I’ve published this week’s forum buildr v2.0 Beta build, The Anarchist’s Playbook. You know what sucks? Rules. You know what doesn’t have rules? ANARCHY! Here you can trade tips on making homemade bombs, stealing tools from construction sites, analyzing Rage Against the Machine lyrics, and leaving trash at McDonald’s. You’ll be taking down huge corporations and bring down the government in no time. Our next build will be Plagiaristic Intentions: ...
We’ve added Speed Run times for almost every forum. The two newest ones didn’t have enough statistics behind them to come up with accurate numbers. I also came up with what I think is a more statistically competant formula for calculating the speed run times for forums. It pays a lot more attention to the standard deviation of fast times, and also ignores the few people who have the Defaced Mona Lisa item from the calculations. In a few of the tougher forums, having a DML skewed the speed run times by a lot! ...
Some small updates today! New Stuff You now need to be level 4 in order to post on Flamebate or on IDC. This is a new mechanism to prevent abuse.

Whether you’re Verbophobic, Coimetrophobic, Methyphobic, or any other sort of phobic, you don’t have to suffer alone. Here at the OPSB you will not be judged or made fun of for your fears, you will be accepted as one of the family. (disregard if you are afraid of families.) ...
We’ve added a new Contests Forum in flamebate. You can use it if you were interested in running a contest for BP and earning that coveted Big Give E-Peen!
It’s that time of week again! We’ve just launched Girls Advocating Sexual Purity: With all the temptations facing girls today, isn’t it good to know that at GASP, we provide a safe outlet for girls? All GASP girls must sign a virginity pledge to participate on our forums, so you know that when you’re chatting with a GASP girl, you’re really talking to a pure, inexperienced virgin. We discuss how difficult it can be to hold back when a boy holds you close, and all the things you can do to alleviate that tension. If you’re a virgin, we really want you at GASP! ...
I listened to your feedback about our embedded IDC client and made a bunch of fixes: I changed the color to look more like the rest of the site. You can see how many people are online, and click to get a pop up of all members in the channel. Resizing is less buggy. INCIT chat has been changed to the same interface, finally we can see who is online during an INCIT round! ...
Ever since we launched INCIT, our chat room (IDC) has been a little dead. Another reason for the lack of activity is that the only link to open IDC was quite buried in Flamebate. As an attempt to address these problems, and introduce more people to chat in the process, I have embedded IDC on every page on Flamebate. If you go to flamebate now you will see it at the bottom. ...
We’ve just published our latest build, Rage Against the Moderators: How many times has this happened to you: You are in the middle of a heated discussion defending your position on furry porn, and the forum moderator BANS YOU for posting a shitty thread!

Fuck those guys… ...
On Sunday night we launched our latest forum build, [b]Faux News[/b]. Tired of being spoonfed lies by the liberal media? Then come join Faux News, where we discuss the truth! The infallible truth, told to us by rich old men. After all, history is written by the victors! It’s our 36th forum in the game, so we’ve also added A new E-Peen(tm) to celebrate. The name for this one was actually suggested to us by Big Brother! Thanks for that. ...
