how is "go fly a kite" ever an insult, it's fun, it's getting outside and getting exercise, it's seeing the beautiful sun and sky and clouds and running around joyously

You know what I don't get? All the people who seem to go out of the way to point out how they have no real connection to this place or group of people, and how everything that gets posted here is meaningless to them. Congratulations? Whoop-de-doo? Why do you come here? You're either full of bologna or just extremely bad at finding better things to do with your time.

"Go fly a kite" an invitation to pointlessness. Much like "go jump in a lake" or "go climb a tree" or "go pound sand." In 19th century England, it was probably as insulting as "go jerk off or something." Perhaps a modern equivalent is "don't you have (something childish and pointless) you're supposed to be doing?"

Exactly!

Because it leaks out into every other thread. It's not self-contained. Plus, it was couched as an OFFICIAL ANNOUCEMENT (dat dada dat dat da daaaaaaaah) from the administrator, and stayed RIGHT UP AT THE TOP of "what's new" for it's entire lifespan thus far. So yes, every single forum user is going to be in here, and you all get your say, so why shouldn't I?

And, not to mention, just because I care about these people and what's going on, doesn't mean I'm obsessive about it. Nor does it mean that I spent every waking moment thinking about Halforums.

It seems like the whats new thing is often at the center of controversy. I say it must be destroyed!

I will say, without "what's new" I would never post in a new thread ever again, because it's too much of a hassle to go through all the subforums. So I'd just be left bumping my same old threads over and over again.
 
Hello Halforums, look at Tinwhistler, now Mathias, now back at Tinwhistler, now back to Mathias. Sadly, he isn’t Mathias, but if he stopped using terrible puns and switched to flame wars, he could post like he’s Mathias . Look down, back up, where are you? You’re on a boat with Mathias. What’s in your hand, back at Mathias. I have it, it’s a topic with two puns that you love. Look again, the puns are now memes. Anything is possible when Tinwhistler posts like Mathias and not Yoshi. I’m on a horse.
