The Meta forum just went bye-bye. [View all] WilliamPitt Mar 2013 OP

Yep, I just saw it for a second with the Xyzse Mar 2013 #1

R.I.P. Meta Iggo Mar 2013 #2

No offense intended, but why is that funny? talkingmime Mar 2013 #4

Just a guess -- but I'd bet it's the heaviness of the sarcasm. MiddleFingerMom Mar 2013 #34

I still don't get it. Pardon my ignorance. talkingmime Mar 2013 #37

See post #3 in this thread for the answer Bucky Mar 2013 #64

Because it is funny. HappyMe Mar 2013 #72

They closed the Headhunters Clubhouse with no warning... Iggo Mar 2013 #91

I noticed that too. It was some kind of cess pool for hatred, best I could tell. talkingmime Mar 2013 #3

It's a group where you (and everyone else) can ask questions of the Admins directly. MiddleFingerMom Mar 2013 #35

I'm clueless on the matter. Is it a humor group? talkingmime Mar 2013 #40

In the beginning, it's humorous. kentauros Mar 2013 #54

In the beginning there was nothing and God said "LET THERE BE LIGHT!" talkingmime Mar 2013 #58

Well, a talking unstable-planet killing nuclear bomb also said "Let there be light" kentauros Mar 2013 #59

I have that movie on my computer. I first saw it in like 1980 or something. talkingmime Mar 2013 #63

Hmmmm. Were you perhaps the target of some of that hatred? Honeycombe8 Mar 2013 #75

Wow...I thought pipi_k Mar 2013 #5

That would be horrible. Wait Wut Mar 2013 #23

Where does one go when the pedestal one has placed oneself upon goes away? MiddleFingerMom Mar 2013 #38

Personally, I go to the porcelain pedestal that has a stand with the comic pages on it. talkingmime Mar 2013 #85

Presumably mythology Mar 2013 #90

Yeah, but now where do I go to find out what I should be outraged about this week? WolverineDG Mar 2013 #92

I know I am being nosy, however I would like to ask a question about your departure. Knightraven Mar 2013 #32

Today is Friday (hint) talkingmime Mar 2013 #86

Thank God, it was a cesspit of poisonous behavior n/t LittleBlue Mar 2013 #12

I was having problems understanding what it's purpose was. Knightraven Mar 2013 #13

Its purpose was to accuse each and every new member of being a right wing shill/troll. Thegonagle Mar 2013 #119

I was in there when they shut the door. bluedigger Mar 2013 #14

Zotted? HappyMe Mar 2013 #83

Freeperese for PPR'd. bluedigger Mar 2013 #84

I don't get the reference. Zot was a comic book "Brewster Rocket" sort from the 80's. talkingmime Mar 2013 #87

In the comic strip "B.C." an anteater character makes the noise "ZOT!" when he snags anything. mikeytherat Mar 2013 #93

I'm quite familiar with that. That's a fun strip. But I still don't get it other than "death". talkingmime Mar 2013 #95

I think it's more the object suddenly disappearing to the sound of "ZOT." mikeytherat Mar 2013 #96

Ah, guillotine sort of thing. I think I understand now. I don't do coffee anymore so I'm sorta slow. talkingmime Mar 2013 #97

From our arch internet enemies at Free Republic. bluedigger Mar 2013 #98

That's sort of a silly word to use. talkingmime Mar 2013 #99

Take it up with Free Republic. bluedigger Mar 2013 #100

No thank you. I wouldn't want to contribute to their hit count. talkingmime Mar 2013 #101

What does PPR'd mean? Thegonagle Mar 2013 #120
