Unhappy His Herald

well. . . it has seemed oddly quiet around here and I'm beginning to see why.

yesterday my evil alter ego - HIS HERALD - overtook me and began posting innocuous though slighly irrelevant posts about HIS coming (some of you may remember my friend Herald as a fake avatar I used to announce my return from one of my periodic slumbers).

well - I'll admit it was mainly just screwing with people in the hopes of livening things up around here. I'll return to the fact that nothing was offensive, obscene or even really attacking (just lots of 'HE is coming' stuff). and i even tried to make it vaguely relevant to the threads.

but it does speak, in my mind at least, to the lethargic nature of this place (once you could be sure that any post would get five or six responses within an hour or so - these days i can log in throughout the day and see barely any movement). i am not in favor of obnoxious trolls - but it does seem that the rules of what counts as 'obnoxious' have become strikingly strict.

so - if some mod wants to ban me for my little alter-ego prank - feel free. after three years on this forum, i can't really say i'm sure i'll be here much longer anyway.

oh - one more thing -

this is what the board said when i tried to log in as herald:

"You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never"

i particularly like the 'no reason was specified'

Hey, I'm here! I just haven't been watching movies. I have one coming from Netflix soon - "Thr3e". If anyone has seen it, I'd appreciate your views.

So, Zero, watcha been up to? I went to Atlantic City this past weekend (had a free room at Harrah's). Didn't win much - but I came home with money so that's good - and the food sucked. Next time I'll go to the boardwalk side!

I knew it was a regular trying to create some kind of spark around here....I forgot about your alter ego. I did try to warn you to keep it in just a couple of threads, knowing what may happen.

This place always goes through "down" days.......it just seems to be lasting a bit longer this time. But if all the good posters [ yourself being one of them ]get bored and leave then we will never get back to the "good old days."

I have been busy with film work lately, and being the humorous fellow I am, in my egocentric way I was fantasizing that my being away was the real reason behind poster lethargy here. And who knows, that may even be the reason! Who's to say that poster lethargy and ego-reinforcement cannot coexist?

Work has been a Hell recently.

This place has been a respite.

Annoying one-liners taking over the threads - Not helpful.



Zero - You've been here a while. I love your posts. I love your monkey (that's right - I said it).

But if you're looking to add more to the forum (and I agree that it's been dull, DULL here recently), I don't think that this is the "more" that you're after. Please don't encourage the moron masses and obnoxious newbs to do the same. Else I'll have to go on a killing spree and, well, work just won't allow it.

Zero, if you go, how many animal related posters will be left to comfort me? As far as I can see, the only animal-type posters are the monkey and the ferret. If you go, I will hunt you down! Just like Bwind did in HDC the Movie part 7ero. Seriously, I know what you mean and it has become a lot more strict around here these days, but we're still recovering from all of the renob and Dave stuff. Yes it was ages ago but still, with more new people turning up and every once in a while, them sounding oddly familiar, it could have even been a case of mistaken identity. Maybe whichever MOD it was thought you were one of the troll kings! Don't get too annoyed about it and just have fun with what we've got for the moment. Things will brighten.

Stick around, pal. We'd miss you around here.

Oh by the way...your little stunt did creep me out for a minute.
In your "tremble" thread you said that we should all "gnash" our teeth together in fear.
I just thought it was odd that you should pick the somewhat unusual verb "gnash" right after I ridiculed you...and that it also happens to be my last name!

...creeper...
