I wrote a story and illustrated it.

Johnny likes bananas. Frank likes oranges.
Johnny doesnt like oranges. Frank doesnt like bananas.
Frank goes to the fruit shop and finds they only sell bananas. He asks the shopkeeper why he does not sell oranges.
The shop keeper replies 'What are oranges?'
After a brief description of an orange the shopkeeper agrees to stock a few and see if they sell, after all, if they do then he can go on holiday, and if they dont he has lost nothing.
Johnny can still buy bananas, Frank can buy oranges, the community has one extra thing they can buy if they so wish.
Everybody is happy.
Except for BraynDead, who stands in the corner flinging poo at anyone he doesnt recognise.

'Waa, I go onto every site on the internet insisting they use irc instead because I'm too thick to learn anything else. WAAAA.'

I wonder if it makes a habit of going to websites and then banging the 'this website is shit use irc' gong. Must make it a popular internet user.

It's my understanding that /talk was created as an alternative to /board, and to be honest that's pretty much all that's needed. IRC on a site like this simply wouldn't work.

Step 2: Tell them they're doing it wrong.
Step 3: Feign disbelief at their reactions.
Repeat Steps 2/3 ad nauseum.

I kept my head down and tried to fit in for a bit before I started being an irritating cunt.

If you still cant see the difference between politley requesting a new feature and demanding "everything is broken and must be replaced to appease ME MEEEE!" even after i drew such a pretty comic; it is you who are the idiot.

Starting a thread complaining about the layout for your first post is hardly going to endear you to anyone. There is a specific part of the site called Bug and Feature Requests, where your irc fanboyism could have gone pretty much ignored, but you would have got your rubbish argument across anyway. As it is, now you just look like a bell end.

Not much complaining going on here. I think everyone needs a dinnertime nap. *steals fluffy blanky*

You said "starting a thread". To be honest, although I agree that b3ta needs an irc channel like it needs a "fings I fotograffed" board, I think a lot of the negative reaction is just down to a new guy making a suggestion and upsetting the regulars who LIKE THEIR BOARD THE WAY IT IS GODDAMIT, WARTSENALL!!
Anyway, if you're up for a spot of poo flinging, I don't believe we've met either *dons raincoat* :D

The shop keeper replies "We tried them before, they sold well for, oh I’d say about 5 minutes, then nothing"
After a long and protracted converstion, explaining the same thing over and over again, the shopkeeper punches Frank in the cock and relentlessly face rapes him.
NOW everybody is happy

well maybe but you wouldn't get one

I don't even know what irc is, I couldn't care less who likes it and who doesn't, but your fruit-based tale was mildly amusing.
