit to add: As far as plugins are concerned, I think it's just the basics but these should be the most recent versions of the browsers.

Did you just leave Genespage forever and finally come over to SPS? Great! We don't care.

also

If your thread just got locked, don't start a new one just to get the last word in.

Can you get to facebook.com? If you can't - i don't think the like button will show. if you can - not sure what's happening.

A committee needs to be formed to weed out the newbies/stupid posts/useless banter. For a new users first 100 posts, each post must reviewed by the committee to decide if it's "worthy of the pack". After 100 reviewed posts the user is considered, AFOSP (a friend of six pack) and recieves free reign to post at will. Or, the poster becomes "all boy" and is cast from the temple.

20. Users are required to push the limits of all rules. The fact that doing this, as well as the failure to do this, may lead to your bannation achieves two important message board purposes: it adds to the excitement for you, as you know not when you may be banned for pushing limits or failing to push limits. It more importantly adds to the fun for us as we get to act as arbiters of arbitrary justice, which is the most honest and basic kind of justice there is. We get bored, as I'm sure you understand . . .

Rule 20: Admins shall disable new user registrations one week prior to the Egg Bowl until one week after national signing day. Screw post season bowl game drifters.

Rule #20 - You're an Ole Miss fan? Great! We don't care! Feel free to join in discussions and defend your ideas but don't feel free to hijack and take over every thread to try and get your point across. Why? Because we don't care.

Rule 20. Any usage of the word "Genespack" or belittling of SPS results in immediate banhammer. If you think SPS sucks, then make Nafoom better and enjoy.

No. Because the hazing is enough. If they can endure that and STILL come back, they either deserve to be here or are just straight up stupid.

I don't think that list is entirely accurate. Some of that data got lost in the transition.

March 3, 2008 was the day we moved from ezboard to Yuku.

I think that must've been one of the purge days, or around one of those. Apparently I read-only for at least 2 years before my first username because I can remember reading the board as far back as 2006, but my first username wasn't registered until 3/3/08, which I remember doing solely to ensure I could still read during one of those purge processes.

**** I was too scared to post back then because of the extreme hazing that went down on new posters.

ETA: Just saw DS' explanation of the day. That jives a little better with my memory of having to register back in 2006 so my reading ability would survive one of HD6's purges.

All posts bitching about any beat writers should be prefaced by the date you cancelled you newspaper subscription.
