I can understand how some people get annoyed at BS posts. Some people want a more "serious" and worthwhile tone. It is one of the main reasons why Email, facebook and twitter hold no interest for me, because people use them for bullshit.

Thank fuck for teh, otherwise I'd have to get a FB/Twitter account to post my BS. Which reminds me...

I remember Lynch posting here though. He was funny, in a I'm-glad-he's-on-the-other-side-of-the-pond kinda way.

This extreme tech forum sounds great. It even had a working awards structure too, then eh?

Vastly superior to Teh.

Were you here during the Bourquefan (sp?) era?

what? We had an amazing rewards system ourselves, Dragon Points! It was brilliant, you could earn and distribute points to people (for being helpful, or funny, or whatever) and as you built up points your dragon egg would hatch and a little dragon would grow. It all ended badly, as I recall - something about kilts and very dubious fiction about dragons with fair maidens.

I bet Extreme Tech wasn't that extreme.

Ahh, you guys busted his balls and he responded in a cowboy, I'll run the fuck over ye with a steamroller 'n shotgun blazin' sort of way.

You pretty much got what you gave, except in his usual style, Lynch tried to inspire discussion by making some fairly outrageous statements folks took too seriously. He was mostly taking the piss with you but it was taken too much to heart. He's actually a good chap, quite good as a Community Manager (and writer).

Teh's awards were better because they were probably unattainable and went unclaimed.

Do tell. I have a vague but through-the glass-darkly recollection.
