New to the Lurker Lounge

*Inserts mandatory snobbish "I am l33t poster, ph33r me you n00b with so little posts!" in order to heighten my own sense of self-importance while ignoring how stupid caring about forum status is*

*Leave a possbility for someone to conduct freudian analysis on this post, and possibly come up with something scandalous.

Perhaps not a freudian analysis, but what about a linguistic one? I'm approaching the final weeks of my thesis on online communication, and as Neo only sees the green code at the end, so do I only see the linguistic framework behind every forum post :P


Welcome to the Lounge, Zzeno! It's the best message board on the Internet. Us users have known this for quite some time, but I did a double-check last week just to make sure it was still the case. We're still #1 :)

Let me quote one of our wisest sages:

I've been playing on fora since the days of newsgroups carried over
uucp. "the LL isn't as bad" is a gross understatement Except in fora
devoted to one subject and well moderated, I've never seen another
that is as well behaved and yet permits the examination of extreme
topics. The LL is indeed an oasis of sanity in the asylum the Internet
has become.

I shall donate a banana to charity in the name of the member who can guess who wrote this (without cheating) :)
