Things you did not post

[Pimpbot]

While I can't really get on board with the negativity of this post -- I still like AST and I find it informative and fun -- Arch is right about the site's lack of comedian participation. I got here in 2007 and there were still threads for Patton, PFT, Louie, and Adomian (at least). My sense of why they left is: their threads had become muddled with a lot of mundane questions and comments, to which they felt somewhat obligated to respond. Whether this obligation was simply their perception or the product of the posters' entitlement, I'm not sure.

Either way, I think we all need to realize that any well-known comedian that posts here is voluntarily making him or herself available, and when participating begins to feel obligatory, it loses its point and its fun. Ultimately, it becomes work. AST, above all, should not be "work" for anybody, except the mods (who we should treat like shit at every possible turn).

So ... cut Doug some slack in his threads, especially (not even) when he asks not to post GIFs. Those things pinwheel the fuck out of my computer.

And speaking of pinwheels, Brasky, you've officially become a broken record.

(and yes, my computer sucks)

Also, Twitter filled this void where fans could interact with comedians while giving them more power to edit/respond.

can we please just write a program or something that automatically neg-reps anyone who posts in this thread

John and Chad, go have fun crying in each other's arms about how horrible it is here. Leave the rest of us to talk and have fun.

Try to give LESS of a shit about what everyone else is doing.

One time I didn't post about how dumb I always thought this thread was.

The thread title makes me think of someone saying "Sometimes you make me want to threaten to kill you. I don't threaten to kill you because I'm a good person. BUT I WANT TO THREATEN TO KILL YOU SO BAD!"

I love all you guys. (Not TimBuktu) Let's pretend to be humans. Hugs.

John and Chad, go have fun being way more awesome than me.. Leave the rest of us to poop into each others mouths and congratulate each other for our collective mediocrity

Try to give LESS of a shit about how awesome your muscles look in those summer t-shirts

Fixed!!







this post is just FIXED EVERYTHING!!

Americas Team has the right idea. Nothing but positivity from here on out.

Arch, I'm sorry you don't like my posts. Hopefully I will post something one day that makes ya laugh.
SmartBunny, keep doing what you're doing. You're the nicest person on this board so far.
BillBrasky, you are the man.

(My wife's dad just died and I have spent the last 7 hours dealing with that and it made me realize life is too short to get caught up in this tomfoolery and way too short not to be nice to other people, even if you don't think they are reciprocating it).

...wrong thread

[Alex Mac]

It's not about DLM. It's about the steadily decreasing quality of posts/posters. My issue is with your choice to support the rabble and their "right" (read entitlement) to post non stop drivel in every thread over measured, intelligent,well thought out posts that ultimately would have kept all those comics here as active participants.
My curmudgeonly demeanor of late is because I loved coming to this pool and I hate that there's so many turds floating around in it now.
Continue to poop away but know that you're all better than that.

I dunno. Squint hard enough and maybe they're all actually Baby Ruths?

Be the change you want to see in the Board.

Stop shitting out negativity and hate shits and contribute in the way you think most useful/entertaining and maybe others will follow your lead. Or you can also leave at any time. It's your choice.

Also, stop being an asshole. Razz new posters who don't quite get the culture yet as much as you want, but it's supremely fucked up for you to get on smartbunny's case. She's earned the right to interact with everyone on this board as she chooses. You can seriously fuck off with that, man.

[aenemaTron]

I agree with everything but the last thing. How long do you have to be here before you can't be criticized? I mean, it's probably not worth it to get into this kind of argument one way or the other, but not because someone has - however they've done it - earned the right to avoid it.

[TimBuktu]

This is all pretty much pointless. They took over the place and are happy with it, and proud of their mediocrity. USA. USA.

You can have it.

Soooo... You're leaving?

If only boring people get bored, what does that mean about assholes?

That's that fucked-up entitlement shit messing with your head again. She was creepy to Doug Benson so he had to block her everywhere on the internet but somehow her AST stock options have vested and she may shit up anything with impunity? Unless you're a moderator, you don't earn a god damned thing, especially not the "right" to shit in threads.

[crlygrl]

Pulling a punch here and there wouldn't hurt anyone. Jesus fucking christ.

[smartbunny]

I was creepy to Doug Benson?? LOL! When you scamps get together you're worse than a sewing circle.

I stuck up for Scooby because everyone was shitting on him for the hipster comment, you ass. What in THE hell are you even talking about?

THAT'S what they were mad about?
