big words denote big insults... and twat and wanker are just overused enough to have lost much of their original power.

Novelty, I guess. Always striving for bigger and better. :D
I really have no idea about the decline, from an outsiders view there's nothing I could suggest. I was under the impression, very vague impression mind you, that there were insider gripes. :dunno:
There were a few of those, some/many of which were related to the rape fiasco. I think maybe, in general, we just know each other too well now, so it's harder to keep each other engaged, surprised and entertained. A lot like being married. ;)

That could prove to be a problem... :lol:

Just the natural way of things I suppose. The same's happening to some degree on RatSkep. Loads of people have left, fewer coming in. A bit of in-fighting and boredom sets in. We were bigger to begin with so the progress is slower but it'd be foolish to deny it's not happening.

Can't stand 'douche canoe', it's just trying too hard.

Shame it's slowed down round here, it used to be so lively and great for a lurk and a giggle.

Sounds more like a death knell. Not to worry as I have started drinking again and my suspension is coming to an end at ratskep. I'm not the troll rationalia needs right now, though ratz need their faith and loose bowels rewarded. Nor does it want a troll but I am the troll, I'm the troll ratskep deserves, the watchful troll, the silent troller, the dark troll. :drunk: :cheers: :dance: :Erasb: :irate: :ab: :demon: :plot: :zombie: :nervous: :yes:

Oh good. now there is proof that your intent at RatSkep is merely to troll. That should make it easier to make your ban permanent.

Jesus fucking Christ, get a sense of humour and take the stick out of your arse for once. Are you the hall monitor for ratskep or something. :roll:
