it means "the mods are wankers, and they should put this image on the front page, however, as they are wankers, they haven't"

You're so bitter about your own website, first QOTW invasions, now /Board.
It's almost as if you don't regret making /talk.

I rue the day we opened b3ta

*checks*

Nope, 9/12 - sinister

So it's all your fault
Everything
The war
Death
Maddie
Baby Peas and all the cunts in the world
I should start a facebook protest or something
But I can't be arsed

That's actually quite good.
Also, www.b3ta.com/talk/1 boring first post.

I'm spending some time to flick through the numbers at the end and see how /talk progressed.
I'm looking for the first ever lunch thread.

Why not close the site down?
No bad can come of it, really.

it would bugger up the FHM 100 Greatest Websites though
interesting that 4Chan is rated higher than this place

Lots of us rue the day you started it as well

or when mods actually cleaned up the place and did things
granted I would probably be banned for things I have said, but at least the place would be more inviting for new users.

They fear the new

( Hankster, Sun 21 Dec 2008, 16:27, archived)

is this the 'new' anymore?
aren't we creeping toward becoming 'established'

another few months or years there'll be a b3ta retrospective on a tv arts programme
(Mehitabel_Itrang, Sun 21 Dec 2008, 16:30, archived)

nah, just the old normal thing of any one of "us" can start a thread with something hilarious like "your mum"
but if a new person does it, they may as well have fucked a baby
It's just a bit tiresome to a place that 80% of the time is quite nice
( Hankster, Sun 21 Dec 2008, 16:33, archived)

Yup
Different rules for different people...not that we should need any other rules than 'don't be a twat'

And yes, that includes...shock horror...people can start threads without a question

How dare they

( Hankster, Sun 21 Dec 2008, 16:40, archived)

I don't really think there's that much that needs to be cleared up by the mods,
occasionally, something might get out of hand, but somebody always runs to them anyway.
( TonyUNDERSCORE from the Internet, Sun 21 Dec 2008, 16:29, archived)

What mods?
I don't think there are any mods.

It's all just a myth.
