There have been a lot of members on this board almost since the beginning and a lot of them have been lurkers from the start. some are new some just like to watch the conversations. Shit burnking is basically a lurker, he rarely participates in any other thread than the create a caption.
For everyone that wants their 30 seconds back: 1) learn to read faster 2) don't make 2 posts in the idiotic Wheel of Bad Games forum.
As far as inside jokes go, there really aren't many of those here, and the ones that are used are mostly ones from the show that anyone who listens would get. even if there were no one should feel unwelcome because there are people that joke, I mean this is a MESSAGE BOARD therefore if there is some sort of inside joke any average person can always just ask and get a reference to the thread that the joke started in. If you want to look at it like that you are guilty of an "inside joke" yourself with that avatar.
Yeah, it's not as black and white as I made it but still the board exists because of the show, not the other way around. I just wanted to temper the sense of entitlement that was running rampant amongst the regulars.
