Hi! I heard about this thread in some other thread! What are you guys up to?

Also, why cant threads like this happen at the new VN? 

[Phantom]

Because your threads can never be derailed?

[Cthulhu]

You have to have users for things like this to happen.

[Armok]

But if people enjoy stuff like this, then why don't they go there? It would let them do all these things with much more freedom and without fear.

[Phantom]

Because we like derailing stuff, you can't derail nonsense.

[Cthulhu]

I don't feel the urge to do things that would get me in trouble here.  I have no reason to go there.

[Sensei]

Basically what Phantom said... in more accurate terms, you could say that this sort of awesomeness only occurs when you derail from a real discussion.

Also... yeah, you need users.

I enjoy the fear. It makes me feel alive. I also hate freedom.

[Armok]

The problem is, if we make to many of this kind of thread here, or drive it just a little further (say, if that collar line of reasoning had been followed...) it becomes a problem, and the thread gets moderated.
According to me the best solution would be to let the threads start here, and then be moved to new VN, exept that people don't tend to folow the threads there, so they just die... Toady could probably do something nify with his admin power and susch going around that, but he dosn't want to get oficialy involved with new VN...

[Cthulhu]

If Toady has a problem with the thread, he'll lock it.  If he doesn't, it'll stay here.  There's no reason to be sticking threads in other forums, and shuffling stuff around.

[Armok]

Well, at several points it almost went into a direction that WOULD have caused a problem. if it were in new VN peaple could have run free withoute that fear and restranint, and we would have had a wonderfull topic abaut collars.

EXACTLY.

The reason Toady doesn't endorse the new VN is the same reason he removed the old VN.

Also, very rarely do I feel like I'm censoring myself to avoid a lock/mute, and when I do it's something that would have been in really bad taste anyway.

[Cthulhu]

Then go start a topic on collars, Armok.  We've been past that for pages and pages on this thread.

[Armok]

Done that!

hmm, now lets get back to the derail shall we?

[sonerohi]

Also, I'm pretty sure this stuff doesn't happen at new VN, because the idea of hanging onto something as pathetic and trashy as old VN is appalling to me. Nowadays, we have good clean shenanigans.
