A while back, I posted this explanation of much of why conversation in the forums so often degenerates:  https://www.modelmayhem.com/p.php?thread_id=168669
A friend just passed me this video, which's a FAR more thorough examination.  I'm posting a new thread since I know most people won't read past page 1 of a thread  big_smile
So, here's what a board meeting would look like if it was run like an internet forum.

Original explanation:

Mods, you can move this to Off Topic if you want, but I really felt an explanation like this belonged in General or Site Related

This's another major issue in the fora:

Hopefully this explains much of what goes on to people who don't understand all the nastiness   smile

I loved the "Hi!  Get a fre iPod Nano!"
"Read this code"
*head explodes*


And I'm VERY disappointed no one posted "FIRST!"


(I think the MM equivalent would be yelling "HERE!" in threads we know will be locked)

Yeah, the mods tend to brig people for use of images of mentally challenged people, I wouldn't recommend that.
