    I'm all caught up on new Doctor Who, haven't really paid much attention to Torchwood though.

    And I haven't given The Sarah Jane Adventures so much as a passing glance, beyond catching the last few minutes before Doctor Who airs.

    Sarah Jane is for kids.

    Torchwood rocks. Oh yes.

    THE CABLE COMPANY TOOK SCIFI CHANNEL AWAY! When you go to it now, it says, "a cablebox is required to view this channel". but you have to pay a monthly fee to "rent" the box plus subscribe to a lame programming plan that costs twice as much as what I have now to be able to use the box.

    Mario, watch Torchwood. The first season fits right between the second and third seasons of the new Doctor Who. It is a bit... more riske than Doctor Who though.

    The second episode deals with an alien who possesses a girl, makes her have sex with men, and when they climax they disintegrate. I'm not kidding.

    I saw one episode, where one of the Torchwood guys died then was brought back by a magic glove, except his body was still dead and couldn't digest or anything. The episode ended with him having some kind of limited lifespan whenever his body was depleted of its mysterious energy source, but I was left unclear as to whether he was still body-dead.

    It's not really a lack of desire to watch Torchwood, it just hasn't been my priority. Doctor Who has been.

    I used The Pirate Bay to grab a missed episode, then remembered I could also download those that haven't aired on Sci-Fi yet. So I probably won't be watching the US broadcast anymore.

    You're too late hamelin, I told him about the orgasm alien long ago.

    The episode with the fairies was weird though. And the cannibals, although I liked the cannibal one if only because it was creepy as all hell...

    Oh damn, that reminds me of that one where they had they giant alien slug/whale/whatever thing, and they were cutting out chunks of it while it was alive, and then they sold it as beef.

    My mom couldn't eat meat for like a week after watching that episode.

    Edit: Best. Idea. Ever. You know how some forums have rankings based on how many posts the user has? Well we should do that. Except, instead of it being for posts the ranks could be awarded by admins/mods (meh) when some one says something exceptionally awesome. Or if they accomplish something exceptionally awesome. But wait, theres more, the ranks could be cuts of meat and kinds of meat varying by price. So an expensive cut of an expensive meat is a really high rank. Then we could brag about who has the best meat. *Ahem*

    Back, Vile Temptress!

    I deserve a Meat-Up just for coming up with the idea.

    We already have an extremely complicated and unintuitive merit/demerit system, but it's a SECRET.
  • edited May 2008
    It's not a SECRET. It's SCIENCE!

    It is BOTH

    And at the same time, NEITHER
  • edited May 2008
    Sounds like someone is wanting a secret demerit!
  • edited May 2008
    I say we get another one. Another ranking system that is.

    And It shall be based on VEGETABLES

    fanboy-forum.com has daps and bats. daps are + and bats are -. Every user has a dap/bat ratio. ex. +34/-2. So, it's been done.
  • edited May 2008
    I’ve seen things like that on other forums also, in one they have positive and negative Karma and you could raise or lower anyone once a day (same idea
    +2/-9 )
  • edited May 2008
    Karma ranking is only useful for large anonymous communities. We are neither, and therefore keep each other in check by making fun of people, or knowing their real first names.

    Zlam's name is Chris. My name is Graeme. Chris has been owned.

    Edit: Anyways this threads main topic is to good to keep off topic for long. I suggest someone post an amusing and witty conversation the likes of which I haven't had for a while.

    I thought vBulliten forums used Rep to calculate one's coolness factor.

    I don't think reputation is enabled on ours. We're probably all the better for it.

    GUYS THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY CONTEST. HIGH SCHOOL, YES. ONLINE FORUMS, NO.
  • edited May 2008
    That is until we have elections for Orange Belt Class President. Then we'll all learn an important lesson about how trying too hard to be popular doesn't make you very popular at all.
  • edited May 2008
    I think we're all missing the most important issue here. It doesn't matter what other people think of you. The only fair way to rank everyone is based on the order in which they joined the belt.
  • edited May 2008
    But then we can't rise in the ranks! #1.... so....... close!!
  • edited May 2008
    Huh. If that were so I would have a fairly high rank, but really I wouldn't consider myself a high ranking at all. Back at inksandwich so long ago I used to post a lot, but nowadays I mostly just read new posts in the general discussion section every few days and comment occasionally. High school gave me an active social life, but since my friends were all older than me I've pretty much gone the whole year without too many close friends.

    I mean, I think I might still have some forum members' phone numbers on my phone. That's some freakin ownage... assuming I haven't cleaned up my phone book in the past few years and that no one has changed their phone number.

    We can when the next cataclysm happens and we have to remake all our accounts again.

    I took full advantage of the last reset, moving from like 26th to 8th. Q-Tip and Faith Kitty need to post more.
