# Only twice, which is still pretty good going for six months.
I was in the process of collecting together a load of flounce links to make a little archive to put in my profile, but I'm actually rather upset about Hedgie's announcement yesterday and my heart's gone out of it.

# Flouncing's usually quite a funny occasion; a sort of morbid fascination of someone flipping their shit and leaving.
But massively gutted about HFH going.

# Yeah, Clay's doesn't bother me so much because although his stuff was very funny he didn't contribute much else to the board
whereas with THFH I'm really going to miss his personality on b3ta

# Clay was alright, but I think the whole 400px thing was a bit of a random thing to flounce over.
I'd give it a week or two before people like HFH start coming back. I hope so, anyway.

# Clay I think was one of these types who go on about the integrity of their art and not liking it judged or rated
you know like when bands or authors refuse to accept prizes? Which is why he was always making attempts to thwart the FP with wide images, and why he took it so seriously when someone told him it was a bit silly.

# It does seem that way, that Clay was fed up of getting FP'd all the time
for whatever reason that may be. I think I'd get a bit tired of it, if I was being FP'd a lot, but I wouldn't get mad over my work being resized for FP.

If anything, I'd probably gaz whoever sorts out the front page, asking them to take it easy, but what do I know, I've only had one FP. XD

# why would anyone be upset at their pics being fp'd?

# I think it's because his work was being FP'd too much.
There's most likely an underlying reason.

# seriously, did he say that?
wow! no, c'mon he didn't say he didn't want his pics fp'd, really?
why would he care?

one question, three parts

# I seriously think it's that not-selling-out, keepin'-it-real ethic
which is kind of understandable when celebrities shun awards, but frankly a bit of a pretentious attitude for photoshop jobs on a a comedy website.

# i didn't know there was prize money for fp's
i should brush up on both my shopping skills and my sense of humour.

seriously though, i agree, it'd be pretty pretentious.
he did get a LOT of fp's though, and between you and me, i did wonder how and why a few of them had made it on there

# Oh, why and how stuff gets fp'd is no mystery
It's just the personal tastes of the mods. I don't always agree with it but I think it's certainly consistent. I mean, if I was in charge of the FP you'd see all sorts of silly things on there. But I'm not, so you don't.

# I'm pretty sure he was just annoyed that
fps don't show your sig, and he thought it was deliberately doing so not to allow users to advertise their websites, rather than just not coded that way through the site being a bit ramshackle.

When it was explained that it was nothing personal, he seemed to make them more re-sizeable.

# i get why he was so pissed off about his posts being edited
but really, he was simply out trolled

# To be fair...
Clay flounced over one of his text posts being mod edited without it being made clear a mod had edited it. (The edit was then unedited to make Clay look like he was complaining about the FP resize) The 404 width thing was just a plain argument about a mod being petty (especially as there was already another Clay post on the front page 404 wide).

Since then, the history of the event has been edited 1984 style.

# So good they linked it twice...

# Needs extra linkage...
Appeared twice as I was doing other things while posting so had not seen real's post until board refreshed.

Atomic should be brought in to negotiate all problems that occur on the board.
