Nobody likes moving things between channels.

they don't like being banned/kicked either.

I have been so far been personally mostly unbothered by the admittedly quite pointless arguments that are occurring in apionet. though I don't think arguments are inherently hostile or unpleasant, others may feel otherwise. regardless of whether or not decorum is maintained, the circularity of the arguments can definitely be irritating, and I understand finding them frustrating or offputting.

I previously thought that the arguments in apionet did not displace other kinds of more productive conversations. but perhaps I am wrong. I thought of the pointless arguments as at least something to do, and I also genuinely wished to tease out the assumptions being made and to reach a mutual understanding and increase of knowledge. however, this is very difficult considering the way that some people engage in argument.

I want apionet to be enjoyable, pleasant, and perhaps productive for those who talk in it. so, what should we do to address this?

please try to avoid pointing fingers or rehashing old arguments in this thread and instead try to focus on ways we can improve apionet.

oh yeah. it starts with post #2. post #1 is lost media. so sad.

good. can we see?

it's funny how this thread is owned by me, but the first post in it is not mine. I can't remember how that came to be.

certain people certainly want this and are succeeding to a certain extent

I need to go see a man about a pre.

yeah!!!

I was exposed to the ravens who in their grace pecked and clawed all of my organs out.

hi, linda.

yeah

horniness is godliness.

but before Jerry could even take one step away, the trap door blown asunder from the fireball of a ghast, with the opening immediately caving in, swallowing all above.

I ought to read these books.

aggravated from being unnoticed, and as ghasts are wont, Big Brother regurgitated a flaming mass towards Elise and her tactical operatives.

they had been prepared for many things, but they could not have predicted the cacophony of screeching square specters suspended at the scene.

they were at once aghast at the scene before them.

I wish to begin an activity. the rules of the activity are as follows:

• in this thread, one may post a reply containing a single sentence.
• each sentence should contribute to an overall story.
• anything goes story-wise (except that which should be obvious), but each reply should be a good-faith contribution to the story, and keep in mind the cardinal rule of improv, "never say no*".
• one may not post two replies in a row.
• refresh the page right before posting to avoid conflicting replies.

I will post the first sentence.

* do not take this literally

well, that's a form of discussion.

bee, that sounds frustrating.

not using features does not mean they do not exist. they are used in codebases and libraries, burden implementations, and inform the usage and idioms of the language in general. you can't just ignore the complexity of a complex language.

also, C++ fails at being an extension to C. C++ is not a full superset of C.

I think that C++ is a horribly overcomplicated kitchen sink language that fails to improve many major flaws of C, being layered haphazardly upon it.

I enjoy your bootable OS things conceptually, and I hope you make more of them.

I'll look at all of the new GEORGE applications tomorrow and also answer all the john emails.

I like this GEORGE button quite a bit.

no, it would be zeusofthecrows@gmail.com. you can add +thing to your email address, and it delivers to the same address but obviously with a different "from" address.
