We have a pretty simple foyer. Just a couple of Bertoia chairs and a bit of art, in order to leave the focus on the large wooden screen that separates the foyer from the hallway:

Unfortunately this foyer crises has created something of a foyer tsunami amongst the fora. The advanced forum is the only one without a considerable investment in foyers and may be the wisest place to park one's post until this global crises is at an end.


Yet you seem to prefer the company here. Tell me. Who is really having more fun?

The real problem is existential. Without us, they'd have nothing to talk about.

Well, everybody loves a bubble. It starts out with member expansion, of course suggested by j and Fok, and soon you have five, even six screen names for every real member. Soon, when managment has had enough they start the bannings, and rather than contracting the number of real members to where it should be, a couple of real members get banned, and then eventually everything freezes up. Nobody will make posts for fear of bannings. Nobody will lend their remaining trolls to anybody else. Panic sets in. That is why it is good to hedge your bets and spend some of your time at a place like FNB which has never tolerated member expansion, and has steadfastly remained on a hard member system, in which each screen name is backed by a real, authentic person.

He's a libertarian according to the test so it does fit. Now that we're all classified according to some weird test I'd apppreciate if you analyzed everything we said using that grid of interpretation

WTF? Not each screen name is backed by a real, authentic person? Does that mean that maybe FNB = Manton?

Alternatively you can consider me here sort of like using foreign oil while hoarding domestic reserves.


I don't understand this, so I will stick with the commodity based currency explanation.

You never know. Some of these unbacked screen names have been sliced into many pieces and nobody really knows who owns a little bit of whom. During an earlier panic, now known as the Great Douchebag panic of '06, it was nearly impossible to figure out which members owned the various douche tranches.
