What is with all this bitter sniping that's taken over the forum in the last few weeks?

What the #$#% do you mean by that!? Is that some sort of swipe at me?!

(glares menacingly)

You talking to me?

Hey, JHub, Skylar called and wants her avatar back.

Funny enough, this is MILD compared to even a few years ago.

And how do you know, Rich? Well, random story: After seeing a cake clip featuring Ariande Diaz, I typed "Ariande" into the Search to see if that clip had surfaced earlier. The only thread that hit was this one... which had nothing to do with Ariande but EVERYTHING to do with folks just ripping each other to shreds on here. I had to backtrack history to find it again, but it's well worth a (gob-smacked) read:

As with most times Americans long for "the good ol' days," we are completely forgetting how shitty most of those days were.

Also, Archer avatars unite.

Oh, don't get me wrong. Epic flame war threads are FANTASTIC. Especially well after the fact. I just thought it was amusing that people think the UMD is snippy now, when it's positively genteel compared to a mere two years ago.

Libby was easily the best mod on here. Miss that guy. Along with the guys who used to make accounts just to troll.

I've been on board since Season 2, when a college ex of mine posted on FB, "Hey everybody! Watch my brother's show on FX! It's wrong but hilarious!"

So yeah. I'm two degrees from Archer. I keep waiting for the invite from her brother to attend a recording session, but sadly we're not that close....

EDIT: A mod just moved this into Off-Topic as I posted. So I guess that's curtains for this thread....

"Do you WANT ants? Because this is how you get ants!"

What the shit? I just Googled "Fucking esophageal cancer" to see if it was an ARCHER quote and didn't get any hits, so, damn. Hope the prognosis is encouraging.

Get better soon, JHub!.

Even though you told me to eat a bag of dicks. I'm sure you didn't mean it

Yeah, Jhub, get well. It's gonna be a mind job as much as anything else, so don't forget to ask those around you for a little help in dealing with shit. This is coming from a guy who got over melanoma**, btw, so stay strong.

Now, until you get better, say it with me:



:arteest:RRRRAAAAMMMMMMMMMMPAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!! :arteest:





[** What? I don't tell you turkeys everything, ya know. ]

Plonk, is that actual ARCHER wam? How did I not know about this? How do I get Judy Greer to recreate this scene in real life?

Yeah, that's an actual screenshot. It wasn't their best ep, think it was Se5 Ep 8 "On the carpet" from the vice season? There's some brief talk about popsicle fucking as Cherlene's first album cover shoot veers toward hard-core food pornography.

Well, there's your WAM pic! Is this going to be moved back to the Messy Forum?

Turns out the forums are made up of real people, and we all have bad days and different life situations. It's not a UMD thing, a porn thing, or an internet thing. It's just a human thing. It's best to take a step back, rise above, and try not to enter our own squirt into the pissing war. We can have perfectly interesting (and even heated) discussions, yet not be rude about it. Some doesn't understand that it's not necessary on UMD to yell to get listened to.

I'll fight.

Put 'em up!

I'm into that.

She'd kick your butt.

Not that you wouldn't like that.
