    I thinks its stupid. If its worth saying up there, its worth saying down here. With chat and PM, what's the board for anymore?

    I will agree that it has impacted the board in a negative way overall (not so funny here lately), but it's funny as shit there sometimes, especially when the bill and basom show is on.

    Don't be afeared, Mr. Suit, it won't hurt you.

    I agree - it's funny as hell. Heck, it's probably the future of mankind. My problems are twofold:
    1. I don't know how to poke my nose in for five minutes and then gracefully take my leave, having contributed nothing.
    2. I can't hang - I think too slowly and I'm not funny. I have to revise emails and posts several times before I submit or send them.

    I do miss Basom and Bill, out here in the slow motion world. Haven't seen the Whelk much, either.

    On the positive side, the chat room does seem to leave a more distilled stoke here.

    and here i was thinking owens put in chat specifically suck me away from the boards.
    i like the chat because i have a real opportunity to sell folks on the language of the future : basomese. listen to me now and hear me later, you will regret not becoming fluent in basomese (locally known as basomi).

    Umm...having seen (and participated) in some of the drivel on chat, I highly disagree with that statement.

    Haven't even tried it, but I don't like it. It seems much more dull around here since chat has been instituted. I am very afraid to even enter. I fear that a band of basomi warriors will throw me to the ground and gang rape me. I prefer the civilized, slow motion message board.

    The language is Basomi, but the people are the Basomese.

    Yeah, chat has impacted the board . . . but it sure is funny to be over there, and to "say" what comes to your mind before reconsidering . . .

    But don't be intimidated . . . just jump in and have fun!
