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
aughhhh!!! pipi_k Mar 2013 #46
"Pocket Meta" Wait Wut Mar 2013 #47
Interesting pipi_k Mar 2013 #55

Being a lounge host might get interesting. Ptah Mar 2013 #36
I just read on Ask Admin... Wait Wut Mar 2013 #48
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
What was it like? Wait Wut Mar 2013 #25
It was peaceful really, kind of like this. bluedigger Mar 2013 #27

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
Posting Privileges Removed. bluedigger Mar 2013 #122
What are all the whiners going to do? hobbit709 Mar 2013 #15
another reason to crack a beer tonight! NRaleighLiberal Mar 2013 #16
... as if we needed a reason JustABozoOnThisBus Mar 2013 #18
true - I already had a reason. Because it is Thursday - and tomorrow is Friday (another reason!) NRaleighLiberal Mar 2013 #19
