Why was fluent banned from shoutbox?

We're trying a new thing with simps. Simps get banned from Shoutbox 2.0 but can still post in other rooms.

Given they're going to fuck that up because they're retards, think of this as the final step they go through before their account gets nuked.
I admire your ruthlessness.

And now the banned gnash teeth at each other? Fluent said he wasn't this....


Perhaps that is the simps left I guess like Marat and Ontopoly and whomever else....

Stop yer simping for phantom chicks. Damn pussy-blindness and brain dead from faux titties bludgeoning ya all in the head dreaming of big bongo butt pillows.

Get a hobby like rat killing. Its great. Naybe some day I'll get 30 or 40 or 50 or more shish-kebobbed rodents filling several buckets.

Btw, the coyotes ate em all. Delicious dead rat snacks.... even the bloated rotten ones.

First you create shitbox for shitposting to free other subforums from trash, then you ban people there for shitposting.

And the good old "if you can't take the heat" has been dead for a few years already as well, with butthurt snowflakes all over the forum (and it begun with the introduction of "ignore" function).

Sometimes I miss the pure and raw old'dex.

I decided it was time to dump my bin and clean it out, even if some of those barely post on the forums.

I don't think this is quite what we had in mind when we created Shoutbox for shitposting:

No one cares what you had in mind. I wanna call you a lapdog but you're not even that. You're more of a really shitty jester that DU keeps around to make him feel better about himself, because he's not you. You're a fool.

I really didn't do anything to deserve what's happened to me, even you know that in your heartest of hearts, but it's lightyears out of my control now. It's cruel. But hey, I'll move on. An end to a chapter of my life which I will always look back on fondly.

As someone who drank and blamed everyone and everything but myself, I have some insight into why alcoholics constantly shift blame.​

When it comes to the blame game, alcoholics are professionals.​

We can blame anyone and anything but ourselves when it comes to the predicaments we find ourselves in and our choices. It’s easier to manipulate reality and shift blame than it is to own up to the fact that every time we pick up a drink, we are choosing to do so.

It isn’t even a conscious choice to blame others or to blame life circumstances. It’s seemingly part of the nature of being an alcoholic. As someone who drank and blamed everyone and everything but myself, I have some insight into why an alcoholic chooses to operate this way. The following are potential reasons we try so hard to shift blame.

Embarrassing Addictions​

I was often mortified about my actions and the choices I made while under the influence. For some reason, admitting that the situation was fully my own fault made it even more embarrassing. So instead of taking ownership of my actions, I blamed the breakup I had just gone through or the way my antidepressant interacted with alcohol. The reasoning behind my actions was never simply because I had a problem with alcohol. I always convinced myself (and tried to convince everyone else) that there was more to it than that.

Fear of Change​

For me, this reason was a huge factor in never wanting to blame myself for the situations I got into while drinking. If I admitted that I was responsible for my actions, that would mean something in my life would have to change. But I wasn’t ready to stop drinking, so I wasn’t about to admit to anything being my fault. I did whatever I could to continue drinking, and often that meant blaming others and blaming situations.

Alcoholic in Denial​

Part of active addiction is denial, which means an addict thinks he or she does not have a problem. Active addicts see alcohol or drugs as the solution. They rely on them as medicine to treat their emotional ills and get them through each day. Any suggestion that alcohol or drugs are the problem is unbearable because it challenges that assumption. It’s difficult to take the blame for something when your mind is thoroughly convinced that it is not your fault.

In short, alcoholics can only stop blaming others once they admit to having a problem. In my experience, admitting this showed me where the blame really should have been (myself). I did what I could to readjust my thinking and remind myself that I am ultimately in control of my own actions and choices.

That's all well and good DU but this is a gaming website, not an AA meeting. You're not my sponsor. I can get clean any time I want. This place is my socialisation, and you robbed me of it. If anything that's just going to make me drink more.

Alright, let's do a challenge: Since tomorrow (12 October) we don't drink until the last Friday of the month. Challenge accepted?

Yours has four pages. Mine has thirty seven pages. By my calculations that makes me approximately ten times as popular as you are, Kony.

Oops!

Type it in google and see what happens. I liked it.
I am extremely drunk right now and I have a very important meeting in roughly 7 hours time which could destroy my career if I turn up looking like the gormless braindead zombie which I am, multiplied by 2 billion because of the alcohol which I have consumed tonight. I tried to stop myself, I really did. The horrible insufferable anxiety and plain old adrenaline restless pacing-around-the-fucking-room-thinking-im-going-nuts-fear- which was imminent with a friday night of sobriety coupled with a stressful saturday morning apparently outweighed the inescapable reality of having a few beers and the knock on affect of uncontrollable drinking until my body would be in no state to handle anything of any physical or mental endurance the next day. Some kind of catch-22 thing there. I couldn't win. Alcoholism is a hell of a disease, I guess.

I really, really, hate my life, and I would shoot myself if I were allowed to own a gun right now. Shitty country.

My whole life is a blur, I only remember bits and pieces of it now. I keep a 2 litre bottle of whiskey next to my bed at all times, and it usually only lasts 3 nights at the most. When it goes empty I panic and have to go buy more immediately. My flat is full of empty beer cans. I can't remember apparently coherent conversations I have had with freinds and colleagues just days before. My brain is so used to alcohol that even when I am blackout drunk I can apparently function almost normally. I piss the bed often when I get unconscious drunk because my brain don't wake me up to empty my bladder. It's an awful state of affairs. I'm in a very very bad way. I don't feel well. I look ill. i need help. The worst thing is that I know that I have so much to offer but I have just been gripped by this crippling drug, I should have seen it coming. Alcoholism runs in my family and from the first sip I knew it had a potentially devastating power over me.
Those are you from over a decade ago. :M

So weird reading those back now. Doesn't even feel like me writing them. I mean, I know the addiction still exists and I can relate to that, but the prose etc just doesn't feel like me. It's like a different person. Time is weird.

Pretty soon all the good posters will be dead, and it will just be The Blob theebadorba all by it's self. And one day it will ask "where did everyone go? Why am I alone?" And The Blob will realize it made it's self alone, and it will spend the rest of eternity alone. And that's exactly what IT deserves, lol. Fuck you theo. Even your simps will get bored and leave at some point. Say hello to sweet loneliness. I've known her for many eons and I look forward to you meeting her as well :)
Good posters talk about video games more than site feedback.

Unfortunately sometimes you don't realise you're addicted to something until it's taken from you. Such is the case with the shoutbox. I could've gone weeks without using it but now that I know I can't, I'm clucking hard for it.

Would you be willing to participate in an experimental Drunk Tank subsection of Shoutbox in which you would be restricted to, no viewing or participating in any other of the rooms?

Note: I have neither the power to implement this nor do I even know if it's possible.
